Zoro, the city's hottest and most elusive graffiti writer. The actual story of the movie concerns the tension between Zoro's passion for his art and his personal life, particularly his strained relationship with fellow artist Rose. But this isn't why one watches Wild Style-this movie is the classic hip-hop flick, full of great subway shots, breakdancing, freestyle MCing and rare footage of one of the godfathers of hip-hop, Grandmaster Flash, pulling off an awesome scratch-mix set on a pair of ancient turntables.
A must-see for anyone interested in hip-hop music and culture. An American visual artist, filmmaker, rapper1 and hip hop pioneer. He emerged in New York's downtown underground creative scene in the late 1970s as a camera operator and a regular guest on Glenn O'Brien's public access cable show TV Party. There he met Chris Stein and Debbie Harry. He was immortalized in 1981 when Harry rapped on the Blondie song 'Rapture' that 'Fab 5 Freddy told me everybody's fly.' In the late 1980s, Fab 5 Freddy became the first host of the groundbreaking and first internationally telecast hip-hop music video show Yo! A graffiti artist who received recognition after his death following an arrest by New York City Transit Police for spray-painting graffiti on a New York City Subway wall at the First Avenue station.2 His treatment while in police custody and the ensuing trials of the arresting officers (all of whom were acquitted) sparked debate concerning police brutality and the responsibilities of arresting officials in handling suspects.
This was a widely publicized episode in New York City's history of police brutality cases. An American hip hop group consisting of Chuck D, Flavor Flav, Professor Griff, Khari Wynn, DJ Lord, and the S1W group. Formed on Long Island, New York, in 1986, they are known for their politically charged music and criticism of the American media, with an active interest in the frustrations and concerns of the African American community. Their first four albums during the late 1980s and early 1990s were all certified either gold or platinum and were, according to music critic Robert Hilburn in 1998, 'the most acclaimed body of work ever by a hip hop act'. A series of covert, and at times illegal,12 projects conducted by the United States Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) aimed at surveilling, infiltrating, discrediting, and disrupting domestic political organizations.34 FBI records show that COINTELPRO resources targeted groups and individuals that the FBI deemed subversive,5 including anti-Vietnam War organizers, activists of the Civil Rights Movement or Black Power movement (e.g., Martin Luther King, Jr. And the Black Panther Party), feminist organizations,6 independence movements (such as Puerto Rican independence groups like the Young Lords), and a variety of organizations that were part of the broader New Left.
A DJ from Brooklyn, New York. One of the earliest DJs to mix records together in sequence,1 Flowers was known as one of the earliest pioneers of hip hop. Flowers was involved in the disco and funk scene and used to hold block parties. Flowers is cited as having a 'formative influence' on hip hop DJs2 such as Grandmaster Flash3 and Afrika Bambaataa in the early 1970s. In 1969, Grandmaster Flowers opened for James Brown at Yankee Stadium.
Although an inspiration to many of hip hop's early greats - he is highly respected by those he influenced - Flowers never himself made it to the heights of his successors in hip hop culture. As he found himself being overtaken by the younger up-and-coming DJs at the end of the 1970s, Flowers succumbed to a life of hardship and dependence on hard drugs. He died in 1992.
