From 1968 to 1975, gangs ruled New York City. Beyond the idealistic hopes of the civil rights movement lay a unfocused rage. Neither law enforcement nor social agency could end the escalating bloodshed. Peace came only through the most unlikely and courageous of events that would change the world for generations to come by giving birth to hip-hop culture. Rubble Kings chronicles life during this era of gang rule, tells the story of how a few extraordinary, forgotten people did the impossible, and how their actions impacted New York City and the world over.

Those looking for a hip-hop documentary will be disappointed. While there are elements of hip-hop in the film it's more of a footnote in a documentary about New York gang culture of the 70s. It was very interesting to watch this and see how the movie the Warriors mirrored many of these events.

I wish there was more about the HipHop culture and evolution not just the gangs. Very one sided film that I thought would talk more about the evolution of HipHop not mostly gang culture.

Great film about NYC gangs and the influence they had on the creation of HIP HOP. They were ahead of their time and I appreciate all they did. Well worth the time to watch.
