Graffiti Verite 8: The Fifth Element: The Art of the Beat Boxer

At the heart of old-school hip-hop were the human beat boxes who drew out the percussive beats that drove the MCs' rhymes home, from the depths of their throats to the tips of their tongues. This documentary celebrates them. Los Angeles beat box artists Click 88, Pretty Chi and Joshua Silverstein talk tools, techniques and what it takes to turn beats into art. Performance footage shows an art form evolving.
