[navonod69]

OHHH SNAAAP THAT 4 MAN PUSH UP SET WAS OFF THE HOOK. LOL

[Coolyfett]

these guys are not that good though...where are the real b boys?

[BigDaddyEvents]

but just to chime in about the black white stuff, bboying was an URBAN groove and blacks AND whites AND latinos were there from the get-go. And mad props to the one and only Kool Herc, the original beat droppa & party starta. It all began with his beat.

[BigDaddyEvents]

in 1984 bboys had really only been at it for one year, coast to coast. i admit the moves look really lame now, but hell we've had 30 years of evolution. back then these were all new moves, basically. another thing a friend of mine and i were talking about the other day, back then we had to either make up our own moves or physically go to a spot where they were breaking to see new moves. not like today where bboys can pull up video after video on youtube to bite moves...

[navonod69]

Or we just made them up on the Spot.

[2010LAKESHOW]

They suck ass>

[park247]

amateurs breaking but at least the crowd was cheering

[SizzleSuite]

they were lame, even for 1984 standards....

[BboyBlackout]

@solowizard Are you nuts? Korea is good but we always set the standards. You could take any Korean bboy and compare them to Ken swift. There is no competition. Why? Because I'm sure the Korean would either repeat a move Ken swift did back in the day or Ken swift would out dance him. A bboy like him has got way to many styles to compete with. Basiclly the Korean would be out danced.

[chuckmays]

funny



[MrChrismanqueros]

@Solowizard: I completely agree, people forget so quickly and easily as to look down on the time before there own. Have the nereve to say how more superior it is now and days. Yet they forget to pay respect to the roots from where it all came from for shame if you ask me. Long live to the late 70s through the 80s fasho. If you think any less then i guess you ain't got no sense of appreciation. Origins is what's it's all about, if you dont know or understand I highly suggest you look it up lol.

[Maxantium]

@MrChrismanqueros People always tryna shit on black folks , no respec. Just haters yow

[Solowizard]

@Maxantium - WRONG! There's plenty of people who give Black Folks Mad Props. The people that don't are simply jealous, plain and simple.

Also, there's an old saying "IMITATION IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF FLATTERY". People who mimic black created gestures and slogans/meanings like " the fist bump, it's all good, what's up man, Mickey Dees (McDonalds) are giving Black People mad props and don't realize it.

[reyboks]

jajajajja, mis respetos a estos hombres, y mi risa es solo el resultado de la comparacion del nivel de esa epoca con la actual

[Solowizard]

I think it's HILARIOUS how the popularity of Breakdancing back in the 1980's was waaaay ahead of the actual talent. TODAY, Breakdancing is completely dominated by Koreans, and they are far superior dancers than those who came before them, and yet, you might as well be standing on the corner picking your nose, because it barely gets a head turn.

[christopherlaclair]

@Solowizard Originality will always be king.

[Maxantium]

@Solowizard Dude you have no idea what ur talking about. If the Koreans were so damn good why didnt they come up with or INVENT BREAK DANCING THEMSELVES. Dude be quiet and give props to the creators dawg dang !

[Solowizard]

@Maxantium - Who said you had to create the dance to be the best at it? That's just as ridiculous as saying that Henry Ford's Model T is better than any performance car on the market today.

[MrTeeboogie]

back in the day this crew would have got run out MY hood (Westside S.A.), music too...Just Terrible!!!

[kzfive]

B-Boying came a long way. The 80's were my Break Days. Good memories.

[muskie1976]

[diksad]

@muskie1976 Tht true LMAO !!!

[cimism610]

@muskie1976 wrong freebasing started in the late seventies after the disco people were already sniffed out would go home hook up an ether stove and cook up coke and smoke it and get a sky hi high

[1spiritualalchemy1]

@cimism610 Maybe " Sky high " to some, as you put it, but only during the first time, and after that spend their lives chasing that same feeling and never getting it, and in the process becoming cracked out junkie zombies who would do just about anything to obtain a drug that did nothing more for them than ruin them.

[cimism610]

@1spiritualalchemy1 Yo you could not have said it better. There is nothing truer than what you have just said. Drug addiction in a nutshell. Best friends with misery.Your statement is the realest and smartest thing ever posted on you tube. Thanks

[1spiritualalchemy1]
