LL Cool J Takes a Trip Through NYC Rap History in New ‘Hip-Hop Was Born Here' Trailer
LL Cool J digs into how New York City shaped the creation and evolution of rap in the new trailer for the upcoming docuseries, Hip-Hop Was Born Here. The five-part series will offer a kind of historical and musical tour of the five boroughs as LL Cool J visits the neighborhoods and meets with the MCs and producers who were instrumental to hip-hop's rise. A plethora of hip-hop luminaries will feature on the show, including Big Daddy Kane, Grandmaster Caz, Jadakiss, Method Man, Rev Run, Roxanne Shante, Salt of Salt-N-Pepa, and Marley Mal. More from Rolling Stone Lil Wayne Fleetingly Reminds Us Why He's One of the Best Rock the Bells Festival Is Back With a Class of 2025 Edition Lainey Wilson to Co-Host 2024 CMA Awards With Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning The new trailer for Hip-Hop Was Born Here fittingly begins at the actual birthplace of hip-hop, with LL Cool J making a pilgrimage to the Bronx park where DJ Kool Herc set up his equipment and threw his first parties. It goes on to feature Rev. Run recalling the block parties in his Hollis, Queens neighborhood; Jadakiss speaking about how hip-hop became an outlet after NYC public schools cut music education programs; and Roxanne Shante succinctly defining her legacy: 'I gave birth to most of them MCs.' And while the rest of the clip teases other NYC-centric stories, the doc will also explore how hip-hop ultimately went global. 'Who would ever think that we could be world famous doing something that we love?' Method Man wonders at the end of the trailer. 'I would've never imagined that.' Hip-Hop Was Born Here is set to premiere on July 22 on Paramount+. LL Cool J executive produced and co-created the series with Peyton Manning (yes, that Peyton Manning). For LL, the new docuseries comes on the heels of a busy 2024 for the rapper, during which he released his first album in over a decade, The Force.

Paramount+ deal: Get two months of Essential or Premium for only $2
Another hot streaming deal has arrived to match the summer heat. This time it comes from Paramount+, which is offering a two-month subscription for only $2. Put another way, you'll pay $1 per month for your first two months. But the kicker for this deal is that is applies to two subscription tiers: you can either choose the ad-supported Essential plan or the ad-free Premium plan and the deal price remains the same. That means new subscribers will save $14 on the standard price of the Essential tier, or $24 on the price of the Premium plan. This deal also works for the Essential plan. $2 at Paramount Paramount+ is a decent service and made our list of the best streaming platforms. It started as a home for all things Star Trek, but that particular bonus is shrinking all of the time. It was recently announced that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds will end after a truncated season five, leaving just the forthcoming Starfleet Academy . The third season of Strange New Worlds premieres on July 17. It also hosts original programming like the Sonic-adjacent Knuckles TV show and the dad-friendly Tulsa King . Paramount owns CBS, so subscribers can also access much of that network's programming. This includes stuff like The Amazing Rac e, Blue Bloods and several CSI entries. This offer will be available until July 13. There's just one caveat. Subscriptions will auto-renew if you forget to cancel. Set a reminder to kick in at the end of the second month. Check out our coverage of the best streaming deals for more discounts, and follow @EngadgetDeals on X for the latest tech deals and buying advice.
