I just saw Kool-Boy, like a year ago, at the Dub show. Some random cat tried to battle him, right in front of the booth I was promoting for. Haha Kool-Boy smashed that foo yo.

[poplockin8]

this video iz da shit!!

[CoOlTy3000]

I grew up in South Central. We were lock'N first! But, as time went on and moves started to change, we started poplock'N! That's pop'N and lock'N together. I poplock. I mix lock'n with my pop'n. Plain and simple.

[bigfred1107]

Some try and disscredit the culture of a Poplocking >>> it is because they know of the dance popping and the dance locking... Now welcome to Southern California where 1 can witness a dance created from the people of the surrounding region... Its truely its own style. PopLocking FBC

[JusBNmeNC]

Ronnie Hudson said it 1982: Poplocking in Rolls-Royces, Cadillac, Lincoln and Mercedes Benz Poplocking in Howard Johnson, Sheraton Poplocking at the Holiday Inn Poplocking in Hollywood, it's understood While listening to the Mac Poplocking at Broadway, everyday To the Preachers So rough, so tough, out here baby So rough, so tough, out here California knows how to party In the city, of L.A. In the city, of good old Watts. In the city, city of Compton There Poplock

[JusBNmeNC]

Straight up pop lockin! OG Kool Boy doing it up! Who says ain't no such thing as pop lockin? What's Kool Boy's motto Lanier? "I strive to keep pop lock alive". Pop lockin is alive and thrivin in da West Coast...best believe it! :o)

[barrella]

also one more thing to comment!

I will still say pop locking doesn't exist under certain conditions.

those conditions being people who are just to ignorant to differentiate between popping and locking. and if it's being used in stupid songs like "pop lock it drop it". that song and video is just wrong. no real hip hop dancing other than video hip pop is used in that crap.

so basicaly situations like that

[barrella]

yeah man I totally hear you. I guess the story of compton hasn't been told as often as it should have been. I mean you gotta understand where people like me are coming from too because this debate has been going on since the EBs and late 70's.

but now I know, right?

any way, keep pop locking, and I'm gonna be keepin it funky on the east coast

[barrella]

ok now you're going to far man.

I get it already. I didn't tell you to tell me who you are, and I by far did not say you don't know shit. if you insist on arguing by all means go ahead, but there's nothing left to argue.

[barrella]

well credibility means a lot. I'm not persecuting you saying you don't know shit, but if I know more of your background and where you coming from, I can find it easier to agree with you, and learn that I may be wrong. nothing but love brotha. we're all in hip hop to spread the knowledge and show poeple what it's REALLY all about. thanks for the lesson..

althouh in the end I will still not refer to it as poplocking lol. no offense on that.

[barrella]

out of curiosity

who are you, how old are you, and how long you been dancing?

just for credibility reasons

[barrella]

ok that's pretty cool

but there is no style of dance called pop locking!

you can I guess be a pp locker based on clothes you're wearing versus the dance you're doing, but the fact remains pop locking is not a style of hip hop dancing

and yeah, funkstyle here haha

[barrella]

this video is fuckiong horse shit. a bunch of brothas who are actually good hip hop dancers calling it "pop locking"

it's a damn shame when the poeple who started hip hop are getting it wrong.

gimme all the thumbs down in the world you want, then do some research to find out pop locking is a generic made up term.

[barrella]

also, I mean no disrespect to anyone, we can disagree all day long, but the vid is pretty sweet. good to see some old roots of real rap and hip hop both dancing and vocals in the same place for once.

I can breathe a sigh of relief that this isn't just another sellout

[beastieboygurl7]

my friend is in this vid. she is the blond shorty she is so tiny but she is a good break dancer. she is right inn the middle

[AnOldSoul45]

Everybody thinks Californian think there The Best , But the truth is , WE ARE . I MEAN IN ALL ASPECTS . RAP , ROCK , DANCE . ESPECIALLY , WE POP-LOCK , KRUMP , TURF DANCE , GO DUMB , THIZZ DANCE . THE LIST JUST GOES ON . WEST COAST 4 LIFE BAY 2 L.A.

[barrella]

[AnOldSoul45]

OK - Wutever u say .... Lol

[barrella]

arrogant and ignorant is no way to go through life ;]

[dizzrockn]

this vid is the shit!

[truevideoandlearn]

Why no sistas in this video? Can't sistas pop-lock it? Why yall hatin?

[Afrosamurai323]

There is a sista in da video. She's wearin a black n white collar shirt with a red long sleeve under it. Look again.

[truevideoandlearn]

Lanier2 says niggas need to git with white women and leave sistas alone. His carrer may

be put on hold for bein'a hater. read his comments on 'Black Mama Don't Believe In Me!'

[saske03]

I Feelz you man....please rip that nigga lol tommy gets on my fuckin nerves...tell tht nigga to put his dancing and all that on the line....if he lose he stop....that would be fun lol

[saske03]

i Get Wat You Saying and Most Krumpers started off poppin. its that nigga tommy that started beef..krumpers battled breakers and poppers and i came out as a tie with all love in the end...if you got some issuses...diss clownin not Krump

[saske03]

I Dont Support Tommy At All man. He Be Claimin He Created Krump When He Didnt.

[afrobro126]

who wants pay for my plane ticket so i can learn da real poplocking from the westcoast :p

[barrella]

lol unnecessary man. go to the new york hip hop conference. last thursday of every month. but don't go expecting it to be like a club

"can't pop, can't lock, can't house, then you don't belong"

a brotha told me that one day, just cause I was in my bboy gear(or maybe cause I'm white, but I'm ruling out racism). it's rough but you can learn ALOT going there.

[saske03]

The Song Is OK.

But I Krump And Them dissin Krump Is Not Cool

We Spend the Same Amount Of Time Makin Up Moves Just like any other Style Of Dance.

Ours MightBe A Lil More Street And gutta but Its Still A DANCE.

[clutchac]

at 4:36 is that heckle and jeckle?

[CrowdPleeza]

Cool video. Even though the term is widely used there really is no such thing as "poplocking". People need to know that Locking and Popping are really two different dance styles that started at different periods in the 70's. Locking started in the early 70's by Don Campbell and Popping came in the mid to late 70's.

[waves]

and crowdpleeza?

homie what do you know?

nothin....

lockin is the root word for super dance

(in the hood)

poppin was a dance that we did in the clubs with girls...(it was a club dance in 78)

when i saw folks pop-lockin?

its another way of saying heres the super-dance to that dance...

truck is the root word...for instance

lowrider truck is the description of that kinda truck...

[CrowdPleeza]

Here's how I once heard how the term poplockin got started. Both Locking and Popping started in Cali in the 70's,many people did both styles,they both were danced to Funk music,so they both got mixed together more in people's minds producing the term poplockin. Anyway that's just one theory.

[zodiak6]
