Back in 1983, Hip-Hop could do no wrong. Testament to this statement would be Charlie Ahearn's film "Wild Style." The videos "Buffalo Gals" and "(Hey You) The Rock Steady Crew." And Afrika Bambaataa & the Soulsonic Force‘s “Looking For The Perfect Beat” record. In the latest installment of Red Bull Music Academy‘s “beat:repeat NYC” video series, legendary music producers Arthur Baker and John Robie intimately discuss the making of their 1983 classic “Looking For The Perfect Beat.”
Major props to Red Bull for such a well crafted and culturally significant video series. And much love and respect to Arthur Baker and John Robie for all the perfect beats.
