‧‧‧ One of 184Wild Style is a 1983 hip hop film released in September 1982, it is regarded as the first hip hop motion picture.
The film featured seminal figures within the given period, such as Fab Five Freddy, Lee Quiñones, Lady Pink, The Rock Steady Crew, The Cold Crush Brothers, Queen Lisa Lee of Zulu Nation, Grandmaster Flash and Zephyr.
The Wild Style logo appeared in 1981 when Charlie Ahearn hired graffiti writer Dondi to paint the ‘window down’ subway car piece that appears in the film.

The Dondi piece was the inspiration for the animated title sequence designed by the artist, Zephyr and animated by Joey Ahlbum in 1982. The Wild Style mural was painted by Zephyr, Revolt and Sharp in 1983. Charlie Ahearn and Fab 5 Freddy began working on the film on late 1981.
The approach was a hybrid of a narrative musical and documentary, having the real hip hop pioneers play themselves in a loosely scripted story shot entirely in the South Bronx, the Lower East Side and MTA subway yards.
