It's never clear what he becomes famous for, since he doesn't rap and other people do the dancing. Anyway, they have their show, and the promotor's boss decides that he's going to single Chilly out and make him famous - in spite of the fact the Chilly is objectively the *least* talented guy in the crew.

well, another review described it like your "uncle who thinks he's cool", but I disagree he sounds like someone who's *making fun* of your uncool uncle. Chilly himself can barely dance, and as for his rapping. He gets some lessons from some people who know how to break dance, and some of those scenes are pretty impressive, but it's strictly B-roll. "Chilly D", aka Lorenzo Lamas, is an aspiring "graffiti artist", but seeing he doesn't have a future there, he decides to make is as a "rapper and break dancer", and puts together a group of friends to impress a big promoter. My guess is that a bunch of old white guys decided they wanted to get in the "rapping and break dancing thing", but they were too frightened of minorities to let actual break dancers get too close and they weren't entirely sure what rap even was. It's hard to even describe this movie or how it came into being.
