Barry Michael Cooper on Busy Bee
This week’s Village Voice features a piece by Barry Michael Cooper on Busy Bee, one of the participants in the seminal 1982 film Wild Style (which will be re-released on DVD next week). Earlier this year, in our Hip-Hop Nuggets issue, Michael A. Gonzales interviewed Barry Michael Cooper, pictured here, about everything from the rise of crack in the Eighties to Oliver Stone to his screenplay for the 1991 gangster classic New Jack City.
