How 2 Build A Rapper is an interesting mix of docu-style narrative and comedy. It dives into this quirky journey of a white kid from Florida trying to make sense of the rap world. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but it mirrors the chaotic energy of the open mic scene. The producers, Lew and Cetre, bring a unique dynamic, pushing JP into situations that feel both authentic and absurd. The film captures that raw essence of trying to break into a genre that’s often about authenticity, while also playing with themes of identity and ambition. You can feel the atmosphere of Watts, which adds a layer of grit to the otherwise humorous interactions. The performances have an almost improvisational feel, which makes it distinctive in a sea of scripted comedies.
