On Tuesday, February 23, 2010 at 7:30 P.M., the documentary by Byron Hurt, Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats & Rhymes will be shown @The Ground Level Coffeehouse.
This profound documentary explores the current state of hip-hop and the impact that it has on our culture, society, and youth. It addresses misogyny, violence, and the exploitation of women in music videos. It includes interviews with, among others, Mos Def, Chuck D, Michael Eric Dyson, and Russell Simmons.
It will be followed by a panel/audiance discussion. The panel will include Kamaron Kyser of Thosefellows, LLC, poets Naki Akrobettoe and Edward McDanial, Lance Ellis, and local dj Martini of The Juice, 107.3. This event will be both informative and educational for youth and adults.
