"Wild Style" was the first hip hop motion picture. Released independently in 1982 by First Run Features and later re-released for home video by Rhino Home Video, the movie featured Fab Five Freddy, Lee Quinones, the Rock Steady Crew, The Cold Crush Brothers, Patti Astor, Sandra Fabara and Grandmaster Flash. The protagonist is the legendary New York graffiti artist "Lee" George Quinones as "Zoro". The film has received a large cult following over the years after its initial release. Highly regarded hip-hop albums such as "Illmatic" by Nas, "Midnight Marauders" by A Tribe Called Quest, "Black Sunday" by Cypress Hill, "Resurrection" by Common and "Check Your Head" by Beastie Boys have featured samples from Wildstyle. Significantly, the MTA allowed director Charlie Ahearn to film in the actual train yards in New York City. In 2007, the VH1 Hip Hop Honors paid tribute to "Wild Style" in recognition of its influence upon the culture.The "Wild Style" logo on the film's cover was a massive mural painted on a wall by Zephyr, Revolt and Sharp.
