Rubble Kings And NYC Gangland to Hip Hop

A teaser video should be all you need to help ignite your desire to want to pursue and watch this documentary as Filmmaker Shan Nicholson will take you through the history of NYC from violence to hip hop. The footage and the use of contemporary issues and interviews helps to connect the violence and the intricacy of the 1960′s and 1970′s gang lands to the birth and trends of the Hip Hop Culture.

Photos from Bruce Davidson's 1959 project "Brooklyn Gang"

“Bruce Davidson’s 1959 project Brooklyn Gang is an intimate photographic study of a rebellious Brooklyn teenage gang, who called themselves The Jokers. Not only is Davidson’s work a sincere portrayal of troubled teenagers coming of age, but it also acts as a documentation of teenage life during 1950s, exposing the emotional climate of that time period and exposing the dark side of a supposedly innocent time period”
