anyone remember "krush groove"? I know some say this movie is cheesy as hell, but I love it!! It reminds me of a time when rap was new and hip and actually meant something. There was no "murder inc." or "bling-bling", just ryhmin' and a boombox.
 I miss those days. Anyway, any of you guys like this movie?~KiKi | |

I wonder what Prince thought of his song being used in that...movie. I always thought Prince should have kept "A Love Biazzare". Did he ever record it in a studio. I heard him do a few seconds of it for "Purple Medley" and that was great! | |

Word has it that while they were shooting Krush Groove P was on the set almost every day , the others were complaining about him being there because of the crowd he was drawing at the time.

LOL! Excuse the re-post, but I just put this on another thread a few hours ago...
*** CalhounSq said: I was watching Krush Groove the other day, lol, the part where the Fat Boys are performing on the stairs @ school. It reminded me that rap used to be lots of things - intelligent, hardcore, serious, empowering, silly, FUN. Your FLOW was so much more important than your image - if you could move the crowd, you were cool. But there's no diversity anymore. I know times change but DAMN, everything has to be so "I'll shoot yo ass if you look @ me wrong" these days.
There's a few exceptions here & there but we'll never see such diversity again in the genre - fat boys rappin' about food, dudes in sweatsuits & hats rappin' about sneakers, a smooth brotha (w/ a bangin' curl, lol) rappin' about ruling the world, a scrappy kid rappin' about how much he loves his radio... Kinda sad  *** Now, about the movie: just got the DVD & watched it. I have yet to listen to the commentary but I can't wait!!  Yes, it's cheesy & downright bad in spots BUT it's great to have this time in hip hop archived, you know?
I don't know what's funnier - that hideous closeup of dude from Full Force or the Prince poster on the wall of Sheila's apartment!! 
And you know how you have to watch for LL roaming around in EVERY scene? WHY oh WHY is Chris Rock a fucking extra in one of the club scenes...   I'd NEVER noticed that until the other night...  I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

She HAS to feel dumb for her "Prince as an old man" antics. Hell, if Prince was there everyday was he coaching her on how to perform like him? Looks like she's trying some of his moves I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

I like 'Krush groove' but I always felt that it looked so amateurish,like they just got a bunch of the hottest rappers at the time and said "Hey,let's make a movie".I think they expected this film to be a rap version of 'Purple Rain',which may explain why they asked Sheila E. to co-star,and had Prince write and produce two songs.
As hip-hop movies go, I prefer the superior 'Beat Street' (1984).That film has a stronger story. | |

Speaking of early rap movies,has anybody ever seen the 1982 film 'Wild Style',which is now on DVD? I've never seen this movie but I have heard so much about it.It's considered a classic by many. | |
