Mar. 01, 2012 | Unknown | 63 Min | IMDb: 6.8 | Not RatedGenre: Documentary Directors: Wan Chi-Man, Actor:‘Chinese Hip-Hop Underground’ is an insider documentary following the story of Weber – one of Mainland China’s first rappers. Weber’s uncanny musical talents allow him to spearhead the creation of Chinese rap music – a free form of creative self-expression that spreads like wildfire amongst those struggling the most; young working class students and grassroots migrants left out of the country’s meteoric rise. Even while Weber’s music electrifies China’s youth and gains a huge following, he is challenged by enemies posing a threat to his musical existence: state censors, on the one hand, and armies of state-backed pop stars seeking to steal the name of hip-hop for their own gain, on the other. Can Weber and underground musicians like him survive this assault? Will Underground Chinese hip-hop survive?
