[callumbrowns]

80's and 90's hip hop is too good, you cant hate on the 90's they had 2PAC thumbs up^

[webbusinesskit]

Old school is 1983. Not 1996. This was a year of ravers and cheap bubble gum tunes.

"No Sell Out (Malcolm X)" by Keith LeBlanc. Curiously, he was not a black guy..

Hip Hop is not dead, it´s just difficult to find real artists, with bitch ass rappers like Soldja Boy getting contracts. Hip Hop is so mainstream today, that anybody can get a contract. Back in the day, you actually had to be good. The rappers, the songs and even the videos were good back in the day. Today, you just have to scream five words, use a vocoder and show some tittays in your video. Back in the day, even the videos were like little short films always with a message.

peace!

[JaimeOctober]

@vyrgo84 --Since when do Hiphoppas care what the media portrays?? the urban music industry's interpretation of Hip Hop is whats seen on T.V. (mostly) and on radio (mostly). Her Infinite Presence Helps Oppressed People Lives!

[funkberto]

@kcholo9000

hh is dead IN THE MAINSTREAM..under the surface Hip Hop still alive.

The times go in constant movement. Soon came better times for the music..and for real Hip Hop and Funky music.

Peace

[stevio]

I was at a park jam and met a Black Spade with his Zulu medalion on. Cool dude. Black Spades is now a community group. Word.

[antowalk]

hip hop was real wasnt it, i respect the black spades for making that transition to a community group. Its what our youth need

[Khultan]

One of the most foolish expression still currently used is the use of the term, 'white'. This is a misleading and false word. There is no such pigment in a human being. Description of a person should be broken down to actuality, for instance, Italian, Irish, German, Greek, Jewish, Russian, etc. This is very foolish to use that term, 'white'. It hides the identity and lineage. It's true. Newspaper writers are good at keeping this up. Fuck them.

[RLW1967]

Does Dick Fontaine plan to put this documentary out on DVD? I know that he doesn't make films anymore.

were all gods children all colors all lands one day we all be one nation under one groove peace from hawaii honolulu aloha

[klasomentas]

hey," one nation under one groove" is a stencil graphiti in greece! But I always thought it was dummy trance-techno-electro fans!

[BulletsBasketballDC]

2000-2009 is a cheap ripoff of 1980-1989

Fuck 2000-2009!

[zareh77]

well said brother. hip hop music today is bullshit. rap was at its best from 1980 to 1989 also early 1990s up to 1995 was ok. afrika bambatta, sugar hill grandmaster flash, public enemy and de la soul were the kings. respect to da birth place. bronx ny.

[MastaShayke]

I agree but there was even some hip hop in the late 70's and I have some of it. It was pretty good too.

[rapperskilledhiphop]

trans europe express by kraftwerk is straight up electro hiphop from 1977.

[Khultan]

Hold up, man, you shouldn't call it exactly that.

[1234hemen]

@zareh77 What are you saying hip hop was good up to 2003, when rap changed.

Fuck old school rap 2pac beats everoyene

[funkberto]

@1234hemen

you really says Fuck NEW SCHOOL rap..

[nevawrong]

@1234hemen

but 2 pac is Old School rap,

he died in 1996,

that was a long 15 years ago.

[tekpic04]

@nevawrong WRONGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!

[vyrgo84]

@zareh77 YOU DAMN RIGHT! nowadays is no longer hip hop

[LiarsNightmare]

@zareh77 google: payday monsanto

to see what hiphop as a whole would be like today if parasites didnt co-opt it and turn it into "genocide rap"

[theegyptianlover]

[sense86]

thanks for uploading this. let knowledge drop! one love

[yeppitsme69]

I love this vid.... born in '69 i experienced it all thru listening to pirate radio and taping it all... Afrika Bambaataa still moves me

[flatslab3000]

Ditto

first time you here hip hop - electro - techno

at that time it sounded (and still does) awesome! New york afro american & latino!!! music minds plus kraftwerk.. genius!!!

ps herbie hancock is ace

[vman603]

wow cant believe this video only have 1 comment?? i guess a lot of people arent really interested in history

[STEPASAUR]

I've got this vid and show it to every newbie who wants to know what hiphops about, but sadly, in general terms you're right, it seems learning about the culture isn't really a part of it now but for my generation it was 'everything'

[sense86]

then you're doing the same thing I do with other material. big up and one love.

can i get this on DVD or video tape?

[STEPASAUR]

I dunno about dvd but maybe search amazon or some where like that for the video, it was a documentary by Alan Yentob, and came out on Channel5 videos, it was also part of a uk art series called 'Arena' so it might've been commissioned by them, not sure, i taped mine off the telly

[Bboybobo]

i see that you have a great quality of this documentary thanks for the post!
