    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Several fights broke out between extras. Many Latinos were stating that Hip Hop was collaborated between black/brown while black extras argued that brown "influence" came later. The constant fighting caused so much tension on set that co-producer Russell Simmons grabbed a megaphone and shouted, "It's black invented, but now everyone is rocking to it. So lets stop fighting and finish this movie!" After Simmons made this announcement, cooler heads prevailed.
    • Goofs
      When the fat boys are singing all you can eat in the when they go to the cashier with the food if you look in front of the restaurant you will see a crew member standing at the door making sure nobody goes inside. You can also see people looking inside while the scene is being filmed.

      LL Cool J: Box!

      [rappin']

      LL Cool J: My radio, believe me, I like it loud, I'm the man with a box that can rock the crowd, Walkin' down the street, to the hardcore beat, While my JVC vibrates the concrete, I'm sorry if you can't understand, But I need a radio inside my hand, Don't mean to offend other citizens, But I kick my volume way past 10, My story is rough, my neighborhood is tough, But I still sport gold, and I'm out to crush, My name is Cool J, I devastate the show, But I couldn't survive without my radio!

    Some of Rap's first major players

    The storyline is a familiar about trying to make it big and how sometimes that means selling your soul to the devil but find redemption in the end etc. The difference here is many of rap music's early stars take a turn at acting. They do all right. I think that Blair Underwood inspired them to do a decent turn.

    The main attraction now is the nostalgia of seeing Kurtis Blow, Run-DMC, The Fat Boys and New Edition perform. Also there are cameos from the young Beastie Boys and a skinny LL Cool J.
