If you've never watched it, it's well worth a looksee......
....The Hip Hop Years. A cracking 3 parter from C4 in the 90s (methinks). It's worth it alone for the interview with Kool Herc right at the start where he replays how he invented hip-hop. It sends shivers up my spine every time I see it. I find it really strange how one of the biggest cultural movements of my time, as a kid who went from being 5 to 15 in the 80s, that all hip-hop can be directly attributed back to one man who never made any money from it and never left the Bronx. Well him and Jimmy Saville invented hip-hop but that's a different story.

Aces, think I've seen these before.
Can't believe hip-hop is 4 freaking decades old now.

It's really good all the way through.
Part 2 is just as good as part 1, part 3 tails off a little almost mirroring the hip-hop scene!
