Breakdancing and rap music originally had nothing to do with graffiti. Both breakdancing and rap music were added and molded into Style Wars documentary as fillers, because the film at the time was lacking exciting story telling content to complete the original documentary on graffiti. - Never believe everything that you read or watch.
