  • i use to watch his movies

  • if the video wasnt crappy. this wouldnt have no dislikes

  • this is so much harder to watch if your high.

  • This video is out with better quality just look for it. Some of it is from Breakn n entering.

  • This is what happens when you put video on a music cassette tape.

  • im 48 and i never took no class i just kept trying and my mates would laugh and say onley blacks can do it i proved them wrong its not about race it about a being real its still my love and i will be popin and lockin in my own world till the day i dye so don,t be a racist .popa smurf australia keep it real fool.

  • Bruno, use to perform on stage with this guy back in Long Beach, CA. Good to see ya. 21st and Elm.

  • yo this breaking n entering tape is almost IMPOSSIBLE to find my dad had it but u know how women are always wanna throw away what means alot to you damn women!!!!

  • when i become a famous popper im gunna change my name 2 burrito

  • Thanks for the HD clip.

  • this guy sucks

  • Taco is a real wreck now, he is staying at his sister place, broke financially , only with some booze to make the matter worse!! I hope Bruno will read my message and face reality, this guy couldnt manage himself : he would waste all his money in a single nite partying and boozing, he kept on cheating people and their money, it seems this guy only trust the people who would exploit him, how tragic it is!! This is the reality of the business folks so wake up!!

  • @fabienmichael ...............life is to Short. so can we be just a little nicer to each ether.

    we all have a pass and we all are working on something...I to have said somethings in the past I wish I could take back.Thats way today I dont talk bad or say negotive stuff about anyone

    Poppin Taco is doing just find ....much lov 4U poppin Taco.........keep tutin on em

  • image is kinda crapy... cant see a thing >.<

  • Can someone adjust the tracking on this video please!

  • Taco is one of the pioneers(second genaration). Everybody need to know his background. These short footages don't measure his talent. Popping Pete said once: They say my Popping is phenomenal, just because they never saw Taco doing his popping live! I have a friend who is a Taco's pupil, every year he goes to California in oder to have classes with him and he show me some Taco's footages and man, this dude is a master. Tacos is the best indeed!!!! Peace to all.

  • @hilfrazao Turbo is one of the pioneers! And there was so many more that were better than him!

  • @310725thst turbo sucks now. he fell off. but when it came to waving and tutting taco would kill turbo

  • @ELqueLEmeteDURO turbo can do it all ..when you can dance you just can dance poppin taco is doing the same shit he done 20 yeats ago..Turbo is more fluid and so many people then and now would put Taco to rest with is gay ass..He aint gettin with turbo in any style and if more street kids were into locking poppin etc.. today like back then when they use to put the cardboard out and get busy ..It would be a wrap..Popin taco was good i will give him his props but he leaves the soul out of his moves

  • @310725thst the street kids didnt invent poppin or any of those moves. the back slide aka the moon walk has been done since the 1930's. and there is footage to prove that. there are also alot of movies from the 60's and 50's where you see white men doing the robot. these kids that did this in the early 80's and 70's copied the movies that they saw int hose era's alot of these dances been out for years but it was never exposed to the public until the 70's and 80's as a dance form.

  • @ELqueLEmeteDURO Yes the hell they did and you know it too..up to ur evil ways trying to take credit so typical. of you... the back slide was created by black folk along with tickin,lockin,popin,wave,and breakin and just about everything else hip hop and rap...they all go hand and hand. and just about every other kind of music...White men were not dancin doing the robot..And black kids are all about being original and dont copy lame ass white people..white people copy them!you got it twisted.

  • @310725thst your stupid. lol these movies are all over youtube. i dont know who created them but those dumb kids who were popping in the 80's did not. and people expect black kids t know how to dance. it is not as amusinf to watch a black person dance than to watch a white person that can dance. i enjoy watching a whit person that can dance more than a black person.

  • @ELqueLEmeteDURO popin taco is not white anyway and I could care less to be honest what color he is i just hate to see so many super talented black street kids get overlooked and then someone like some lame ass white boy copying and not even that good at it get all the shine..that is not right!.

  • @310725thst turbo is an amazing popper but if him and taco ever faced off taco would eat him up. taco is the best at what he does. and the best poppers out today like salah mr wiggles etc all took class and learned from him. taco also thought boogaloo shrimp and michael jackson. taco is a better dancer than what you think i seen him dancing before this thi michael jackson song and he wasnt even poppin he was simply grooving to the beat really funky and it even surprised me

  • Man this kid was nice back in the day, my whole hood was trying to emulate this man's style and that's no exaggeration it looks old now but when the wave first hit the street's he had the coldest style! i can just imagine, if we would of had this much footage of him...oh boy! we only had the movie so we would take from that and add on, this is like gold in my eye's ...but it would have been a nice battle!

  • OMG, How a person can judge the skills of a master like Poppin Taco only watching ONE video on youtube without knowing his background !! Go Taco, you are the best!!!

  • i swear to god the first clip is New Kids on the Block before they made it big...

  • for all of you bringing hate saying boog shrimp is better, you do know that taco got kicked out of the electric boogaloos because he and shrimp are friends?

  • @KnowIdeaxPoppinCRS we are not saying that they were not friends we are saying that Turbo was better than taco....

  • Taco burned them in the movie in all battles as far as body poppin is concerned, as a standalone body popper he is one of the best if not the "BEST". He was Michael Jacksons choreographer for 18 years , enough said.

  • @ksvillani That is a movie! In real life Turbo burned taco and so many more of them street kids would have to if given the chance.He can't get with turbo and so many more ..Mabe that is why michael started to suck useing the same ole moves..the kids today took this street dancin to another height ..popin taco havent brought anything new ..same ole breakin movie moves.turbo could move every joint even facial and he was just so fluid and feeling it with soul..Popin taco was alright not great

  • @310725thst your stupid popin taco thought mr wiggles fabel and salah how to wave!!! they all took class with him. and boogaloo shrimp also learned from taco and they both would practice together back in the 80's. not only that taco had a mean moonwalk that he never would use.

  • @ELqueLEmeteDURO all them sorry poppers trying to copy and make money off what these street kids created and they are not even that good at it..But thats what they do Steal Steal Steal from the street kids and then it just becomes corny...Boogalo shrimp aint copying nobody! more than likely they copied him and ran with it like they do with everything else...Just take everything and stamp your name one it! Is Elvis the king of rock and roll too?

  • Does anyone remember the name of this song 2:41? It's driving me crazy trying to figure it out

  • His body wave is so sick!

  • Shit, this looks so bad... That sucks, it would be great to see what he was doing back then. Taco's the coolest guy in "Breakin'" for sure. He'd "Put you under!"

  • Waht the shit is that,  cant see nothin

  • SICK!!

  • i wish that this had better quality .. but still awesome .. 5 from me

  • hot the best but awesome . check out some korean dude nam something hello sick! @_@

  • anyone know what the tune was on the dodgy VHS bit by any chance?

  • this is a real legend...poppin taco the true teacher of michael jackson......jackson´s moonwalk is teached by taco.....

  • no turbo from breakin taught micheal the moonwalk, he was micheal's personal choreographer

  • this seems to be passing into legend :)

    it was jeffery daniels.. the creepy guy out of shalamar who taught him the backslide

    now if shrimp or taco would have taught him.. imagine what mjs routine would have been like!

  • Micheal Chambers aka Turbo from breakin or Boogaloo Shrip-- He credits his older brother with introducing him to his first "moonwalk" a move he would later perfect, and share with pop superstar Michael Jackson. source Wikipedia

  • yeah.. wikipedia.. bit flakey to say the least

    how old are you?

  • Wikipedia is not a valid source. Surely your high school/ college should tell you that.

  • hey a source is a source, but I know for a fact Micheal Chamber was Micheal Jackson's Choreographer but the only written source I have is Wikipedia, but if you were smart as your claiming you be, you can check the references at the bottom of the wiki page, simple as that. and where is your source ?? yea i didn't think so?

  • actually Jeffrey Daniels taught Micheal the moonwalk or glide it was known as before it became commercialized

  • no he was not you clown... Taco was his right hand man for about 19 years!

  • my eyes are still hurting from the first 1.5 minutes

  • lol

  • I want a poppin taco!!!! I'm going to taco bell today!!!

  • taco was a band, this video is a joke

  • Poppin', Lockin' and "Trackin'" hahahaha!! (jajajaja) que vivo que soy!

  • How do we know this is Taco anyway?

    Could be my cousin Ray in those baggy, tattered clothes for all I know!!

  • Rofl...But we all know that aint ray.

  • Taco was and is still the number one. He has the best moves ever seen.

  • 83-84 yr it was filmd..

  • everytime i'm watching Taco, i'm wondering how much m.jackson got from him. not skill but attitude or style.

  • taco is so awesome. i loooove his moves. what yr was the first footage?

  • the footage at the start is late 83/early 84, it was from a documnt called Breakin&Entering which after a lame hollwood make-over became Breakin' (or to us in the uk Breakdance the Movie) its out there, on youtube and easy enough to pick up

  • Legendary taco!

  • Poppin Taco is the nickname of Bruno Falcon. Taco is the Master in the Cobra and wave styles!!!!!

  • if anyone wants the song at 1:29, its i just want to be - cameo.

  • amazing quality video, didnt know youtube had blueray support

  • lol !!

  • he moves like a magnet

  • i see who taught michael jackson

  • no the Electric Boogaloos did

  • Umm taco was in the electric boogaloos and he was the main person that thought michael!

    STUPID!

  • umm, isnt he one of the electric boogaloos??? he has bitten a style from all of them. but he uses his robot walk alot

  • Nah his not a boogaloo.

  • i was jus on the eb webpage and they had his name as a boogaloo

  • he use to be A a electric boogaloo not anymore

  • You gotta be hot to do that.

  • too bad you cant see shit

  • @d7sk LMAO

  • Finally picked up a copy of that documentary on dvd a few years back. Glad to see the greats are still poppin' on 'em. thanks for posting.

  • i knw this is a late reply but where did u get the DVD?

  • Always interesting that it is so clear that this is the man that tought Michael Jackson his popping and locking moves. Good stuff.

  • thats gayyy im srry i could do better...try poppin jhon much much more better

  • dude you are a moron.... go message popping john he will even tell you taco would smoke him don't believe me ? try it taco did so much for popping and street dancing everything he does in this video you would have to work on yearss to master

  • @PoppinDingy there is so many people that can do this stuff naturally just go get some street kids or any black kid.

  • u r so gay, pop n taco is hard, poppin john would say that he is hard too

  • Dudes an OG popper, you cant compare him to poppin John. John aint evev been in the poppin game for that long. PLus Taco was the reason for MJs dance moves. Think before you say somethin homeslice.

  • really nice quality huh? xD

  • and Mr Wiggles too!!

  • NO NO NO

    Salah Is The Best!!!!

  • he was alot better when he was youger,it happens to the best of us.

  • lol yea isn't taco like in his late 40's now ? this guy was hittin hard for 30 years i think it messes with the body after time :P

  • poor quality

  • best phrase ever. :D

  • hey thanks!.....lol

  • Taco is a beast.

  • i heard that he coached micheal jackson for 18 months or something like that

  • 18 months? haha.. 12 years dude.. :)

  • One of the very best the west coast has.

    Much respect.

  • Y'all crazy...Taco was my man in Breakin'! "talkin all that junk about who can beat who...sound like a punk!"

  • i just keep it real he aint shit compared to turbo

  • OGG TACO,BACK IN THE DAYS,AND SOON IN YOUR FACE...SHRIMP IS NASTY..

    THEY KNOW... ELECTRIC BOOGALOO POPPING,THATS WHATS UP..

    jazzy J

    EB

  • I loved Turbo to but I've always been in denial about how much more crisp and animated Taco moves were. You ever see that Klymaxx video with Taco in it. Sitting down this kat is killer.

  • Which Klymaxx video is that? I 'm gonna check it out.

  • The video by Klymaxx is called " Meeting In The Ladies Room ". Thanks to youtube years later, I finally seen it myself. My poppin buddy told me about it around 1984 when I was a kid but I never seen it.

  • All of us old school poppers can still get down!! We are in our mid 40's...

  • the turbo from breakin is better than him

  • WHO IS TEAChING?TACO...IT WAS JUST A MOVIE

    MY BROTHER TaCO IS NASTY,in person...

    peace....

  • 40's THATS WHATS UP

    THEHOOOPER16 VID PLEASE....

  • WHO DANCE TO VOTE ON ? YOU...

    jazzy j

  • @thehooper16 they wouldnt let him and turbo battle cus it would take the shine away from ozone cus he was the star in the movie

  • @thehooper16 I strongly agree!!

  • turbo is better

  • which turbo,the one from santa monica pier...

  • i think he's in his 40's still poppin

  • how old is taco now??

  • happy new year....to all

  • Not to dis Taco b'cause I love his style but Wiggles is also awsome.

  • is p n taco mexican???

  • Yes, Bruno is Mexican. I was in his little brother's crew. If my memory serves me right, that first documentary clip was filmed at his garage in Long Beach. Bruno was at a level all by himself.

  • You seem to have been personally close to this back in the day. Let me ask you, was there ever a challenge between Turbo and Pop n Taco back in the day.

  • totaljett, Bruno's brother, Eddie had his own crew. We pretty much did our own thing. We practiced at the family's garage. Around that time, Bruno was already traveling a lot, so I didn't see him around often. I saw Shrimp (Turbo was his movie name) and Bruno practicing a couple of times at the house. I don't know if they ever battled, other than practicing and messin' around.

  • Ah man thats cool, thanks for the reply.

  • lol how can i join.. ?

  • does anybody know that name of that song? or who its made by? man 80s breakin music is the fuckin best!

  • The section with bruno popping from Breakin and enterin is one of the greatest popping sections ever caught on tape!!

  • fix the tracking, yo

  • These types of moves were pioneered by the great Robert Shields of Shields & Yarnell. They have some videos on YouTube--like The Clinks.

  • this is one of his best vids! can someone give me the same of the song that was playin when Taco was sliding along the floor plz

  • He's always been my all-time fav. No disrespect to Bugaloo Shrimp, but i watched Taco closely during the BREAKIN-era.

  • haha this is worse than my copy

  • snnnnnnnnnnakkkkeeeeeee style

  • this is not what i was expecting

  • unwatchable...

  • Heh,how 80's...but I remember as a kid that was cool stuff to see.

  • i agree with the guy below

    the quality is so shittt..

  • fuckin quality

  • very poor quality - cant you upload a beter version - much appriacted

  • Yea it's taco doing the backflip at the end.

    What's the third song name?

  • man im just suprised like!! shit man... he is amaxzin

  • wat the fuck wrong with the quality

  • Why is his name Taco?

  • rofl why not?

  • Therefore my name is Burritto.

  • nick name..

  • why is his name taco. we were walking home from shcool afther poppin all day and this guy was following us talking shit behind us(name ERICK) so we stop and asked ERICK wasup do you want fight or what witch one of do you want to fight and ERICK said as he was trying to be funny becouse bruno was mexacan I want to fight (that poppin Taco)and the name stuck becouse he got his ass kicked

    KEEP TUTIN ON EM

  • NOTE: im not sure if taco wanted you to no that story but we all older and its the truth

  • I had to laugh at how Taco got his name. I was in stitches for a good minute. The story is cool. lol

  • your not king boogaloo tut!

  • YEA ITS ME

    KEEP TUTIN ON EM

  • hey do you know how to do the tutting cobra? Do your hands have to correspond with the inward and outward movements of your chest. If you could send me a video or something that would be great. please and thank you!

  • I can send You A vid on it

    there it still a few people still doing both style together......keep tutin on em

  • hey king boogaloo is this poppin taco in this video bruno falcon? pleas reply k i wanna know thanx =]

  • was up Heroxkira

    yes that is the real Bruno falcon in this vid AKA poppin taco

    one of the greatest poppers I no

  • I like tacos.

  • More of that last piece with the flip

  • is dat taco at the end????? well da poppin CERTAINLY looks like its taco but the flip .... hhmmm

  • Whats the third last song called? The one with really funky rythm.

    And from which years are those clips taken?

  • was that taco at the end!!! im confused.. never knew he could backflip LOL

  • He taught michael jackson moves.

    But Michael was a dancer just like him. No one touches MJ's dance cause taco's helped him improve it.. and Taco IS THE MAN.. anyway, Michael's style is perfect.. in my opinion Michael is the most influential mainstream dancer ever lived, right next to Taco and the EB!!

  • do u know wat u'r talking about? taco and the eb's taught micheal everything he knows, and he even stole things that wernt taught to him like that lil kick grab and spidey man thing. that was petes i think. it wasnt even a dance moves it was park of his personal character. search youtube for Electirc boogaloos, and click the one about micheal confrence

  • heles peste.

  • Taco is definitely one of my favorite OG poppers. His movements are clean, hard and creative.

  • I hate how kids now all make up dances that are all a form of breakin, or better known as breakdancing. Just annoying. I grew up doing this and now its poplockin, flexin, breakin, bboy battlin, just alot of bs for kids that cant move from 1 style to the next in the same battle to complicated for the young generation. Sooo sad.

  • no offense to you but some of us "kids" don't want to learn shit we don't like.. i would never and have never wanted to learn breaking.. i'd rather pop and wave anyday... people have preferences... most b-boys today can't pop for shit!

  • Being flexible with your styles gives you more of an arsenal its like art. The more you know the better you are. The less you know and the less flexible you are the more aware others are of how limited you are.

  • taco and shrimp should unite and put together a DVD of their greatest performances, it'd be a hot seller. They're legends.

  • this is one of my all time favorite clips of Taco.... to bad this clip is in Horrible condition. :P

  • hes dope but for me boogaloo shrimp was better.but i have no idea where these guys are now

  • he is from the westside of Long Beach and His real name is Bruno Falco.. He attended Long Beach Poly and hooked up with boogalooing in the 70's...he was a legend... He is one guy who you don't want to mistakenly take on in a battle..he gets those faces going....love you Pete .....from the westside homie...

  • now you know who taught michael jackson how to get down...

  • Awesome! We should have MORE Poppin Taco videos!! =) He's one of the illest poppers ever!! <3

  • what's the beat hes dancing to

  • dude is off the chain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • was he on breakin'?

  • nothing insane but what makes him good is how nice and smooth everything is

  • the quality is pretty lame until after the first third.

    just fyi to viewers... it gets better

  • that is hot!!

  • it's good to see Taco poppin again...a true legend
