''Krush Groove'' is a , the Beastie Boys , New Edition , and the Fat Boys , and songs from the afformentioned artists as well as R&B artists such as Chaka Khan and The Gap Band . Krush Groove kept it real by filming in the Bronx, New York (including at least one scene in the Marble Hill projects), viewed in the hip hop community as the birthplace of rap music. Among the places where the movie was shot was the famous Disco Fever, a popular club during the embryonic stages of hip hop which, by the time of the film, had fallen on some hard times. In addition to bringing attention to the burgeoning rap music movement, owner Sal Abbatiello expected the movie to "bring attention {Link without Title} to the club" and agreed to have them shoot some scenes in the club. Unfortunately, the media surrounding the filming brought the attention of the local authorities, who shut Disco Fever down for good on the last day of shooting for not having all the proper licenses and permits. The movie was re-released on DVD in 2003. Among the special extras included on the DVD are commentary from Underwood, Schultz, and Source Magazine Senior Editor Brett Johnson, a theatrical trailer for the movie, and the Krush Groove All Stars video "Krush Groovin'". It has been widely rumored that director Spike Lee inquired about the possibility of working as an assistant director to help fund his film She's Gotta Have It , but didn't get the job.
