Beyond Beats & Rhymes review

Over the years i have grownup in the hip-hopculture. My father is a well kwone DJ in the bay area. He has been DJing sence he was seventeen years old and became a producer a few years later. So i am and was born in to the hip-hop culture. being tought the ends and outs of the culture and industry in general gives me a different look at what goes on in the culture of hip-hop.

Hip-hop is an expression of ones self. some express it different then others. Some in the way the dress others ine the way they walk and talk. Hip-hop is not all about the music as people think. Hip-hop is more about the indavidual then the music. Some say "Hip-hop is dead" others say "Hip-hop can never die". But over time as all things change as will hip-hop. Is a son exactly like his father? They may be similer but not exactly the same. The same goes for Hip-hop. The hip-hop artest of to day can not be as the fathers of hip-hop were. Since the birth of hip-hop it has changed dramaticly, and Byron Hurt has done a grate job expressing that to his viewer amunxed other things.

The thing that i enjoyed most about Hurt's Documentary was how he broke hip-hop down into different parts. He showed the good and the bad. he showed the right and the wrong. But before all of that he stated that he is also a product of hip-hop and was bord in to it and raised up listning to it. He talked to a few of todays hip-hop artest and got their oppionion on a few things such as homosexuals in the hip-hop culture, young artest that are trying to make it to the industry. He got the view of what women think about how they are being portrayed in the the music, but one thing that i did not agree with that Hurt's did was that he did not focus on what the females were saying in the music. For example, some women anaylized the tip drill video but, they did not say anything about what the females in the song were saying.

Over all Byron Hurt's did an excelent job of expressing his view of hip-hop, and informing those who dont know what hip-hop is what it is. I thank him for bringing a new light to the blind fold that hip-hop has put on the people of america.
