The Hip Hop Years
The Hip Hop Years is a three part series of one hour television documentaries, made for Channel 4 in 1999. The series was devised by David Upshal who produced, directed and narrated the series. He also produced the 33-track compilation CD which accompanied the series and co-wrote the book with Alex Ogg, also titled The Hip Hop Years. The series charts the definitive story of Hip Hop, rising from the streets of the Bronx to become, what Upshal calls, "the new Rock'n'Roll". The programmes combine archive clips and performance from TV, movies and music videos with specially shot material and interviews with key players.
Syl Johnson: Any Way the Wind Blows
A documentary about the greatest soul singer you've ever heard--even if you've never heard of him.
Scratch: All the Way Live
DJ Jazzy Jay starts the party off with old school jams that will slap you back to the Bronx. Z-Trip feeds you bangers and mash-up. The X-ecutioners, in their swan song performance, give you a three-man critical beatdown. Finally, Mix Master Mike unleashes monstrous beats and diabolical scratches.
