Home screens — films about people who changed hip-hop as a culture. In the ribbon, spike Jonesy “history of the Beastie Boys” are, respectively, group the Beastie Boys, and “Born in Los Angeles” — tattoo artist Mister cartoon and photographer Estevan Oriol. Boris Barabanov believes that the two films complement each other. They provide an opportunity to look at the history of the genre through the lens of Western and Eastern coast of the US in the eyes of the Jews and Mexicans, from the stage and from behind the scenes.”The story of the Beastie Boys” is the third version of the autobiography group. First came the “book of the Beastie Boys”. Then came stand-up show, which the band members Mike D (Michael diamond) and ad-Rock (Adam Horowitz) came up with a with Director spike Jonesy (“being John Malkovich”, “Synecdoche, new York”, “It”) and was shown at the Brooklyn Kings Theatre. Then spike Jonesy removed on the basis of this show feature film intended for showing in cinemas. For obvious reasons, it was available only on digital platforms, specifically for Apple TV+.Camera spike Jonesy recorded a performance of musicians in the role of the storytellers on stage. It perfectly weighted and combined fragments and stand-archival footage on the screen behind the artists.If someone has a question, why the spike Jonesy just have not removed their concert, it is worth Recalling that in 2012, died of cancer third party Beastie Boys MCA (Adam Yauk). Question about pursuing a career in the Duo diamond and Horowitz had not even considered. “History of the Beastie Boys” — dedication to a departed friend, which was the brains of the group. Hysterically funny moments in the film are juxtaposed with monologues, from which the tears welling and the artists on stage and the spectators in the hall and in front of the TV.Three Jewish boys from good families did what they have not managed to black rappers from the suburbs, which it kind of was expected according to the definition. The debut album by the Beastie Boys “Lisense To Ill” (1986) became the first hip-hop album, won first place in the Billboard. However, spike Jonesy on the origins of the Beastie Boys and hip-hop as a culture does not focus. “History of the Beastie Boys” — it’s normally arranged biographical documentary. A hit movie make the energy of the characters and the form of the show within a show.The creators of the film “Born in Los Angeles” (out on Netflix) recreate the era in great detail. Her characters — a photographer, music video Director, DJ and Manager of the Los Angeles rap groups of Estevan Oriol and tattoo artist Mister cartoon (mark Machado), “forgot” about the whole hip-hop elite. Estevan is listed in the credits of the “Born in Los Angeles” as a Director. Both characters relate themselves to the culture of the Chicano, to put it simply, the Mexicans living in California.The film constantly reminds the viewer of the criminal roots of hip-hop culture. The unique style of the Cartoon was born at the crossroads of hip-hopovaja graffiti and prison drawings, whichwhich he saw as a child on the envelopes of letters that came to his relatives from the area. Estevan was removed both stars and drug addicts with homeless people.They were inseparable pair. When Estevan was the Manager and photographer Cypress Hill, House Of Pain and Soul Assassins, and also served as security and, most likely, supplied the wards illegal substances, pricked cartoon tattoo behind the scenes. This process fell into the lens of Estevan and then in the clips (the most famous — “Stan” Eminem) and on the pages of music magazines. As a result, the number of clients of the Cartoon included Snoop Dogg, 50Cent, Beyonce, Kobe Bryant, Travis Barker (Blink-182), Slash, Justin Timberlake and hundreds more artists and athletes. Thanks to the talent of Esteban drawings on their skin instantly became history. And the degree of trust was such that a cartoon invented for their clients stories of tattoos and a signature font.Just as the photographer Jim Marshall popularized the “Pacific”, with the light hand of Estevan, this sign became the informal symbol of the city and ended up on t-shirts and baseball caps. And fonts the Map got in the game and his signature Nike sneakers.At some point there is a feeling that is not cartoon by Estevan followed the rappers, and the rappers was their personal motorcade. In the process of formation of hip-hop, West coast this subculture took the people who created her alphabet, would reveal the system of concepts. Cartoon and Estevan actually drew the whole West Coast hip-hop in the most literal way put these concepts under his skin. “Don’t let the white fences and palm trees fool you, says in the film, Esteban.— Here the Windows of the lattice, and the murder rate is through the roof”. Sounds like a rap.
