oh my god..look carefully at 1:04...... THE SECRET OF DAVID BLANES STREET ELEVATION IS FOUND HERE.....look how da dude gets up on his toes..makes it look like he floatin..thats how blane does it.. anyone agree?
it´s unbelievable..I remember watching formel 1 and then this vid...it was something that stay someones mind...I even remember the room, the atmosphere and the time (early summer)...fascinating how time passed and we all still stay the same...:)
Michael Jackson used a lot of dance moves from the hip-hop community in his dance style. It's because of Michael Jackson probably more than any other single pop artist that the door was opened for hip-hop to become a global phenomenon.
Sure he did, however, hip hop, as in art form became a global phenomena, and was born as an alternative to the commercial cross over type pop MJ so exemplified. I listened to a lot of early hip hop, electro boogie, dj's etc. back in the early 90's and found it much more reflective of the street, NOBODY, in this genre did anything with his music, and actually, most people into the scene regarded MJ as somewhat of a joke. Break dance is more improv, more about flow.MJ more stylized, choreographed
Of course I noticed it, do you happen to know when MJ began wearing the sequined glove? Michael was of course an iconic figure, never more so in the aftermath of Thriller in the early eighties, I 'm guessing it was a fad type thing to wear the glove, the jacket, whatever. I do remember people kind of dissin him in general though, and I see more of MJ adopting some of the b boy moves rather than the other way around. I wouldn't deny that MJ was a big influence on pop culture as a whole however.
MJ started wearing the glove in the late 80s, I believe. Minister Farrakhan said it was because that's where his vitiligo first appeared. If you watch his video "Leave me alone" you can see he has some bandages on his right hand, before he started wearing the glove.
I agree with you 100% that MJ adopted some of the b boy moves. That's what i was trying to say earlier.
By adopting those b boy moves, the world was exposed to hip hop culture through MJ.
83 ? these styles were out b4 that year and on tv - hip hop wasnt gettin awards until after - they thought it was going to come n go - cant blame h.h. for that - he wasnt moon walkin as a kid - king of pop - not hip hop
Point well taken! I have a personal experience that relates to the extant of Michael's influence. Must of been ' 83 or '84. I had an incredibly lucid dream in which MJ came to my home, by himself, in a late model big, black Lincoln Towncar, black leather interior, Michael is real friendly, wants me to take him all around my hometown. We had French Fries at the local teen hang out! Drove around, MJ asking all sorts of things about ordinary life. The dream was so real! I wasn't even a big fan.
omg this guy is fuckin insane!!! look at the glides he does, and the waves n hes electric boogie is fuckin crazy!!! that was the electric boogie of the 1980's. this is '83....by the time the year '87 came, electric boogie had changed and it was more about acrobatics and not really street like.....this is sooo awesome!!! i love old school breakdancin
gah dayum that cat can pop!!! this was fuckin off the hook. brings me back to when i was a kid, doin my thang!! i was always on the fat side, so i couldn't break, so i had to pop!!! hahaha!! i tell you what though, i was a fat, strutin ass muthafucka!!!
I've been looking for this song for 25 years. It was used in a German Top 40 show called "Formel Eins" and I had no idea of its name or who did it. All I could remember was that hook part with the synth, no vocals. Great old skool tune! Thanks for posting!
great stuff, this is the stuff to check if you want to do this poppin' game 'properly', thanks for posting, MORE OF THIS PLEASE! plenty heads out here to entertain with that sacred vaults sh*t
Of course this guy was awesome...remember the "breakin" movies? Also Chaka Khans I fell for you video? "Boogaloo Shrimp".....AKA "OZONE"! Miss those dfays styles and musicNice cut thanks for posting it

Just checked the 83 Billie Jean performance and saw him wearing one white glove on his left hand. So maybe it was around that time.
