Most Awesome Hip Hop Documentaries

3. The Freshest Kids (2002)

Director: Israel

Almost two decades after Style Wars’ first glance into the world of B-boying, Israel returned to the world of fly street dance with a new mission: to shine a light on how money and fame had changed the foundations of hip hop. In The Freshest Kids, the director interviews members of Rock Steady and the New York City Breakers – who are mostly in their 30’s – on the renaissance of hip hop’s foundations and the cultural shifts experienced in the genre. With a retrospective mood, the original B-boys take us through their personal experience with the music, what dancing meant to them and how the times have changed.
