Directed by Tony Silver. Starring Wayne Frost, Sam Schacht.

when director tony silver and partner-producer henry chalfant delivered the broadcast version of their prize-winning film to pbs in 1983, the world received its first full immersion in the phenomenon that had taken over new york city. the urban landscape was physically transformed by graffiti artists who invented a new visual language to express both their individuality, and the voice of their community. in "style wars", new york's ramshackle subway system is their public playground, battleground, and spectacular artistic canvas. opposing them by every means possible are mayor ed koch, the police, and the new york transit authority. meanwhile, as mc's, dj's and b-boys rock the city with new sounds and new moves, we see street corner breakdance battles turn into performance art.
"style wars" has become an emblem of the original, embracing spirit of hip hop as it exploded into the world from underground tunnels, uptown streets, clubs and playgrounds. new york's legendary kings of graffiti own a special place in the hip hop pantheon. this film is regarded by many as the definitive document of the emerging hip hop culture, and the continuing struggle to keep its authentic spirit alive.
"if you want to know what hip hop is really all about, see a film called style wars." (krs-1)

  • The One And Only...

    Written on 04. December 2003 by dr.oma.

    Der Klassiker. Der einzig wahre Graffiti Film für Writer! Dieser Film hat u.a. die Hip Hop Kultur nach Europa exportiert! Jeder, der sich für Hip Hop interessiert MUSS dieses Teil besitzen. Für lange Zeit nicht mehr erhältlich, gibts diesen Mother of all Graff-Flicks nun auf Doppel DVD, Digital überarbeitet, hammer sound und einer bonus DVD, wo man sehen kann, was aus all den NY-Writern aus den 80er geworden ist. U.a. mit SEEN, ROCK STEADY CREW, NEW YORK BREAKERS, SKEME, PJAY, und und und...HAMMER!!!!!
