Street Summer | Coming Soon | Channel 4

http://www.channel4.com/streetsummer

This August, Channel 4 celebrates the contemporary urban arts scene with Street Summer, shining a light on street dance, urban sport, rap/spoken word, hip hop and street art.

Street Summer will see the television premiere of Banksy's film Exit Through the Gift Shop, as well as Graffiti War, which lifts the lid on the artistic beef between graff writers and street artists.

Concrete Circus brings together the hottest names in urban sports with viral film-makers to capture snapshots of the scene. Krump, hip hop, b-boy and parkour collide on the night-time streets of London in One Man Walking, encouraging you to see the city with new eyes.

Idris Elba fronts How Hip Hop Changed the World, counting down the defining moments in street music and culture from the last 35 years with archive material, seminal tracks and insight from an all-star cast that includes Snoop Dogg and Tinchy Stryder.

Three-part series StreetDance tells the story of up-and-coming street dance crews at the Street Dance XXL UK Championship.

In Life of Rhyme, acclaimed MC Akala explores the lyrical art of rap, and the generation who choose to express themselves through poetry, rhyme and meter.

@benbonobo Why? It doesn't show any rioting or looting. It's ignorant to imply this has anything to do with the riots just because it's about the streets. Would you connect a video full of people wearing suits with corrupt bankers destroying the economy? No. So why judge these people because of the clothes they wear and the places they live.

JOHNNY CUPCAKES!

LOL the people in this video are retarded, why can they not just go get a job....

It kinda sucks that, after last summer, I doubt Channel 4 will be doing anything to do with the streets again for a long time...

@FowardUntoDawn13 am guessing you believe that politicians bring positive results to the world and that Britain is now more safer than before it sleep walked into a complete surveillanced world

[FowardUntoDawn13]

@TheGamekid93 Whatever it used to be, as far as I can see the new adaptation of 'street hip-hop' only brings bad results.

@FowardUntoDawn13 hip hop she was so beautiful until Wayne and drake raped he...now individuals like lupe and lowkey are trying to bring her back but i am not so hopeful that she will ever be back in this shitty human infested world

@Lancey999 “scaremongery shite” – excuse me, I have worked in social-care programmes and seen first hand the physical and mental damage that this criminal gang culture is having on innocent people, you clearly haven’t. It's my taxes that fund these people's welfare income and allow them to live an unemployed life and yet they still commit criminal acts. Rap music does unite people, it unites them to take to the streets, rob other people of their property and stab them to death on the streets.

@FowardUntoDawn13 Plus it doesn't sum up everything wrong with Britain, how about the fucking banks and the politicians who shaft us and these working class people up the arse on the daily? Huh? That's a fucking clueless view. No one is afraid to leave their house either, dunno where this scaremongery shite comes from. Oh, clueless people. Dubstep/hip-hop does not fuel criminals, it's music that unites groups of people. Pop down to a gig and find out. There's your explanation.

@FowardUntoDawn13 Embarass myself? Haha, I love that type of reply. Your analysation of this advert is clueless because it's really not portraying a set of 'hooded thugs', having a hood on doesn't make you a thug. How old are you btw? Illegally spraying graffiti? It's an art, just look at Banksy, what he's doing is "illegal" in the eyes of our bullshit society, but it's downright talent. And a lot more talented than these "legal" artists like Rihanna and other shite pop stars.
