soo cool to see how far b-boys went back then i was bboy`n then an to see this go all the way to the president was global now its all over the world...
Many people called them sell outs for this performance but that's complete shit! They did popularize it for sure with the amount of tv gigs they got but hey you would have done the same thing yourself if you tried to make a living. It's funny that all of those conservative tight asses were clapping the loudest for Lil alexs' headspins,it really showed what was going on then in terms of knowledge of the dance. The media just wanted to see acrobats not the feel or essence of the dance
The Bboy they put 'newest member' for is called 'LIL ALEX' and he would've probably been the best in the crew. This bboy could literally do everything and he was only young. checkout 'NYC rare old battle 1984' he's one of the bboys on the left. You'll know it's him coz he comes out and virtually destroys the other crew by himself. Peace!
Man I thought Icey Ice had left the group back then a lease that's what we thought out here in the west coast because we got everything late out here back then in 1985.
@SECtennesseeSEC 2 each his own... tell that to ken swift,trac 2,crazy leg's,jo jo. spy the list goes on. James Brown, Jimmy Castor & others along with this song are considered the greatest bboy anthems of all time! Listen to the percussion breakdown when Icy Ice & Lil Alex hit the floor! How could you be a bboy since 81 & call this electronica? There's no electronic sound to this it's all acoustic.
@SECtennesseeSEC I owe you a big apology my man...I didn't listen to the song that's playing here. Someone must have posted this video with a diff't audio track & you're right this is some cheesy electronica bullshit! I know they danced to apache on the original performance...Sorry again bro.
He is alive. He left the NYCB in 86' after he got shot. Him and PEX where running the crew but then all that happened. He resides in Chicago, IL. right now.
Right on man that's good to hear cause somebody told me he was dead. Because the only person that I heard that was dead from the crew was glide master and that was years ago.Now what's up with flip rock and kid nice and also little lep.The last time I say him was in a Run dmc video Chrismas in hollis.
No , the real funny is that I listened for 1:08...hahahaha!

Break dancing was far better than being in the streets getting into trouble. It kept the guys busy. Shout out to all my breaker friends.

It's more a flare than an airflare. Actually, Pexter was the first one to include flare in BBoying, he was powerful an creative...
