Again found on the Strickly London Blog, This short film by Henry chalfant, of early Hip hop. with Graffiti writers, BBoy/BGirls, DJ's, & MC's.
Some fresh faced young legends of the scene here in this short video.
Everything about it is what attaracted me and my peers back in 84-85, From the Graff, Vibe, the Funk, Hip hop had back then, that sadly as gone from the music and vibe thats Rap music today, All the Bling and aggression is just boring and played out,
Maybe I'm older & I guess its attractive to young people living in poverty still, in the states and here. But these guys and the Generation before them set the standard without all that shit and negativity you get in rap today, to me rap died in the late 80's, apart from a select few crews out there, tuff crew, P.E, Rakim, etc...
anyway this video oozes education to what real hip hop culture was about before the money and bullshit stopped the party..
check out yourself, I'm so glad the likes of Henry Chalfant got involed in this culture and stayed involed, when he could of made his $ from Subway art and left with his dollar earned from the skills of these writers, from the book and style wars...
Anyway check the film..here..
