Wild Style was the first hip hop motion picture, released in 1983.
The film depicts several prominent figures from the early hip hop culture, engaging in activities such as MCing, turntablism, graffiti and breakdancing.
“Wild Style resonates with the optimism of a movement exploding in a burst of creativity. The pioneers of hip-hop …are fresh-faced; the Manhattan art world is just waking up to the commercial potential of graffiti. “ –Times Online
In an attempt to cash in on the break dancing phenomenon of the 1980’s, Epyx games introduced BREAK DANCE, a copy-the-moves
game for Commodore 64…
The game was very poorly developed and thus performed poorly.
The Emcee
• The first introduction of an ‘emcee based theme to the video game world
• Gameplay was similar to the “Guitar Hero “ format – instead of matching notes, you would have to match the corresponding buttons to lyrics with timing.
Notable meetings:
JET GRIND RADIO (JET SET RADIO -JPN) – SEGA 2000• First game to explore the
art of graffiti• Featured revolutionary
cel-shaded graphics—heavily duplicated
• Maintains a huge cult following in the US and Japan
• Soundtrack is mostly electro/techno/J-Pop but the graf is 80’s hip hop inspired.
DEF JAM series (EA, 2003-)• A wrestling game that featured playable
hip-hop stars like DMX and Ludacris with a banging hip-hop soundtrack.
• In 2004’s Fight for NY, more rappers were added, like Snoop Dogg and Ice-T and the fighting moved to offer more than wrestling moves.
• Two years later, Def Jam: Fight for NY: The Takeover was released for the PSP and played as a prequel to the events of Fight for NY.
• Def Jam: Icon was released for the new generation of consoles = sucked. Game over.
rapid decline of hip-hop record sales, down 44% since 2000 and moved from 13% of all
