Hip Hop The New World Order - The documentary takes us on a whirlwind adventure around the world exploring the impact of Hip Hop on global youth/pop culture highlighting Japan, Cuba, UK, France, London, Paris, Germany, Holland, Brazil, and South Africa. This groundbreaking piece takes a candid look to reveal how Hip Hop has transformed young lives around the world. Hip Hop heavyweights Chuck D, Method Man, Questlove (The Roots), and Dead Prez lend their insight and experience with Hip Hop across the waters...
A documentary by Muhammida Muhajir
Hip Hop: The New World Order gives a global perspective to the music and culture so often vilified in the media.
The gritty footage shot on digital video uncovers everything from Japanese hip hop fans who spend up to a thousand dollars to chemically transform their hair into dreadlocks, Cuban raperos spitting rhymes in Spanish with the exception of a few English curses and young South Africans who used hip hop as battle music during the final days of apartheid resistance.
Winner of the ‘Best Video’ award at the New York International Film Festival.
The film will be preceded by performances by Phayme

Going strong since 2001,
The Medgar Evers College Film & Culture Series, Founders Auditorium.
Bill Cosby challenged the audience to look at ourselves, because our ancestors worked too long and too hard. The characters of Kayhan Irani made us know their experience. Danny Glover spoke of the images we must create, M-1 spoke truth to power, Talib Kweli discussed the role of the artists, Buckshot got all the Brooklyn love. Flo Brown's rhymes repped Brick City, Abby Dobson hit melodic notes, Karen Gibson Rock's poeticmusic showed us beautiful places, Phyastarter and Oosagyefu's words, power and sounds took us to higher levels, while Harlem 125 had them cracking up.
These are just a few of the people that have graced and rocked the Founders Auditorium stage,
