@@sr166 you ever notice Latinos don't get credit for their contribution to Hip-Hop from it's inception and are called guest in the culture. Many of the folks in these comments aren't aware of the 6 elements of Hip-Hop......the Ghetto Brothers, break dancing, fashion, etc.......... All many folks only embrace is the Music aka RAP music because that's what they were taught or grew up only knowing. That's why Drink Champs is so important. I'm pretty sure the brother mentioning that he only knew LEGS from a videogame is fairly young.....the only elements we see embraced in hip hop is the music.....we used to get the Street Fashion too......we don't even get that as much anymore.

"You did an anti-drug commercial...high..." with Kurtis Blow. So dope 😂😂😂 Love the question NORE asked about why the hip hop scene is so huge overseas compared to the US. I feel also the marketing of "rap" in the US and prioritizing it and commercializing it affected it too. It's so dope to go to Denmark and Italy, etc and see how they live the real culture there. And it is sad that so many in the newer generation don't know or understand hip hop history. Yet, old school rock stars are worshipped and known globally, it seems.

True
Sad but it seems like these people want to disparage what occurred before 1975 because they weren't a part of it. As someone who's family migrated from Santurce to 170 st and Davidson Avenue in the Bronx, this is where the cultural disconnect may come in because they don't understand the environment coming out of the civil rights movement of the 60s and what we were listening to in the hood. James Brown was king. Only thing about 77 that was noteworthy was the blackout and yes things changed because dudes stole equipment. I remember Legs from the Roxy. Get people on the show that were there to clear up the speculation from the youngsters like Caz, Legs, KRS1, Fat Joe and others that were either too young or not part of it.

@@jayjones251 Hip-Hop is more than just music. Like Bambaataa has already defined, and any real fan of Hip-Hop already knows, there are 5-6 elements of Hip-Hop. 1) DJing 2) MCing 3) Graffiti 4) B-Boying 5) Beatboxing 6) Culture. If Hip-Hop music started around '75, and Crazy Legs started B-Boying in '77, then Crazy Legs has been Breaking for 46 out of the 48 years that Hip-Hop music has been around. And even before 1980, it was fully recognized that he was one of the best at that time while he was the creator of the windmill and backspin in 1979 when Hip-Hop was only 4 years old. So why isn't Crazy Legs one of the pioneers? Hip-Hop wasn't even fully formed into its own culture until Bambaataa started inviting all of the different elements to parties one or two years later.

This is the most Hip Hop episode I have ever seen. Appreciate it yall.
The best interview yet followed by DMX. So much stuff in this related to me as a white boy living in the hood. Especially, the feeling of being unwanted & victimized. There is a lesson of respect that is earned that is not spoken about. In my case, i was a punk rocker that did shows in his house with a crack house across the street because who the fuck is gonna call the police. It’s crazy that back then when i was younger, i had the balls to identify & approach the o.g.’s if any of my crew had problems with the hood crew. I am not trying to go out on a tangent but it all boils down to a level of respect regardless of how superficial it might be because it reflects on self preservation. The part where Crazy Legs talks about dancing with inner pain, that’s the shit that got us by at DIY underground hip hop shows
Didn’t know I need this interview 🙏🏽 Hip-Hop👐🏽
Fab five needs to be on Drink Champs🔥🔥🔥
I enjoy the entire interview. I'm 58 years old so I'm from that era of hip-hop and breaking.

All the "false" and "misleading" Rap and Hip-Hop history started with Afrika Bambaataa and the Universal Zulu Nation.

One of the Best interviews 👌 Thx Drink Champs
I hope they get this history right. Cause disco king mario moved here from North Carolina. I ain’t mad at them not allowing themselves to be erased as long as it’s not at the cost of erasing somebody else.

@@absolute7250 of course it’s intentional Bam created a narrative that everybody decided to run I remember when him and Herc use to argue over when hip hop started and celebrated separate days he tried to make hip hop something so deep and conscious but didn’t do nothing but create confusion now in 2023 instead saluting the ppl that were there and move it forward we having silly arguments about who participated in the beginning
WHAT CRAZY LEGZ INTERVIEW I CANT WAIT LEGENDARY!
The legendary Crazy Legs and the Rock Steady Crew big shoutouts to all of them guys because if it wasn’t for them I probably wouldn’t of never tried Breaking or B-Boy thing and I’m grateful for learning more about them and the struggles man on my soul that’s real hip hop and soul 🙌🏾😎💯
Legs 🦵 is a legend. The Rock Steady Crew are legendary! 🔥
This is a dope interview 💪🏾
Dancers know music to say the least. So I believe crazy legs definitely knows hip-hop and it origins.
This was beautiful at the end thank you Drink champs
My favorite one yet a Hip-Hop heads dreams interview!!!!
Respect to him and other Puerto Ricans along with Black Caribbeans who contributed to Hip Hop but Hip Hop was created from mostly if not fully Black American culture. People need to also stop trying to claim that somebody being "Black" automatically makes them the same as a Black Americans as if they can take credit for creations that came from the Black American ethnicity simply because they're apart of the so called Black race or mixed with another Black ethnicity that's not Black American.

Salute to Crazy Legs! Absolutely a legend!
The first division I’ve seen in hip hop was on drink champs when busta came here saying hip hop is “Jamaican”. That drew a hard line. And that was a lie that didn’t get checked. Till now.

@Combat Sosa Disco King Mario was born in North Carolina in 1956 but moved to the Bronxdale Housing projects in order to escape working cotton and tobacco fields. He was an original member of the Black Spades, which is how his connection with Afrika Bambaata came about.
Good points about the elements of hip hop ❤️❤️❤️ 🔥🔥🔥
Greatest interview ever ⭐️💯🙌🏾
Great interview & hip-hop lesson!
classic! Crazy Legs is a HIPHOP GOAT
Hip hop was just as it is today a majority Black American thing and others are guests & came to be apart of it and enjoy!
Woow best episode! I learned so much history with this one!
Great point Crazy Legs made when he referenced the Philly boxer Gabriel Rosado....
Latino Hispanic whatever tf ain't start or create hip hop. Tethers. Stop the cap.
This is the most beautifullest thing! Nore n EFN are certified 🐐 s, they 10000% going to hiphop heaven.
Dope interview wow crazy legs !!! Shout to you Brody !!!! 💯⭐️

That's what I tell everyone! The DJ was the MC/Rapper.. There was no Standalone rappers at that time.. I'm 65 and people like me and Crazy Legs are the one that should be at the table explaining Hip Hop.. The episode on Drink Champs were they interview "Tank" he said people that 65 should only talk about Smooth Jazz??? Which made no sense because we was the ones there at the beginning of Hip Hop.. I mean My Generation created Hip-Hop.. He acted like we was 65 during that time?
