Quickly rising to the top of the underground hip-hop scene, John’s Doe Main has become a premier documentary program for audiences. With its signature gritty cinematography and exclusive interviews, John’s Doe Main, created and directed by critically acclaimed filmmaker John Doe, focuses on all the elements of Hip-Hop by returning the culture to its origins of social commentary. Along the way John’s Doe Main has discussed the issues orbiting hip-hop and the world with a variety of guests that have included Lil Wayne, Grammy award winning – Wyclef Jean, Lil Scrappy, Whodini, Murphy Lee, Ghostface, Rakim, Obie Trice, Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, Immortal Technique, Juvenile, Freeway and more. Doe, of Louisville, Kentucky, began his hip-hop career in 1989 as a break dancer and rapper, but as he the culture expanded he fell in love with hip-hop’s journalism. Aspiring to interview, direct, produce and write new programming for a new generation of viewers and listeners, Barbour committed himself to film making. With a resume, that features video direction and production for artist such as Wreck D. Mic, Father Jah, Lil Ashley, Gangsta Yush, and more; Doe’s talents have not stopped there. In 2005, after starring in the underground classic “Life in the Street”, Doe launched a documentary series – Doemania. With the trilogy completed, he then released Hip Hop: Dead or Alive to a national audience that gained critical acclaim with its in-depth critique on the state of the industry and culture. When asked, “John Doe” described his style as “Dick Clark meets Fab Five Freddy meets Tavis Smiley meets Don Cornelius. I want to do quality products that will affect the world of entertainment, socially and politically, like Bob Marley,” says Doe. At the rate that he is going, John’s Doe Main is certainly on its way.
