Byron Hurt and Tim'm West @ Duke
Beyond Beats and Rhymes (Tuesday, November 7 2006 )
WUNC--The State of Things
One could easily argue that hip-hop's aggressive lyrics and bass-filled beats make it the music of machismo, but filmmaker Byron Hurt portrays a different view of masculinity and rap culture in his documentary, "Beyond Beats and Rhymes." Hurt explores gender roles in mainstream music with host Frank Stasio, Tracy Sharpley-Whiting, the director of African and Diaspora Studies at Vanderbilt University, North Carolina Central University Assistant Director for Continuing Education Brett Chambers and Mark Anthony Neal, associate professor of Black Popular Culture at Duke University.
