Paragliding

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.
