Customer Reviews of Wild Style
HERE'S A LIL' STORY THAT MUST BE TOLD... C'mon, who can resist all that bummy-ass gear some of our Hip Hop hero's are rockin' in this movie? lol Or how about the infamous ball court face-off with Cold Crush and the Fantastic 5? Not to mention Double Trouble's classic set in gangster garbs and totin' "toolies". Wild Style, though low in budget, is definitely high in spirit and Hip Hop talent. One of the very few pieces of urban cinema to capture New York Hip Hop pioneers during their zenith, Wild Style is a cult classic. But before we head down to the "Dixie" to puff cheeba and jam; there is one bone that needs to be picked. What in God's name was director Charlie Ahearn thinking when he replaced the original music from the infamous "kitchen" scene with Grandmaster Flash!? For those of you who need more clarity - in the original version of Wild Style (i.e., pre-DVD) turntable legend, Grandmaster Flash butchers Bob James' infamous "Mardi Gras" on a pair of 1 & 2's in his kitchen. In the DVD version, (to my surprise) Flash is cuttin' up another breakbeat! My jaw dropped when I heard this b-list beat replacing a breakbeat classic. I think Mr. Ahearn n' gang were out on tour when Henry Chalfant and Tony Silver (creators of the classic, Style Wars) were teaching "Hip Hop Integrity 101" and "How To Release A Hip Hop Classic on DVD". Was Ahearn too cheap to pay for the rights to use that beat? Damn Charlie, I know Wild Style has been (financially) good to you; so, what gives? How could you sell the consumers short, (on DVD no less)? The lil' extras on the DVD are cool and the movie itself is still classic, but Ahearn definitely get's a 0 for "remixing" one of the illest Hip Hop scenes of all time! Nuff said. --James "Koe" Rodriguez
The all-time classic on DVD!
For any fans of hip-hop, breakin', rappers and the 80's New York b-boy culture, this movie is for you! Shot in a documentary style, we follow around a New York tagger (artist) as he ventures into the b-boy club scene. INCREDIBLE old skool rapping and turntable scratchin' makes this THE DEFINITIVE RAP MOVIE. The acting is bad, but as I said, this is basically a documentary about the first mc's to break out (Grandmaster Flash, Busy Bee etc..) of New York in the early 80's. The Beastie Boys say this is one of their favorite movies and they even use footage from it in their Root Down video. Pumas, Adidas, gold chains and attitude fill this classic from end to end. I'm out!
classic
If you are into Hip Hop and don't own this then you should! It's a capture of the early eighties scene on the edge of going worldwide..the very end of the old school. Classic rhymes and breaking. Worth owning alone for the A to the K scene...
