On October 4th, VH1 will premiere a five-part documentary series on the history of hip-hop titled "And You Don't Stop: 30 Years of Hip Hop."
Executive Produced by Russell Simmons, "And You Don't Stop..." traces the history of this art form. The five-part documentary concludes with the new moguls who have come to define "bling bling."
"You can't overstate hip hop's effect on American youth," comments executive-producer Russell Simmons. "There's a lot of young people from Beverly Hills, the projects, the trailer parks, who've grown up on hip hop and have understood the struggle directly, or listened to hip-hop their whole lives and become sensitized to the plight of those poor people. So that's why everybody relates to it so well."
"And You Don't Stop: 30 Years of Hip Hop" features exclusive new interviews with OutKast, Eminem, Snoop Dogg, Reverend Run, Nas, Lyor Cohen, the Neptunes, the Roots, Mary J. Blige, MC Lyte and others.
