While the music from the 'Wild Style' OST is truly seminal, the story behind it is even more fascinating.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eUnderneath the voices of important rappers from hip-hop's first wave \\u2013 Cold Crush Brothers, Double Trouble, Rammellzee, Busy Bee and more \\u2013 were a selection of backing beats that have underpinned and influenced a whole lot of hip-hop ever since. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eIt would be easy to mistake them for genuine breakbeats dug out of crates, but they're not. Overseen by hip-hop impresario Freddie Braithwaite \\u2013 better known as Fab 5 Freddy \\u2013 in collaboration with Blondie's Chris Stein \\u2013 the songs from the Wild Style soundtrack are all unique creations intended as a homage to the early breakbeats.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eDrummer Lenny Ferrari \\u2013 who had played for Aretha Franklin before emerging on the punk scene \\u2013 and bassist David Harper played many of the iconic grooves, two somewhat forgotten participants in shaping a legendary sound. They \\u2013 and Chris Stein \\u2013 weren't even in the same studio at the same time.\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eKenny Dope, a long-time fan of the music, later acquired the original reel-to-reel tapes from Charlie Ahearn, the film's director. Using the Wild Style breakbeats \\u2013 many just a minute or so long \\u2013 he transformed them into longer edits that give them more room to breathe. 'Down by Law' and 'Subway Beat' are two of the most famous, breakdance classics that summon up visions of graffiti'd trains speeding through the South Bronx.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55128085332353,"sku":"1388553","price":17.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/61ssbT4Z3yL._SL1500.jpg?v=1766752149","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1388553","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
