Tony Silver, Director of Style Wars Breaks the Life Barrier

The Director of what is arguably one of the most important pieces of media in the Hip-Hop movement, Tony Silver passed away this week.  Style Wars is an epic documentary film from the 80′s that is a must see for hip-hop enthusiasts.  The website itself is also a great piece of design that calls back to the beginnings of the hip-hop aesthetic.  It’s worth your time to go check out the website and the film is really something that trumps all other films in it’s genre.
