Product Description
A movie whose influence cannot be under-estimated and hailed as the most inspirational hip-hop of movie of all time, Wild Style captures the birth of an underground hip-hop scene about to explode around the world changing the face of music, fashion, art and a way of life forever. Following street artist Zorro (played by legendary subway artist Lee Quinones) and his crew as they journey through the streets, projects and train yards of New York, keeping one step ahead of the cops and their rivals, the film climaxes in one of the most famous hip-hop concerts in history. Featuring the pioneers at the forefront of a cultural revolution including DJs, rappers and breakers such as Grand Master Flash, The Chief Rocker Busy Bee, Fab Five Freddy, The Rock Steady Crew, and The Cold Crush Bros., Wild Style is the greatest hip-hop movie of all time.

Wild Style, what can I say. It's one of greates hip-hop films ever made. It's got all the foundations, the graff, the DJing, the MCees, and least but not last the b-boying. All of it thrueschool hip-hop history. But be aware, dodgy footage on Grand Master Flash mixing on his decks to Bob James' Mardy Gras, has been replaced by som weird imitation of it. The other thing this UK-version hasn't got any bonus material. No Fab 5 Freddy interviews not even the graff footage as claimed on the US version. Even so the film is worth 10 points for it's historical value.
Peace...

If you are into hiphop and have not seen this movie you have really missed out on something important. This is the raw energy of hiphop caught on film, before it became a multimillion dollar industry. This is how it started, rap, dj'ing, breaking and graffiti art.
The actors and actresses play a role i the movie reflecting what they do in real life.. like the graffiti legend Lee plays the main character Zoro,and Lady Pink plays his girlfriend Rose along with a lot of other cool cool cats.. you got rapping by Busy Bee, Grandmaster Kaz, Double Trouble and more!.. also staring is Grandmaster Flash, Grand Wizard Theodor(the inventor of the scratch). If these names are not known to you, then you got even more reason to check this out.
I owned this on vhs, but my player stopped working, so i had to get this dvd.. and man! it is great! a lot of bonus material for the ones already loving this movie, and for anybody new to it. You get to meet some of the stars 25 years later in interviews and short films done by Charlie Ahearn, the man behind Wild Style together with Fab 5 Freddy.
I've seen Wild Style more than any other movie..it just gets me up.. like the hiphop culture it's all about peace, love, unity and having fun.
Along with "Style Wars" this is truly and hiphop essential.
