The month of November has been established as Hip Hop History Month!
Almost since the birth of hip-hop, there have been cameras around to try and capture the art and culture. This month we celebrate hip-hop and hip hop cinema! Join us as we view the most important films in hip-hop! If you can make it out to one of the many screenings around the country this month, you can see some history first hand! If you can’t make it, go to UrbanFilmClub.com and find many hip-hop classics on DVD!
