Wild Style: released 1983. 82 minutes.
Written, directed and produced by Charlie Ahearn.
Universally hailed as the classic hip hop movie, Wild Style captured the South Bronx pantheon of Hip Hop pioneers: DJ’s Grand Master Flash, Grand Wizard Theodore, D.St.; rappers Grand Master Caz and The Cold Crush Bros, The Chief Rocker Busy Bee, Rammellzee and the bboy champions The Rock Steady Crew. And of course the legendary Fab Five Freddy who developed the soundtrack along with Chris Stein from Blondie. Scratch mixed by Grand Wizzard Theodore.
Wild Style tells the story of Zoro played by the graffiti legend LEE Quinones, in his subway art romance with the graffiti queen PINK (Sandra Fabara). Fab Five Freddy, who helped Charlie Ahearn create Wild Style from its inception, stars as the smooth impressario PHADE. Following the outlaw artists through the train yards to the clubs, Wild Style climaxes at a massive outdoor jam. Definitely the most famous hip hop party in history!
