What Ever Happened to Hip Hop – Documentary (2009)
Documentary from Sonali Aggarwal: Starring Afrika Bambaataa, KRS-ONE, Busy Bee, Kool Keith, MC Lyte, Slick Rick, Jean Grae, Gemini and other notable people being part of the Hip Hop movement. It began with the beat of the drum. With the beat, came a voice for those without one. From this voice, came a movement. Overcoming the odds, the originators of Hip Hop took their music from block parties of New York City streets to world wide radio waves. During the early years, the music and message reached new heights by exploring humanity, politics, and street life, while keeping it real and having fun. But what ever happened to Hip Hop? Currently the most pervasive music worldwide, its roots have been forgotten, its message perverted. With Hip Hop in the spotlight, it’s time to put it back on track. This documentary presents views from Hip Hop founders, contributors, and artists in an attempt to return its audience to the four principles: Peace, Unity, Love & Having Fun
Too bad Africa Bambaataa was later revealed to b a pedophile and molester. He was not ordained a Zulu chief either he just changed his name after a Zulu chief named Bhambatha Good to see people calling TuPac out, even though he made good music, he was a wannabe mostly.. The media, record labels and money ruined the real HipHop.
Hip Hop was over for me by 85 … ( Late 70's – early 80's ) Sugar Hill and Tommy Boy era was the stuff I grew up on – once Run DMC and Def Jam arrived it was all down hill.
"No matter what the responsibility of the emcee is to teach lead organize and decend and degend his or her people" 3.r.d eye Aka james vivada me one of my hooks lol but yes i truly follow this even though im a dad husband mechanic etc. I still find time to write for my sons and my wife no excuses this is our responsibility u asked to speak fuckin rip the mic mad heads ive called out spit something im scared no no then u not an emcee i hate that im scared smh fear is are biggest demon u must tame then vanquish him
THis video should be renamed – HOW THE MASS MEDIA FUCKED OVER ALL MUSIC SINCE THE MID 90S! It't not just hip hop that's been restricted. THERE HASN"T BEEN A HARDCORE SONGWRITER LIKE KURT COBAIN SINCE THE EARLY 90s! I really appreciated the comments about white people being into PubliC Enemy, because THEY WERE and ARE!
This is very preachy and a bit hypocritical. They act like nobody was getting their dick sucked or obsessed with money and violence in the 80s and 90s.
There are evil forces that try to bootleg HiP HOP, for example t-shirts with hip Hop-Skateboard prints that ain't really real .. Or groups like Sting, Michael Jackson or Elton John. That ain't HiP HOP .
I think it's the people in charge fault. I see more rappers singing than rapping. I also hear too many trap beats. I feel the bigots in charge got scared how the positive rap was waking a lot of us up. Even some gangsta rappers like cube and too short and e 40 drop some knowledge. That scared these racist who control the business. Also they killed the culture of hip hop,breaking, graffiti, dj ing now they're trying to kill rap! Older heads understand the youngsters today mostly believe rap and hip hop is trap and drugs and hoochies
It never died in my opinion, i find quality in every decade of hip hop.
It became Gay-Hop

Gansta Rap, white corporations and appealing to white kids en masse at the expense of your own people is what happened. Snoop, Suge and Dre happened.

So many people are In denial , Hip-Hop Is dead , because the cultures dead. Without authentic Black culture you have no Hip-Hop.
Popularity means nothing. Too many sold out for money and White validation. The music Is Whitewashed and the message Is lost.
I won't even listen to any styles or artists after the 90's , and mostly from the early – mid 90's at that. Mainstream wise It's over.
This is very preachy and a bit hypocritical. They act like nobody was getting their dick sucked or obsessed with money and violence in the 80s and 90s.
I have a question what is the name of beat that is playing at @9:08 that beat is fire.
There are evil forces that try to bootleg HiP HOP, for example t-shirts with hip Hop-Skateboard prints that ain't really real .. Or groups like Sting, Michael Jackson or Elton John. That ain't HiP HOP .
