The result of a three year labour of love from all round producer, director
and editor Oriel Guthrie, Skip Hop is the very first documentary of its kind
to showcase real Australian hip hop culture. Charting the rise of the genre
from its roots and detailing the history of hip hop in Australia, Skip Hop
includes interviews and music from Def Wish Cast, DJ Peril, Hilltop Hoods,
The Herd and Wickid Force Breakers, all of which have played an important
role in the evolution of hip hop in Australia.
Both entertaining and educational, Skip Hop focuses not only on the sounds
of hip hop, but highlights other aspects of Australian hip hop culture the
music, the dance, the fashion and the message. Skip Hop also gives an
insight into the future of Australian hip hop, showing a positive movement
taught through workshops for kids providing guidance from prominent artists
within the scene.
Exploring the popularity of hip hop amongst everyone from men and women
through to primary school children, Skip Hop features heated b-boy battles,
controversial MC battles, interviews and live footage collected from
prominent gigs around Australia. This spirited mix draws the audience along
with its upbeat rhythms and rhymes consistent with the genre, embracing a
strong culture that joins youth and positive force together as an avenue of
self-expression.
Unable to fit the entirety of Australian Hip Hop into one documentary, Skip
Hop Volume 2 is already in the works. The follow-up feature will include
stories from other important crews, groups and record labels that have
helped pave the way for hip hop in this country. The second installment of
Skip Hop will also include a heavier element of graffiti culture, including
the foundations of the movement and its history. Featuring so far are;
Hilltop Hoods album launch, 'Round Two' b-boy battle, and b-boy battle
street jams.
Skip Hop Volume Two is on the hunt for all crews who we didnt get to. hit us a message if your down for the cause.
