    Love it. I tried to find anything out for place in 1990 but didn't succeed, so well done on getting all the details and props on point.
    I bought my first hip hop record in Our Price in early 1982. I'd never heard of rap or hip hop, I was just intrigued by the title: The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel. The title baffled me as I had no idea what 'wheels of steel' were. But 99p for a 12" was a bargain so I bought it. First listen and I hated it. Weird turntable manipulation and songs running into one another (I recognised Atomic and Good Times). But it grew on me and I never looked back. I dreamed of owning a set of Technics decks but I could never afford such luxuries. By 1990 I was more into the rave scene but I've never stopped listening to hip hop. This film took me back in time.

    It's often the absence of things that make things special. Like the skateboarding or punk culture with those underground mags in the 80's. I often wonder if I would do graff if I grew up in nowadays with so much over the top quality and quantity on the internet. Same with skateboarding: the clips of a gazillion flips on over the top ramps probably wouldn't inspire me that much.
