RAP THIS! is a television series highlighting the birth of rap music and how in the half century since its inception, in the early 70's, it changed the face of politics, fashion, music and race relations. Rap as an art form, new musical technique, using the spoken word against musical beats, was not only music but was the vehicle with which to tell a story, create a call to action, or represent (through rap & hip hop) the lives of those whose stories were never told about or previously heard in song/music. These riveting and absorbing stories of influence, confluence, struggle and power will be told through the lens of some of the greatest hip hop/rap artists of all time.
