PBS is exploring the origins of Hip-Hop in a new documentary, “Fight the Power: How Hip-Hop Changed The World.” The four-part series was developed by Public Enemy’s Chuck D and his producing partner, Lorrie Boula.
“The Hip Hop community has, from the start, been doing what the rest of media is only now catching up to,” states Chuck D. “Long before any conglomerate realized it was time to wake up, Hip Hop had been speaking out and telling truths.”
Look for appearances by Grandmaster Caz, Ice-T, Abiodun Oyewole, Roxanne Shanté, Run DMC, John Forté, will.i.am, MC Lyte, B-Real, Melle Mel, Fat Joe, Lupe Fiasco, and more. “Fight the Power: How Hip Hop Changed the World” will premiere on January 31st on PBS, PBS.org, and the PBS Video app.
