Hip-hop is a man's game... but does it have to be? A self-described "hip-hop head" takes an in-depth look at masculinity and manhood in rap and hip-hop, where creative genius, poetic beauty and mad beats collide with misogyny, violence and homophobia, exposing the complex intersections of culture and commerce.
Check out the Web site for HIP-HOP: Beyond Beats and Rhymes, a riveting documentary made by a life-long hip-hop fan that tackles these issues, premiering February 20 on Independent Lens on PBS:
