maybe you shouldn not compare and but wild style and style war be original hip hop . beat street do have a lot of the original artist of early hip hop and but they have be obviously make clear that this could be their big break and of course for some it be and that nice . but if you view this a original hip hop culture youre wrong . it overproduce and have a hollywood sauce . rather look for the first two movie i mention . they have convey the grittiness that come with life in the ghetto . yes and the rating for this movie be low and but the review be mostly positive or even rave . this be probably because although the story and the acting and the dialogue and the direction all be dreadful and the music and dancing be what the people love about it . me and i do love the dancing but at the time think that electro be the death of hip hop ( i be so glad when round 86 a new generation of now classic hip hop artist appear and like kr one and public enemy and ultramagnetic mc and jungle brother and bizmarkie to name a few ) and and i still do not like most of the beat in this movie and that be why it doesn not work for me . i mean and wild style have not much of a story but the music there be great and authentic . of course taste differ and that alright . but as far a i be concern and this movie be trash except for the break dancing and some of the music and so i can not rate it high than a 4 out of ten .
