What is Public Performance Rights (PPR)?

The Exhibition or  Screening of this Video in a Public Setting requires the venue, establishment, or in some cases the individual to secure an additional license, The Public Performance License. The basic concept here is that if you, your class or Institution are going to benefit from the Performance of a Producer's Work, the Producer should also benefit. These additional PPR fees collected by the Libraries or Educational Institutions  are paid to the Producer as compensation for the performance of their works within a Public Arena i.e.: Classroom, Rental Facility, Library, Auditorium or part of a Public Presentation for paying customers or for free.

“Beatboxing is a form of vocal percussion which primarily involves the Art of producing drum beats, rhythm, and

musical sounds using one's mouth, lips, tongue and voice.

 

It may also involve singing, vocal imitation of turntablism, the simulation of horns, strings, and other musical instruments.”

Los Angeles, CA -- Long before (and after) the tired beat machines that used to crank out mechanical, predigested, synthetic, "soulless" percussive rhythms, there was the  singular and quintessential  “Human Beat Boxer.”

 

The “Human Beat Boxer” stood before and alongside the MC in the center of the Cypher  and mesmerized the faithful with his or her blended virtuoso street performance. Lying  within the magical toolbox of the Beat Boxer are an array of personalized and unique mixed bag of  clicks, drum sounds, scratches, bass lines beats, trumpets, cymbals, guitar riffs, screams and other  indescribable noizes..

 

The audiences' soulful head-nod is the first affirmation of the death-of-silence which is always the first casualty, whenever "Tha Show" is in effect.

 

Combining these dynamic throat-based effects is to create a “wall of sound” that pays a distinct & living homage to the sacred “Boom-Bap,” which is the literal  heart & soul, and the underbelly of ole' school Hip-Hop.

 

The job of  the Human Beat Boxer is to compose the flawless soundscape “the music"“ with which he and the  MC together can rock the mics  creating the perfect circle.

 

GV8 THE FIFTH ELEMENT: THE ART OF THE BEAT BOXER documentary is directed  by multi award-winning indie filmmaker Bob Bryan.
