Conceived as a "loving critique" of a number of disturbing trends in the world of rap music, Beyond Beats and Rhymes provides a riveting examination of manhood, sexism, and homophobia in hop-hop culture. The documentary features revealing interviews about masculinity and sexism with rappers such as Mos Def, Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes, and others. Critically acclaimed for its fearless engagement with issues of race, gender, violence, and the exploitation of youth culture.
