And You Don’t Stop: 30 Years of Hip Hop — Back in the Day

NEW DOCS

Let’s take a trip down memory lane. With gritty archival footage and a pulsating, nostalgic soundtrack, And You Don’t Stop— the first part in a series devoted to hip-hop—drops the viewer off in New York City’s South Bronx in 1980, after Reagan has just taken office, and just as this new musical form and its larger cultural landscape develops into an international commercial success. In this unforgettable homage, some of hip-hop’s early founders join up with its contemporary super-stars to narrate the story of its earliest beginnings.  JJ
