"Hip-Hop: Beyond Beats and Rhymes" is a riveting documentary that examines representations of gender roles in hip-hop and rap music.
MAV hosted a very successful screening of Beyond Beats and Ryhmes by: Byron Hurt in the Lycieum (in the UNT Student Union) on March 28, 2007 at 7pm. After the film, there was a discussion group where everyone was able to voice their comments and reactions.
