This event is sponsored by the Scripps College Humanities Institute, The Elizabeth Hubert Malott Commons, the Scripps Dean of Students Office, and the Scripps Core Humanities Program. For more information, please contact the Humanities Institute at (909) 621-8326.

The documentary, Beyond Beats and Rhymes: A Hip-Hop Head Weighs in on Manhood in Rap Music examines the representations of manhood, sexism, and homophobia in rap music and hip-hop culture. A 2006 Sundance Film Festival selection, Beyond Beats and Rhymes features interviews with musicians Mos Def, Fat Joe, Chuck D, Jadakiss, and Busta Rhymes along with cultural commentary from Michael Eric Dyson, Beverly Guy-Sheftall, Kevin Powell, and Sarah Jones. PBS will feature the documentary on its Emmy award-winning series, Independent Lens.

The film’s producer and director, Byron Hurt, is a long-time gender violence prevention educator. He was one of the original members of the Mentors in Violence Prevention (MVP) Program, the leading gender violence prevention initiative in college and professional athletics. He is also the former associate director of a United States Marine Corps domestic violence prevention program.
