Street History

...This is a nice old documentary about the early days of Hip Hop. It describes the lifestyle of Africa Bambaataa and his Zulu Nation. Check the official site. It starts with Planet Rock: “Who control the present, control the past, who control the past, controls the future, FUNK!!!”. Classic indeed. After that we have a speech by Malcom Mclaren, best known as being the manager of the band Sex Pistol, who describes his first impressions when for the very first time he was in touch with Hip Hop. Very interesting! Than there is an amazing overview on Kool Herc. So funny, he drives around the Bronx squalor whit huge speakers on the back of his cars (mobile sound sistem). You can not miss that. He speaks about Hip Hop’s birth, he speaks about blocks party and about the Bronx itself...
