Graffiti is Good.

Current TV interviews legendary photographer Martha Cooper about her experiences documenting the evolution of graffiti, b-boying and hip-hop culture during the 70's in New York City. It's a nice little history lesson from an unexpected source: a middle aged white women who was introduced - then became immersed and fascinated with the culture - but was unaware of it's full impact at the time. Today Martha's photo's are iconic imprints of the electrifying beginnings of our beautiful culture.

Pay attention, kiddos...this is the reason us old heads love real hip-hop so much.


"As soon as it became popular, I lost interest in documenting it." (c) Martha Cooper... Ain't that the truth, sister.
