I found a documentary directed by Tony Silver who collaborated with Henry Chalfant.

The documentary discusses the influence of graffiti and it's history. It also mentions the Hip Hop culture and its other elements.
The main styles of graffiti I have looked at is Throw-up, Tagging, wildstyle and pieces.
A throw-up is a form where it can be done very quickly, will consist of one or two letters or phrase but they are simpler versions of pieces.
Tagging is a basic form that gets the writer's name out there and noticed. It could also be the writer's logo.
Wildstyle is a complicated form where the letters interlock or are tightly closed together.
Pieces, short for a masterpiece, is more of a painting style, normally seen on murals.
