XM’s The Rhyme (ch 65) is premiering the special "Hip-Hop… At The Crossroads" tonight (May 24th) at 6pm ET.
The show will feature a diverse panel of hip-hop industry artists, producers and activists - with legends like Doug E. Fresh, Russell Simmons, Talib Kweli, MC Lyte, producer Chucky Thompson - as well as the Hip-Hop Summit Action Network’s Dr. Benjamin Chavis among others.
Together they'll discuss and examine the music of hip hop in connection with the recent news headlines, and its evolution from the streets to the mainstream.
The discussion is hosted by XM’s Leo G., program director of The Rhyme and RAW (ch 66), and VH1’s Janell Snowden.

Hip hop today is an incredible force upon American youth and even beyond on a global level. Hip hop and rap has created entirely new industries such as the hip hop jewelry genre, have upgraded the look of the common drinking cup to the majestic looking pimp cups, has virtually created a new and expanding language, and have even affected the automotive industry with such bold customizations as large spinning bling bling wheels and transformed fashion and clothing in an unprecedented way and so much more. Hip hop is no doubt way more influential and powerful than rock and roll.
