A decade ago, MdFF featured a beloved film about Grammy Award winning producer Patrick Douhit aka 9th Wonder's tenure at Harvard University, and those who caught the doc have been raving about it ever since. As Harvard’s first Nasir Jones Hip Hop Fellow, Douhit indulges academics and hip hop heads old and new in the extensive history of hip hop, sampling, and crate digging via his class “The Standards of Hip Hop.” The film centers on the emerging significance of incorporating hip-hop studies into the academy and spotlights the scholars and musicians at the forefront of preserving 40 (and now 50!) years of hip-hop culture.
