Like its progenitors Beat Street and Wild Style, Krush Groove is a movie about hip-hop that in its rush to document an emergent culture ignores plot, acting, cinematography, and anything else that makes a movie watchable or worthwhile. That said, Krush Groove contains some nifty performances from hip-hop legends Run-DMC, the always hilarious Fat Boys (see Disorderlies if you can't get enough of their weighty shtick), brilliant MC Kurtis Blow, and Prince protégé Sheila E. Also look out for soon-to-be L.A. Law-yer Blair Underwood in a lead role. Performances aside, Krush Groove isn't def, it's just so-so. --Ethan Brown

Customer Reviews

HOW CAN U NOT LOVE THIS MOVIE
THE STORY OF DEF JAM AND RUSSELL SIMMONS - COME ON NOW THIS IS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT WAS WHEN IT WAS FIRST MADE. IF YOU WANT SOME HIP-HOP AT ITS FINEST, THEN CHECK THIS MOVIE OUT. IT GIVES YOU LL COOL J, THE FAT BOYS, RUN DMC, NEW EDITION AND MORE DURING THEIR EARLY YEARS. THE LOVE SCENE BETWEEN BLAIR UNDERWOOD (RUSSELL) AND SHEILA E WITH "TENDER LOVE" BY THE FORCE MDS IN THE BACKGROUND IS STILL HOT.

good ole times
This video brought back a lot of old memories. It was great to see the performers in this movie and sing along to the old songs again.

Great delivery time, condition and product.
Not only is this movie a classic, but the delivery was fast and packaging was great. Product arrived unscathed.
