HIP-HOP: BEYOND BEATS AND RHYMES is a riveting documentary that examines representations of gender roles in hip-hop and rap music through the lens of filmmaker Byron Hurt, a former college quarterback turned activist. Conceived as a loving critique from a self-proclaimed hip-hop head, Hurt examines issues of masculinity, sexism, violence and homophobia in todays hip-hop culture.

  • @whiteandarabs Hip Hop/Rap is a horrible culture/genre/culture! Degrading women openly, ignorant chanting, using ebonics which is just the rejection of education, and the huge blame the White Man whine.

    Real thugs are not cool, Real thugs are in prison! Why the rapper culture emulates prison is just pathetic.

    These rappers in this program claim to be men and masculine but in reality they are just grown boys raised by sexually loose single mothers. NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF!

  • @whiteandarabs youre not making any sense at all!

  • @SLYFOX944 Your right “Nobody can kill HIP HOP” …. Because it was never alive you retard. Saying it is a shit genre is an understatement and would be an injustice to music. All they (hip-hoppers/ rappers) do is degrade the English language and music as a whole.

  • @larette1176 hiphop is art music artist should be the blame for the message not hiphop, music is neutral and its the artist responsibility to display good or bad messages not the music. music is neutral!

  • Hip Hop Is Black Music! Hispanics did not "Co Create" Hip Hop along side Blacks, they gave LATER CONTRIBUTIONS to It.

  • I don't like how a lot of people blame the violent lyrics on eminem i saw what interview that described him as the bad boy of rap thats not fair he's not or never has been gang affilated he has never sold drugs he has hardly no criminal history cos he swears he's the bad boy of rap give him a break with a lot of rappers doing jail and multiple gu charges etc id say eminems probaryly the good guy of rap

  • @1Grandsun She is this user on deviantART who makes those comics, and one of them (Niels) had a reference to this video, so it drew many people to this link.

  • @wojiaotori Who the fuck is humon?
