“Rob Markman grew up at a time when people thought hip hop was a fad. “I remember being in school and teachers telling me, ‘You’re wasting your time listening to hip hop,’” he recalls. Regardless of detractors, his passion for the culture never faded. He spent his time watching Video Music Box and reading The Source, and now hip-hop is the core element of his career. In our video, Markman talks about his experience working with rap music everyday at MTV and, like The Tanning of America also explores, what it means when hip-hop goes so far as to even influence the presidential election.” – Ernest Baker (VH1)
