Editorial Review:
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.
Description of Krush Groove:
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

Fantastic musicians and dancers in New York
2008-08-28 - Run DMC, Sheila E, Fat Boys, Kurtis Blow!!! Dance music goes Hip Hop!
This movie tells the story about Russell Simmons and the efforts he did to put his own label in the history!
All the things happening in New York in that early '80 are pure creativity together with the will of launching a seed!
This movie is history! This movie is fun! This movie is love!

old school krush
2008-07-30 - I saw this movie in june 08 on TVone; I hadn't seen this movie since it came out back in the 80's. I love watching Ron's house, LL cool J and all the old school rappers in the movie are still doing their thing today. Fresh, Clean, Understandable Rap with meaning and a purpose. Rap back then made you want to do better not like SOME of the Rap Music today which can make you want to have sex, kill somebody, or promote hate, if you can understand the lyrics at all.
Great Movie
Where is sheila E. now? lol
