  • yo singjiya,ur an ass head,you cant really beleive any of tha stupid shit you bin sayin,if ur gonna try to "diss" hip hop u shudd at least kno wat ur talkin about,mc hammer has never started ANYTHING besides wearin those giant baggy pants!hahahaaa

    this one video may be from 80's but this shit iz still alive and evolving,itz a whole fuckin culture u kno nothing about,i hope you die young.

  • Still avoiding fessing up to your more than ten lies so far, can't even be a man about it, and your English really does suck.

  • singjiya you're a retarded ass motherfucker, go kill yourself jackass

  • You write better than me and your from Korea?

    That is a White man wrtiting do you have a lover around the house helping you with your english? Anyway hip hop is dead you should really learn the art of Hard House with music like Donky Rollers, Jump Style is better than, popping and Breaking. Eropean do it all the time and they look better in pairs, Youtube it and find out for yourself where the real dancers are, not 80"s old stuff. You need to get over this breaking your parents will be proud

  • Again, more of your idiot remarks. I clearly stated I was born and raised in America, in Hawaii, and that I only moved to Korea three years ago. I said I was Korean by blood, but grew up in America, why do you keep lying?

    Read my comments again, I didn't make it confusing, I said what I said straight out, and you continue, lying, and lying, and lying.

  • And breaking only died out in the media, you don't even realize it's population expands beyond house dancers, or any of that other stuff, the only difference is, it's not televised on TV. Especially here in Korea, breaking events are government sponsored for crying out loud. Battle of the Year alone, a bboy international competition, has 20

  • different countries show up competing, and those 20 different countries have their own preliminaries, because there's hundreds of crews in each country that have to be eliminated before they can even get to the main Battle of the Year, with thousands in the crowd.

    Again, how old are you, and please tell me why you keep lying? Honestly, where did you

  • get that "gangster Herc living in California got Hammer in to gangster rap" nonsense you said before. He's ALWAYS remained in the South Bronx, and never was a gangster, had no affiliation with Hammer, was there before Hammer. Where did you get Hammer living in the Bay Area in street life, when he's living a family life and is a Christian preacher on big Christian television.

  • I'm surprised that you're still not fessing up to that nonsense you said, you know you were wrong but you choose to avoid admitting it.

  • LOL WTF are u on?!

  • Homofirearchy: I saw your vids is slow in again man you move like a Turtle especially your up rockin. Did you learn at La Fitness because you move like an old lady?

    Your move are basic anyone can do those, do you have any hard stuff or is just the same but in differnt venues?

    I did not know you were white, you sound black like trying to hard.

    The worst thing in the world is a White breaker that know black history. I lay down cash that you watch BET on a regular basis.

  • Oh my gosh, I'm a little worried, I think you're not a liar, but that you possibly just have a weird way you process things in your mind.

    I'm full blooded Korean, nothing about the way I look is white, you can see my asian facial features clear as day, you are a very strange individual.

  • As for my moves, yeah sure, anyone can do handstand pushups on chairs, gymnastic planche variations, one-armed freezes, and hang from poles and street meters horizontally right? Anyone can just flip on their head, do air suicide deadman drops, and sweep swipes with ease?

    You constantly say things that make no sense and have nothing to do with reality, I

  • suggest you really take a look at yourself, and I'm curious as to how old you are, because even teenagers wouldn't be as daft as you've shown yourself to be.

    And by the way, I'm not "up rocking," I'm toprocking, uprocking is a totally different from of dance from breaking you moron, but yet again, you don't see reality, you see your imaginary fairy tale world.

    As for the speed of my toprocking in most of

  • the beginning of the video, I'm breaking to a pretty slow paced drum beat from a song called "Better than life," (the music I edited over is LL cool J's Mama said knock you out, but the original music I danced to while filming was better than life) so I'm moving according to the pace of the music, see because in dancing, you move to the music's tone, you don't just move to the drum beat in your mind, as it seems you move

  • to an entirely different drum in your crazy mind.

    Wow man, that's the first time anyone has called me white, I'm so Korean I used to have my own acronym in middle school, S.E.G.A (small eye gang association) lol.

    Man, are you really this stupid or is everything you've been saying intentionally a joke?

  • And no, I'm not trying to be black, the way I talk, comes from where I actually grew up mixed with other things. I grew up in Hawaii, and the areas I went to school had the majority of the kids being from welfare government housing projects, the "ghettos" of Hawaii. So there was a whole mixture of slang with ebonic influences used in the everyday language.

    Also, I go to actual hip hop events, the

  • culture of hip hop I'm involved in speaks like this in many parts, and the guys that speak like this are majority latino if anything from Florida or New York. So I'm not faking anything, the way I speak is a product of the different parts I grew up in or cultures I'm involved in.

    I don't even catch BET because I moved to Korea three years ago, and I never watched

  • it while in America either. The reason I know about hip hop history, is from being around other hip hop heads in the underground scene I was actually involved in, unlike you getting your fake pop "hip hop" from MTV and Vh1.

    And to let you know, hip hop culture's most dominant ethnicity in America for a long time, has been the Latino community, not the blacks. And the majority of the breakers from the late 70's and 80's were Latino,

  • including a caucasian white guy named "Mr. Freeze" of the legendary Rocksteady crew.

    The whole perception you have of hip hop being only a black gangster thing, is because you don't know real hip hop, you know Nsync pop hip hop from the commercial media.

  • would destroy you in a battle with your tail between your legs. You might beat me in being more feminine and being more like Aaron Carter, but in raw and real dancing with flavor, I would kill you, including my tricks and power.

    Hi I was just wondering are all Break Dancers Concieted or just you?

  • First fess up to your constant pathological lying, before you start throwing cards of morality on people.

    Should I list them?

    1.  You claimed Mc Hammer created breaking, uprock, and started up bboy Crazy Legs. You were proven wrong.

  • bwhwhaa

  • 2. You claimed DJ Kool Herc lives in California, that he's a gangster, a good friend to Hammer, and got Hammer in to gangster rap. You were proven wrong in EVERY one of those false statements.

    3. You claimed breaking started in an...old woman's Ymca class in Oakland. No, it started in the South Bronx and uprocking was there before Hammer was ever born.

    Those are only some of the lies you made out of nowhere, fess up to those, then we can start talking about me.

  • Is that you in the Video with the Blue MC Hammer pants on, that poping stuff is lame, looks gay too! Are you Gay?

  • lol, what are you talking about, I'm wearing regular blue jeans that are not anywhere near even being baggy, let alone parachute pants.

    Wow, you just lie every minute, did your parents disown you?

  • hey idiot, I think you clicked the wrong youtube page moron. I'm Holyfiremikey, you clicked on "thabuckest's" youtube site, and watched his gay popping stuff.

    You can't even click the right button, you're not even at my page. I'm not popping in jeans in my video, I'm breaking, thabuckest who's also on this comment section is the gay guy popping.

    Dang man, and if you're going to reply, click "Reply" next to my name on the right, you are computer illiterate.

  • holy fire suck a dick your not a fuckin hip hop historian

  • Okay, if I'm not spitting real hip hop history, back up what you're saying and prove my points or facts wrong. If you can't, you're the one fronting, and just saying random insults like a child, because you can't think of actual refutes to my facts.

    Finish high school, your cafeteria chocolate

  • milk lunches, then come and talk. If you're up for it and you can show me age doesn't matter here, be a man, and state true facts to shoot out my statements as false like an adult, or just sit there making "nanny nanny boo boo" insults with no actual real points.

  • Hahaha, here you are talking all hard, I saw your videos, doing your gay nsync dances in your white preppy dress shirt.

    I better watch out, you might tell me to "bye bye bye," or you might start a boy band, that will sing pop songs to scare me.

  • And if you feel like saying, "I bet you can't dance gay like me, so be quiet insult insult insult with no facts cuz I'm five years old,"

    I have a video up on my site of my dancing, I would destroy you in a battle with your tail between your legs. You might beat me in being more feminine and being more like Aaron Carter, but in raw and real dancing with flavor, I would kill you, including my tricks and power.

  • Does anyone know what year it is? I think it is 2008 last time I checked.

    Why have a passion and know all the names of the players when its like been 25 years ago?

    You need to move on and let it go, your like what now 45? Get a life nobody cares about this CRAP anyway.

    Your not impressing anyone throwing around names like you actually know the people.

    True Breakers laugh and the history buffs and its actually anoying having you types around, asking stupid question and awnswing them

  • I'm 23 you idiot.

    Secondly, so because it's 2008 it's okay to make fake stories up? You're saying Mc hammer created breaking, I showed you with facts he didn't, so because the facts are old it means you can make up lies?

  • You have no logic, if you are around my age, you really are retarded, and I hope you live with people to help feed you so you don't spill on yourself.

    So it's better to have you types around, saying a guy who came 15 years AFTER breaking was created, is the creator of breaking? Saying DJ Kool herc was a

  • gangster that got Hammer in to gangster rap and currently lives in California, when Kool herc never was a gangster, never lived in California but in the Bronx, and was never close friends with Hammer like you claimed.

    You're a dirty liar, one of the most dirtiest, a pathological liar, how can you

  • just make stories out of thin air and not take responsibility for it when shown you're clearly wrong, and I'm sure you knew it was a lie the whole time, but you felt like saying more lies, because you're a pathological liar.

  • so by your logic, I can say Michael Jackson founded China thousands of years ago, because, it happened a long time ago and it's 2008, so that old stuff doesn't matter?

    No you idiot, it doesn't matter if it's 2008, that doesn't mean you can lie about historical facts you STUPID idiot.

  • Man, MC Hammer is King, now go smell each others buy after some Crazy Leggs and up Rocking!

    Another king of Rap is Flavor Flave! And it TIME for you to give it up!

  • Yes, Public Enemy I can respect, they were part of real hip hop.

    And whether you believe Mc Hammer is king or not, doesn't prove or do anything for your argument that he created breaking, because breaking was around made by others before him, and uprocking was around before Hammer was born.

    You need to just go to a mental health clinic, because I seriously think there is something mentally wrong with you.

  • Mc Hammer did it all, you never hear of Herc or all the other guys you talk about. Mc Hammer, did Poping, Robot, the Wave, the Tic, the Vibrator, He was cool with his stuff too, he even gave a whiteboy some help later to become Vanilla Ice with a smashing hit single, Ice Ice Baby. He is still living off that money, has Motorcycle chicks galore. All because Mc saw something in that kid. So together they said let me different and started the up rock and Krazy Leggs and spining on there heads!

  • ...

    Crazy Legs is a Latin breaker from New York and the President of Rocksteady crew, who started in 1977, how did Mc hammer start up Crazy Legs if Crazy Legs was dancing long before Mc Hammer even came around doing his thing.

    And dude, anyone in hip hop knows who Herc is, you don't because you're not a hip hop head, you're just a phony.

  • And why aren't you admitting you made a mistake, about Kool herc when you said he lived in California and got Mc Hammer in to gangsta rap. You know you were wrong about that but now you're changing the subject and avoiding admitting you were wrong about that.

    And as for the "up rock" as a dance, dude, uprocking started before or right when Mc Hammer was born. Hammer was born in 1962, uprock started around that exact time or

  • even earlier, how did Hammer start it if it was there before he was even born? Why do you keep lying again, and again, and again, just stop lying and making fairy tales up. All of what you're saying has nothing to do with your main argument. So what if Hammer knew how to do some popping, and the robot, you originally said Hammer started ALL of breaking from its beginning origins. Then

  • when I name for you the guys who actually did start it before even Hammer was born or came around, you don't admit you're wrong, you just make new fairy tales up, again and again.

    You're such a piece of trash.

  • I thought you said Mc Hammer started all of these dances from watching old ladies do aerobics? So you're naming popping, the robot, the wave, etc. James Brown did the robot before Mc Hammer was even born. The Electric Boogaloos who are still around today and would slap you across the face for what you're saying, they were popping, ticking, strobing, vibrating, everything, in

  • the 1960's, when Mc Hammer was walking around in diapers you idiot, how can he be the creator of all these dances you're giving him credit for creating, if uprocking, was around before Hammer was born, popping was around when Hammer was a toddler or baby, and breaking started in New York of the South Bronx, while Hammer grew up in Oakland, the opposite side of the country.

  • He may have done some of these dance forms, but just shut up and admit you were wrong, that he was not the creator of ANY of those dance forms you moron.

  • Did you not even watch this video you're commenting again? The guys in this video are saying it clearly, they learned breaking from watching New York breakers in a movie called "Flashdance." They're saying that in this video clearly, and you're still making fake stories up.

  • DJ Kool Herc's was behind the scence in MC Hammers Movie they had been friend for a long time. He would help direct Mc Hammer with different gang ghetto look, like a head band and Kakkis, low riders cars actually Herc is what killed MC Hammer, with those songs, Bumps and a Bumps, When Mc went Gangster Herc was behind all that, it was his quest to help but it back fired. Now they are both broke and owed tax money and living the hard life of the street in the Bay area. Herc blew it for breakers!!!

  • What are you talking about now?? DJ Kool Herc still lives in the South Bronx of New York, he does not and never has lived in the Bay Area, or any part of California you moron.

    DJ Kool Herc was not affiliated with Mc Hammer you idiot. Why are you making lies up on the spot, where are you getting your false information from?

    DJ Kool Herc was around 15 years before

  • gangster rap even existed, and he NEVER was a part of gang life EVER.

    When gangster rap did show up in the late 80's, from guys like Ice T, Kool Herc was the one saying he was against Ice t doing that form of music, and calling women the "b" word.

    Why in the world would you call him "gangster herc" from the Bay area you moron, he never was in a gang and never lived anywhere near the West and California,

  • he was always in the EAst in New York.

    As for MC hammer living the street life in California now? Dude, he lives the family life and he's a Christian preacher on television, and shows up on reality shows like the surreal life. There's nothing "street" about that you stupid moron.

    Now apologize for and STOP making fake stories up, why are you doing this, are you just making stuff up on purpose?

  • And when you reply to my comments, click the reply button next to my name in here, so I can be notified when you're replying to me, don't reply by posting your comment in the bottom of this page. Gosh, if we were talking in real life I would've punched you right in your nose already.

  • And whatever MC hammer did did nothing to blow it for breakers, because the dances mc hammer did on television for the millionth time, was NOT breaking you stupid idiot.

  • After Breaking Mc went on to bring out the ballon pants, everyone was buying them all the hardcore rappers were wearing his clothing line. He them went on making food for all his friends they like the food so much they named the Mc Donalds after his dad, Donald Hammer. He bought cars and big house, horses with his money. He gave all his money to the ones in need in Oakland and Chinatown, everyone loves MC Hammer and that was all owed to him starting Breaking watching the old ladies at the YMCA.

  • Okay, so yeah maybe Hammer did break, but he did not START the dance of breaking/bboying. That's where you're wrong. I told you, bboying started in the South Bronx of New York, you're saying it started in California, when the legends in breaking in this very video above say breaking came from New York. Look at 0:20 seconds, when BAby Huey says it started from that "one scene." I have the entire DVD of

  • this video, and that "one scene" he's referring to, is the movie "Flashdance," where RSC crew of New York were the ones breaking in that movie. At 0:20 of this video that guy Baby Huey as you see, says that "one scene," he's talking about that one short movie scene from that movie Flashdance, did I not explain this already?

  • Ahh great, I just watched the vid again, look at 0:15, starting there he says himself and even names the movie, saying it started when they saw the movie "FLASHDANCE." Watch it yourself at 0:15 seconds, he clearly states that, so there's no dispute about this.

    He's saying breaking started in California, after they saw it from that one movie scene in flashdance of New york guys doing it. I have this entire DVD, and the context he

  • meant it in, was about the movie Flashdance and how it brought breaking to California all the way from New york you idiot.

    It started like I said, in 1973 in DJ Kool Herc's house in 1520 SEdgwick Ave. of the South Bronx, not California. Even at 0:44

    of this video, he admits they were influenced by New York's style of breaking.

    Again, I have the DVD, the subject was on the movie Flashdance, then it switches and transitions to this section where the West

  • Coast here as you see, they are talking about that movie and how it was the first time they saw it. If you don't believe, look up "flashdance breaking" in the youtube search, the first video result is the "one scene" Baby Huey is referring to, and Baby Huey of California was part of Pony Express, the FIRST breaking crew in California.

    You know, you're really stupid, you come out here, claiming breaking started with Mc Hammer, when it started long before he

  • started doing whatever he was doing. There's an older form of breaking that influenced breaking, called "uprocking" which started in the time right when Mc Hammer was born in the 1960's.

    I've watched all of Mc hammer's dance videos, even his life story movie, NONE of the dance footwork moves he's doing is breaking, NONE of it, and even if it was, that doesn't change the fact that bboying

  • was around before he even hit puberty. Hammer was born in Oakland California for crying out loud, thus it's guaranteed he was nowhere near when breaking started in 73 in New York. California only picked up on breaking the 80's AFTER FLASHDANCE, ten years AFTER breaking was already around.

    Now just shut your mouth, it's clear and obvious you're talking nonsense out of false sources. I already named you the EXACT

  • address of where breaking came from, I can name you the first breaking crews and breakers who were there in the 70's just so you don't repeat "Mc hammer parachute man started it."

    The first guys were guys who called themselves the Nigga twins, Beaver, bboy Spy (who created the six step the most basic footwork in breaking), Trac 2, all the brothers from Zulu nation with Bambaata,

  • Jojo, Jimmy D, Salsoul crew, etc. Those guys I just named, were the influences and taught the guys who ended up in flashdance, meaning those guys were a generation before the movie Flashdance.

    So timeline goes like this...

    All the guys I named breaking first. Then guys like Ken Swift, Crazy Legs, etc, learn from those guys I named. Then Ken Swift,

  • Crazy Legs, etc, after being influenced by those earlier guys, become big as well, and Swift and Crazy Legs including Frosty Freeze, and Mr. Freeze, are the ones casted in the movie Flashdance. Then after Flashdance premieres, California watches that movie, and from that "one scene," they saw breaking for the first time, and "hit the westcoast with a fury" as the video

  • states. This youtube video is a small cut section from the entire "Freshest kids" dvd.

    So as you see, I just showed you and named for you, ten years of breaking history BEFORE it even hit the West Coast, before Hammer ever saw it. And in the West Coast, breaking grew and developed in the youth center of "Radiotron," not the Ymca, and in Radiotron, was where the FIRST breakers

  • known as Pony Express, not MC hammer, were starting it up. Later comes guys like Lil Caesar, Mr. Animation, Chuco, and others, also at Radiotron, being the next to carry the torch after Pony Express. Mc hammer has no stake or part in any of this, even if he was at radiotron which is possible because it was a big youth center, he was nowhere near being the founder or even a major part in breaking in the West Coast.

    I gave you all of those facts, now if you're

  • going to stand by your Mc Hammer created breaking, first refute all of the names and exact facts I gave you, I can name for you the sources if you want, and my sources are the guys who were there in the 70's in the South Bronx.

    I feel like you should apologize for how ignorant you've shown yourself to be, and you PERSIST in that ignorance which is even

  • worse. Hip hop is important to me, everything I'm saying anyone in hip hop, REAL non-commercialized non-MTV hip hop, will agree with me. Even those "hardcore rappers" you say hammer influenced. "hardcore" gangsta rap only came out in the late late 80's anyway, almost TWENTY years after breaking was already around in New York.

  • Hey, I have a video for you that will shut your mouth even more. Look up in the search "30 years of hip hop part 2" and make sure you click the first video result which is part 2 of a series, and that section is where it tells you exactly who started hip hop, DJ Kool Herc, and they tell you it started in the South Bronx. It was a documentary done by VH1, if you don't watch it, don't comment reply back to me with your mc hammer bull.

  • I did a little reserch and found out where breaking started, it origonated in the Gyms, like La Fitness, The Y, older ladies were doing it and a little colored boy saw them in the window I think his name was Mc Hammer or something like that, anyway he started coping there moves took it to the ball park and people started giving him tips. Others caught on and added a few more moves and the rest is history.

  • By where breaking started, I hope you mean where it started as far as in the West Coast right? Because, it originally started in the East Coast, in New York, the South Bronx.

    Secondly, oh my goodness I can't believe you just made MC hammer out to be the founder of breaking, that is the most retarded thing I've ever heard in my life.

    What Mc Hammer was doing was not even

  • breaking, it was and is known as "soul" dancing, stuff you see Bobby Brown do.

    And what the heck, old ladies were breaking and the old ladies were the starters of breaking? Where in the heck are you getting your information from?

    Look, in 1973, in the South Bronx, it started by DJ Kool Herc throwing house parties, which is where everything in hip

  • hop started, Djing, graff writing, and breaking. From 1973, ALL the way to finally 1980ish, ten years AFTER breaking was already, did it finally even reach LA California you moron.  And it wasn't by old ladies, it was by young kids who saw the movie FLASHDANCE starring Jennifer Biels, there were breaking scenes of guys from New

  • York in that movie, Rocksteady crew, and from that movie which was Hollywood, LA California first saw breaking. And from there they imitated it and got connected with it. MC Hammer had nothing to do with anything, that was the most idiotic statement I've ever heard in my life.

    If you want to know my sources of information, I refer you to guys who were there when hip hop was born, or were right

  • after those guys from the 1970's to 1980's. If you want names, Krs One, DJ Kool Herc himself who you can find on youtube, Grandmaster Flash, Grandmaster Caz (part of one of the first emcee groups the Kold Krush Brothers). And even the California sources will tell you themselves the same thing, guys like Lil Caesar, Easy Roc, Chuco, etc. Even the West Coast will tell you, hip hop

  • was born in the South Bronx from Dj Kool Herc. It had nothing to do with the Ymca, or old ladies being the first breakers?? Or if you're trying to say from their aerobics or something, MC Hammer created breaking, you're out of your mind. Yeah he might have started his own style of "soul" dancing from those old ladies, but that wasn't breaking or the birth of hip hop, that's the birth

  • of "soul" dancing as I've stated, nothing to do with breaking or hip hop culture in any form. MC Hammer was a bubblegum pop rapper, not a real rap emcee and was never accepted by the real hip hop community.

  • whatever. and i meant to say breakin.

  • shutup Vi3tNamBoi shoet waving n poping is just as good as popping boii

  • huh?

    dude!

    do u evn kno wat we're and/or ur talking bout?

    i kno poppin is good. its da shiet.

    but im jus sayin.

    da mid n late 80's ruined bboying.

    cuz of alll da ppl mocking n doin da robot n other gay shit. -.-

  • sing jiya your tripping no one knows exactley where breakdancing started because it takes infulence from almost all styles that came before it

  • It started in the South Bronx in the Kool Herc house parties that happened in 1520 Sedgwick Ave.

    That's the exact address we know it came from bro.

  • you can't pint point hip hop he was tha first mc he didn't event all that is hip hop i'ts not like th adud whou dj rap that brek dance then everybody copid him

  • Wow, you really have no idea what you're saying do you?

    Kool Herc first off, is known as a DJ man, what do you mean "first mc?" He was known as DJ Kool Herc, and he started the house parties with his records. He also did graff writing, and it was from him playing records, that on the instrumental breaks of the song, guys would "go off" and dance, which became bboying.

    And it was all black guys, until Herc's

  • parties got so big, he had to move it outside on the street, which drew in the Latino crowd.

    Yes you can pin point hip hop, WE as hip hoppers which you apparently are not, KNOW who started it. DJ Kool herc started it, no one in hip hop disputes that, Afrika Bambaata, Krs ONE, they all acknowledge and know Herc started it, it's bad enough that when I named Kool Herc, you thought I was

  • talking about a "rapper," when he was DJ Kool Herc, and everything in hip hop was built around the DJ originally. The emcee guy rhyming over the records in the parties, came YEARS AFTER hip hop was already around with DJ's, graffiti, and breakers. The emcees were the guys who originally, would talk about not even himself, but how great

  • the DJ was, and when or where the next party was going to be, and from talking over the mic, emceeing which became known as "rapping" came along.

    You made a mistake by thinking that DJ Kool Herc was first an emcee, and another mistake you made was thinking hip hop was born off of emcees originally, no it was not.

    Wow, just saw your profile, you are NOT hip

  • hop, you are MTV and VH1 mainstream pop hip hop, no wonder you have no idea what you're talking about. And you look really young, how old are you?

    Anyway, you don't even know the basic history of hip hop, like I said, 1973, DJ Kool Herc, in 1520 Sedgwick Ave. which is the name of the building in the South Bronx, where he held his house parties that gave birth to hip hop culture. Guys like DJ

  • Grandmaster Flash, and BAmbaata, showed up when Kool Herc got injured by a knife on his hand, so he was out of the game for a bit, and these new guys showed up. Before that, Herc was the ONLY hip hop DJ that existed.

    Oh and wait, you're saying he's not a dude that did breaking and Djing and everything. Actually, you're wrong, he's known as the godfather of hip hop for the reason also, that HE DID DO EVERYTHING moron. He Djed, he did graffiti, and he even did a little

  • breaking, and although he didn't do the rhyming to the record which came later, he did announce and talk over the mic so in a sense he was an emcee. So he DID DO EVERYTHING, which is why every real hip hop head, will tell you, HE IS the godfather and start of hip hop. Dang man, dang and it's worse that you're trying to speak on hip hop while you're doing non-hip hop pop soulja boy dances on your page, ridiculous.

  • As for the date, bboying started no later than 1973.

  • the 80s was the best of breakdancing !!!! u can say what u want i kno IM RIGHT!!!!

  • nah bro.

    da 80's basicly ruined it wen lik people started to fuk around wit it. such as da wave n shit.

    early 80's was da best yes but not da mid n late 80's

  • fo shiznit

  • yeah, 80s is when the disco scene came in

  • Don't you mean the 70's!?

  • 25th yall!

  • Breakdanceing is anything but u have to use your hands lol

  • You guys do know that continuous flares are as hard as headspins but they take almost the same amount of time (1/2 years) to learn. but ive heard people usually learn headspins in like months

  • I got 1.5 Rotations off my headspin the first time I tried it... It's hard to tell what people are capable of until it gets down to the Gritty. I've been trying Flares for 4 years, and I can't get My legs around back still =/...

  • O.o dude i feel bad for you man. i wish i would help you

  • Breaking did not come from Flash Dance it came from the hard inner city of New York and spread to Philly, Jersey, went across the State and LA was the last to catch on, that is why they were so behind they are finally catching up but there is no money in the Game, most people in LA who still do the art are in there 50's, selling drugs, hanging at the corner store playing scratchers, smoking cloves. EZ Rock was seen doing just that about 1 month ago, I give him props still got the moves, I tiped!

  • What are you talking about, some of the biggest crews and top bboys from the 90's to now, were if not LA, from parts of California. The LA breakers, Killafornia, Style Elements, Battle Monkeys, etc. The guys who are always winning the national or even making it up in the international competitions, are California guys. New York guys, barely ever, it's either Cali or Florida now.

  • im a pretty good b-boy, but not as good as some of those people out there. Keep spinnin!!!

  • Ah yes, the inevitable upside down crotch head spin. Thanks for the gonads expose',NOT!

  • spin this!

  • the west tries to take credit for everything!!!!

  • Which is why they're talking about how bboying came from Rocksteady Crew New York in this video? There's saying they saw it on Flashdance, and the guys in Flashdance breaking were RSC of New York.

    They're doing the opposite of taking credit for it idiot.

  • yeah, these guys are good, buttttttt i am like 1 million times better

  • shits crazy
