The companion volume to one of hip-hop cinema's landmark soundtracks. Released in 1984 alongside the breakdance film that brought South Bronx culture to mainstream audiences, Beat Street Volume 2 continues where the first record left off — electro, early rap, and street funk from artists including Grandmaster Melle Mel, Cindy Lauper, and the Treacherous Three. It's a vivid document of a cultural moment still finding its commercial footing, caught on wax at precisely the right time. This VG+ copy plays cleanly — an essential piece for the hip-hop historian, electro collector, or anyone serious about early 80s breakdance culture.
