All the old original b-boys would talk about Wild Style, Style Wars, etc like they were Citizen Kane, Jules and Jim, and The Godfather all rolled into one. They’re wrong. Beat Street’s only got two good scenes.  One of which is a 30 second clip of Brenda K Starr performing Vicious Beat. I’m guessing, like almost everything else in the film, it’s produced by Arthur Baker. I can’t find the track anywhere on 12″, MP3 or tape. Does anybody on the world wide web know where I can find it?

The other good scene, The Roxy battle,  features Rock Steady Crew and the NYC Breakers in a breakdancing contest. I’ve already blogged about that before. So here are the NYC Breakers a few years later wearing tight trousers.
