- All time classics
Style
Wars DVD $39.95 Some
call it tagging, some call it writing, still others call it bombing--it's
all graffiti. Whether it's art or not is another matter, but it's undeniably
illegal. Tony Silver and Henry Chalfant's historic PBS documentary Style
Wars tracks the rise and fall of subway graffiti in New York in the late
1970s and early 1980s. At the peak of its popularity, graffiti was as
much a part of B-boy culture as rapping, scratching, and breaking. The
filmmakers present a sympathetic, but well-rounded portrait of their subject
through extensive interviews with taggers--notably Seen, Kase, and Dondi--art
collectors, transit authorities, and even Mayor Ed Koch, who would eventually
put the hammer down. Along the way, they documented the burgeoning breakdance
scene, with a focus on the world-famous Rock Steady Crew. The soundtrack
features selections from Grandmaster Flash, the Treacherous Three, and
other tagger-approved icons of old-school hip-hop.
Deep
Crates 2 DVD $54.95
Anyone
who's interested in producing needs to see this DVD series. Volume 2 continues
where Volume 1 left off, this time featuring the most legendary producers
of all time. Join Pete Rock, Marley Marl, 45 King, Ced Gee, Grand Wizard
Theodore, Jake One, J-Zone, 88 Keys, Marco Polo and more as they show
all the tips and tricks of beatmaking.
Wild
Style DVD - $39.95 Wild
Style was created by independent New York filmmaker Charlie Ahearn with
the help of Fred Braithwaite (aka Fab Five Freddy). The first movie to
depict the elements of hip hop, it became an underground hit. It featured
well-known graffiti writers Lee and Lady Pink as "Zoro" and
"Ladybug", and included performances by Grandmaster Flash (in
his own kitchen!), Grand Wizard Theodore, Busy Bee Starski, The Cold Crush
Brothers, and b-boy champions the Rock Steady Crew. Lee admits, "It
didn't really have a script, but we didn't have a script in real life.
The film didn't call for acting because we were being ourselves. There's
no Hollywood thing about it" (from the excellent book Yes Yes Ya'll,
2002). This lack of a "Hollywood thing" is precisely what made
Wild Style so popular among the people who lived hip hop. Writers were
played by writers, DJs were played by DJs, and the breakers were real
b-boys.
Fab 5 Freddy wanted the film to tie together the elements of hip hop,
and show the rest of the nation that graffiti, breaking, and DJing and
MCing came out of the same place, and often the same people. The result
is the most accurate depiction of hip hop in film. Lingering shots of
boarded up buildings, junk yards, and filthy subway stops portrayed the
Bronx for what it was. Zoro tries to balance street credibility with commissions
to do pieces on canvas from wealthy art collectors. He is a young man
trying to find his place in a difficult world. Blondie's Chris Stein describes
it, "Wild Style was just so ahead of its time. I remember telling
Charlie Ahearn, `As soon as this thing comes out, mark my words, Hollywood
will eat it.'
Beat
Street DVD - $39.95
A
fascinating snapshot of musical history, Beat Street is an urban musical
detailing the roots of hip-hop. Set in early-1980s New York, the film
focuses on the lives of a small group of young people setting their experiences
against the larger backdrop of the city's burgeoning music scene. The
story of up-and-coming DJ Kenny (Guy Davis) and his relationship with
jazz musician Tracy (Rae Dawn Chong) may only be a device, but it's surprisingly
effective, as is the ultimately tragic tale of graffiti artist Ramon (Jon
Chardiet). The movie's real raison d'être, however, is to showcase
the sounds of the street, so it's full of some of hip-hop's most influential
names--Melle Mel, Doug E Fresh, Kool Moe Dee, the Rocksteady Crew, Jazzy
Jeff, and Arthur Baker. The combination of electro and rapping may sound
a little raw to modern ears, but there can be no doubt that Beat Street
is the sight and sound of history being made.
