1993 was a keynote year for the "hip-hop movie." The term, although never officially coined, became a popular when movies such as CB4 and Who's The Man hit the big screen,  A Bronx Tale was definitely not one of them.

For starters, the movie took place in the the segregated sixties - two decades before hip-hop even took its first breath. There isn't a h movie's score and soundtrack contained no rap music, and remember, this is an era way before the term rapper-turnt-actor became popular.

Twenty years later its easy to see how hip-hop has adopted A Bronx Tale into the culture. There enough lyric references to go around - vocal samples have been lifted from movies, and a handful of "A Bronx Tale" song/mixtape titles.

In the past we've celebrated the important anniversaries of album releases, producer's birthdays, and even movie releases. So without further ado, enjoy this latest mix - celebrating the 20th anniversary of A Bronx Tale.

THE BIG THROWBACK DJ PHURTY

Grandmaster Flash- Adventures On The Wheels Of Steel -Freddy Fresh Remix

[Intro]
Summer heat on my block today
Got that feeling everything's gonna be okay

[Verse 1]
Woke up to the sound of speakers being set
Kids already playing, mamas cooking, you can bet
Mr. Johnson from next door bringing out his grill
While my cousin Tony's setting up his turntable skills
Every single neighbor pitching in to make it right
Even Mrs. Peterson baked her famous apple pies, aight
People I ain't seen in months coming through to say hey
This the kind of happiness money can't buy today
See my old friend Marcus rolling up with ice and drinks
While his brother Jason got the basketball, what you think?
Little ones are jumping rope, some are drawing with chalk
Big kids playing double dutch, everybody wants to talk
Unity in my community, that's what makes me smile
Gonna keep this vibe forever, let it last a while

[Chorus]
When my people come together, ain't nothing better
Block party happiness gonna last forever
(When we come together, ain't nothing better)
(Block party happiness gonna last forever)

[Verse 2]
Four o'clock and now the party's really getting live
DJ spinning classics that make everybody rise
Uncle Pete's doing his dance moves from back in the day
While Aunt Marie's telling stories making everybody sway
Smell of BBQ floating through the summer air
Everybody eating good and willing how to share
This the type of day that makes me forget my stress
When we all unite together man we truly blessed
Looking 'round I see the smiles on familiar faces
No fake love here just genuine embraces

[Breakdown]
[DJ Scratch: "Block-block-block party!"]
Let me tell you 'bout this feeling
[Scratch: "Happiness!"]
Can't nobody take it from me
[Scratch: "Together!"]
This is what we live for
[Scratch: "Family!"]

[Long Rap Verse]
Now let me break it down and paint this picture crystal clear
About how my block became the spot that brought us all right here
Started early morning, saw my neighbors one by one
Setting up their tables, getting ready for the fun
Miss Garcia brought her famous rice and beans to share
While little Tommy and his crew set up the chairs with care
Pastor Williams blessed the food before we all dig in
And that's when magic started happening, now begin
To understand this feeling deeper than just having fun
It's generations coming through since way back when it begun
My grandma used to tell me 'bout these parties long ago
Now I'm living in that moment, letting happiness flow
Every single person got a story they can tell
About how this block party rings just like a freedom bell
Teaching kids our traditions, showing them the way
How to keep the spirit living strong another day

[Chorus]
When my people come together, ain't nothing better
Block party happiness gonna last forever
(When we come together, ain't nothing better)
(Block party happiness gonna last forever)

[Outro]
As the sun goes down, we still ain't ready to quit
'Cause this kind of happiness, yeah, this is it
