The '90s: We Invented This

Storyline

Hosts Ed Lover and Kim Porter revisits the 1990s, a decade in Hip-Hop known as the "Golden Age of Hip-Hop." It was a period which saw an urban youth generation (Generation X) release groundbreaking Hip-Hop albums, Neo-soul albums, and Contemporary R&B albums. This era of Hip-Hop also redefined urban fashion, slang, black culture and America. Hip-Hop legends Biz Markie, Too $hort, and Faith Evans provides firsthand accounts of the albums, music videos, urban fashion labels, and recording labels that elevated Hip-Hop into a culturally rich and phenomenal era, and left an impact that has endured, influenced, and remained relevant in today's society.
