Style Wars

For those of you who have never heard of Style Wars, it is a documentary which was filmed in the early 80's capturing the roots of hip hop, graffiti, and overall lifestyle of that era. This documentary goes in detail about how the graffiti scene exploded in the inner cities and showed how the artists got down back in the day. It really is a dope film, and it makes me wish I was a teenager back in the 80's. In my opinion, their care-free 80's lifestyles, and being alive during the prime of real hip hop would top watching 90's Nickelodeon any day...

Not to mention, if you've ever heard of the song Respiration from Blackstar & Common - the first two people talking in the song is an excerpt from the film. Its two young graffiti artists talking about the pieces they did on the NYC trains the previous night.
