Hip-hop music first developed in the United States in the 1970s and has steadily grown in popularity in the decades since then. This docuseries traces the genre's dynamic evolution from the beginning through the 1990s. It starts with a look at artists -- including Afrika Bambaataa and Grandmaster Flash -- who laid the foundation early on, and then moves on to other influential groups like Run-DMC and Public Enemy. The show also explores differences in hip-hop on the East Coast compared to the West Coast.

letaiser @RT88401244 06/28/2023 kind of boring the 3rd season was good 4th was okay but this one passed me ,there was almost nothing interesting about the season ,but I still think it had potential this is a great documentary but it is very long See more 06/11/2020 Great in-depth interviews of legendary male voices in hip-hop. 4 seasons and only a single passing mention of Salt-n-Pepa. Queen Latifah, MC Lyte, Monie Love, Pebblie Poo, Lisa Lee, and many others were smashed into one 4-minute segment during season 2. Lil' Kim was given more time throughout the seasons because of her relationship to Biggie and Pac. Missy was the only other female artist that was passed the spotlight, which she very clearly shared with Timbaland. Really disappointing because it is such a comprehensive and compelling docuseries otherwise. Women are not shown to belong in the hip-hop pantheon. Which is absolutely false. See more ma'ark t @RT57514104 10/26/2018 There isn't a whole lot in these episodes that ture fans don't already know but the new interviews with some of the game's legends are pretty awesome.
