Crank Lucas; Rap music's Biggest Lie: Why We Always Blame the New Generation (Is hip-hop really getting worse, or does every generation just believe their era was the best?)

Is hip-hop really getting worse, or does every generation just believe their era was the best?

From Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, and KRS-One to Lil Wayne, Future, Young Thug, and Lil Uzi Vert, every generation has its own definition of REAL hip-hop. But this argument didn't start with rap music.

In this documentary, Crank Lucas explores the history of generational conflict in music, from New Orleans jazz and the birth of hip-hop in the Bronx to sampling, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Southern rap, and today's hip-hop culture.

We also examine William Strauss and Neil Howe's Fourth Turning theory, musical nostalgia, streaming technology, and why every generation eventually becomes the old heads they once criticized.

Featuring hip-hop history, cultural commentary, comedy, and original Crank Lucas skits.
