Most of hip-hop’s generic fans would not have heard of 50 Cent or Black Eyed Peas four years ago. The two groups are a living testament to the massive shift in audience consumption; a factor both are willing to talk about in a documentary entitled All We Are Saying.
These two artists, in conjunction with others such as Gwen Stefani, speak in a documentary that aired at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2005. The insightful film, which shall soon be aired to the public on television, reveals honest truths about themselves and the nature of the music industry. Even Jimmy Iovine of Interscope makes an appearance explaining how Dr. Dre and Snoop are the new Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, as well as discussing why hip-hop now equates to rock ‘n’ roll.
Black Eyed Peas have had two well received albums long before ‘Where is the Love?’ was heard, and were the first individuals to ever put Grammy-winning Macy Gray on a track. They enjoyed underground success with such hits as ‘The Weekend’ and ‘Request Line’ on albums like Bridging The Gap and Behind the Front, long before their Elephunk album propelled them into the mainstream.
50 Cent shares a similar story after receiving acclaim for albums Guess Who’s Back and Power of the Dollar. 50 only garnered main stream success after signing to an offshoot off Dr. Dre’s popular Interscope label, Aftermath.
You can see All We Are Saying on Showtime March 8th.
