The story

The film is about the origins of graffiti and hip-hop as told by some of New York's graffiti pioneers as well as contemporary artists from Europe and the US. Graffiti art as we know it today started in Philadelphia and the Bronx and became a worldwide culture when the media and art world featured graffiti and its artists in newspapers, books and movies. Just to Get a Rep examines how these influences affected the culture and married it with rap, breakdancing and DJing under the term "hip-hop" coined by Afrika Bambaataa.
