Yo if you have Direct TV and got the Smithsonian channel and is a hip-hop head and love hip-hop, this is a great documentary... it's showing this week, i just DVR'd it and now watching it. If not check your local cable company and listings

It's about hip-hop and how powerful the artform is and how it's spreading and making a change universally. It goes from NY to France, Germany, Middle East..... How hip-hop changed France and the racism on the blacks, how a black german was killed and how hip-hop united a blacks how young arabs and white germans using hip-hop.

It shows how hip-hop overseas is keeping the culture in it's purest form and using hip-hop as a weapon of change. They interview hiphop artist from europe, they have Grandmaster Caz, Busy Bee, Dead Prez,D-Nice.

And it's sad how the Powers to be knew how powerful hip-hop is in the United States and with 20 years of systematically attack on hip-hop they made it what you see on tv and hear on radio.

This documentary let me appreciate what they doing overseas and even appreciate hip-hop more, If you want to See how powerful hip-hop is watch this documentary.

    It's comes on the Smithsonian channel , it's a free channel. Go to search in type in Hip-hop the Furious force of Rhymes and it tells you the time and channel number, and you wont be disappointed, these cats in other countries use hip-hop in which hip-hop was meant to be and shows you how powerful hip-hop culture is.
