In the documentary “Hip Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes” filmmaker Byron Hurt takes a critical look at Hip Hop.
What we hope to do here is offer some feedback on the show and take a closer look at how mainstream Hip Hop got to where it is today and discuss what we need to understand about the images and messages in Hip Hop music.
Guests:
Courtney Morris, researcher who studies the impact of Hip Hop on black women.
Mahdi Fard Muhammad, author of “It’s Time: The Race Is Over To Open A Black Man’s Eyes” and director of the Relationship Fitness Center.
D. Solo, host and executive producer of the Hip Hop show “Street Flava”

I think its interesting tho cuz I used to live in H-town and I didnt have cable. So around like midnite on Houston’s Local PBS channel. Streetflava would come on its just mainly rap videos….so its kinda like they are promoting the same videos they are condemning…also its funny how the guy in the baby blue is talking about it but he just says he doesn’t promote beefs. WOW
