Exploding the myth that Hip-Hop is merely 'rap music,' "5 Sides of a Coin" is an overview of the worldwide phenomenon of Hip-Hop. Today Hip-Hop is a multi-billion dollar industry and a socially relevant culture. "5 Sides of a Coin" features exclusive interviews and footage of Hip-Hop's pioneers, insiders, critics and fans, including Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, Jazzy Jay, Gil Scott-Heron, RunDMC, Jurassic 5, De La Soul, Dilated Peoples, Beat Junkies, Q-Bert, Mix Master Mike, The Pharcyde, DJ Spooky, The Stereo MC's and many, many more Hip-Hop artists interviewed around the world. Their voices define the culture in their own words: the good, the bad and the flossy. Embraced by a diverse cross-section of youth, Hip-Hop is a powerful force, one that transcends its commercial trappings and controversies, that stands alone as the number one youth movement in the world.

Meet the soul singer who struggled for years before leaving the music business in the 1980s only to become one of the most sampled artists in hip hop.

Directed by Garret Price (HBO's Music Box: Woodstock 99: Peace, Love, and Rage) and executive produced by Bill Simmons (HBO's Andre the Giant), this latest installment of the Music Box anthology series celebrates the breezy subgenre of West Coast soft rock, epitomized by such musical artists as Christopher Cross, Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins, Steely Dan, and Toto. Retroactively dubbed "Yacht Rock" in 2005 by a parody web series, the easy listening, relaxing sounds of the late 1970s and early 1980s came to be mocked by rock lovers and critics but have since reclaimed a legitimate place in music history. Filled with sounds of the era, incredible archival footage of recording sessions and performances, and humorous self-reflective interviews, Music Box: Yacht Rock: A DOCKumentary celebrates the key players of the scene and the genre they didn't even know they were creating.
