Where do I begin? This book chronicles the beginnings of the hip hop culture as no other periodicle has ever done… Written in 1984, it is immersed in the legend and lore of the time from which it was born… The lucid writing is gripping and revealing, offering a veritable cornucopia of jewels, gems, and unparalleled insight into the roots of breakdancing, graffiti, rapping, and DJing (the four elements – although they are not enumerated as such in the text)…

In other words, if you get a chance, peep it… On the real, kid, even though it’s crazy rare, it’s a piece of your culture — OUR culture… If you EVER see it, pick it up… It’s incredibly rare and hard to find!

Getting into Graffiti art?
I have taken a deep interest in graffiti or “writing”and yes im young (14 years old) I want to learn the proper art of graffiti or WRITINGmy problem is like many others…where to start?I have thought of a tag (“WRATH”) which i am fond of. I have been trying to look around for movies and books on graffiti history/styles/ art. But ive only been able to find the legendary documentary: “STYLE WARS”But im guessing looking online for lessons isn’t the best way to go- but it seems i don’t have a choice. I doubt i will ever find a mentor where i live (Merrylands, Sydney- Australia) so i just don’t know how to start writing…Answers and any bits of advice is deeply appreciated oh and if your just going to talk about how I’m defacing public property Graffiti Art Hip Hop Tagging i do not mean to be rude but please- save it…I understand the implications on what Im doing and I know im just another kid with no respect for other people’s property, the rules, society etc, etc.I am beginning to start writing but im still stuck on base 1…thinking of a tag name…I know it should be something that represents ME or tells other people something about my style or what/why i write (graffiti)i started out with “Infamy”…seeing if I’m going spread out around my neighborhood id be “infamous” but i didn’t because it was just too unoriginal and I think you’d agree, its kind of stupid..”WRATH” was another one (Taking my anger out in revenge in the form of writing…sounds stupid I know..)but I’m not sure if it will cut itso yeah, just your opinion on what i should take into account when thinking of my tag Signature and what I SHOULD or SHOULDN’T includeoh and tag names you can think of or tag names you use (and why) would be helpfulthanks a lot!Oh and I’m not telling you to pick my tag for me…just what I should consider when picking one..But I have many other problem including the ones stated above like, how do I begin to develop my technique? Lets just say I’m someone who’s interested in the graffiti/ hip-hop culture and have been for a while.I’m not sure if I have any talent in writing..how can I develop the skill? Where do I start? What do I have to know? what should be running through my head? What does it take to be a real writer?I know what you’re trying to say..but none of your links work…

    This book is one of the best books written about hip hop in general. Steven Hager really did his homework on this one. this book has it all, plenty of pictures, interviews and knowledge.
