Legendary producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis dig through the crates at Minneapolis's Electric Fetus record store, unpacking the details behind decades of hits. They break down the sequencing genius of Rhythm Nation 1814, the sample collision behind "New Agenda," how Chuck D helped pick "That's the Way Love Goes" as a single, the night they got fired by Prince. They found their first big hit, and the unforgettable session recording "Scream" with Michael Jackson. It's a rare look at "informed listening" — hearing the ingredients inside songs you thought you already knew by heart.
