Members<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\nRodney Cee (Rodney Stone)
\nKK Rockwell (Kevin Smith)<\/strong><\/p>\n

These two were originally members of the group Funky 4 +1.<\/a> KK Rockwell was an original member and Rodney Cee joined after another member left.<\/p>\n

These two never recorded any studio tracks but are featured several times in the film Wild Style<\/a>. <\/em>Both appear at the amphitheater show.\u00a0 Rodney Cee battles Busy Bee near the beginning of the movie.\u00a0 KK Rockwell also lends a hand to some of the DJ tracks.<\/p>\n

They released a 12 inch single on Capitol records as well as a handful of tracks for Enjoy none of which captured the energy they had in Wild Style<\/em> or with the Funky 4+1.<\/p>\n

They later recorded under the name of\u00a0 “The Deuce” and had a minor hit using same lyrics from the stoop scene in Wild Style<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the early 2000’s one of their more famous routines was used by the group Black Star.<\/p>\n

The majority of “Stoop Rap” from Wild Style<\/em> was sampled by Fat Boy Slim aka Norman Cook for his Beats International project on their record “Dub Be Good To Me” (Go beat 1990) which was a cover of the S.O.S. Band’s\u00a0 “Just Be Good To Me” . It was a massive hit in Europe.<\/p>\n
