"If you want to know what Hip Hop is really all about, check out a film called
Style Wars"
KRS-1 Shot in NYC in the early 1980s, Tony Silver's groundbreaking film documented the new language of hip hop - graffiti, rap, breakdance.
Bringing subway battles between artists and civic guardians to the fore,
Style Wars gives voice to some of New York's legendary writers including Kase 2, Skeme, Seen UA, Cap and Dondi.
A precursor to both
Wild Style and
Beat Street, Silver's film is vivid, legendary and a rare big screen event.
