Style Wars on DVD
Published April 21, 2003
Style Wars is finally on DVD! Kill yourself if you haven't seen it yet. Sandbox Automatic says about the dvd version:
"Style Wars" debuted on public television back in 1983, when Ed Koch was mayor of NYC and subways were a fertile battleground for "art crimes" and spectacular visual expression. Though never officially released on video by a major studio, independently distributed copies have been circulated for many years to generations of aspiring artists as well as general hip-hop fans. Now available in digital format for the first time ever, this deluxe double DVD set includes the original 70 minute film in its entirety, plus 23 minutes of original outtake footage, feature commentary from the filmmakers themselves, and a remastered Dolby 5.1 soundtrack of all time hip-hop classics by Grandmaster Flash, Treacherous Three, Trouble Funk, Fearless Four, Rammelzee & K-Rob and more. Then on disc #2, get ready for an additional 3-1/2 hours of previously unreleased material. 32 artist galleries and interviews with some of the all-time graffiti and b-boy masters like Daze, Dondi White, Duro, Crazy Legs, Kase 2, Ken Swift, Pink, Seen TC5, Shy 147, Zephyr and many more. Guest interviews with living legends like Fab 5 Freddy, Goldie, Guru of Gang Starr, DJ Red Alert, and photographer Martha Cooper. New music from Definitive Jux recording artists El-P, RJD2 and Aesop Rock. And the incredible "Destroy All Lines" video featuring over 200 entire cars and burners looped in full motion for over 30 minutes.
