Rap isn't music. Even Chuck D confessed that it is spoken word over a looped beat (generally cobbled from someone else's work). So there is no "sound of music" in that film.

And movie titles these days are generally 1 or 2 words that don't tell you much about the movie. Crash (actually at least the second movie with that title, the first being adapted from a book of the same name), Rent, Capote, Philadelphia...

How about "Struggle" or "Oppressed" for the title of your film?

How about a movie about the DNC since 1968? Revolution in the streets. Riots. Hippie radicals in love. They run Nixon ("boo hiss", not Alger Hiss) out of office and cheer as the US pulls out of Vietnam. Assorted domestic terrorist groups rob banks, target cops, mail bombs to employees at evil corporations. Reagan wins an election after sending George H.W. Bush to negotiate an October Surprise. Americans become homeless. Tears are shed when the Soviet Union topples along with the Berlin Wall. Those hippies we met in the 1968 Chicago riot? Well they now work for "competing" tv news agencies but are still having an on again off again romance. Bill Clinton wins by mandate and all is fine in the world except for a VRWC that would put McCarthy's efforts to shame. And in 2004 their old love with radicalism is reignited. They call the film "The Party" and hope that young America sees the film expecting a big fun film but gets a 190minute encapsulation of the DNC talking points. Infotainment at its worst. Gets some Oscar nominations and becomes required viewing in State run schools.
