Ecstatic, angry, elusive, boastful -- the word can take many forms. In New York City, where hip hop was born nearly 30 years ago, recent immigrant groups are creating new hip-hop forms, composing lyrics and rapping in their own languages. In the end, it is the Word itself that is being transformed. Listen in as Dorian Merina reports.
