YES, I DIG IT!!!
This is one of the most fascinating and creative ways to tell how Hip-Hop was born. I loved the way the story all came together in the end! Pete, this was so well done. I am really hoping you will be creating more series like these. It’s important that people know Hip-Hop is not all about gang banging and killing people. It’s about culture, family, love, and creating something so special that it actually still exists 50 years later.

I dig it!
This is so worth binging. The the storytelling, music, narration, interviews, all amazing. But the beauty in this piece is the light it shines on the fact that Hip Hop was born from a movement of peace. I expect this piece to win awards. Well done.

Give peace a chance.
The biggest ideas and revolutions are often based on the smallest decisions. One gang's choice to make peace and forgive created a culture of creativity and art instead of death and despair. As a kid, I loved early hip hop and rap, but had no idea where it truly came from. This podcast's deep research with help from the actual participants recreates the overall feeling of the place where it all started. From broad cultural and economic issues to small things like strong moms, the story of hip hop''s birth is worth your time. Please give it a listen!

This is an amazing historical document!!!
The history of the Bronx, New York and how it lead to the creation of the Culture of Hip Hop. I have never watched The Warriors movie, but this history is the obvious inspiration.

Time Capsule Treasure Trove 4 Any Hip Hop Lover
Driving in the desert by myself from Utah to Oakland, California for my first time—‘Can You Dig It?’ was exactly what I needed to get through. The music, scenes, knowledge, and voices all telling the story together allowed the drive 2 be thrilling and comforting at the same time.
Now I find myself going back.
And just when I think I know, there’s more. Thank you 4 giving this gift of culture education Hip Hop to us.
Check it out-if you love Hip Hop.
Peace.

Yes. I dug it!
Amazing listening experience. Really got to know the characters in a novel way that was truly unique and sets this podcast apart from the rest. Such a great story that needs to be heard. No peace. No Hip Hop.

Phenomenal work
Absolutely loved this series. Learned a ton and was brought to tears multiple times. Chuck D is amazing as the narrator, but the way they weave in interviews with re-enactments by voice actors was brilliant. Any fan of hip-hop or history should listen. Bravo!!!
