Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes
Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes
provides a riveting examination of manhood, sexism, and homophobia in hip-hop
culture.
Director Byron Hurt, former star college quarterback, longtime hip-hop fan, and
gender violence prevention educator, conceived the documentary as a
"loving critique" of a number of disturbing trends in the world of
rap music. He pays tribute to hip-hop while challenging the rap music industry
to take responsibility for glamorizing destructive, deeply conservative
stereotypes of manhood.
The documentary features revealing
interviews about masculinity and sexism with rappers such as Mos Def, Fat Joe,
Chuck D, Jadakiss, and Busta Rhymes, hip-hop mogul Russell Simmons, and
cultural commentators such as Michael Eric Dyson and Beverly Guy-Sheftall. This
film is critically acclaimed for its fearless engagement with issues of race,
gender violence, and the corporate exploitation of youth culture.
