HH have you ever seen that Arena hip hop documentary from 1984?

Seen so many, I'm not sure which one that was I'll google when I'm at home.

It's called 'Beat Dis: a Hip Hop History'
Narrated by Gary Byrd in a really bent 'rapping' way but contains some incredible footage of Rock Steady, Bambaataa etc in the early 80s. It's as good as Style Wars or Wild Style, no question: I have it on VHS but I imagine it's on YouTube.

Is that the one that has a bit on about "Cool DJ Herc"?

Yup, driving through the Bronx with two massive speakers in the back of his car.
I had dinner with him once. Tru storeee. Backstage at Brixton Academy.

I'll give it a whirl when I get back home.
*I hope it is on youtube*
