Hip-hop Evolution
9pm, Sky Arts
On Netflix, hip-hop fans will have already enjoyed The Defiant Ones, a fast and fun doc focusing on the glamorous lives and great talents of Dr Dre and Jimmy Iovine. Imagine that, but shot in the style of a course module instructional presented by Shad, AKA Canada’s nicest MC, and you’ve got this. It’s valuable for its procedural interviews; Grandmaster Flash on creating the “break” is particularly great. Stay tuned for a very literal demonstration of hip-hop’s evolution as Sky Arts profiles the UK grime scene in Generation Grime. John Robinson
