    Yeah, there were some pretty interesting theories put out there in the show.
    A pretty good watch if your interested in this kind of thing.

    There is one particuliarly touching moment with some White Kid in an SUV listening to Fabulous and getting interviewed about why he likes rap. It is pretty

    that guy looked very uncomfortable. he had a nervious grin and was shaking his head "no" with everything he said.

    I thought it was a good program. I liked how the host looked into himself as much as he placed blame. The theorys he put out there we're intresting but I don't think any of them are new.

    i caught about five minutes of this, and it was completely unwatchable... the little bit i saw seemed like a slam on hip hop by severely disconnected people who will never get it, not a journalistic effort at all... they said something about rap music being anti-gay "since its roots", and then played a clip of snoop saying "faggot"... if you can't do enough research to know that snoop isn't exactly the "roots" of hip hop, i can't be bothered to watch your smear campaign/pandering to old, racist christians (who are probably equally anti-gay)
