Rap Damage (In Search Of The Hip Hop Rabbit)

A short film by David Markey - one of the most renowned indie film-makers and ambassadors of the vintage US punk movement from the 70's, 80's and 90's.

Who is David Markey?
--------------------------------
Los Angeles independent filmmaker David Markey has sustained a truly independent career in the shadow of Hollywood and against the backdrop of corporate America for over two and a half decades. As a filmmaker and musician, Markey brings together underground music, experimental cinema and contemporary culture in a direct and insightful way. His unique take on pop culture and dark wit are present throughout his work, the majority of which has been self-funded, produced and distributed. His body of work is also historically significant, representing a unique record of the punk scene in Southern California throughout the 80s and 90s. His films include the acclaimed documentary 1991: The Year Punk Broke (1992) and the Los Angeles Punk Super-8 cult classics The Slog Movie (1982), Desperate Teenage Lovedolls (1984), and the sequel Lovedolls Superstar (1986) made before he was practically of legal age. His latest film, The Reinactors (2008), is a hilarious and surprisingly moving document of Hollywood boulevard street performers & celebrity look-a-likes. He has worked with Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Redd Kross, The Ramones, Shonen Knife, Black Flag and Meat Puppets to name a few. His indefatigable DIY aesthetic continues to drive him, as well as inspire a new generation of filmmakers, musicians and artists.

hi guys, this is V.I.B.E., we’re a rapping-singing duo, and we’re trying to get started early so we can improve and make as much good music as possible before we become fully functioning members of society and all that stuff that really matters in life is bashed out of our brains by 9 to 5s.

But… we got 8 years to make this happen, so :D

come with us on the journey, check out our channel and help two 15 year old Freshmen in their goal of making good music for you. Thanks :)

It's funny how Thurston steps out of character when he talks to the yard sale lady.
