    I've got a bit of an obsession with that era, love wild style, Warriors, taxi driver, Saturday night fever, loved the docs style wars and rubble kings, love the bridge is over, love the message, love most early hip hop, shit I even love the intro to welcome back kotter, things from my early childhood in that time and place are ingrained in my brain something about the streets, the dirty streets and all the grime and chaos that went with it.

    Saw one episode of this show and its a distilled version of all that, glee with hip hop as has been mentioned, the actors never lived it so they can't comprehend it or project it, they just dress up in Afros and bell bottoms to try and look the part but they're more Jayden smith than kool herc.

    Needs more realism, closer to city of god I'd say.
