5.0 out of 5 stars
The Ultimate Hip Hop and Graffiti DVD!!, 29 April 2004
Without any doubt, this is THE greatest documentary about the birth of HipHop ever made. Focusing on the rise of Graffiti it covers all the major artists of the late 70's and 80's. Not only interviews, but real footage of them at work in the yards. It also features some of the most amazing photo's of whole car burners that you have ever seen. Aswell as graffiti it also has old school footage of the Rock Steady Crew. Unbelievable! A movie like this could never be made again. It perfectly and effortlesly captures a movement at it's conception, before any money got mixed into the brew and messed everything up.
If you love Hip Hop or you don't...OWN IT!

'Buy It'!!!!!!, 6 Feb 2004

Not only does this film sum up the creativity of working class youth culture in New York in the 70's/early 80's but it also captures other aspects like passion, determination, character, heart, humour, etc.
The watching experience draws you in, to a point where all your childhood memories come flooding back and you can almost see yourself in certian characters in the movie!
Even though I'm a huge fan of the hole'Hip-Hop'culture myself, you dont even have to be to enjoy this classic piece of footage!, if you are then you'll appreciate it a whole lot more!
The film is a joy to watch from start to finish, it features all of NYC's famous writers from Seen to Shy147, from Blade to Dondi, also captures rare footage of the Rock Steady Crew battling Dynamic Rockers, and the interviews, graf gallerys are great additions to the DVD.
Full marks to Tony Silver, Henry Chalfant and Marther Cooper for making this film.
This is Real Hip-Hop!!!!
