80 Blocks From Tiffany's



I remember watching this a few years back and quite enjoying it. Thought it might be worth revisiting (for the sound track alone).

"This 1979 documentary film focuses on gangs such as the savage skulls & nomads who occupied areas of the South Bronx. Perhaps even more compelling is considering that the backdrop and social conditions in this film are a 'far cry' from the lifestyle being promoted through disco music and film. Perhaps this answers questions to why many people took preference over the funk records which arguably paved the way for Hip Hop culture."

If the embedded video doesn't work you can watch it HERE.
