Graffiti Rock 1984 ft. Run-DMC, Shannon, New York City Breakers DJ Jimmie Jazz, Treacherous Three

Graffiti Rock 1982 wikipedia; Graffiti Rock was a hip-hop based television program, originally aired on June 28, 1984. Intended as an ongoing series, the show only received one pilot episode and aired on WPIX channel 11 in New York City and 88 markets around the country, to good Nielsen ratings. Graffiti Rock resembled a hip hop version of the popular television dance shows at the time such as Soul Train and American Bandstand. The show was created and hosted by Michael Holman, who was the manager of the popular break-dancing crew, the New York City Breakers. The episode features Run-D.M.C., Shannon, The New York City Breakers DJ Jimmie Jazz, Kool Moe Dee and Special K of the Treacherous Three. The New York City Breakers, who were fresh off of their success from the movie Beat Street, made a showcase appearance. The episode also features television and film actress, Debi Mazar and actor/director Vincent Gallo (who identified as "Prince Vince") as dancers on the show. A segment of the show was sampled on The Beastie Boys' LP Ill Communication. "[...] alright, you're scratchin it right now, cut the record back and forth against the needle, back and forth, back and forth, makin' it scratch, but let me tell you something: don't try this at home with your dad's stereo, only under hip-hop supervision, alright?" The show has since become an important 'must-see' for hip-hop enthusiasts, alongside such titles as Wild Style and Beat Street. In the video for the Non Phixion and Arsonists song "14 Years Of Rap", a set very similar to the one on Graffiti Rock was used. In the beginning of the video the words "Graffiti Rock" can be seen and also heard in the sample. Graffiti Rock was parodied by Gnarls Barkley in the music video for their 2008 single "Run (I'm a Natural Disaster)," from the album The Odd Couple. The title Graffiti Rock was inspired by a live hip-hop event of that name created by the photographer Henry Chalfant and hosted by Fab 5 Freddy at the experimental art space The Kitchen in lower Manhattan in 1981.

Rapospective; The Unfortunate Understudy | Above the Law - Livin' Like Hustlers (1990) Spearheaded by a prodigy who was developing into one of hip hop’s first two-way artists, Above the Law stood out in a growing gangsta rap realm with their blend of the hustler life with hard rhymes and beats. Signing a deal with Ruthless Records, the home of the emerging group N.W.A, was a major boost, and their debut, 1990’s LIVIN’ LIKE HUSTLERS, would successfully kick off the beginning of a critically impressive group. However, Above the Law would also have to contend with label politics and the comparatively overwhelming success of their like-minded label mates. #abovethelaw #livinlikehustlers #cold187um #kmg #nwa #ruthlessrecords #drdre #icecube #eazye 00:00 Intro: The Hutchinson Family Pedigree 01:47 The Rap Game or the Crack Game 07:40 Dr. Dre as Cold 187um's Mentor 08:39 LIVIN' LIKE HUSTLERS Review 15:41 How "Gangsta" Can One Get? 18:57 Doomed to Circumstances 20:56 Outro: Understated and Underrated ABOVE THE LAW SERIES: Livin' Like Hustlers (1990) • The Unfortunate Understudy | Above the Law...

Style is King 1999; Class is in session - The history of handstyle by Dash167 Video; Aerosoldiers Magazine

GOOGLE AI; Handstyles, the foundation of graffiti, are unique, stylized signatures or "tags" that serve as an artist's personal mark and identity. Emerging from 1930s-40s West Coast Cholo writing and 1960s Philadelphia "Gangster Prints," handstyles evolved through NYC's 1970s boom into intricate, varied forms like Philly's "Wickeds," emphasizing speed, flow, and, in cases like Wildstyle, complexity. Key Historical Developments of Handstyles Early Origins (Pre-1970s): Before hip-hop, LA's Cholo graffiti tradition (1930s-40s) used German Gothic, black-and-white, brush-painted, and spray-painted tags to delineate community territory. Simultaneously, "Gangster Prints" (now "Wickeds") developed in Philadelphia in the late 1960s, focusing on stylized, condensed, and, often, vertical letter shapes. The 1970s NYC Explosion: Graffiti solidified in NYC as youth began tagging in the early 70s, transitioning from simple signatures to stylized, personalized tags. Early pioneers like TAKI 183 and Julio 204 set the standard for, and popularized, the art of the tag. Evolution of Styles: As writers grew more competitive, handstyles became more complex. This included the development of "Wildstyle" by innovators like Phase 2, characterized by interlocking letters, arrows, and deliberate illegibility to the untrained eye. Significance and Function: Handstyles serve as the fundamental, everyday signature, acting as territorial markers (identifying crews/individuals) and showcasing mastery of letter form and flow. Tools and Techniques: The evolution of materials—from markers and spray paint to specialised tips—allowed for greater precision, speed, and complexity, influencing the development of unique, regional styles. Key Regional and Stylistic Variations Philly Handstyle: Known for its verticality and speed, specifically the "Wicked" (or "Wickeds") which are often passed down and developed over time. LA/Cholo Style: Rooted in Latin community identity, using distinctive, angular lettering, and a focus on community pride. Wildstyle: Complex, interlocking letters designed to be legible to other artists, not the general public. Today, handstyles remain a critical, respected element within graffiti culture, acting as the foundation for larger, more complex works like pieces and throws. #graffiti #handstyles #handstyle #tags #tagging

Also features a short introductory documentary on the early Hip Hop culture featuring interviews with Afrika Bambaataa and other members of the Zulu Nation. On top of all that it includes a 1983 Burger King Hip Hop commercial from the airing, which was purposefully included to complete the throw-back vibe. The winners of the contest received $2500, an appearance on New York Hot Tracks, and a key roll in the movie Beat Street. If you know the movie, you know who won the contest! Enjoy!

Young Kool Keith of Ultramagnetic MCs Popping & Locking > Roxy, Manhattan, New York City

Rick Ski TV Video Info; Rare amazing Footage of a young Kool Keith before the Ultramagnetic MCs Fame Poping & Locking in the Fall of 1983. His Name was "Activity" then. This is an excerpt of a Full Length TV-Report from Oslo, Norway about the 'Breakin & Hip Hop Scene, filmed mostly at the famous NYC Roxy Nightclub.

Rick Ski TV that have uploaded a lot of fantastic and historic old school footage "stole" a little clip from a documentary that I'd uploaded > Hip Hop Movement, but what I was not aware of was that Kool Keith is in it, I've seen it so many times over the years but never even thought about it and I've been a fan of Ultramagnetic since their first album > Critical Beatdown (1988), thanks for pointing that out. Watch the full documentary here. Featuring interview with DOC TC5, lots more graffiti and breaking from New York and some breakin' from Oslo and Copenhagen.

Once again rap is dead, who killed it his time around?

Google AI; The idea that "rap is dead" is a recurring debate, not a single event, with recent discussions pointing fingers at commercialization, social media influencers lacking lyrical skill, and even nostalgic "old heads" for stifling new talent, though artists like Nas with his "Hip Hop Is Dead" (2006) song and others argue it's evolving, not dying, with new styles emerging, as seen in discussions about the changing music landscape and streaming numbers. Who Gets Blamed? Commercialization & Mainstream: Critics argue record labels prioritize artists with viral social media appeal over lyrical depth, leading to less authentic music. Influencers & Mumble Rap: Some feel that artists gaining fame through platforms like TikTok, without traditional rap skills, dilute the genre's quality. Old School Fans: Some artists, like Rojelio Capone, suggest older fans who only appreciate classic styles are partly to blame for rejecting new artists who innovate. Internal Issues: Nas's "Hip Hop Is Dead" (featuring will.i.am) portrayed the search for hip hop's killer as a detective story, implicating a mix of societal issues and internal stagnation within the genre itself. Is It Actually Dead? No, it's Evolving: Many artists and fans believe rap is simply changing, with new sounds and styles (like trap, drill, melodic rap) dominating the mainstream, while underground scenes still thrive. Data Shows Shifts: While some data suggests a dip in rap's market share or streaming in recent years, this is often seen as a fluctuation within a massive, ever-changing genre, not a death knell. In essence, "who killed rap" is a rhetorical question highlighting ongoing debates about authenticity, commercial pressures, and the genre's constant evolution, with blame spread across industry, fans, and artists themselves, rather than one single perpetrator. #wokeism #emorap #lyricalmiraclerap #mumblerap RELATED; Is mumble rap art?

The Sacred Gamer; The Sound Bite That Spawned an Entire Genre of Music > The Roland TR-808 Cowbell

The Roland TR-808 Cowbell (808 Cowbell), is one of the most appreciated sound bites in the history of music, establishing a heavy presence throughout the last few decades. The popularity of the 808 Cowbell partially stems from the admiration producers and composers have for the drum machine it came from. Starting in 1980, the 808 Cowbell has been included in thousands of songs across many genres. #memphisrap #trapmusic
