Hollywood Discovers Hip-Hop - Do You Even Binge? Ep 69
Do You Even Binge? Ep 69 This week, we take a look at Hollywood discovering hip-hop and explore the movies, history, behind the scenes facts, and unforgettable stories about the five-film crash course on how hip-hop went from a New York subculture to something Hollywood realized it could monetize. The Lineup: Wild Style (1983): Directed by Charlie Ahearn. The first hip-hop feature film, shot in the Bronx with a budget around $200K. Plot follows Zoro, an underground graffiti writer wanting to remain anonymous as the art world begins sniffing around graffiti culture. Stars actual graffiti artist Lee Quiñones, Fab 5 Freddy, Lady Pink, and Rock Steady Crew. Breakin' (1984): Produced by Cannon Films. About a classically trained white jazz dancer named Kelly who discovers street dancing through Ozone (Adolfo “Shabba-Doo” Quinones) and Turbo (Michael “Boogaloo Shrimp” Chambers). Earned $38.7M on a $2M budget and was inspired by the 1983 documentary Breakin' 'n' Enterin'. Beat Street (1984): Directed by Stan Lathan and produced by Harry Belafonte. Incorporating DJs, MCs, graffiti writers, and breakers into one narrative, this film uses graffiti as a major story device to depict rebellion, artistic expression, and tragedy. Rappin' (1985): Filmed in Pittsburgh and released by the same producer as Breakin'. Focuses on John Hood, a former prisoner who chooses rap music over violence to save his neighborhood from developers and gang involvement. Krush Groove (1985): Directed by Michael Schultz. Loosely inspired by the beginnings of Def Jam Records, this film skips fictional rappers to feature real-life hip-hop stars including Run-DMC, Kurtis Blow, The Fat Boys, and LL Cool J, with Blair Underwood portraying a fictionalized Russell Simmons.
