You never thought hip hop would take it this far. We're going back in time to witness the birth of hip hop. We'll see how it was created in the Bronx, and how it evolved going into the 1980s.

Then, we'll see how it grew into a dominant art form and became the most profitable music genre. I also look at three of the most successful rappers, how they took what they earned in something that started as a hobby in the 80s--and turned it into an empire. (you can probably picture which three I'm talking about).

This one is part music; part history; part business; and a whole lotta funk.
