This opening credit gave the impuls to the rest of the movie. Up till now I still get goose bumps and feel to listen to it when I need a boost of energy. This is the power of the streets and of all artists. This opening credit is the soul thanks to the powerfull lyrics 🙏🙏
That’s when Hip Hop was Hip Hop . New York City Breakers at their best R.i.p Glidemaster . Jazzy Jay put a hurting on this track . Till this day “ Son of Beat” is still mean. Come back 1984 💯✌🏾💯✌🏾.
I am of Brazil, state of Sao Paulo and was b-boy. Beat Street is without doubt the best film of hip-hop culture of all time, in my opinion not Tera another movie like this that marked both a generation and still attracts many young people of today. A man to begin to be b-boy he must attend beat street.
0:37 - 0:40 Lee looked so SO smooth with that Tut move right there. Others have made that move but Lee (Robert) looked extra smooth with that head bop.
I remember being a breaker in Ireland, living in Shannon near the Airport, we'd get all the Cool tracksuit s in from the state's, there was always a relation working in the airport and could get us the street threads from NYC
Son of Beat Street instrumental version, the actual,theatrical release could & should have been at least a Triple ST release, or re-release, even a German remastered Double CD I bought in 2005 cut a few of tracks! Millions of us out here with more cash than ever & can’t get all the full length tracks/ Mixes, soundtrack should include every bit of the Music in a film, mixed or straight version.
The M. C. voice during the opening credits is NONE OTHER than DLB (The Microphone Wizard) if The Fearless 4. I know this because it is me. In fact, I was hand picked for this gig by the legendary Harry Belafonte In the closing credits did not use my stage name ( for some reason) instead using my full government, which gives my initials “DLB”. Thanks to all of you who enjoyed my performance and have maintained fond memories of this work.
Only now in Dec. 2021, 37 ( Edit here Oops 38 ) years on from the time this would’ve been filmed, I noticed the Lino in DoubleK & Lee’s bedroom is the same as the intro sequence, little details
Unfortunately, the Original Version was never on Vinyl. Like exactly this Version. Or basically i never found the Original Version. And also the Lyrics are not available. "You gotta believe in something, you gotta believe in someone..."
The dancing is taking place in Union Square 14th Street. I think the rest of the film is mainly in the Bronx/South Bronx where graffiti first started. The breaking battle between RSC and NYCB took place at The Roxy club which is no longer in existence but was in Manhattan.
so glad to have experienced this growing up.
i remember seeing this for the first time in the cinema.. the feeling will never go away great memories
Miss the Wisdom in Hop Hop Music. Jazzy Jay, you did a amazing Track. Still get goose Bumbs when i cross Union Square. 35 Years Later...

This intro is like a warm hug.
I can't stop watching 0:37. It's just too smooth. Do it, Lee! It comes at a perfect time of the song too...that break beat scratch.
0:44 is smooth too.

😂Not Spider D, either.
DLB of the Fearless Four

Neither is true. It is ME, DLB of the Fearless 4
