It´s Krush Groove and Kurtis Blow, not Crush Groove , Curtis Blow.

It was a cult movie back in the day because movies with rappers were quite rare back then but in hindsight I find it a bit silly, especially the scene where Sheila starts rapping.

But I also miss that era a bit, the clothes, the jumpsuits, the music....good times.

As far as favorite scenes go, I don´t really have a favorite scene from this one, I was more into all those other HipHop movies such as WildStyle, Beatstreet and Breakin.

By the way, I once had a little argument with Kurtis Blow after a show because he was on stage with Grandmaster Flash and lipsynching to Melle Mel´s records. But people didn´t even notice.

...also Beastie Boys and some appearances by members of Full Force and Chris Rock

Great movie. The highlight might be the Fat Boys at Sbarro performing All You Can Eat.

I can't use the link because I have a pre-paid phone from TracFone. When I buy a android phone, I will have more data for internet access to be able to look at videos, YouTube, etc. When I watched the movie back in the day, I was happy to see all the Hip Hop artists/musicians together! ⭐💿🎸🎤💿⭐🛀

No problem- the link is to the LL Cool J scene where he auditions the song "Radio".

Btw....I have the Krush Groove soundtrack on cassette...

But in days of internet...it's also easy 2 get the music..

I recently got very much in2 these old hiphop films..are there other cool films....like this and the "tougher than leather" film (Run DMC, Beastie boys) ?

There are some cheesy, really corny ones such as Breakin and Breakin part 2 (Electric Boogaloo) that have some nice live scenes with Ice-T at the LA Radiotroon, and Rappin (with Mario Van Peebles....terrible movie but nice scene with Ice-T performing Killers), and of course BeatStreet and Wildstyle. Another good film is Breaking and Entering, which showcases the early L.A HipHop scene. It is more of a documentary than a movie and can be regarded as a predecessor to the Breakin movie.....basically the same people, but in a documentary (Ice-T, Boogaaloo Shrimp etc. ).

Oh...documentaries are cool..it's real and a time-warp.

(I just saw the Jean-Claude van Damme scene in "Breakin"...phew... )

What are some of your favorite scenes?

*Run on the phone ordering various colours of Adidas*
Sheila E.: Look, sneaker genius, we're over here trying to rehearse.
Run: Rehearse?
Sheila E.: Yes.
Run: Why don't you put a little RAP in there like my man D.M.C. then maybe you can get somewhere, know what I'm saying?
Sheila E.: Look, so what. Big deal, you can rap, but I bet you can't sing and dance.
Run: Who?
Sheila E.: You!
Run: Yo, she says I can't sing and dance. I'll show you sing and dance. Want to see me sing and dance?
Sheila E.: Yeah.
Run: Put that beat on; I'll show you sing and dance.
D.M.C.: Yo, don't forget to sing, man.
*Sheila E. starts the Linn Drum*
Run: Bust this. *RAPS*
You see I do not sing but I make a song/
You live your whole life and I hope you live long/
On The Gong Show I won't get gonged/
It's Run-D.M.C. not Cheech and Chong
Know what I'm saying?
ALL:

Of course Beastie Boys "Slow And Low" (1986) was ghostwritten by Run-D.M.C. and contained a similar passage.
I do not sing but I make a Def song
You could live your whole life and I hope you live long

On The Gong Show we won't get gonged
We're the Beastie Boys not Cheech and Chong

Run: Now let's see YOU rap.
Sheila E.: Anybody can rap.
Run: Go ahead then.
Sheila E.: Alright, I'll give you something. Benny, give me one of them sleazy sounds, ahh!
Benny: Alright. *plays "Holly Rock" electric piano chords*
Sheila E.: Lawd. Good gawd, wait! Everybody stop on the one, yeah.
*beat stops*
Sheila E.: Gimme two, yeah.
*Two keyboard stabs*
Sheila E.: Good gawd, good gawd.
*Beat and chords resume*
Sheila E.: Oh, it's greasy, ahh! Wait! *bent over like James Brown* Oh! It's too funky today, I can't! Ahh! Wait! *hands Run a drum stick* Here, maybe this will make you feel better. Check this out, ahh! Wait. I've got it. *RAPS AND BREAKDANCES*
I can sing, rap, dance in a dress or pants
I can rock your whole world if you give me a chance
I'm Sheila E. and my R.A.P.
is the best damn rap there could ever be
I've got a mass appeal, a little girl's smile
I make you happy, baby, all the while
'Cause I'm bad, good God
And if you a big enough stick, uh
Then come here Run, this is my house
Don't you wanna learn a new trick?
*slams drum stick on the floor*
YOU BIG KOALA BEAN HEAD!
