John Legend is speaking out about hip-hop's lack of representation on TV talent shows.In a candid conversation with season 1 champion D Smoke, the singer explains why the Netflix competition series is unlike any other on TV.«I had been looking around at all these other talent shows and competitions and hip-hop did not have a talent show, a competition show, that really showed off how vibrant hip-hop culture is. And I have a production company that's all about doing projects that are interesting, that are provocative, that are fresh, and that particularly shine a light on Black culture,» says Legend, who serves as the show's executive producer.
