In 1982, a small, independent movie written, produced, and directed by Charlie Ahearn was released, first in Germany, Japan, and Cannes, then finally in Times Square. Wild Style, the first film to unite the underground urban art forms of nascent hip hop culture-DJing, MCing, B-boying, and graff writing-was filmed on location in the South Bronx without permits or pretensions.
To celebrate the film’s silver anniversary, Wildstyle: The Sampler provides an inside look at the making of the film, its release, and what it caused around the world. Narrated by Ahearn, the book introduces us to a cast of characters and outrageous adventures through a carefully curated collection of never-before-published photographs, original artwork, production stills, archival materials, and personal stories from stars Fab 5 Freddy, Lee Quinones, Lady Pink, Zephyr, Patti Astor, Busy Bee, Grandmaster Caz, and Glenn O’Brien, as well as insights into the film’s influence by artists and writers including Sacha Jenkins, Melle Mel, Biz Markie, Cut Chemist, and DJ Krush !
Comes as hardcover, and about 200 pages.
