“Tomorrow we’re loose, and I got a rocket in my pocket – comp’s to the Roxy…”
Being that I am a true product of the hip-hop and electronic dance music generation, this is without a doubt one of my favorite movies of all time. Beat Street, although not as “authentic” in some respects as Wild Style, is a film that is guaranteed to tug the heart strings of anyone who takes pride in the culture of urban sample/DJ-based music and electro-club culture.Although I will admit that at times the dialogue is somewhat cheesy, you can’t help but feel for the characters, and ultimately “wish you were there” for the beginnings of hip-hop culture in New York City in the early eighties. The b-boy battle scene at the Roxy nightclub (a real-life, real-time competition between the legendary Rock Steady Crew and the NYC Breakers) is just as essential to a hip-hop fan’s archives as any classic album. Watch some of the breakers’ moves in slow-motion if possible to truly appreciate the athletic and stylistic expertise of a seasoned B-boy/B-girl. All praises due to the Zulu Nation!!!
nothing beats beat street
Judging this movie as a movie is wrong This is not just a movie it’s a guide book You can’t realise the impact that this film had in lives of teenagers outside US Only if you are a 14 year old in a cinema watching the battle in Roxy with eyes and mouth open wide you can understand it ( I was ) , ok has some corny scenes and some bad acting . WHO CARED ? No one did and no one will This is a worldwide introduction to Hip Hop
