working with a group called[br]Bow Wow Wow.

0:09:06.076,0:09:08.896
I came over there because they were[br]selling some RCA records

0:09:20.986,0:09:22.926
And nothing was happening in New York.

0:09:22.926,0:09:26.542
Then a friend of mine introduced me[br]to a guy who I met on the street,

0:09:26.542,0:09:29.727
somewhere down 5th Avenue.[br]He told me about an incredible scene

0:09:29.727,0:09:34.689
that was happening not in Manhattan,but[br]out in a suburb known as the South Bronx.

0:09:35.438,0:09:37.894

0:09:37.898,0:09:40.268

0:09:40.268,0:09:43.004
that couldn't possibly have [br]ever existed in England.

0:09:44.415,0:09:49.395

surrounded by these huge[br]fired out condominiums.

0:10:00.748,0:10:04.678
There, in the midst of it, was about [br]thousand kids and I couldn't believe it.

0:10:04.678,0:10:07.508

0:10:07.508,0:10:10.870

0:16:23.485,0:16:24.215

0:16:25.207,0:16:26.494
It was pretty good.

0:16:27.356,0:16:29.523
Everybody showed up,[br]had a good time.

0:16:34.745,0:16:36.605
Everybody put on their best that day.

0:16:45.086,0:16:48.196
All of the sudden—[br]I don't know, all of the sudden...

0:16:50.787,0:16:54.357
Something happened, made it so that we[br]didn't get into the parties no more.

0:17:03.920,0:17:09.400
I got injured. I got stabbed.[br]Fatally stabbed, though.

0:17:10.770,0:17:13.075
And that just put a hole[br]through the whole thing.

0:17:15.384,0:17:18.268
I walk right into it, and I just...

0:17:18.998,0:17:20.918

0:17:20.998,0:17:25.568

0:17:26.368,0:17:29.478
The last of them pierced my hand,[br]and it went all the way through.

0:17:31.101,0:17:32.501

0:18:17.112,0:18:21.872

0:18:32.816,0:18:36.096
Though he may be a fallen hero,[br]all will forever say

0:18:36.246,0:18:39.646
that in the history of hip hop,[br]he was its number one DJ.

0:18:41.500,0:18:45.190
You see, Herc had started something[br]that not even his enemies wanted to stop.

0:18:45.511,0:18:49.401

0:19:04.107,0:19:08.217
and where the baddest of them all was a[br]street gang known as the Black Spades.

0:19:08.837,0:19:12.267

It was one of the most hated groups[br]in the whole city

0:19:39.503,0:19:43.218
cause all it was about was um,[br]trouble and stuff and aesthetic.

0:19:43.638,0:19:46.908
But it was one of the most organized[br]Black youth groups.

0:19:47.090,0:19:49.881
As for, if you mess with them,[br]they would mess with you.

0:19:50.261,0:19:56.921

0:19:56.921,0:20:00.047
that lived with me for about two years,[br]by the name Solsky,

0:20:00.517,0:20:02.751
got shot by the police on Pelham Bay,

0:20:02.751,0:20:05.569

0:30:55.959,0:30:58.725
They're defacing[br]somebody else's property.

0:30:58.725,0:31:02.531
I wouldn't want them coming to my house[br]and painting it up, nor my car.

0:31:02.851,0:31:05.281
Mayor Koch tried to get us[br]to make a deal with him -

0:31:06.195,0:31:08.385
that he would give us 10 cars to paint

0:31:09.511,0:31:11.384
and we would stop with the graffiti.

0:31:11.767,0:31:13.667
But it doesn't work like that because _

0:31:13.756,0:31:18.206
Even if I accepted the deal, I can't stop[br]someone else who wants to paint the train

0:31:18.625,0:31:22.167
'cos they got to express their feelings[br]the same way I got to express mine.

0:31:22.167,0:31:25.837
I'm not gonna tell someone, "You can't[br]express your feelings, only I can."

0:31:25.951,0:31:27.751
You know that's not the way it works

0:31:28.303,0:31:31.488
Like I said there's tens of thousands[br]of these kids doing graffiti

0:31:31.790,0:31:35.848
Only a handful of them are really good[br]but whether they're good or bad,

0:31:35.848,0:31:39.270
they have no business being down here.[br]It's dangerous, they can get hurt

0:31:39.482,0:31:41.542
and it's not their property

0:31:42.166,0:31:46.166
As long as there's something to be said[br]in the ghetto there'll be graffiti

0:31:46.490,0:31:50.140
If it's in a building or it's in a train,[br]wherever something has to be said

0:31:50.675,0:31:53.905
you know, in New York city[br]that's the way we express ourselves

0:31:54.467,0:31:56.460
It might seem silly to someone else but

0:31:56.552,0:31:59.121
in New York city that's the way,[br]we express ourselves.

0:31:59.121,0:32:40.094
(Hip hop music and graffiti)

0:32:40.651,0:32:43.771
All this just makes me madder[br]and makes me wanna go painting more.

0:32:43.771,0:32:48.071
When I see this you know it burns me up,[br]I wanna go out and paint

0:32:48.250,0:32:51.110
and I wanna show them that they can't win[br]because they can't

0:32:51.343,0:32:55.343
The war against graffiti been like 10 yrs[br]and they haven't won nothing.

0:32:55.355,0:33:07.175
(Hip hop music)

0:33:07.515,0:33:09.669
It took them 10 years[br]to put this fence on.

0:33:09.797,0:33:12.147
It'll just take us another year[br]to get into them

0:33:13.356,0:33:15.166
Just give us some time. We'll return.

0:33:15.250,0:33:43.581
(Hip hop music)

0:33:53.674,0:33:57.434
Now we are here today in order to induct[br]into the rapper's Hall of Fame

0:33:57.526,0:34:01.296
just a few of the greatest rappers[br]who ever made rapping their life and fame.

0:34:01.325,0:34:04.785
It didn't start with the Sugarhill Gang,[br]it didn't start with Kurtis Blow

0:34:05.248,0:34:08.468
nor with Flash or the Furious Five,[br]you can take it from me, I know.

0:34:08.929,0:34:10.819
We're going back to where it all began

0:34:10.819,0:34:12.779
at radio stations all over the land

0:34:12.840,0:34:16.710
with Jocko, Hot Rod and Montague -[br]DJs who rap like DJs do

0:34:16.763,0:34:20.403
with names like Hatter and Dr.Jive[br]in the 50s and 60s keeping rap alive.

0:34:20.670,0:34:24.240
Just a step for our tradition[br]for rap to take on a social mission.

0:34:24.518,0:34:26.248
Rap gives kids a whole new way

0:34:26.298,0:34:28.348
to express themselves and sometimes pay.

0:34:28.387,0:34:32.347
You might've been told you were no good,[br]with rap you were king of the neighborhood

0:34:32.462,0:34:36.262
Man can't fake, he's a Geechee...

0:34:38.121,0:34:39.501
Hey he's Joe Frazier.

0:34:39.933,0:34:40.769
Joe Frazier

0:34:41.989,0:34:43.075
Joe Frazier

0:34:43.785,0:34:47.605
People of the world, the man you see was[br]the world's greatest rapper Muhammad Ali

0:34:47.823,0:34:51.913
and the days when he was Cassius Clay[br]was the first national rapper in the USA.

0:34:52.158,0:34:55.557
He's going around saying[br]that he's a championship fighter

0:34:55.818,0:34:58.178
but when he meets me[br]he'll fall 20 pounds lighter.

0:34:58.491,0:35:02.331
He thinks he's a real heavyweight champ[br]After I'm finished he'll just be a tram.

0:35:02.432,0:35:04.167
I'm not saying this just to be funny

0:35:04.167,0:35:07.505
but I'm fighting Ernie because[br]he needs the money. (laughter)

0:35:07.505,0:35:11.235
I decided to let him make a little bread[br]but to catch his I must whip his head.

0:35:11.235,0:35:14.665
I understand he wants to stand toe to toe[br]and with me trade blow for blow

0:35:14.872,0:35:17.952
but if he's hip he'll take a dip[br]because I plan to bust his lip.

0:35:18.072,0:35:22.072
From the northeast to the northwest,[br]from the southeast to the west coast

0:35:22.269,0:35:25.814
from the northwest to the mid-west[br]every rapper thinks he can rap the most.

0:35:26.190,0:35:30.080
But it all began in Aka-Bo land[br]many many moons ago

0:35:30.082,0:35:34.372
It was among the vibes, the powerful vines[br]from which our roots do grow

0:35:34.383,0:35:38.083
The Yoruba and the Bantu,[br]the Sotho and the Gotha,

0:35:38.165,0:35:42.165
the Akan people of Ghana,[br]the Rwanda and the Hausa,

0:35:42.219,0:35:45.949
they engaged in a form of praise[br]done by griots or a chosen bard

0:35:46.255,0:35:49.525
Today we call it throwing down or[br]maybe rapping hard.

0:35:49.558,0:35:51.768
- Who are you?[br]- Who am I? Who are you?

0:35:51.807,0:35:54.847
- Who am I? Who are you?[br]- Who am I? Who are you?

0:35:54.985,0:35:56.502
Who am I? I'm Caz!

0:35:56.502,0:35:58.382
Oh what what do that mean?

0:35:58.382,0:36:01.119
That I'm the baddest MC lover[br]on the Hip Hop Scene

0:36:01.119,0:36:03.789
J.D.L big deal, what does that prove?

0:36:03.796,0:36:06.696
That I'm the MC that make the people move.

0:36:06.696,0:36:09.356
I'm Easy! [br]Easy who and what is your game?

0:36:09.356,0:36:12.196
I'm Easy A D[br]I bet your girls know my name.

0:36:12.196,0:36:12.962
I'm Jay-Z,

0:36:12.962,0:36:14.912
That's your business, what you gotta say?

0:36:14.912,0:36:17.737
That I can rock you anywhere[br]anytime anyday.

0:36:17.737,0:36:20.597
What chasing to the DJs?[br]What do they wanna do?

0:36:20.647,0:36:23.287
Bring in the funky record[br]when you give us the cue

0:36:23.287,0:36:27.761
Like 10, 9, 8-7-6, 5-4-3-2-1

0:36:27.761,0:36:28.471
Have fun!

0:36:28.891,0:36:30.084
Who's that now?

0:36:30.084,0:36:32.514
(artists talking among themselves)

0:36:32.645,0:36:34.663
Oh no girls, no!

0:36:35.201,0:36:45.911
(Artists talking about the Heartbreaker)

0:36:45.996,0:36:48.877
Would you actually tell her[br]what Heartbreakers mean?

0:36:49.752,0:36:53.312
We'll promise you the world[br]and won't deliver.

0:36:53.312,0:36:55.242
Broken heart is what we give you

0:36:55.242,0:36:57.697
Make you feel like a million[br]by the things we say

0:36:57.786,0:37:00.026
and make you feel like a fool[br]the very next day.

0:37:00.026,0:37:03.521
We're heartbreakers ha-ha.[br]We're heart-heart-heartbreakers.

0:37:03.521,0:37:05.501

0:37:05.618,0:37:08.838

but I'm the kind of man[br]that can't be tied down.

We're heart-breakers[br]and this is how they break your heart.

0:37:30.256,0:37:33.109

We're 3 for all,[br]that means we are together

0:42:21.501,0:42:23.551

For some people it is considered a miracle

0:42:46.755,0:42:50.181
It's a rap, a clap on its way to the top[br]and that's the peak of the chart

0:42:50.181,0:42:54.185

Planet Earth kept going through changes

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And then the Renaissance came and times continued to change

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Nothing stayed the same, but there were always renegades
