Video: Beat This: A Hip-Hop History
"Beat This: A Hip-Hop History is a 'seminal' 1984 documentary film about hip hop culture, directed by Dick Fontaine. The cast includes Afrika Bambaataa, DJ Kool Herc — the film includes footage from Herc's original dance parties — The Cold Crush Brothers, Jazzy Jay, Brim Fuentes, and The Dynamic Rockers,and is narrated by Imhotep Gary Byrd. Originally part of the Arena television series, it was among the first crop of documentaries about hip hop."
Four parts of a 6-part playlist (parts 1 and 5 are missing). The archival footage is amazing but the rhyming voice-over by the documentary narrator is pretty corny.
