The Billboard charts are topped by hip-hop hits, and even blockbuster movies are cast with the hip-hop heroes of the day. But beyond the glamour and the glitz, what is hip-hop really about? Where did it originate? Who were its founders? What does it take to master its many forms of expression? 3rd Street Beat is your one-stop shop to learn all the top hip hop moves and sayings and put them into practice in a live performance setting.
