DVD and resource guide: Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes

Byron Hurt

Documentary examining representations of gender roles in hip-hop and rap music: 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 collides with misogyny, violence and homophobia, exposing the complex intersections of culture and commerce.
