Synopsis
Krush Groove’s story revolves around the lives of a batch of “talented street-smart urbanites” who are struggling to make it to the top of the hip-hop food chain. Blair Underwood plays Russell Walker, the brother and manager of the up and coming rap group—you may have heard of them—Run DMC. Through various contests and tournaments, Run DMC (along with the Beastie Boys, the Fat Boys, Shelia E., and Kurtis Blow) attempt to land themselves a recording contact and make it to the big time. Along the way, they encounter shady deals, sleazy record producers, hot women, out of control egos, and def music. —DVD Verdict

Whichever way one looks at it: Either... A) It was the first mainstream narrative film to take hip hop seriously or... B) It was the first film that presented hip hop culture that broke into the mainstream... In any measure, this significance outweighs its quality as a film. Today it's a little more than an interesting curiosity. However, it IS a lot of fun pointing out so many early hip hop icons at such a young age
