This film was recommended to me by a fellow user and old-school fan on this site and I made an effort to seek it out despite having never heard of it. Meanwhile, on the outside looking in, the Disco 3 look for a way to get signed. With nowhere else to go he turns to a local loan shark to get the money, however it coincides with tensions with his brother Run. Russell Walker is riding the wave of the hip-hop wave, with the new single from his group Run-DMC getting lots of heat on the street problem is he just needs a little money to get more prints made to profit on it. Put this movie on my list of old school niche favorites with Beat Street, Breakin', and The Last Dragon. I could go on forever about the movie and even though the movie was low budget, poorly edited, complimented with sub par acting, it is the memories that are evoked that makes me like it. We're talking The Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow, The Beastie Boys, New Edition, Sheila E., Full Force, and even Donnie Simpson before he hosted BET. Each artists' appearance was an instant trip down memory lane. I totally understand that my affinity towards this movie is directly linked to my growing up in the 80's and listening to the very artists in the film. As poor as the acting was, I loved this movie. Being that this was his first movie, lucky for him it didn't kill his career. Blair Underwood was probably the only real actor in the entire movie. The movie itself is more or less a 95 minute concert with some acting in it. I remember dying to have a pair of Adidas because of them. Run DMC didn't invent rap but they sure took it to another level. Krush Groove featured maybe half of the known rappers from that era. Krush Groove is a magnificent tribute to rap and the pioneers of rap. I almost forgot how incredibly dope, fly, def, and funky fresh Run DMC were especially DMC!!! DMC held it down! I remember DMC's rappin and how it had a hard edge to it, but his character had the same hard edge to him as well.
