Throwback Thursdays: Mr. Wave

DateThursday, December 13, 2012 at 8:50AM

This morning I just discovered that there's a new documentary in the works (Wave) about old school b-boy, Mr. Wave. It's important that we remember the roots and pioneers of this culture but I think the thing that pleases me the most is that hip-hop now has grandfathers. People who have been part of the movement since the late 70's/early 80's. I take comfort in the fact that there are now cops, judges, politicians and spiritual leaders who grew up on hip-hop. Dig this teaser and be sure to peep the doc when it drops.
