About this item
Amazon.com
By now, even your granny knows the four pillars of hip-hop--breaking, DJ'ing, MC'ing, and graffiti--but does she know hip-hop history? Through the Years... is a four-part series exploring hip-hop's roots and pioneers. Volume 1, "Graffiti," takes an intelligent, though New York-centric look at the origins of "writing" and its evolution from ghetto youth crime to splashy art-world staple. Well-chosen footage illustrates the differences among a "tag," a "burner," and a "full car," while living legends Seen and Vulcan discuss their careers and those of Lee Quinones; the late, great Dondi; and Phase 2, whom Vulcan calls the greatest graffiti artist of all time. Wild Style director Charlie Ahearn and the ubiquitous Kevin Powell place the phenomenon within a sociological context. Seven classic music videos, including Run DMC's "Rock Box" and Rob Base's "It Takes Two," add a nice touch to an inspiring production. --Rebecca Levine
