Description: In this movie based on the life of Russel Simmons, hot young record producer/manager Russel Walker has all the hottest acts on the record label Krush Groove records. The acts include Run-DMC, Dr.Jekyll and Mr. Hyde and Kurtis Blow. When Run-DMC has a hit record and Russel doesn't have the money to press records he borrows money from a drug dealer/loan shark. At the same time Russel and Run are both competing for the heart of Sheila E.
Amazon.com: Like its progenitors Beat Street and Wild Style, Krush Groove is a movie about hip-hop that in its rush to document an emergent culture ignores plot, acting, cinematography, and anything else that makes a movie watchable or worthwhile. That said, Krush Groove contains some nifty performances from hip-hop legends Run-DMC, the always hilarious Fat Boys (see Disorderlies if you can't get enough of their weighty shtick), brilliant MC Kurtis Blow, and Prince protégé Sheila E. Also look out for soon-to-be L.A. Law-yer Blair Underwood in a lead role. Performances aside, Krush Groove isn't def, it's just so-so. --Ethan Brown
Fantastic musicians and dancers in New York Run DMC, Sheila E, Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow!!! Dance music goes Hip Hop! This movie tells the story about Russell Simmons and the efforts he did to put his own label in the history! All the things happening in New York in that early '80 are pure creativity together with the will of launching a seed! This movie is history! This movie is fun! This movie is love!

old school krush I saw this movie in june 08 on TVone; I hadn't seen this movie since it came out back in the 80's. I love watching Ron's house, LL cool J and all the old school rappers in the movie are still doing their thing today. Fresh, Clean, Understandable Rap with meaning and a purpose. Rap back then made you want to do better not like SOME of the Rap Music today which can make you want to have sex, kill somebody, or promote hate, if you can understand the lyrics at all. Great Movie Where is sheila E. now? lol
HOW CAN U NOT LOVE THIS MOVIE THE STORY OF DEF JAM AND RUSSELL SIMMONS - COME ON NOW THIS IS AS GOOD TODAY AS IT WAS WHEN IT WAS FIRST MADE. IF YOU WANT SOME HIP-HOP AT ITS FINEST, THEN CHECK THIS MOVIE OUT. IT GIVES YOU LL COOL J, THE FAT BOYS, RUN DMC, NEW EDITION AND MORE DURING THEIR EARLY YEARS. THE LOVE SCENE BETWEEN BLAIR UNDERWOOD (RUSSELL) AND SHEILA E WITH "TENDER LOVE" BY THE FORCE MDS IN THE BACKGROUND IS STILL HOT.
good ole times This video brought back a lot of old memories. It was great to see the performers in this movie and sing along to the old songs again.
Great delivery time, condition and product. Not only is this movie a classic, but the delivery was fast and packaging was great. Product arrived unscathed.
