Exactly! When someone makes generalizations nobody is safe,he/she falls under that generalization.Everybody must take it with a great assault! We cant have these rappers making generalizations against an entire race or religion or sexual preferences of people.we must care what is being said because what these rappers are saying has a profound effect on our youth and shapes the communities we live in.
2. It gets worse when such empty heads get high or virtually live an intoxicated life. It won't be surprising if we find nothing of great literature in their art. You don't wait till you're high or your producer is high and start singing a song. Such won't be a song, but a curse or an exhibit of emptiness. Lets try putting music back to the hands of real artists and see.
1. In old days, the arts were really, and I reiterate, really in the hands of people of substance. Shakespeare wasn't just an empty head writing about sex and money or violence. Singers used to perform for royalties because they really bore substance. Today, the advent of electronics has usurped the natural role of natural singers and performers. When those who have access to the mic are mostly empty-headed, they'll trumpet sex, violence, money in their arts. The arts have been contaminated!

It is accepted and politically correct in western societies to call black people black. Nothing wrong with that. Why shouldn't the white boy say "coloured people", we know he didn't mean anything racist, perhaps "people of colour" may have been better put, but there is no reason to point that out to him like that.
@DphL0 but if in fact it is a little bit racist, then let me apologize, i don't know all the racist words and all, i'm not american, not even a native English speaker, i never wanted to offend people, but still if i did, then please forgive me people, thank you for your forgiveness
@sasuketiger The problem with that is it's getting out of hand.

I saw this documentary on PBS and immensely enjoyed it. I DVRed it and still haven't deleted it. It's one of those docs I just want to pass around to everyone I know, especially those who are ardent-- and indiscriminate-- fans of current day mainstream hip hop.
I'm dancing since 3 years and i just broke up the highest grade in germany, because i managed a entrance exam in a popular school in hamburg.i will be trained by professionals everyday. dancing is my biggest passion and its more like a movement for me. i have began to upload my channel with dancing videos in different styles. i think its very importent to be unique in what you do. at the moment i dance a lot of house, because it gives me the chance to express myself. every feedback is welcome
I really enjoyed watching this video. It put a lot of thing in perspective for me about the hip-hop industry. What concerned me about this video is how women are portrayed in the video and in music videos.
they arent BASHING hip hop its just some things that can be changed..they didnt say hip hop is horrible-they just dont want it to get too negative on the growing generation.right?
Please, hip hop is not as nearly as bad as it used to be. Hip hiop has taken a dramatic turn in the las year. Nobody on the radio raps about killing niggaz anymore.I listen to hot 97, all i here is money and women. I rarely hear about killing people in rap anymore on the radio.
Its nothing but stupid ass autotune and rubbing wealth in the faces of hard working middleclass and lower middle class people. nuff fuckin said. of course then again this was recorded back in 2006.
I am a musican(rapper, songwriter, piano, guitar) it annoys me that almost everyone underme has assaulted hip-hop. May i remind you that the same things you say about hip-hop is the same thing that our ancestors said about jazz and their ancestors said about mozart, he(mozart) was torched for some of his music. And if im correct the same was said about Bach when all music didnt completely glorify God it was vulger so how can you let history repeat itself thru you??
I can't help but wonder sometimes if the KKK silently bankrolled hip-hop and gangsta rap. Why bother lynching somebody when the majority of their kids will tune in and fade away after getting hooked on this shit?
The problem is not that a bad message comes from music, and the solution is not removing music. That is lazy and leaves no mental stimulation. The solution is not letting violent music have the monopoly. Be a good role model. Listen to and discuss music with your kids so the message is less subtle. Expose kids to positive influence to balance music.
I think the kind of music we DON'T listen to says more, that's the side of ourselves we're afraid to face. Violent music can be an outlet for aggression. But it must be done smart. Know what's happening, think about it. Not for kids or idiots. I like gore-hop/horrorcore/death rap/acid rap/wicked shit, far worse than mainstream.
Listen to "Sick Motherfuckas" by Scum & KGP & Borey, that's some misogynistic violent sick music.
music is music, i may not like certain songs out, but banning any type of it would be just as rediculous, and would only encourage the kids to listen to it my making it more enticing as "forbidenn" honestly fads come and go, and some aren't as great as others, but it is just "entertainment" the only damage that is done is buy into it
Don't worry - rap will fade out soon (probably 2011). Rap sales are down by more than 20% each year and the decilne started in 2005 or so. Why? The major labels have flooded the market with crappy hip-hop and when it gets too much - people turn tehir back. In place where i live, rap was popular, but now dance music crap takes over (it's musch better than 50 cent though). So, happy 2011!
1. Sorry to burst your bubble but "anti-rap" folks have been saying that rap will "fade out" since like 1983, and well, look at how that turned out. Fun fact: In their early days the Beatles were turned down by labels on the premise that guitar rock would be going out the door soon. Once again, look at how that turned out. Also, decling album sales have been all across the board, from rock to R&B. Not that it matters to me. Why must sales and money always be the gauge of prosperity anyway?
Run DMC, A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, Common, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Gangstarr, The Roots, Nas, Krs-One, Rakim, Africa Bambata, Brand Nubian... DO I HAVE TO SAY MORE ?!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This guy is an idiot. We all know nigger equates to black people, bitches doesn't equate to black women, the history of the word is tottally different and ever changing. If a rapper is talking about bitches and hos and you take offence guess what...your probably a bitch, ho or a women with insercurities.
Hurt's film absolutely spotlights the fact that major labels and big business came into hip-hop and turned it into what we see today. Watch the entire film and not simply the trailer.
at the end of the day what this documentary lacks to focus on is the fact that Hip Hop and Rap in our day is not coming from what people are living, no counter culture, no more creativity it has all been stripped away by CAPITALIST CORPORATIONS that simply want to dumb down our society not just with Hip Hop music but all today's music, its all about marketing,business,profits!! These FASCIST PIGS have stripped us of the one thing that connects people together, real MUSIC!!
This is very true. You have to look hard to find anything real nowadays. Every musical group out there is only concerned with money and thus falls back repeating the same default routines.
I would also liike to mention country music, when has gone thru such a fascist metamorphism, that it is no longer country but rock (since that brought in more of a profit).
But this is our fault. As the audience we buy the tickets and cds, we perpetuate this.
Why did you remove your last comment, you made an excellent point. Brainwashing only works to a certian degree. Ultimately it is the audience that makes the final choice on what they will spend their money on.
It is all about personal responsibility.
We have to accept the choices we make and deal with them or their will never be any change for the better.
Yeah but you can't blame the CORPS. At the end of the day it's the people buying the product (everybody) that allow this shit quality to live on. If nobody bought it, the corps wouldn't produce it. It's the avg American that buys it and sends the message that this is what they want.
true, it is brainwashing and part of it has also to do with television and what these companies are trying to advertise and sell us on tv and like i said earlier if you had read what i posted i also believe it is up to the people to start doing something about it, i dont just blame corporations but both! they both play a part in this.
Not the best documentary from a technical standpoint... nor from a logical standpoint. But I gave it five stars because I think the subject matter merits more discussion.
And further more, talking is good , it gets the ball rolling on mind and heart change, because thats what is needed to facilitate condition and circumstance change, It is really a spiritual thing, and I think we all to often try to attack the problem with logic when none of this madness is logical so yeah, money and the promise of money is going to dominate what people are exposed to, talented HH artist with something to say are going to be out#rd in the end, gatta get to spirit,heart & mind
Hey I need to see this in it's entirety, but this is much needed dialog in the HH community and even better for those who are on the outside looking in because they lack discernment with who's who and slang translation, we have artists who can be racy and then those who are raunchy and those who are blatantly trashy and all out disrespectful and this is where things get gray for us, I believe that we all must be responsible for what we say, I think the music has taken a turn for the worst,
What hip hop developed into caters to the debasement of white culture.The reason why this music is so embraced by them is because it meshes with their culture so well. Before Hip hop came on the scene white culture was already practicing every facet that hip hop developed into. White folks made hip hop a success. It gives them a front seat tour on a 'ghetto safari'. If you threatened to take it away, they protest & curse you. They're worst than the brothers on this. THEY WNT THEIR GHETTO SAFARI!
I hope you aren't thinking that White people are the only people capable of what hip hop devolved into. You do realize that any man on this planet can have his vices, right?
For someone who's smart enough to realize that hip hop devolved, you should be smart enough to know this too. Let's not be stupid like those who gladly let hip hop devolve. Hip hop is just one of the many "victims" of the current system. Everything's fallen, really.
See Lenonhonorfilms Beat it...and Lenonhonorfilms Rhianna,
1619Symphony videos. Great Video! Images train us we are already sealed! We want to be like the devil the way we dress. The way we wear our hair. We have our slavemasters names too. Seek Freedom mentally! Free you mind and the rest will follow. But first learn to read slave! Its ok now for real! FREE PUBLIC SCHOOL and Uncle Sam has got to pass a law for the slave to stay in school. Its to easy to get your soul now..Beyonce
As for that very insightful idea of a hip hop version of the grunge/alt rock revolution someone else pitched awhile back: that would Kanye. Who, funny enough, trounced Fitty in that sales race back in 07. ;)*Sigh* If only he could get his shit together.
All that aside, the documentary was phenomenal. Granted, there were some aspects I deeply wished they had expounded on, but otherwise fantastic. Just goes to show the most poignant criticism of hip hop comes from a genuine lover of hip hop.
Thats fucking wack, such an important tool for the development of our culture, such valuable information is being kept in a safe forcing us to make the purchase when it should be more of a public service . There should be a burned copy of this sorta thing on every mail box, but no, once again, its not really about affecting change, is about making money. Never have i charged for my dvds that takes me weeks and weeks of hard work to put together, fuck, i can go on and on. you suck
did you hear what the white chick said???? Hip Hop is viewed as a way to understand "black" people, "black" culture... a world "they may never really know" (paraphrasing). That means people look at mainstream hip hop and the images it projects and go "hmm... THAT'S what its like to be "them." That's what "they're" like." And we know that's not the case. Check what bell hooks says on the subject for greater insight. She correlates what the main consumers of rap want to see and what's produced.
Exactly. It reinforces their sense of superiority, however aversive or ambivalent. I wholeheartedly agree w/ bell's assessment.
It's all so complex. I find it very disconcerting. I feel angered and depressed by what I see & hear. I also feel conflicted. I don't care how hard the beat is or how clever the lyricist, you cannot NOT hear the contradiction, misogyny, self-loathing, & ignorance that is rife in the majority of HH both from years past & currently. How do you reconcile that?
O I know... so sad :( It's a luv/hate relationship... I luv the roots of hip hop.. the rebelling inherent in.. intrinsic to.. but of course.. all that other crap that overwhelms it... *smh*.. depressing.
what video have you guys been watching???? NOBODY in the previous posts addressed the mans main issue which is the fixation that hip hop has with gun violence, denigrating women, posturing, etc..... don't skirt the issue people. Face and engage your brains, damn.... somebody say something intelligent, please.
Haha I agree. We had to analyze this video in a lecture of mine and meet with the director of the film to analyze it. Many of the issues being discussed are not the main point of what the director is trying to get at, not that it is bad to think outside the box, but to say , through all the information presented, that it is the white mans fault is fairly rediculous to me. If that were the case Im sure he would not have wasted his time with an hour long documentary and stuck to a 5 minute clip.
I know right? What happened to the good ol Common who came out with classy songs like "Heidi Hoe" & "The Bitch in Yoo"?
Oh and the correct line is: "But they say you be on the conscious tip/Get your head right and get up on this conscious dick/I embody everything from the godly to the party/ Its the way I was raised on the Southside safari"
Even if I were to disregard your blatant ignorance, your observation lost any & all integrity w/ the spewing of that now-cliche "hip hop is dead" drivel.
Well, his ex-girlfriend/mother of his children is at least bisexual. After they split she entered into a relationship with a woman. He cited her "lifestyle" as a reason why he should be granted custody of his sons. Eventually, the judge found him to be more "fit".
Rock n' roll had the same exact image in the 80's - the sexist, anti-gay, hypermasculine look, and the sex, drugs, and rock n' roll lifestyle (Sebastian Bach wore a shirt that said AIDS kill fags) - and then grunge happened and changed everything. All this shit is now happening to hip hop, and it's grunge should be right around the corner...when exactly? That's anybody's guess, but I'd say the early 2010's.
aren't they actually going thru a glam rock stage right now, where there acting one way but dressing another, look at the long hair-do's. all the jewelry, when a man looks like he is taking more time in the mirror than a woman, ummm?
and it seems that thes guys are hiding something, like the fact that most of them are gay, thats why they love to degrade women, they don't like them.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
that doesn't make sense
how are american women not liberated? name one straight guy who looks at a woman dancing in a bikini and doesn't think about sex ... exactly, you cant ... in order for women to be liberated, that also means they have the right to not only persue to become a president, but to also be a porn star if she wants ... just because every woman in the world isn't a CEO of a company, that doesn't mean they aren't liberated
While I agree that many American women have an incomplete idea of what it means to be liberated, I don't think how men view them has any bearing on where they fall on the liberation scale. A woman's liberation being dependent on how a man view her is in itself androcentric and patriarchal. It gives men too much control. To suggest that men must view women respectfully or equally for them to be liberated is erroneous.
Thanks for posting this! It should be put in the schools and should be seen by these no jacks that call themselves rappers! It is about the music, the lyrics and can you stand up in the battle with your fresh and new freestyle! Hip hop needs CPR and fast! Get it today next generation!
I just wrote my final paper for my hip hop globalization class, with my topic being on the stereotyping of African Americans because of hip hop and the use of violence and sex in hip hop music with the main question being why does this violent imagery and lyrics in hip hop appeal to white suburbia and other cultures across the world? This documentary helped me a lot with my paper. It was a great source.
when the documentarian said, "did you just say 'colored people'?" i immediately thought, "did you just say 'people of color'?" i'm so tired of that shit. can someone please tell me--and i'm serious--what the difference is between a person of color and colored person.
the only thing that sucks dick with hip hop, is that everyfucking song is sampled. almost every song, and now a days hiphop is like flo rida, he took that spin me right round baby song and made a remix and got famous . fuck him
How can it be "their" music when the CEOs of the companies that produce it are white middle class males? Do they really think that they have no part in the mainstream music?
How you think idiots like who ever you hear on the radio got there,Hip hop died when gangsta bull shit got big! it's over time for brothers to make a new music style & actually keep it,we gave em rock n roll time to give them hip hop!
okay i will say it in a different form i hate 50 cent and the rest of g unit i dont like kanye west and lil wayne and a lot more but i like del the funkee homosapien, canibus, apathy and many more
amen... mr. francis magalona was the best and very first rapper in the philippines. thus regarded as the master rapper or king of hip hop. he died last weekend of leukemia at age 44, seven months after diagnosed. he made his country proud through "actual" hip hop. thank god he ain't no gangsta.
did you just say colored people? hilarious.... but seriously I saw the entire movie and I thought that it was brilliant...even though it did not really create a solution...it was first hand narrative
Well, the issues addressed in this documentary are major social problems (racism, sexism, poverty, violence, social inequality). They wouldn't be problems if there were easily defined solutions. These issues existed long before Hip Hop. Now, the music is highlighting/disseminating them. To expect a solution be put forth or created by the documentarian to address such complex, interrelated, long-standing issues is a lofty expectation, imo. I agree that it's a great documentary. It was well done.
theres so many people interested in this topic and understand it lets start a blog or something like a group on the internet where people could talk about all these issues. Hit me up if u know how and want to.

The problem is not that a bad message comes from music, and the solution is not removing music. That is lazy and leaves no mental stimulation. The solution is not letting violent music have the monopoly. Be a good role model. Listen to and discuss music with your kids so the message is less subtle. Expose kids to positive influence to balance music.

I think the kind of music we DON'T listen to says more, that's the side of ourselves we're afraid to face. Violent music can be an outlet for aggression. But it must be done smart. Know what's happening, think about it. Not for kids or idiots. I like gore-hop/horrorcore/death rap/acid rap/wicked shit, far worse than mainstream.
Listen to "Sick Motherfuckas" by Scum & KGP & Borey, that's some misogynistic violent sick music.

music is music, i may not like certain songs out, but banning any type of it would be just as rediculous, and would only encourage the kids to listen to it my making it more enticing as "forbidenn" honestly fads come and go, and some aren't as great as others, but it is just "entertainment" the only damage that is done is buy into it

Don't worry - rap will fade out soon (probably 2011). Rap sales are down by more than 20% each year and the decilne started in 2005 or so. Why? The major labels have flooded the market with crappy hip-hop and when it gets too much - people turn tehir back. In place where i live, rap was popular, but now dance music crap takes over (it's musch better than 50 cent though). So, happy 2011!

1. Sorry to burst your bubble but "anti-rap" folks have been saying that rap will "fade out" since like 1983, and well, look at how that turned out. Fun fact: In their early days the Beatles were turned down by labels on the premise that guitar rock would be going out the door soon. Once again, look at how that turned out. Also, decling album sales have been all across the board, from rock to R&B. Not that it matters to me. Why must sales and money always be the gauge of prosperity anyway?

at the end of the day what this documentary lacks to focus on is the fact that Hip Hop and Rap in our day is not coming from what people are living, no counter culture, no more creativity it has all been stripped away by CAPITALIST CORPORATIONS that simply want to dumb down our society not just with Hip Hop music but all today's music, its all about marketing,business,profits!! These FASCIST PIGS have stripped us of the one thing that connects people together, real MUSIC!!
SilverNrGy985 2 years ago
This is very true. You have to look hard to find anything real nowadays. Every musical group out there is only concerned with money and thus falls back repeating the same default routines.
I would also liike to mention country music, when has gone thru such a fascist metamorphism, that it is no longer country but rock (since that brought in more of a profit).
But this is our fault. As the audience we buy the tickets and cds, we perpetuate this.

What hip hop developed into caters to the debasement of white culture.The reason why this music is so embraced by them is because it meshes with their culture so well. Before Hip hop came on the scene white culture was already practicing every facet that hip hop developed into. White folks made hip hop a success. It gives them a front seat tour on a 'ghetto safari'. If you threatened to take it away, they protest & curse you. They're worst than the brothers on this. THEY WNT THEIR GHETTO SAFARI!

I hope you aren't thinking that White people are the only people capable of what hip hop devolved into. You do realize that any man on this planet can have his vices, right?
For someone who's smart enough to realize that hip hop devolved, you should be smart enough to know this too. Let's not be stupid like those who gladly let hip hop devolve. Hip hop is just one of the many "victims" of the current system. Everything's fallen, really.

isreal423 2 years ago
did you hear what the white chick said???? Hip Hop is viewed as a way to understand "black" people, "black" culture... a world "they may never really know" (paraphrasing). That means people look at mainstream hip hop and the images it projects and go "hmm... THAT'S what its like to be "them." That's what "they're" like." And we know that's not the case. Check what bell hooks says on the subject for greater insight. She correlates what the main consumers of rap want to see and what's produced.
jmeansb 2 years ago 2
Exactly. It reinforces their sense of superiority, however aversive or ambivalent. I wholeheartedly agree w/ bell's assessment.
It's all so complex. I find it very disconcerting. I feel angered and depressed by what I see & hear. I also feel conflicted. I don't care how hard the beat is or how clever the lyricist, you cannot NOT hear the contradiction, misogyny, self-loathing, & ignorance that is rife in the majority of HH both from years past & currently. How do you reconcile that?

Haha I agree. We had to analyze this video in a lecture of mine and meet with the director of the film to analyze it. Many of the issues being discussed are not the main point of what the director is trying to get at, not that it is bad to think outside the box, but to say , through all the information presented, that it is the white mans fault is fairly rediculous to me. If that were the case Im sure he would not have wasted his time with an hour long documentary and stuck to a 5 minute clip.

Rock n' roll had the same exact image in the 80's - the sexist, anti-gay, hypermasculine look, and the sex, drugs, and rock n' roll lifestyle (Sebastian Bach wore a shirt that said AIDS kill fags) - and then grunge happened and changed everything. All this shit is now happening to hip hop, and it's grunge should be right around the corner...when exactly? That's anybody's guess, but I'd say the early 2010's.

andretheking86 2 years ago
While I agree that many American women have an incomplete idea of what it means to be liberated, I don't think how men view them has any bearing on where they fall on the liberation scale. A woman's liberation being dependent on how a man view her is in itself androcentric and patriarchal. It gives men too much control. To suggest that men must view women respectfully or equally for them to be liberated is erroneous.

Well, the issues addressed in this documentary are major social problems (racism, sexism, poverty, violence, social inequality). They wouldn't be problems if there were easily defined solutions. These issues existed long before Hip Hop. Now, the music is highlighting/disseminating them. To expect a solution be put forth or created by the documentarian to address such complex, interrelated, long-standing issues is a lofty expectation, imo. I agree that it's a great documentary. It was well done.
