Beat Street

[Jadell]

Heya guys. Quite a few years ago I was lucky enough to go out for dinner with Arthur Baker, who produced most of the tracks in Beat Street (as you all probably know), anyway - I asked him about the tune that the Fantastic Duo are dancing to, that later appears briefly in the Kool Herc 'Burning Spear' club....it took him a while to remember what I was talking about, but it turns out that it was just an instrumental that he made for Beat Street, and it never actually got a release. Annoying.

[johsanchez917]

Awww...shucks. You left out the best part!

[siamezefloyd]

My Mom, WANDA DEE is Hip Hop's 1st female DJ (see "BEAT STREET"), 1st female inductee into The Universal Zulu Nation by her DJ mentor, AFRIKA BAMBAATAA himself, the 1st glamorous female rapper, the 1st female rapper to go platinum, & that was all in the 80's. In the 90's, she went on to become the lead singer / songwriter of the British Techno/Pop group, THE KLF, w/25 million records sold, platinum in 77 countries & SRO shows in 90 countries, 150 cities & 6 continents; she is truly The Goddess!

[mrtsmith1972]

Wanda D is the DJ!

In the same audience, TINA B sings "Nothing's Gonna Come Easy". This scene does not appear in here

When I say "she's in not a chick" is understood "treat her like a lady"

[maze70]

Well, this movie came out way before you were born, but props to you for giving it a look, most kids your age don't realize where hip hop came from.
