WILD STYLE


For those craving the true roots of rap, Wild Style captured the hard core South Bronx scene at its birth. The stars of Wild Style form the pantheon of hip hop's pioneers: DJ's Grand Master Flash, Grand Wizard Theodore, D.St.; rappers Grand Master Caz and The Cold Crush Bros, The Chief Rocker Busy Bee, and RAMMELLZEE and breakdance champions The Rock Steady Crew. And of course the legendary Fab 5 Freddy.

Wild Style tells the story of the king of the subways, Zoro (played by legendary graffiti artist LEE Quinones), in his South Bronx art romance with the queen of the graffiti scene (played by another graffiti legend Sandra PINK Fabara). Fred Brathwaite (Fab 5 Freddy), who along with writer producer director Charlie Ahearn, helped create Wild Style, stars as the smooth hip hop impressario PHADE. Wild Style follows the outlaw artists through the train yards to the clubs. The movie climaxes at a massive out door jam, definitely the most famous hip hop party in history!

Wild Style was entered in The US Rock and Rock Hall of Fame as One of the 10 Best R&R Movies of all time!

Wild Style was presented by Source Magazine as The Best Hip Hop movie of all time!


Reviews:
"Long before G-funk or the Dirty South, hip-hop was as native to New York as CBGB's punk scene, and this 1983 drama is a paean to its early days. Trudge through the now-quaint plot — a romance between two graffiti artists — and you'll find exhilarating and rare footage of Fab Five Freddy, Grandmaster Flash and all the spray-painters, rappers and breakers who helped turn hip-hop from a South Bronx musical style into a cultural phenomenon."
