You don't mention timeframe or budget.....I got some useful material from Arkaos.net for this sort of gig. I cant remember whether they came with upgrades ie demo patches or whether they may be on the discs they sell with content. They have a few patches (collections) with skaters and quite a few that feature good quality breakdance clips. It's cliche but does help. Even if you dont use Arkaos the clips are QT so are useful.

if you're into "sampling" you can grab some moments from the movie wildstyle or another hiphop culture movie.. otherwise, make friends with someone that's into breakin'

wildstyle is a wicked film.

as is style wars and scratch.

one thing that always goes down at a hip hop gig is locking down a camera and pointing it at the turntables, so you can bust in for a closeup when the DJ drops a scratch or beat juggles.
