BET Networks will debut its first ever original music documentary when My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women and Hip-Hop, premieres later this month.

The documentary, which was directed by Ava DuVernay centered around the impact women have had on the genre of Hip-Hop, since its inception in the early 1970′s.

Mc Lyte, Yo Yo, Rah Digga, Eve, Missy Elliot, Trina, Jermaine Dupri, Russell Simmons, Kevin Liles, ?uestlove, and a variety of rappers, executives and journalists are featured in My Mic Sounds Nice.

“This is a story that could not be told by one voice. It required a chorus. And although this story is comprehensive, it is still likely one of many truths about the role of women in hip-hop” Stephen Hill, President of Music Programming and Specials, told AllHipHop.

In related news, Mike Epps has been tapped to host the fifth annual BET Hip-Hop Awards, when the show returns October 16th.

My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women and Hip-Hop will air August 30th at 10:00 PM EST.

When hip hop first began experts said it would be a temporary underground fad that will go away; similiar to hairstyles, but 30 years later it is on TV, Dominates the radio airwaves, and is shared by all races on each continent.

You can say all that bout hip hop, but it is actually being used as a tool to destroy black first then hispanics second, either the message is bling bling or how to get a girls and you what happens when you get a girl Aids Hiv and all that. Lil wayne and drake are the biggest sellers of that propaganda. Way to go take over our kids spirit & brians.
