Synopsis for Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes:Post-film discussion leader: Pending
A riveting documentary, Hip-Hop tackles issues of masculinity, sexism, violence and homophobia in today's hip-hop culture, interwoven through interviews with rap artists, industry executives, rap fans and social critics. Instead of offering simple conclusions about hip-hop's fans and creators, the candid voices in the film describe the cultural and political environment in which the music is created, commercialized and consumed.
