  • 72 - Dope (2015) is a gift for the '90s Hip Hop head

    If you're of a certain age (a.k.a. GROWN), then Rick Famuyiwa's 2015 film Dope is definitely for you. And even if you're on the younger tip, this is a great homage to what we consider the Golden Age of Hip Hop music and culture.

  • 71 - Rebel without a Pause: Chuck D at Northampton Community College

    Today on the show we have Andrew McIntosh (a.k.a. DJ ARM 18) and DJ Cap Cee to tell us what it was like to bring the legendary Chuck D of Public Enemy to Northampton Community College last month. Chuck D spoke for more than two hours and fielded questions from students at NCC's annual Humanities Lecture, organized by Andrew. Your HHMCs were able to meet and greet Chuck D before and after the talk, which was a thrill!

  • 69 - Set It Off is a groundbreaking film. Here's why.

    Today on Hip Hop Movie Club: Set It Off, the 1996 heist movie starring Queen Latifah, Vivica A. Fox, Jada Pinkett, and Kimberly Elise that was groundbreaking – in more ways than one!

    Topics discussed:

    This is Queen Latifah's first lead role, and one of the best performances of a rapper turned actor 👑 This film is also an ode to Black women friendship and sisterhood, with strong performances from the four leads to match 👩🏾 We see an early instance of an LGBTQ relationship in a major motion picture, and it's handled well without making it a clumsy plot point 🏳️‍🌈The soundtrack is hip hop heavy and important to the heist sequences 🎤Some of the themes (police brutality, racism, sexism, systemic oppression) are sadly still relevant, which gives the film a poignant quality 😓
