The 1979 documentary "80 Blocks from Tiffany's" is a fascinating slice-of-life look at two South Bronx gangs, the Savage Skulls and the Savage Nomads. Although this isn't the most hip hop film we've ever discussed, there are some interesting tidbits about the conditions from which hip hop emerged. Topics discussed:There isn't much plot line or narrative, but the glimpses of how these gangs operated are entertainingWe enjoyed the scenes with local resident Joan ButlerThere are a few examples of hip hop elements - can you spot them?If you do watch this film, watch Rubble Kings afterAlso check out: Our episode on Rubble KingsCreditsHip Hop Movie Club is produced by your HHMCs JB, BooGie, and DynoWright.

THE VIBE with Kelly Cardenas Presents David ‘DEZ' Zambrano is an artist in the DMV area, originally from Los Angeles. DEZ has made his mark in the sneaker community as one of the best custom sneaker artists in the world. He does this for a living having worked with companies like Adidas, Under Armour, MLB, NFLPA, NBAPA, and professional athletes from almost every major sport. This does not take away that DEZ is also an incredibly diverse artist, specializing in canvas art, murals and more. His first love for art began at an early age, was cultivated at home, and exploded when he watched the classic hip hop movie Beat Street. There began a love for graffiti, urban art, bright colors and passionate statements through color and contrast. Growing up in Virginia and riding the red line to Silver Spring on the weekends to see his father, DEZ was exposed to some amazing street art. He has no formal training in art and is almost entirely self taught. When you see DEZ's artwork you'll immediately get a sense of emotion. Vibrant colors, dark contrast, splatters and knife strikes make up a small part of the arsenal DEZ uses to create stunning images. What can only be described as URBAN CONTEMPORARY or STREET ART, his pieces are something you need to witness in person.

"Ich würde jedem raten, mindestens eine Nummer am Tag zu tanzen" - Vor 40 Jahren schwappt eine rhytmische Welle aus den USA über den großen Teich. Und auf der wird getanzt. Zwei Filme bringen einen neuen Trend nach Europa. Und auch wenn das ganze bereits in den 70ern von Jugendlichen in Manhattan und der Bronx entwickelt wird, so sind es die Filme "Breakdance Sensation 84" und "Beat Street", die Breakdancing zwar nicht salonfähig aber weltweit bekannt machen.

Kadeem Hardison plays Professor Gardner, a college literature professor in the current Showtime series The Chi. Hardison became known for his role as the fast-talking, flip-sunglass-wearing, girl-watching "Dwayne Wayne" on NBC's hit show A Different World alongside Lisa Bonet, Jasmine Guy and Debbie Allen. This role made him an instant ‘90s icon and a memorable television figure, and he even directed several episodes of the show. Before his breakout role, Kadeem began his acting career in 1981 on the ABC After School Special The Color of Friendship. Kadeem most recently starred in Moonhaven for AMC, was a series regular on Teenage Bounty Hunters for Netflix and recurred on the comedy series Black Monday for Showtime. In 2018, he starred in Love Is… for OWN. He also starred in Disney Channel's K.C. Undercover opposite Zendaya for three seasons. He has guest starred and recurred on various shows such Grownish, NBC's Parenthood, The CW's Supernatural and the CBS comedy 9JKL, Between Brothers and House M.D, UPN'S Girlfriends and Everybody Hates Chris on CBS, along with many others. Kadeem made his motion picture debut in Stan Lathan's 1984 adaptation of James Baldwin's classic Go Tell it on the Mountain and worked again with Lathan that same year in Beat Street. From there, he took several comedic supporting roles in films such as Spike Lee's School Daze, Keenen Ivory Wayans' Blaxploitation tribute I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, and Ron Shelton's White Men Can't Jump.

Let's wrap up month one of the Black History Month Marathon with a movie that I have never seen! Anita really wanted this and Chris didn't want this at all! Since Anita hated Beat Street, I figured this would be more up her alley and I was right because the whole time she was hype and she even remembered seeing this in the theater. TWICE! We also let Chris know that he's accidently created a catch phrase for himself, I learn a new way to go shopping and I have a new impression to add to my repertoire! Thank you for listening.

It's been so long that i've wanted to get Beat Street on the show! Even more fun is that Anita and Chris have never seen it before. Very curious to see if it does anything for people who weren't there in the 80s and aren't big fans of old school hip hop like me. You know I got my nerd on and dropped knowledge as much as possible, you know I played some music and I may have just made Anita a Kool Moe Dee fan! Anita was also very annoyed by two of the central characters in the film so we had a lot of fun this week. We hope you enjoy the show.

“Her voice is the voice of the fountain of youth and her musical spirit lets you drink -- from her voice, from her dance, from her spirit. And Jenny Burton becomes Isis incarnate.” ~Laurence Holder, Routes Magazine Jenny Burton had a long and varied career as a superb vocalist working successfully in Dance Music, R&B, Gospel and Inspirational Music. In the late 80s and early 90s Burton had four national number one R&B/Dance hits -- "One More Shot," rose to Billboard's number five slot and led to Burton's first major-label solo deal. Atlantic Records released her first LP, "In Black & White," which included the hit single, “I Remember What You Like". “Bad Habits,” off her second album was a #1 dance hit in America and rose to #12 on the R&B charts. She has to her credits as well two gold records from films -- Harry Belafonte's Beat Street and White Nights starring Gregory Hines and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Moving more into an Inspirational direction, she created with producer/composer Peter Link, The Jenny Burton Experience, an award winning Inspirational group ran for seven years to sold out standing room only audiences at New York City's "Don't Tell Mama". The Jenny Burton Experience also opened at Trump Marina for Al Green, performed with The Gap Band and Morris Day and The Times at The Indianapolis Black Expo for 80,000 people, opened for Stevie Wonder at Lincoln Center in NYC, and completed a one month run headlining at Resorts International in Atlantic City, the first Gospel group to ever headline in Atlantic City. Then she went away for 17 years and worked on Wall Street.

Can't stop the music, Fast Forward, Urban Cowboy, Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, Beat Street, Staying Alive, Fame, Flashdash, and Dirty Dancing. Nine dance movies from the 80s that ALMOST had it all. What are they all missing? Kevin freaking Bacon! If Kenny Loggins' guitar made love to an American flag, their love child would be Footloose. Sprinkle in some Jon Lithgow and Diane Wiest, and you've got yourself a timeless hit. Ecclesiastes assures us that there is a time to every purpose under heaven, a time to laugh and a time to weep, a time to morn and there is a time to dance...and there's also a time to talk about Footloose on Buzzn The Tower. I'm Mo Shapiro and joining me as almost always the Willard to my Ren, Max Sanders and with that...
It's Just Begun....that song should have been used in the Roxy battle scene according to the Beat Street dancers. As one of the all time great breakdance tracks, it would have been epic. Hollywood always wants to have its own way though, and Arthur Baker's Breakers Revenge became iconic despite that overruling. That factoid is one of many that I forgot to offload during this episode. I was delirious about doing Beat Street for weeks and still couldn't get it right. Kool Moe Dee making his first appearance on film in the Christmas Rap with the Treacherous Three, sans his trademark sunglasses that never came off again. Let's just say that I couldn't hit the ass end of a bull with a hand full of sand. It went on and on and on, reminiscing in our nostalgic glow over a movie that felt like an artifact-like documentary of a golden era. Admiring one of the only truly American art forms beyond jazz. Created partly due to a lack of access to the disco phenomenon during a particularly bleak time in New York City. The Boogie Down Bronx is a real thing, and 1520 Sedgwick Avenue is its mecca. Watch the movie, read some hip hop history, see Steven Hager's Village Voice article on September 21st 1982 called "African Bambaataa's Hip Hop", search his script "Looking For the Perfect Beat", image search Jamel Shabazz.....I need to lay down.

Cities that reflect and project, the music created on their turf, in their clubs, garages and studios. When it comes to reggae music it's the fabled Orange Street in Downtown Kingston, a sacred strip just north of parade that has been accurately referred to as “Beat Street.” Rootsland is produced by Henry K Productions Inc. in association with Voice Boxx Studios in Kingston, Jamaica.

We're joined by Mr. Eon of The High & Mighty, who sits with the crew to discuss one of hip hop's greatest eras. We hear stories about how it started for them, the Masta Ace beef, working with Bobbito, The Alchemist, Rashida Jones, Beetlejuice, Kool Keith, Pharoahe Monch, Eminem and Cage. During the late 90s and early 00's, Eastern Conference Records was a staple in independent hip-hop. Who better to tell vivid tales of the indie hip-hop movement than one of the guys responsible for it? What made this era one of the greatest? The music was fresh, innovating, original, honest and most importantly fun. D-I-Y in full effect. Record stores in full effect. Online chat groups where you shared music was definitely in effect. That feeling of excitement while scarfing down a slice of pizza or Gray's Papaya because you couldn't wait to see what Fat Beats on 6th Ave had. When Fat Beats wasn't enough for your fix, you went to the LES to peep A-1 or took the iron horse to Fulton Street, to check out Beat Street and grab a treat from Juniors after. The days in New York during the indie hip-hop movement were magical. Now, let's re-live those memories and magic this era gave us.
