Man that wasn’t hip hop in its purest form are you kidding me go look at sasa and Trixie this was the 80s that rolled in the gangster rap the shit we have now these guys were t really bboying they don’t dance to beats the core of bboying is dancing to the beat that’s not what these kids Latinos started to do the are doing acrobats with no music how can you be a bboy with no music!

Ahh, I get chills remembering these days 🔥🔥🔥

Men those times..back and forth from the island to NY, bringing back the fresh new records, the fresh new moves , the fresh new kangols and colorful LEE pants back to the island..cardboards, boombox with homemade equalizers put on them. The L'tigre shirts, fat shoelaces. The innocent jaranas or day partys, the cans of spray to make pieces of fresh beauty on the walls..nothing and no one can take that away from me and many of us. Seeing these documentaries make me wanna get down one more time to the floor.

When I was 5 or 6 I used watch my older brother do some breaking in the military base in Germany back in 1984.

"why is my brother throwing himself on the floor, and embarrassing my family " 😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😂😅😂😅😂 so funny!😅😅😅

Break comes from the break in a disco record, mixed back to back to make a hip hop beat. Dance to the break

Best memories from age 13-15 dancing in the underground clubs when the djs would come down from New York

Hiphop went viral before the internet. It’s Gods gift to our generation.

Nothing better than a battle in a bronx basement

Why is my brother throwing himself on the Floor and embarassing my whole Family?! I laughed so hard! Golden!

B-boying or breaking, also called breakdancing, is a style of street dance that originated primarily among African American and Puerto Rican youth, many former members of the Black Spades, the Young Spades, and the Baby Spades, during the mid 1970s

All the cats that were members of the New York City breakers lived in the north Bronx, area called Kingsbridge. There were no abandon buildings there. I know, I was there. I lived in the building across from Noel. Let's get the story straight yall.

Crazy Legs was the first B-Boy name I ever heard, and I always liked his clean style and the good vibe. Breaking changed my life in 1984, Adelaide, South Australia. RS performed at the Old Lion in my home town and I went and soaked it up. Boogaloo Shrimp and Poppin' Taco were also idols. Thanks, guys.

i knew a lot of b boys before Crazy legs : Trac II its one of the first i used to watch him, footwork outside of Roosevelt High like in 78 before it was called breaking in 81 ,,,,i also got down ,,in my block used to see the early pioneers crews like Salsoul & crazy commandos ..before the media stage before the Rock steady crew was even known anywhere,

Yesss that's what I'm talking about the hardcore bboy reprezentin Oxford from 1980 - 2024 and beyond it's the hip hop culture

Hey does anyone know the name of the song that is playing during the ending credits?

We can’t thank them enough. Geeeez.

As much as I was a Bruce Lee fan, he didn't influence my dancing. I was a huge fan of Martial Arts films, but it was Frosty Freeze who was really pushing the idea of using elements of Drunken style into breaking.

They forgot the other 50% and without women watching and encouraging then this was another dead end music style. But I'm old and I recall uprocking and how all this started before 1970s. The real question is did B-Boys mean bronx boys, break boys or Battle-Boys. Doesn't really matter since it was a way to get the energy out without resorting to physical gang violence, although the times its still broke out should be mentioned too.

I used to sneak into clubs here in Florida underage and break pop lock n win dance contests...

DJ Kool Herc’s main innovation that contributed the basis of Hip Hop is called ‘breaking’ aka the ‘merry go round’, which is combining and repeating instrumental breaks in order to make a rhythmic base.If] you talk to Grandmaster Flash, Kool Herc or Afrika Bambaataa or any of the early DJs they all talk about the breakers, who in the ‘70s and ‘80s were mainly Latinos, and keeping them happy on the dance floor. If you talk about some of the famous break crews who really broke through and got known by the early ‘80s, the majority were Latino dancers like Rock Steady Crew’s Crazy Legs.
