Rare Robert Taylor aka "Lee" From the 1984 Hit "Beat Street" Talks Rumors And Explains Facts

Robert Taylor is not "Lee." Yes, he starred in the iconic film "Beat Street," a movie that changed the world and stamped Hip-Hop into pop culture. But the man and the character are two very different stories. In this rare and powerful interview, AllHipHop sat down with Robert Taylor to talk about Beat Street, the behind-the-scenes drama, and what it really meant to carry the weight of being seen as "Lil Lee." He explains, in vivid and lucid detail, how he became a reluctant icon. A father, a businessman, and a man who’s grown far beyond that character arc, Taylor reminds us he’s more than a role he played 40 years ago. The truth is, Robert Taylor rarely does interviews. But in this conversation, he opened up in a way that will resonate far and wide. His fans create art of him, tattoo his likeness, and recite his lines word-for-word. This is all because of a 1984 film. And at the heart of it all, that’s what Robert just wanted to dance.
