History of Bboying

[superbambino24]

i saw a salsa performance from the 70s where the singers were doing six steps, puertoricans had a huge influence on bboyin'

[sucarnie]

lol 70s bboys were in slow motion haha, evolution is continuously taking place in 2020 we are the ones who will be :( in slow motion and look weak

[BboyAce121]

Wow man this isnt right bro, you've got it wrong it all started and continued because of figures like Afrika Bambaataa and zulu nation, rocksteady crew and etc this shouldnt be up promoting the wrong info

[mpforeverunlimited]

@BboyAce121 dude this is for his english class, it doesnt matter if its not 100% correct if he wants to make his project like this he can. your opinion of this vid doesnt really matter unless your his teacher

[BboyAce121]

@mpforeverunlimited Very true. I cannot ever remember commenting on this :/ haha Porbz wasnt me, woulda been lil bro. Sorry for his comment. Pz

[bboyMrSuave]

@BboyAce121 Its cool, Obviously I can't touch all the major influencers in a short four minute video. Its more or less to show the progression.

why yo got tobe racist agains latinos when we evolved it from basics

[katanaboy995]

Gotta watch the Freshest Kids. Goe's very in-depth to the origins of hip-hop and mainly b-boying.

[FrankeFKQ]

Actually the official birth of HIPHOP is November 12 , 1974

[katanaboy995]

Kool herc?

[jimhatt]

90% of the fools commenting on here prolly aint bboys... so it dont matter what the fun they say. the music originated in Jamaica... it was adapted to james brown and other artist in the states. the dance started in the states. look for a vid called history of biting. you will understand the dance borrows from every culture and dance. get with the history. hate will always be there no matter what. its ingrained in people sicne birth. all bboys know its muti culture. haters dont.

[kpkopo]

noobs!

yeah your right that its from african origin

but real bboy in general is derived from everything and every culture

and HIP HOP IS NOT A RACE

and if it is THEN ITS HUMAN RACE

[rotena25]

break dancing is from blacks. Not fron no fucking so called latino. Latinos just imitated thats all.

[HIPHOPSOUL2FUNKY]

first of all bitch made mo'fucka, mama mi vergota mendigo pedazo de mierda. 2nd boricua bboys were the first to take bboying to the floor. batch, jojo all them katz. on top of that , the hip hop culture is meant to be a universal thing bitch hoe. and on top ofl that...everyone on this earth comes from the african man, some of us is jus a lighter shade of brown. you dont know hip hop so suck a dick thats it

[rotena25]

I will say it again hip hop, b boying is balck american culture. Everyone else are just participants thats it. The movements the rythem is of african american origin.

[superbambino24]

@rotena25 is that a joke? there are so many influences that started breakin'. The latin salsa steps help start toprock. james brown's "good foot" started down rock. kung fu movies from the 70s inspired power moves and uprock. and Capoeira started freezes. I mean, 90% of the rock steady crew was puerto rican

[HaNavi512]

Why the hate?! Bboying was started by black and Puerto Rican kids in the 70's in the Bronx. The first crews were the Nigga Twins and the Shaka Zulu Kings. They were black, but Puerto Ricans were right there innovating and dancing at the same time.

[rotena25]

Just like all other forms of american and latin music and dance started among blacks. Its ok if the mestizo hipanics enjoy it to. But they did not originate it, and thats that.

[HaNavi512]

You're absolutely right about ancestry. But bboying was a collective effort. 1970's Bronx was heavily populated with both black and latino people. The youth took part in and enjoyed many of the same activities, bboying and graph included. We don't know who the very first person to ever bust some nasty groundwork is, all we can say is from what community it came. South Bronx. Some of the first bboys were latinos and that's a fact.

[HaNavi512]

Look, I'm black, and I'm a bboy. You need to read the history. Hip Hop itself originated in the black community. But some of the first bboys were Puerto Rican. Plus, they share some of the same roots as we do with music, rhythm, culture, and African ancestry.

[rotena25]

Not all puerto ricans have african ancestry. And majority of them that do, try to avoid anything african. I will say it again b boying started with black people not hispanics.

[HaNavi512]

The Latinos weren't imitating they were partaking. That's all I'm trying to say. They were at the same parties doing the same dances and bboying evolved with the help of both cultures.

[rotena25]

Hey i know what you are saying. But b boying is african american.

[HaNavi512]

Let's just agree to kinda agree. LOL!

[jimhatt]

nah man. bboying is human.

[6garbageman9]

@rotena25 b boying is african american?? that has to be one of the most bone-headed and idiotic remarks up in here

[bugstrut]

@rotena25 "Breakdancing"? Get back to the '80s with that commercial shit. The dance is called B-boying, and the name comes from '73/''74.

Rockstar - NERD (Jason Nevins Remix)

[Godson2001]

There you have it Breakin back then just mainly Consisted of Blacks an Hespanics

Black an Brown pride but don't forget the Asian Brothas.

[bboyMrSuave]

I'm white... and true it was developed in the Bronx but I'm sorry. Skin color is irrelevant. Instead of "black pride" ; "white pride" etc.. why not just human pride? comments like that help to instill this popularization of how everyone is soooo different because of a pigment. thats all...

[bboynormal]

whats the name of the last song , please?

thanks :D

[chaddavis26]

the name of the last song is

Thought At Work by The Roots.

i just found it today lol

very sick song

[curtisinouye]

This is where it all started man, Not all these sell-out commercialized bboys now. Theyre great and all, athletic, i cant do what they do, but how many of them know where bboying started from, the culture, the style, all of it. Unless youve lived it, you're just another "dancer"

[bboyMrSuave]

true there are alot of power heads, and bboys have been migrating away from the actual history of it. that's why its up to us, the ones that either lived it, or like myself spent many many hours delving into it.

[fupersly1]

load of crap man. you saying that unless you lived in new york in the 70's you arent a bboy?

[MrBarizo]

no, hes saying you're only a true bboy if you really know what it's about and if you have knowledge about how hip-hop was created and what our purpose is as bboys.

[ricardoyeshua]
