Wild Style – Wild Style Theme Rap 1 2

Description

Wild Style may well be the most iconic hip-hop movie of all time, while its soundtrack – created by Blondie’s Chris Stein with the assistance of Fab 5 Freddy and turntablist Charlie Chase – remains a touchstone in the development of the style. That soundtrack’s focal point was ‘Wild Style Theme’, a full vocal excursion featuring on-point raps from Grabndmaster Caz of the Cold Crush Brothers. This seven-inch presents both vocal versions of the track: an A-side mix full of cuts, 8-bit videogame bleeps, Blondie style drums, gnarled guitar riffs and weighty bass, and a flipside rework that sits somewhere between early drum machine hip-hop and the more organic end of the style, with a few nods towards the kind of organ-sporting funk and rock classics that partly inspired the sound’s creation.
