Product 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.

    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

    2 out of 5 stars It's Just Alright.......2006-10-23

    This movie was alright, but not something I'd like to watch again. Once is enough. I never knew Sheila E. had starred in "Krush Groove" and it was kind of weird hearing her rap and mingling with hip-hop artist. She really looked out of place. Other than that, this movie isn't anything to write home about.

    5 out of 5 stars Still Good .......2006-02-24

    If your between the age of 25 & 30 and saw this movie years ago.
    It will bring back great memories of your childhood. The cast is pretty much made up of rappers and rap groups of hip hop past. So it's worth it just to see all your favorites of yester year, before it was all about shoot em up and other nonsense

    5 out of 5 stars Hip Hop Classic!!!.......2005-12-13

    Radio, A Love Bizzare, If I Ruled The World, All You Can Eat........you can't stop the streets and the groove with the greatest hip hop movie of all time, Krush Groove!!!!! Other than Shelia E's terrible acting, the movie was a classic and a must buy. Before the dvd release, I thought I would never see this movie again, but now, I'm sure glad I purchased it. "KRUSH GROOOOVVINNNN' BODY MOOOOOOVVVINNNN"!!!!!"
