Wildstyle - The soundtrack and the movie
Posted: Tue Jan 04, 2005 11:13 am
This was the first classic rap album
some of the best and most timeless beats ever
people could come out over these today and they'd still sound fresh.
It's a shame that rap pretty much moved on to the whole electro thing just after this album had dropped as it was when people were using live instruments to create a more hard sound
instead of the previous in-house bands at labels like Sugarhill and Enjoy merely replaying classic breaks
a Melle Mel album over these type of beats woulda been ridiculous.
And as for the movie
so many classic scenes and snippets of dialogue :
Where Zorro/Lee goes back to his bedroom only to find his brother Hector there - "What the fuck is that du-rag on your head?"
Any scene Busy Bee is in - his battles, the limosene and the hotel with the chicks, where he's givin' out flyers and his final apperance on stage at the amphitheater.
Where Lee, Zephyr, Fade/Fab Five Freddy and Patti Astor are in the train yard. "you gon' make money like Barry White, maaannn"
The Coldcrush VS Fantastic five battles at the Dixie and on the basketball court.
Where the stick-up kids roll up on Lee and Patti Astor only for Fab Five Freddy saves the day - "you heard it on the radio, you seen it on the tv show..A to the k.. A to the muthafuckin' C".
Patti Astor attempting to dance with Rock Steady.
Where Chico is talkin' to Lee about Lady Pink - "i heard she be givin' that out to all them graffiti guys".
Flash cuttin' up "mardi gras" and "god made me funky" in the kitchen.
Where they're at the art gallery and Lee is explainin' rap music to the old grey skinned cracker square. "Say HOOEEEEEE".
Double Trouble rhymin' on the steps.
