How Hip Hop Made the World: Dr. Todd Boyd on the Cultural Foundations and Global Impact of Hip Hop

In this episode of "Hip Hop Can Save America," host Manny Faces converses with renowned cultural critic and author Dr. Todd Boyd aka The Notorious P.H.D. about the dynamic history and significant impact of hip hop culture.

Dr. Boyd, whose latest book "Rapper's Deluxe: How Hip Hop Made the World" sheds light on Hip Hop's 50-year journey, discusses the genre's origins in the urban decay of 1970s New York, influenced by blaxploitation films, Richard Pryor's comedy, and the distinctive styles of returning Vietnam veterans -- and takes us through the next few decades as the genre and culture go on to reach global influence.
