"More than any other art form, hip-hop reflected and documented the crack epidemic. The chaos and madness of the crack phenomenon was fused with the sound and style of hip-hop during its formative years."
For all my hip-hop fans or those interested in learning more about the hip hop culture, check out the trailer for the VH1 original documentary Planet Rock: The Story of Hip Hop and the Crack Generation.
Get More: VH1 Rock Docs, Episode Sneak Peeks
Planet Rock: The Story of Hip Hop and the Crack Generation, is the newest installment in the Emmy Award winning VH1 Rock Doc franchise. The VH1 Rock Doc Soul Train: The Hippest Trip in America was recently nominated in the Outstanding Arts & Culture Programming category for this year’s News & Documentary Emmy Award. VH1 Rock Docs are feature-length documentaries that tell unique stories of artists and music from a wide range of genres, styles and musical perspectives.
The 2-hour doc was executive produced and will be narrated by rap icon Ice-T and air on September 18th at 10 PM EST/PST of course on VH1. The film will feature interviews from folks like Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill’s B-Real, and the Wu-Tang Clan’s RZA and Raekwon.
I was always and still a fan of the movie New Jack City, and this documentary seems to be giving us a bird's eye view of this life and culture. It's definitely got my attention!!
