While the actual plot carries about as much weight as ‘Beat Street’ or even the Fat Boys vehicle ‘Disorderlies’ – and the acting is also nothing to write home about – \u003cstrong\u003ethe soundtrack is an indelible classic\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat the film and its soundtrack caught was a moment in time and some key performances from \u003cstrong\u003egenuine pioneers\u003c\/strong\u003e instrumental in the nascent hip-hop scene. And the influence has passed down through the ages, with rhyming couplets from the ‘Wild Style’ album still cited today, and \u003cstrong\u003eNas\u003c\/strong\u003e drawing on a snippet of the film for the opening track of his one true classic album, \u003cstrong\u003e‘Illmatic’\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat’s unusual about the soundtrack – and evidenced on the tracks showcased here, available for the time on 7” since a 1983 Japanese release – is that it didn’t draw on the tried-and-tested breakbeats that many of the artists featured on it would have cut their chops on. Charlie Chase, whose slithery scratches adorn both sides of this record, would have been used to going back to back on the records captured later on the \u003cstrong\u003e‘Ultimate Breaks \u0026amp; Beats’ compilations\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstead, the music is produced by \u003cstrong\u003eChris Stein of Blondie\u003c\/strong\u003e in collaboration with \u003cstrong\u003eFab 5 Freddy\u003c\/strong\u003e, drawing inspiration from those earlier breakbeats, with drums provided by one Lenny Ferrari. Here, \u003cstrong\u003eGrandmaster Caz\u003c\/strong\u003e of the legendary \u003cstrong\u003eCold Crush Brothers\u003c\/strong\u003e is at ease over both sides, the music evoking the sound he would have rhymed over at the block parties where he built his reputation. It’s a moment trapped in amber – you can’t listen to this 7” without imagining a graffiti strewn subway car in New York.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nHFilDSZx6I\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/T_MrzXXU67Y\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e","brand":"Wild Style","offers":[{"title":"Vinyl 7\"","offer_id":58738451644800,"sku":"MRB7203","price":6.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0972\/1384\/1792\/files\/MRB7203WildStyleThemeRap-Shopify-Square.jpg?v=1787214204","url":"https:\/\/vinylvers.com\/products\/wild-style-theme-vinyl-7","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
