I missed the Pilot last year, but will try to see it. I was a big fan of 1990's Hip Hop music during the 90's when I went to college. I'd like to see how they portray it in this show.
VH1 today announced the network's highly anticipated new scripted series "The Breaks" will premiere on Monday, February 20th at 9PM ET/PT. The original film, which aired last year on VH1, followed three young friends fulfilling their hip hop dreams in New York City in 1990.

Strauss ("Mozart in the Jungle").

I'd guess it'll be harder to do it worse than Netflix's The Get Down, but we'll see. I never saw the original movie.
I wish VH-1 would just re-air the movie, even if way off hours. Surely there's room in the schedule somewhere. It wouldn't have mattered to me when it aired as I'd just DVR it anyway (as I'll do the series).
