I, like many, first saw Style Wars abet in the early 80′s on PBS as an impressionable youth who was impartial discovering Hip Hop in all it’s forms. It has remained to this day, one of the best (certainly the most impartial) accounts of Hip Hop in it’s relative infancy. While the focus is squarely on the “writers” (graffiti artists for all you modern jacks), we do earn to examine other aspects of Hip Hop culture in play (most notably b-boying with the Rock Loyal Crew) . Watching the film on dvd after so many years was literally like going befriend in time. It not only holds up, it has customary like aesthetic wine. Every shot in the film reeks of NY & Hip Hop in the early 80′s. A accurate, 100% bonafide classic in every sense of the word. The filmakers have succeeded beautifully in capturing the spirit of the time, the set, the people and the culture. This is a just time capsule if there ever was one.
Ok, enough with accolades. Now on to the disc. Dang. Talk about getting the deluxe treatment. Whereas the Wild Style DVD is incomplete (scrutinize my review), Style Wars is not only complete, uncut and un-altered, it is absolutely rotund to brim with astonishing extras…end to 4 HOURS worth. Highlights include art and interviews with many of the films participants. Most well-known for me was MIN ONE. He’s the tough shrimp curly-haired, white kid who tries to come by the rest of the writers to retaliate against Cap for “going over their burners”. (“That’s never forgive action”) . All I can say is he looks like he’s been through one hell of a lot in the last 20 years. Very sobering to say the least.

Other extras include outtakes, audio commentary by the filmakers, and (this is very icy) a 30 small loop of “whole cars”.
If you mediate yourself a serious Hip Hop head, you have no excuse not to acquire this dvd.
The very fact that in the special features fraction there is an entire segment of photos of the cars that have been tagged with graffiti and the fact that the individuals who tagged the trains are presented, interviewed and paid homage to tells what a phenomenal cleave of history this documentary is.

It was filmed during the time that these artists were doing their work and the ones mild living are followed up with many years later. It really dives into the history and development of the phenomenon. Who can forget images of dirty gigantic cities with the trains riding along with great works of graffiti art on them? Someone was there to document it all. This film is a result of that work.
This is the chronicle of it all. Engaging is the documenting of the lengths the authorities had to go to in order to control the “spot” (which, of course, is a matter of perspective) . One of the artist is shown years later with his mother intellectual with pride and his mother, interviewed earlier in the film as well, aloof rolls her eyes at his pride.
The artists are interviewed, both then and now, and the connection of graffiti to hip-hop and B-boy culture is touched upon, although this is probably the weakest link in the film. Wild Style and The Freshest Kids lift you deeper into the world of B-boys and Scratch takes you deeper into the world of hip-hop and the emergence of rap from it. But this is a ample film on graffiti in its heyday.
