Lately since we have had our weekly "Way Back Play Back" old school hip hop based movies segment. I've been on the search for more and more classics that I haven't gotten a chance to see yet. When I was younger, I wasn't a big movie buff, I spent most of my days outside playing. Also, we didn't have cable to see random movies on TV. So I've had to catch up here and there. The film "Beat Street" is one of those Hip Hop cult classics that I hadn't gotten a chance to see yet and finally found it online and have it here for you all. The movie takes place in Bronx, New York in the early 80's. Its about 2 brothers one is an aspiring Dj and the other one who is younger, is a bad ass breaker and there friends trying to get into the club scene in Manhattan by bringing hip hop culture to the paying audience. The movie features a lot of sick break dancing sets from pioneer break dancing crews: Rock Steady Crew, Magnificent Force, and New York Breakers. If you like old school hip hop nostalgia then you'll definitely like this.
