Just to Get a Rep plot

More than 30 years ago, the youth in New York's underprivileged neighborhoods started a revolution by spraying their nicknames on subways. The energy and freedom of this form of expression has inspired generations of young people around the world. Yet the established authorities deny the importance of graffiti. Fighting the power of media, police and the art world, the aerosol-armed artists have developed a unique global culture based on respect, camaraderie and a shared struggle to reclaim and recreate their environment. Just to Get a Rep rigorously explores the love-hate relationship between graffiti and hip-hop. Hear the true story of graffiti artists, told by New York pioneers as well as contemporary innovators from around the world.
