Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSeveral fights broke out between extras. Many Latinos were stating that Hip Hop was collaborated between black/brown while black extras argued that brown "influence" came later. This caused so much tension on set that Russell Simmons grabbed megaphone and shouted "Its Black invented but now everyone is rocking to it. So lets stop fighting and finish this movie".After this, cooler heads prevailed.
- GoofsAt the preliminary talent show the Fat Boys are introduced as such but at that point they were still performing as The Disco Three. They don't come up with the name Fat Boys until later.
- Quotes
LL Cool J: Box!
[rappin']
LL Cool J: My radio, believe me, I like it loud, I'm the man with a box that can rock the crowd, Walkin' down the street, to the hardcore beat, While my JVC vibrates the concrete, I'm sorry if you can't understand, But I need a radio inside my hand, Don't mean to offend other citizens, But I kick my volume way past 10, My story is rough, my neighborhood is tough, But I still sport gold, and I'm out to crush, My name is Cool J, I devastate the show, But I couldn't survive without my radio!
- Crazy creditsThe name "Adam Yauch" of the Beastie Boys is misspelled as "Adam Youck" in the credits.

The movie itself is more or less a 95 minute concert with some acting in it. Blair Underwood was probably the only real actor in the entire movie. Being that this was his first movie, lucky for him it didn't kill his career. As poor as the acting was, I loved this movie. I totally understand that my affinity towards this movie is directly linked to my growing up in the 80's and listening to the very artists in the film. Each artists' appearance was an instant trip down memory lane. We're talking The Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow, The Beastie Boys, New Edition, Sheila E., Full Force, and even Donnie Simpson before he hosted BET.
I could go on forever about the movie and even though the movie was low budget, poorly edited, complimented with sub par acting, it is the memories that are evoked that makes me like it. Put this movie on my list of old school niche favorites with Beat Street, Breakin', and The Last Dragon.
