Documentary Film from the Classic Hip-Hop Era.
Live from the Roxy 1983.

This is the complete historical performance of ground breaking live footage featuring 1983 B-Boy Crews: The Magnificent Force, Uptown Express, The Fantastic Duo, The Flash Dancers, Larry Watson and Jason Twigg, The Heartbreakers and The Dynamic Breakers.
This B-Boy Contest was hosted by Leslie Uggams, co-hosted by Carlos De Jesus and includes Celebrity Judges Anita Morris, Hershel Walker, Debbie Morgan, Darnell Williams, Earl 'The Pearl' Monroe, Disco Fever Owner Sal Abbatiello, WABC News Anchor John Johnson, Saturday Night Fever/Beat Street Choreographer Lester Wilson and Artist Lillo Thomas.
Also features a short introductory documentary on the early HipHop culture featuring interviews with Afrika Bambaataa and other members of the Zulu Nation.
On top of all that it includes a 1983 "Burger King HipHop Commercial" from the airing, which was purposefully included to complete the throw-back vibe. The winners of the contest received $2500, an appearance on "New York Hot Tracks" and a key roll in the movie "Beat Street".
Enjoy!
