Greg F It's an absolute must see ONLY if you understand how much of a pioneer this film was for Hip Hop! The struggles were real! There will NEVER be another RunDMC! There will NEVER be another opening like when they performed It's like That! These MC's in this movie were the true pioneers to push Hip Hop world wide. If you must hate on this movie..you have no clue about Hip Hop Culture!! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/27/24 Full Review Levi M I felt this movie adeptly captured the abstract of a brief moment in history, when Hip hop music was making the waves that would become a global movement. In the original cast, these scenes show the bones of what modern cinema often hopes- and fails, to achieve. Quirky, but with a realness that is based in the very real portrayers of what seem to be, inter-sprinklings of the origins of Def Jam. The movie is Def(inately) worth watching, for the pure inspiration and creative spirit captured and in capturing: Run-DMC, Jam Master Jay, Sheila E, and Kurtis Blow, The Fat Boys all seem to have died, as did Jam Master Jay, and MCA, (RIP and thank you) who were captured in the essence of the original glory that was. 4.5 stars as an ode to the rocking world of hip hop, and may the eightfold post, inspire you to watch this gem. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/13/23 Full Review Audience Member That tomato meter score for this film is absolutely ridiculous. Most of the cast were music artists and the acting was still perfect. Give it the respect it deserves. That score should be at least in the 70s. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review delysid d the story sucks but the music is great. My favourite part is the fat boys Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/27/17 Full Review Audience Member I think God is testing you. Russell Simmons is the son of a preacher that dropped out of college his final year before graduating. He has since been working to make albums and start his own label, Def Jam. Meanwhile, as he struggles, he begins losing his artists to his competitors. Can Russell turn his luck around? "You never heard of us, The Disco Three?" Michael Schultz, director of The Last Dragon, Cooley High, Car Wash (1976), Disorderlies, Killers in the House, Tarzan in Manhattan, and Greased Lightening, delivers Krush Grove. The storyline for this picture is entertaining and unfolds well. The characters are dynamic and well written and the cast delivers better than average performances. The cast includes Blair Underwood, Run DMC, New Edition, Curtis Blow, and the Fast Boys. "We're the fat boys who like food." I came across this on HBOGO and knew I needed to see this all time classic. The movie isn't perfect but it does give an interesting glimpse back in a key time in the development of hip hop music as we know it. This was a very entertaining film and a great take on Russell Simmons. "A hit record is the worst thing that could have happened to us." Grade: B- Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member All musicians involved were pivotal characters in making hip hop what it is today. Acting is not particularly in most of the characters resumes so almost all are amateurly skilled. For hip hip fans it shows two different stories of the ups and downs of the art of rap. The Fat Boys are a very funny powerhouse but other demensions of the film take itself way to seriously. Has interesting aspects of a musical, not the greatest way to execute a 'hip-hopera'.
