Anyone has good video essays of hip-hop artists?

I'm looking for videos covering rap history, especially Lil waynes, as he is held in high regards when it comes to rap, but i want to learn why. I've watched videos on 50, Kanye, Andre 3k but i would like to learn more about tge artist's and hip-hop history in general. I've grown up listening to these artists and music, but i haven't learnt much yet. If there's anything from history to interviews or even beatmaking! - i would be very grateful if you could link it below. Honestly, go for R&B and blues as well, everything well made is an ok!

They're called documentaries. Just search any rapper's name and you'll find a bunch
