Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World
Channel: S3
TX Time: 22h00
Genre: Documentary Series, Music
Chuck D of Public Enemy explores Hip Hop's political awakening over the last 50 years.
With a host of rap stars and cultural commentators he tracks Hip Hop's socially-conscious roots.
From The Message to Fight The Power 2020, he examines how Hip Hop has become "the Black CNN."
The series, developed by Chuck D and his manager Lorrie Boula, rewinds to the birth of hip hop and traces its role in the story of America from the past 40 years, right up to the present day.
Chuck D - artist, activist and co-founder of Public Enemy and Prophets of Rage - will also feature in the production.
Featuring first-hand accounts from some of rap's most integral players, the series deconstructs the origins of this bold and revolutionary art form through the voices of those who were there at the start, creating an anthology of how it became a cultural phenomenon against the backdrop of American history.
Weaving together interconnected moments via intimate interviews and archival footage, this series explores how hip hop - from the beginning a provocative and sometimes controversial cultural force, even within the Black community - has been instrumental in giving voice and mobility to marginalised communities, helping confront social issues and driving change.
In the series premiere, "The Foundation": Chuck D leads a cast of hip hop icons and leading African-American and Latino cultural commentators as they chart the factors that led to the birth of the revolutionary art form of hip hop in 1970s New York, as well as the creation of the seminal hit The Message.
They evoke a picture of how, after the turbulence of the 60s and the civil rights struggles, desperate social conditions and the experience of countless dispossessed people of colour living in a city mired in crisis helped give birth to a new art form.
