Wild Style, the first film to unite the underground urban art forms of nascent hip hop cultureDJing, MCing, b-boying, and graff writingwas filmed on location in the South Bronx without permits or pretensions. Some twenty-five years after its release, Wild Style is truly a classic, having inspired countless artists, musicians, and writers with unforgettable scenes starring the eras most memorable personalities.
