L H. Takes Hip Hop back to its origin in the Bronx, guided by LL Cool J. He speaks to Hip Hop royalty who were there from the very beginning, to those who we know today. He shows us the path that Hip Hop took from parks in the Bronx to sold out stadiums around the world. All told by those who were there. Loved it!
