any brit oldschool hiphop heads remember this documentry from 1987 about UK graffitti and Hip Hop culture 

 goldie and massive attack are in it,aswell as the odd boombox if you watch closely enough including a big ben in afrika bambaatas office/apartment.

Great vid...thanks for sharing, never saw this one....in my opinion i dont think this was filmed in 1987....i think more like 1984-1985 maybe 86....because of how he talks about the clothes...by 1987 hip hop fashion was changing here in the US...people were wearing FILAS, and two tone acid wash jeans...unless it was released in 87...but filmed years earlier is my guess

yeah as i read in the vid description it was in broadcast in 1987...and its a sequel to his 1984 film...so it must have been in 1985 it was made and not shown a few years later?...because they speak of Charles Bronson death wish 3...and that was out in 85....check out at 3:05 into the film...a sharp 777 with the graffiti on the grills...

yeah it was on tv in 87, i think it took a couple of years to film cause at the end of the documentry Brim is older and has kids.
