| Summary |
Hip-hop music was born during block parties in the Bronx, NY during the 1970's. Thanks to innovators like LL Cool J, Run DMC, Dr. Dre, & Kanye West, hip hop has exploded into mainstream culture. Hip hop today, however, doesn't just mean music. The term today represents a culture, a history, and way of life. To better understand what it takes to compete in this world, Andrew Jenks will go behind the bling to experience the real life of a hip hop superstar. When Andrew meets Maino, he'll walk side by side with one of Brooklyn's toughest rap stars. He'll learn what it's like to work and party with Maino, and whether he can really hang as a member of his crew. (From the US) (Documentary Series) PG **Series Return** |
