Some great '80s footage and loads of commentary from Chuck D and Hank Shocklee (who was wearing a Specialized top - MTBer?), Prof Griff and Flav.
Well worth a look if you didn't catch it last night. Probably repeated this week and on iPlayer.

Cracking programme, took me right back. I still don't think there's been a better album than "Nation of Millions" in the genre. I remember the wall of noise production as being incredibly dense at the time, sounds almost spare against some of what's come since though.

Thanks for the tip off, Chuck D is a smart guy, was in a lift with him once at the BT Tower, very bizarre.

PE are definitely one of the acts I'd really have liked to see back in the day, their gigs looked amazing.
Dave Pearce is a man of many talents.

Dave pierce is a real hip hop head, a real champion for the music back in the 80's.
I saw the spesh top too. Who'd have thought hip hoppers would ride bikes.
Good documentary.

Anyone know what the track was just at the end, where Chuck was walking along the road? Newer material I think, brassy.
