The hard-scrabble world of rap and hip-hop may boast a stream of superstar female acts now, but it wasn't always that way. And in some sense, it's still a closed and difficult universe for women. Join Missy Elliott, Eve, MC Lyte, DJ Quik, Karl Kani, KRS-One, Miss Jade and Spinderella on a fascinating trip into the heart of the business. This unflinching documentary includes interviews, concert footage and a peek behind the scenes.
