WILD STYLE (1982)

CHARLIE AHEARN

Plot

The original hip-hop movie and the first to portray MCing, turntablism, graffiti and break dancing; the ultimate rapper's delight, which spawned countless inferior copycats. Set in the mean streets of early '80s New York, the movie ostensibly follows graffiti artist Zoro (Lee Quinones) as he artfully avoids arrest, but really it's all a damn good excuse for a storming soundtrack featuring the cream of Old Skool legends including Grandmaster Flash, The Rocksteady Crew, Double Trouble and Cold Crush.
