Journeys in Black: Russell Simmons

Visionary entrepreneur Russell Simmons is largely credited with helping to bring hip-hop from its roots in the world of DJs, MC, graffiti, and breakdancing on the New York underground to a whole new level that would allow it to be both a major cultural force and a lucrative industry. Along the way, Simmons himself made his fortune by creating business and entertainment entities Def Jam Records, Def Comedy Jam, Def Poetry Jam, and Phat Pharm clothing. This edition of BET's JOURNEYS IN BLACK allows him to share his insightful opinions on hip-hop, fashion, and business.
