Netflix 4-episode doc series that premieres August 9

This timely limited doc series recontextualizes the role the irrepressible women of hip hop played throughout the revolutionary genre’s 50 years by reinserting them into the canon where they belong: at the center, from day one to present day.

Sounds good.  I recently watched the PBS documentary series Fight the Power: How Hip-Hop Changed the World, and one of the episodes included a segment on the emergence of female stars in the '90s.  Four episodes all about the women is right up my alley.

This was so fantastic! So glad someone finally told this story. It did change the way I feel about the Bridge is Over. I don't think I'll be singing along with that song with the same enthusiasm anymore.
