Beat Street or Breakin'

I can't decide. When Special K showed Rae Dawn Chong he was sampling a leaky faucet it changed my life. I went home and started recording myself beat boxing through a harmonica.

But when I saw Breakin' for the first time at the end the theater crowd erupted and started a massive dancing circle in front of the screen while the credits rolled, I haven't seen a movie impact a crowd like that since.

I don't know. They were both insane.

    Beat Street was it for me, i was about 11 when i saw it (85 -ish), i watched it with my babysitter at the time, he rented it from somewhere...i remember thinking it was so cool because i had never seen anything like it...that was probably my first exposure to hiphop, a few years later i saw it on TV one late night and remembered why i though it was so cool at the time...

    i saw Breakin' later...around 89 or so and although i was still into b-boying, it never really stuck me as a movie that i felt i needed to watch again, i was so hooked on Beat Street and i thought there could never be anything better...until 92 when i saw Wild Style for the first time..

    Beat Street! I still have the tape from when I was 7.

    One of my few fond memories of my dad when I was young was renting me breakdancing VHS tapes.

    Thanks Pop! and lock.
