Larry Clark from "Wassup Rockers" - Interview
New 'Kids' are 'Wassup Rockers'

“Wassup Rockers” is set in South Central and Beverly Hills, focusing on a group of Latino kids who wear tight pants, skateboard, listen to punk rock and who inevitably don’t fit into the hip hop culture that surrounds them.
