THE WORST

KEEP IT OLDSKOOL PRESENTS 

The worst Hip Hop Movie of all time 

Rappin was released in 1985 Starring Mario Van Peebles, Eric Lasalle, Kadeem Hardison and  Rutanya Alda. The movie had a cameos for Singing mcs The Force M.Ds  and Ice T. This movie directed by Joel Silberg and written by Adam Friedman and Robert Litz (exactly) was about and ex-convict who is back from jail where somehow he was was able to get hair care products takes on the big bad developers and neighborhood "gangsters". Once you get past the cheesy cliched story, you have to try to stomach the just AWFUL rapping of Mario Van Peebles as "Rappin John Hood"  During the early 80s young people like myself couldn't wait to see any movie that had "breakin" or "Hip Hop" in it. But even back then we knew this movie was a waist of 90 minutes. After watching the movie we had to immediately listen to RunDmc or someone who could actually rap to get the sour taste out of ears. I see that the movie actually made more than a million dollars. I am guessing that there were a lot of "Timmy's and "Betsy's" with maybe one or two"Jamal's"  in the theater.
