While i will always try and support DVD's and books that come out and tell some history on Hip Hop, i would really like to see more books published by acctual pioneers themselves. It's time that we stop letting people ouitside the culture tell our story, and we need to tell our own stories. if your a writer, please do not use any of the information on this site for your book or project. Please let us tell our own story.
If i see anything from my site in your book, then i will have to handle the situation the way i know best.
peace wiggles

IMHO: A must have Hip Hop documentary. Focuses on graffiti. The closest thing you will get to the time period when Hip Hop was still raw.

Breakin
Again not my favorite hip Hop movie, but showcased amazing West Coast talent and featured more POPPING and LOCKING styles.
