Beat Street movie locations, 40yrs later (1984-today)

The Beat street movie is the most Iconic movie in the history of Hip Hop. It captures the early days of HipHop, graffiti and break dancing . It also captures the Bronx in one of its worst decades in New York City history . The 80’s was a time of neglect, poverty and uncertainty in the Bronx . This video compares the Bronx in 1984 with the Bronx of 2025. A holistic change has taken place in the Bronx as the city was restored . By comparing streets of the Bronx with then and now , my goal is to create a nostalgic feeling of blessings and love .
Public figures like Nas, kurtis Blow, Grandmaster Flash, Rock steady crew, Mele Mel, Us girls, Tina Marie, Brenda K. Star, Robert (Lee) Taylor , Charlie Ahearn , crazy legs, Doug E. Fresh , jellybean Benitez , New York City Breakers and others can benefit from this video.
I would like to invite content creators and public figures from all platforms , both big and small to take a journey through time and let this video be a witness to the Bronx of yesterday . RIP to Harry Belefonte and shout out to everyone in the cast of the Beat Street movie .
Riding motorcycles is my passion. I incorporate motorcycle riding in all of my videos as that is my means of transportation while riding to these film locations.
The Moto Turd channel is a blend of Motovlogging, touring and oral history. These elements is what creates my unique content creator style.
Movies like Wild style, style wars, Fort Apache the Bronx and Breakin’ are also referenced in this video
