  • thoes people are STANK

  • amazing song. nas ftw

  • MAY 21 2011 IS JUDGEMENT DAY!

  • @Lordismyportion Bet you read that off a pole in the street somewhere.  lol

  • It's stunning how these people's English is so rubbish. They have lived in the USA all their lives until America deports them back to Cambodia, why the bollocks do they talk like this? A few years ago I saw a documentary about Cambodians in America getting deported to Cambodia because they committed crimes. Could barely understand the people in that documentary as well. I could understand the Cambodian local better than the American raised.. Sad America.

  • @Devilishlybenevolent In this video KK is the only one from the US that is fluent in English. The rest of the people show in the video are people in Cambodia and having English as a second language, it isn't gonna be perfect for them. So if you're going to diss on KK's english it sounded fine to me don't know what you're trying to point out on it.

  • @Devilishlybenevolent Your English isn't so great either bud, and the fact of the matter is, KK is the only one from the U.S.

  • @xxzhoutaixx

    No shit he's the only one from the USA. If you bothered to read, I stated that HIS English sucks and the locals speak better English than him. I say, good riddance America for getting rid of a guy that practically lived his entire life in the US and could barely speak English.

  • @Devilishlybenevolent It's stunning how THESE <- plural, People <- another plural. They have lived in the USA all THEIR <- plural. so don't be a smartass

  • @xxzhoutaixx

    THESE PEOPLE as in American Cambodians dumb fucking shit.

    Don't fucking comment if you don't understand you plebe, try to fucking finish grade school dumb shit.

  • @Devilishlybenevolent When you're saying these people you're refering to the people in the video, because you're saying these. Also, "you plebe" isn't an insult, but nice try.

  • @xxzhoutaixx

    No when I say these I mean Cambodian-Americans who lived mostly in the US and still can't speak proper English. You are either really stupid and can't read for shit or you are analysing this way too much and need to get a life.

  • I wanna take a rap class.

  • it was funny the listings of the classes taught, "English classes, Rap classes, break dancing and computer classes."

    if that class was taught in long beach, the english classes would be electives and the rapping would be core classes. heh heh

  • =)

  • a guy the US deported...is now helping poor kids breakdance. am i right?

  • hope they wil b the best crew someday

  • Very inspiring!! 

  • awesome

    

  • Let's recognize the felon for turning his life around instead of the people who never ruined their life to begin with. These comments are so full of ignorance.

  • @HeyZeus03 Better to be a felon who turns your life around and gives something back to the world than to be a selfish asshole.

  • U might think dis shit is gay...cuz u seen better. atleast dis shit keeps kids away from drugs and gang. Look outside the box. Break dance has just arrived in cambodia 4 years ago and dey love it. If no thump up or good comment, please dont hate it. dey not da one who destroyed your twin towers.

  • @sokhunsak I would like this if you wrote in fucking English, bro. Learn how to spell. Good words though.

  • @sokhunsak Learn proper english idiot.

  • Hey everyone, I just uploaded a ghost hunters promo I made. Please watch and comment! It's much appreciated!

  • Comment removed

  • gay

  • I am cambodian myself and i was lucky enough to be born in the u.s. i dont know what its like to grow up there but i can say that its really hard for the kids to grow up in a 3rd world country. my family have many stories about the war and how they were able to survive. And for what this guy is doing for these kids.. its inspiring to see someone change their view in life and help them try to make it a better place.

  • @norcal96 Why don't you go back and contribute in your own way to make their world better. Just a suggestion. I am not from Cambodia by the way. I have friends from there and they always go back and volunteer with local NGOs to contribute to the development of that nation.

  • oh man, now this is what Hip-Hop is suppose be. Not that negative shit that you here one the media.

  • manny can break dance to.

  • Keep up the great work…hit the floor and the books….peace….

  • keep on doing what ur doing. ur doing the world a good. there need to be more people like u

  • Hebat!

  • nice bro.

  • cool 

  • 10 motherfuckers

    

  • Videos like these give me hope that the world isn't totally going down into the toliet.

  • former crip member?...

  • children need education not break dancing lessons

  • @cloudywhitesky Im sure its only a hobby.

  • @cloudywhitesky LMAO the goal is to teach a hobby/passion to at-risk youths--youths that might potentially be unproductive in society by becoming criminals and drug addicts. Teaching them bboying lessons will hopefully deter them from getting into criminal activities. In addition, the program does teach the youths some form of education :)

  • @cloudywhitesky education is taught in many different forms. are you not listening to what they are saying?

  • @cloudywhitesky Kids needs to be kids before any educations. Even if that is just break dancing instead of drugs.

  • @cloudywhitesky along with breakdancing, they are getting their education. Guess you need more education yourself cuz you seem to not be able to get that through your head

  • POLI KALO

  • Wow great job

  • BEAUTIFUL story, Good job KK...

  • what a beautiful and inspiring story, all over the world the people can relate to this story. He is so young and yet he is trying to make a difference and give struggling youth an opportunity he never had.

  • Things like this gives me hope in humanity....

  • that kid's tearin it up @ 2:06

    Kudos to the guy for making SWEET LEMONADE out of the lemons thrown at him.

  • I wish for more bboys in cambodia =). I can't wait to go down and visit my place. =p

  • Great job, great work and its very nice t see you took the right attitude after life in the U S this is so impressive and selfless of you to take on the younger kids. I actually was on a video shoot in nyc and we shot the first break dancers in the bronx. that was in 1980. They taught me how to do it while i was there. I never dream at how far dancers can go.  I am 63 and I still love it. I can't do it anymore but i make people laugh when i tell them i can. god bless you and tiny tunes.

  • Cool!

  • megusta bailar break dance

    

  • This is Awesome! KK you're the man!

  • beautiful! making a positive change to this world a step at a time.

  • Thats just wacked man! respect

  • word

  • this stuff makes me so happy about the world, I know there is a lot of bad things at the top and the bottom is pushed down so hard. But the people of the world need to help each other especially at the bottom. WE should all boycott anything from the top and help those who struggle.

  • nice job!

  • bboy music fail!! 

  • สุดยอด ขอชื่นชม

  • wait what?!? u can just get deported to other countries??

  • @Gold13n13gg yeah thats what I didn't understand

  • @Gold13n13gg Messed up system... since prisons are becoming over crowded, those not born in the U.S. can be deported, even for crimes committed years ago; ridiculous, and yet the government tries to justify these deportations. Search for Independent Lens: "Sentenced Home", a documentary on three men being deported, despite residing in America most of their lives.

    /watch?v=41aj9llh8RA

  • @Gold13n13gg Yes, he is not an American citizen so he was deported to his family's birth country even though he has never been or lived there.

  • @Gold13n13gg he was born in cambodia but grew up in long beach.....not hard to understand, they even explain it in the video lol

  • respect

  • ;-)

    

  • Too bad this guy is dumb as rocks

  • @tehcexymeowmix probably has been through more and knows more about life than you tehcexymeowmix. He's been misguided, you however are dumb.

  • ONG BAK 3 Awesome........ do more karate not breakdancin
