One of my favourite scenes from the film. The relaism in the scene, and indeed the whole film is what sets it apart from other breakin films just trying to cash in on the hip hop culture. It's like a heart beat, I'm talking about Beat Street!
Double K was his own MC! Got tha party started! This is what Hip Hop is. They got into an abandon building and turned it into a dance club, not a crack house as they rap about now.
Cazals, big ski goggles, scientist and surgical operation glasses were banging and fresh back in those days. Great outfits, I think I'm gonna get one of them but afraid of people's reaction on me. Beat Street forever!
when stealing electricity was legal....did anybody catched Doug E. fresh with that cold brew in his hand all yo breaking movies are bitters!!!!! nuff respect to wildstyles
I love the music mix in this scene of the movie(as well as the scene itself). For years I didn't know that was "Looking For The Perfect Beat' they were playing! It drove me nuts trying to find it!
Crossfader is to the LEFT of the headphone volume located in the middle of the mixer. The crossfader is NOT on the extreme right of the mixer. Notice how how it has the series of Up triangles from left to right indicating a volume increase and the headphone are plugged in right above it.
Anybody else notice when Lee starts dancing, his zipper is up on his jacket, then a cut to a different angle and its down, then its up again? 2:24 - zipper up 2:25 - zipper down 2:30 - zipper up 2:35 - zipper down
do you all know that at 1:50 in this clip..the guy with the glasses and the blue and black lumberjacket on..is Doug E. Fresh...it's amazing how young he was when this came out
im luvin all da comments!!!! Shit! I thought i was the only kid aged about 13 upwards that became quite obsessed by this film when i 1st saw it in 1987,purchased the subway art/spraycan art books.....& from 1991-97 i got arrested 4 times for graffiti vandalism but still to this day.....no regrets....massive life long influence back then & now! peace from london town! ;)
Not sure if you found out the name yet but it's Afrika Bambaataa - Looking For The Perfect beat it's the same song at both points it's just that it's the extended version. They play a snippet of it :)
@dayanefake THE SONG AT1:51 IS CALLED PLAY THAT BEAT MR DJ. BY G.L.O.B.E.AND WHIZ KID. AND THE SONG AT 2:01 IS CALLED LOOKING FOR THE PERFECT BEAT. BY DJ AFRIKA BAMBAATAA AND THE SOUL SONIC FORCE.BOTH OF THESE SONGS WERE ORIGINALLY ISSUED ON TOMMY BOY RECORDS.
Ignore my last post as I'm a div and I can't delete it. The track at 2.01 is the Afrika Bambaataa one but the track at 1.50 something is Globe & Whiz Kid - Play That Beat (Mr DJ). I've got both of these so I should have realised before :)
like much of those abandoned burnt out buildings....they've all been torn down & new developments & businesses have been built since the 80's when parts of the bronx looked like it had been nuked....massive clean up's & zero tolerance on minor crimes like graffiti on trains have been enforced but you can't help but notice that that grimyness & lack of control was what made hiphop & the bronx what it was....that was the backbone & heart & soul....so much creativity from so much deprivation
Bro... I appreciate that... But it's a movie.. .Actually this is a movie that was the catalist for the Hip Hop Movement... I think I watched it 5,000 times as a kid back in 1986.. Thanks for pointing that out... Have a good day brotha
just like me in bro in thoes days He would be like you cant come to the party and then i come any way and turn that shit out !! then when the honeys would be like is that your lil bro ?!!! Props all day!!
@scratchatune Most of them are still around, a couple from Rock Steady Crew were murdered, a lot of them are teaching, some still performing around the world. I was a young man, and we battled in every single party, on the streets w/ cardboard, and even on concrete. We were very serious, dancers.
@FinestFellaz Actually, Play That Beat Mr DJ is on here. here's the link---> /watch?v=gnN8E-UHNXU. It sounds different in the movie because it's playing at a faster speed.

"well if u really, really came to party, then let me hear EVERY-BODY...say we came to par-tay!"
he was talking about the Goggles Lee is wearing
like much of those abandoned burnt out buildings....they've all been torn down & new developments & businesses have been built since the 80's when parts of the bronx looked like it had been nuked....massive clean up's & zero tolerance on minor crimes like graffiti on trains have been enforced but you can't help but notice that that grimyness & lack of control was what made hiphop & the bronx what it was....that was the backbone & heart & soul....so much creativity from so much deprivation

That glide combo at 2:25 is nasty.
