wild style (1983)


"Watch out for the third rail baby, that shit is high voltage."
Zoro (Lee Quinones) is the Bronx coolest graffiti writer, due in part to no one knowing who Zoro is. But Zoro is conflicted, having lots of personal troubles, whilst trying to stay true to his art.
A classic not because of the story or the acting, but because it gives the truest view of the hip hop scene at the time, mainly due it packing in as many of the movers and shakers of the scene at the time, whether DJs, rappers, graffiti artists or b-boys. So we get legendary Grand Master Flash, the Cold Crush Brothers, Kool Moe Dee, and the Rock Steady Crew amongst many others.
