5.0 out of 5 stars Through The Years of Hip Hop, January 31, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Through the Years of Hip Hop, Vol. 1 - Graffiti (DVD)
Finally someone has taken on the task of telling the story of how hip hop was born. This DVD is unique because it combines education with entertainment. The collection of classic music videos from Run Dmc, Dana Dane, The Crash Crew, Special Ed and the others are just not found anywhere else. These guys are sure to start a trend. For the avid hip hop fan, it just doesn't get any better than this. When was the last time you saw one of De La Soul's or Rob Base & DJ Easy Rock early videos??? Then as if that wasn't enough they have produced a great documentary on the orgins of the four core elements of Hip Hop. The first part tells the story of Graffiti in the US. Its like these original pioneers are sitting in your living room telling their story. Great product. On a technical note, hats off to the editor!

5.0 out of 5 stars Muy Bueno!, October 10, 2004
By 
Andre M. "brnn64" (Mt. Pleasant, SC United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Through the Years of Hip Hop, Vol. 1 - Graffiti (DVD)
For those who were around during th early years of hip hop before it's "trashification" with gangster crap (though recent releases have shown some improvement) or who are just interested in this era, this is very good. The documentary on graffiti really gets it right when it sets up what it was like to be a 70s child in the pre hip-hop era (having been one myself). The videos themselves range from interesting to good. A crude but appealing video of the Crash Crew gives you a good idea of what early hip hop was like. Then we have the classics of the era such as Run-DMC's Rock Box, Dana Dane, Rob Base, the young Queen Latifah, etc. The there's De La Soul's classic posse video "Buddy" which also includes a cameo by the young Latifah. This is a sweet video. I love the unity and positivitiy it represents among the Long Island-New Jersey rappers of that time. Too bad rap did not stay on this level. But in either case, watch it, learn, and enjoy.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good start in understnading hip hop, January 19, 2007
This review is from: Through the Years of Hip Hop, Vol. 1 - Graffiti (DVD)
A good documentary of historical value. A well made effort in describing the essence of what we call hip hop in it's morden day form. It's flashback of occurances and events shows an unification of innovation in inner city life and it's youths revelation of how America defines itself today. Looking forward to all 4 Hip Hop years.
