Movie Info

In-between rappin' numbers by groups like Run-DMC and The Fat Boys, an almost unnoticeable plot unfolds as manager Russell (Blair Underwood) desperately looks for funding to press more records for Run-DMC's first hit. This gets him into deep water when he borrows from the wrong man and then is left behind after his performers hit the charts and are off on a better life. But all is not lost, after more rap and rock by everyone, the clan returns with salvation at hand. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, Rovi

Made in the mid-80s as a cash-in on the hip-hop explosion, the movie plays better now than it did then

The birth of "hip-hop". Like watching old home movies and cringing over the outdated clothes and hair styles. Fun performaces from some of the original rap/hip-hop artisits, when the genre was still light hearted and enjoyable.
