West coast, the West side of Jacksonville Florida, Women, Wine, Winning, Wansformers, Watman, Wavengers, Widerman (yuck), Wild Style, Wu Tang and Willie Evans Jr.
I threw the W up(load).
Wild Style is a classic in the realm of hiphop for a few reasons. One is that its a snapshot of the era that made us fall in love with hiphop in the first place. The general disposition of hiphop culture (the good and bad aspects) is a direct derivative of the atmosphere you see in this film. In addition to that, there are several legendary cameos and performances in the film. Not to mention that, for a lot of us, is was our first time seeing graffiti being depicted as a true art form that had all of the ups, downs, and tough decisions a true art form throws on to an artist. And the basketball court…..I won’t spoil it…I’ll just say the basketball court.
Having explained why I believe its a classic, I can now go on to say that (in true hiphop fashion) I’ll be mangling the movie to bits in a short performance before the film is shown in its entirety at Sunray Cinema in Jacksonville Florida.
