A Big Win for Hip-Hop
The Hip-Hop Project has won an appeal to revoke the ThinkFilm documentary's R-rating, despite its multiple use of the f-word. According to the Hollywood Reporter, six out of eight members of the MPAA's Review Ratings Board agreed to change the rating to PG-13, following an appeal from the movie's subject Chris "Kazi" Rolle and director Matt Ruskin.
"We decided to appeal the R rating to allow teenagers access to see this film because they are the ones who need it most," said Rolle, founder of the Hip Hop Project. Director Ruskin told the board, "This motion picture is a call to end the destructive forces of violence, misogyny and criminality that dominate the music our children are listening to."
As I previously reported, the Hip-Hop Project is (produced by Bruce Willis and Queen Latifah) chronicles the life of once-homeless rapper Kazi, as he helps poverty-stricken New York teens deal with their dilemma by making a hip-hop album.
