Review of Krush Groove (1985) by Mwalim P — 23 Jul 2007

Okay pop quiz: What current popular record label is the film's title a 1980's hip-hop way of saying? A new generation of hip-hop fans will watch this movie and ask, "Is that Kanye West with a gheri curl?" Let the movie open on Run DMC and Kurtis Blow in the old Rogue Recording Studio that used to be in downtown Manhattan (later scenes in Planet Studios located in the basement); and a Silver Cup Studios rebuild of the old Disco Fever and boom, you have a movie that tells us about how hip hop was made.
