PORN WITH ATTITUDE

DIGIGUIDE

First programme in the four-part Hip Hop Nights series, screening on consecutive nights, looking at the world's biggest selling musical genre. Over the last five years, two of America's most lucrative and controversial entertainment industries - hip hop and porn - have combined to produce a shocking new offspring: hip hop porn. It's the fastest-growing genre in the adult entertainment market, and its leading exponents are some of the biggest household names of the music world, who regularly sell millions of records to teenage audiences: artists like 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg and Ice-T. When Snoop Dogg teamed up with legendary porn distributor Larry Flynt's Hustler, hip hop porn went into orbit. Snoop's Doggystyle became the highest-selling adult movie ever, selling 150,000 copies worldwide and becoming the first hardcore film ever to be listed in the mainstream video chart. This is the story of how hip hop graduated into hardcore porn. With contributions from Ice-T, NWA's DJ Yella, 2 Live Crew's Luther Campbell and porn star Ron Jeremy.
