Today VH1 ran a program called "And You Don't Stop: 30 Years of Hip Hop"
It was a five-parter and I believe it went on all day long.
I must say, despite some of the razzing I've seen online, I actually learned something about the history of hip-hop. I always wondered about it but kind of never knew where to look. I think if you're not terribly keen on the music but would like to know more about its history, this series is really a great start. Especially the first few episodes where they really get into how scratching and mc'ing and sampling got started. It's an amazing evolution and it deserves respect at the very least.
Spencer could have cared less. Maybe I should try to learn how to beatbox.
