An Interesting Movie....HOLLYHOOD TV: Beyond Beats and Rhymes

If you haven't seen this documentary yet, I heavily recommend it. I just saw parts of it in my Sociology of Media class today. Your opinion of hip-hop will likely be forever changed.

Among the topics discussed: misogyny, a decline in lyrical content, homophobia, the homosexual undercurrent of hip-hop, role of white people in hip-hop, and the lack of emotional complexity.

Here is the whole series (in six parts, courtesy of HOLLYHOOD):
