The Hip Hop Nutcracker (2022 TV Special)
10/10
Tchaikovsky is spinning in his grave...

Records that is! The best mashup of hip-hop and the holidays since 'Christmas in Hollis'. Further proof that music is transcendent across race, styles, beliefs and time. Even if you're not a fan of hip-hop you'll enjoy this. The music blends perfectly. The choreography is amazing. I'd never in my life thought I'd ever see ballet and hip-hop mix.

In these uncertain times it gave us a hopeful message for the future.

Seeing Mikhail Baryshnikov only added to the wonder of this story.

I shed tears of joy hearing Kurtis Blow. For those of you not versed in hip-hop history, before he was in Run-DMC, Rev Run (back then known as DJ Run) used to open for Kurtis Blow while in Jr High.

My only critique is that Daryl (DMC) McDaniels was not in this, otherwise it was brilliant.

Whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year, enjoy!
