[JEDI7ACEN]

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.

[tekiup]

@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.

[ollielife1]

[normalisforlosers]

[FunkyRob]

I wore nothing but Puma sweat suits for 2 years after seeing this movie.

[Thunkle]

43 year old DJ here...found a flaw. Anybody catch it ? When the DJ says here's a little scratch...that's NOT the cross fader. That's the headphone volume "L" Ooops. Used to use that exact mixer.

[yocos10]

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

[djskizmarkey]

get your eyes checked cuz im a dj too and thats definately the cf,sorry but you made me check 2ice

[Thunkle]

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.

[SouthFlingaBoy]

thanks for all ^^

[SouthFlingaBoy]

whats the name of the song from 2:01 ??

[GoTransit]

Looking For the Perfect Beat by Afrika Bambaata & the Soul Sonic Force -- One of my All time Favourites. -- Also look up Planet Rock (same artist) Play at your own risk - Planet Patrol, Electric Kingdom -Twihlight 22, and of course Al-naafiysh - Hashim - Classics in this style of Hip Hop

[sugarshark26]

[Razorblade12161216]

[skaterdj67]

[JordanXL]

I have chills running through my body as I think back on those days. I remember being in my 3rd grade talent show and I had my puma jump suit on lol! Lee walking into the party with his big bro mad at him, and then he suddenly makes him proud.... Best scene in a movie! Maybe because those days were just so much fun :)

[sagasaga76]

[barbakew1]

It's Jazzy Jay - Son Of Beat Street. If you mean the bit Beat Beat Beat Street :)

[barbakew1]

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 :)

[Boogalix]

That glide combo at 2:25 is nasty.

Any1 have the Roxys audition, those two young poppers are crazy as well :-)

[bustingcaps]

Hi guys. I would like to ask you something about this genial film and specially this little section.

Some of you know...

What is the name of the songs at: 1:51 and 2:01. I know that the first one perhaps is from Arica bambaataa, But the name is PLAY THAT BEAT???, ok, and the second?

Regards and kisses.

Dayane falkhen H.

[NYhope07]

searching for the perfect beat

[distortedvuze]

not sure what its called its in my attic wrapped up, but its from the first "tommyboy" album

which is a double album, mostly white cover, with blue and red on it, if i find a link ill forward it to you, to down load save you buying it!

[barbakew1]

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 :)

[MrDjDaredevil]

@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.

[liv2play8]

i have this dvd at home along witt krush grove and lee was ma fav. person in this movie

[thrashpunk4]

Sweeeeet pop lockin' moves by Lee! Old school! This is THE best break dance movie!

[ELECTROROCK2009]

the guy in 1:33..lmao

[aupian94]

Cool this is where it started especially Africa Bambaataa music and stealing electric just to party hehe!Good ol days.

[FCAopium]

heyman, i was 10 years to watched first time,and for me it was the beginning in hip hop, just like an orgasm to writing and b-boying, the 80` s was wild, but the 90`s was so intensive in train-writing in germany, europe, italy,...

[dustindiamond1]

I was 15 when that came out, white kid from the 'burbs, and I was in awe. I'd never seen any dancing like that (except in Breakin!) I learned to pop and lock back then, and thought the Bronx was a cool place I wanted to visit. Twenty years later I got my chance, working with some youth at a tiny church in a neighborhood just like this!

[nevawrong]

i sware to god, that when this movie first came out, i was 12 years old, and my mother to me & 2 of my best friends 2 go see it, but the tickets was sold out, lol, that damn line was packed, so u know what movie just came out that same time that we had 2 go see instead??, "GREMLENS", lol, & that shit pissed me off, i sware this is a 100% true story, lol

[jamaresmith]

yah them was the days...lee ripped it! hahaha i like how he walked in and blew up the spot hahaah.

[buggeazy]

in the movie he lived on that block so you know he had to represent lol

[jamaresmith]

for real...damn thats tite!

[buggeazy]

NICE MOVES BY LEE REMINDS ME WHEN I USE TO POP LOCK IN THE LATE 70s I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO BATTLE HIM

[ivnp71]

breaking in 1984!!  it brings me good memories!! old school 4 ever!!

the film beat street the best ever!!

best wishes from the canaries (spain)

[cellmass08]

beat street,dont get a job,dont have a brain,beat street.Spend my last remaining money on spray cans and spray trains,beat street,take crack and cocain,beat street,Living out of garbage cans and ending up dead,beat street.

[JLil]

[ItachiChaos]

Did any1 notice that when lee starts to break his jaket is zipped all the way up but at 2:24 till 2:28 his jacket is open,and then closed again in the next shot of him?

[knark666]

Nope, didn't notice. I guess I get laid too often.

[MISTERMINLEY]

[nikitobu]

Itachi: Samething happened when they battle at the Roxy they edited all the moves and put them together, too bad that scene was short!

[Mixedbreed3]

The guy in the glasses at 1:50 is not, I repeat is not Doug E. Fresh. He is an extra in this film only.

[gr187]

It is too Doug E Fresh...look at the person when they do Santa Claus is on Beat Street..and Doug E Fresh comes out below the dude..and beat boxes...it's the same person in the blue and black lumberjack jacket..

[bpte30]

it can't be doug.e fresh unless doug.e fresh could break

[gr187]

it is Doug E Fresh..you must be looking at wrong guy...cuz the buy in the blue and black lumberjack jacket isnt' breaking

[micr0cosm]

the dude is an extra and is NOT Doug E.

[MissSheilaBeila]

I coulda sworn that was Doug E. Fresh right there all these years. Dammit!

[gr187]

It is him...that micr0cosm peson is wrong..

[gr187]

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

[dirtydee28]

days long gone movies were real back then.

[Mixedbreed3]

[CJEEEEAZY]
