[clokwize]

Greatest video on youtube

[M10J10G10]

Dang..it's crazy where this style is now in the world. Thank you OG's for never stopping, and for spreading the truth and love to us younger ones. Hope to get down with some or all of yall one day.

[jensen141]

lols

[wcbombers21]

AMAZING!!

[OptimalMegas]

does anyone know where i can learn or if there is a video how to do the leg movement chuco does?

[clokwize]

this still remains to be my favorite clip on youtube - no lie

[MisterSicOne]

hiphopcreators - dude there are foundation moves to ground moves because ground moves is a style in itself LOL .. its a whole different ballpark then poppin straight up ... Wigz has been one of the most innovative dudes when it comes to ground moves , how you gonna diss on him LOL

[Blackviolinist24]

I know I'm good I know compete with great poppers but these are those perfect art dancers that will make you want to go back and practice nothing short of awsomely amazing that it was long ago and they were that great

[djprovok]

dam respect! so sick

[TheUnholyCrosss]

1:57 is teh best

[Darksaige]

chuco owns the ground. so sick

[wealthonthego]

i was a san diego poppin fool back in the 80's "snake hips" watching this took me back. who ever said is right about the music, that shit is hot. gonna go dig out my old long play records and spin a few for old time sake.

[sagewise1]

Ive seen this many times and have never dropped a comment so here it is... This shit was nasty as fuck, and will always be dope....Yall are most def an inspiration to many of us...

peace n blessings

[kingboogalootut1]

love the jackets strate OG cause thats how we row back in the days

keep tutin on em

[totaljett]

Granted they're getting down but here is where you see the old school style started to fade. There's alot of movement from these Kats but lack the hard popping from the old school that was jaw dropping.

[egocrusher]

The thing is everything was jaw droppin then. i wouldn't want to have that hard popping from the old school. But the hard poppin yeah. If you can't innovate, you're a featherweight.

[theyoungcommander]

@totaljett, no disrespect but I'm not sure I understand ur comment.

Wen u say "Lack hard popping" u can't possibly mean hitting. Chuco and Animation are undoubtably some of the hardest hitters in the game. I mean that literally. Those cats hit hard as fuck. And for me, that's what makes them jaw dropping. The energy and the way they can explode into a wave or float or leg roll.

Both these cats are relevant to this day.

[totaljett]

I dig your rap and I don't mean to take away from these kats. I guess it comes down to preference. After watching Breakin as a kid, that set standard for me. Pop N Taco and Turbo displayed hitting is the gospel to me. For example, Meeting in the Ladies Room Video has Pop N Taco killing the hit and along with the other poppers in the video. Even when it comes to Pop N Taco, you have to view his old videos from back in the 80's & 90's to see that hard ass hitting because current is looser.

[theyoungcommander]

Yeah, I'm well aware of Taco and Shrimp (Turbo). They are legends. But I urge you to do some more research on these two men, Chuco and Mr. Animation. I think you'll change your mind as far as their hitting.

These cats are equal legends to the two cats you mentioned.

And if you wanna see some new school cats who hit, check out Rashaad of the Assassins DC crew.

Either way, peace out.

[totaljett]

@theyoungcommander Cool, I'll do that.

[mykeog]

I Dont think Cats jumped on the Bandwagon, I am 47 now and I began in 75 or 76, There were so many Great Dancers from My Era that ALL OF US, Truly never found a legitimate outlet for our skills. For some Prison and for others Family, Kids and Payin Rent in the BAY AREA. So TRY to put yourself in Our Shoes. Understand this I Feel that if a Person really Loves this Art Form It will never Die inside them. Also as a OOOG Popper I would like to Personally Thank all the Dancers on the Front Line.

[totaljett]

Got damn this music still hot! It runs through your body!

[dulaone]

i would luv 2 see mr animation battle salah.....my money is on MR. A

[gesster1]

yo i too was one of those dancers of old that held down venice, club radio,and all the other spots. outside of bruno,pete, sug,and the others that went over seas we all got passed up but dont ever forget the ROOTS "FRESNO LONG BEACH CARSON AND COMPTON"til a betterv day much love!

[Evilnorther]

and don't forget about Frisco, San Diego and San Jose :]

[themoose213]

i saw mr. animation at venice, so funny, so charismatic, so wise. made such an impression on me

[Kyleboy337]

Mr. Animation is one of the hardest hitters.... Man that dude hits hard...lol Keep it up bro!

[funkman70]

Chuco rippin it up with one arm! That shows heart & love for the dance,nothing was going to stop him from performing that day.

[danofnw10]

About 4 years ago I ran into Mr animation at a Santa Monica gas station. He was living out of his car. Somehow it just isn't fair that rap pioneers make millions but the dance guys - who at least as talented (and in some cases as fit as athletes) get nothing..............

[clokwize]

who cares, all the propoganda bullshit is going to stop VERY soon. While the O.G.s have unlimited respect from people who actually understand the culture instead of these hypnotized kids. Thats why they are still doing it - its not about money

[danofw12]

Big up to clockwize. The man is talking sense. It's too easy to listen to a Jay Z album and think it's all about the money. It just isn't. Guys like Mr Animation help define a movement. He will go down in history as one of the finest - and the number #1 guy as far as I'm concerned.

[OGCriper]

lol the dancers do it out of fun, and professionell dancers also get money, so what lol, the deal is, that the musicians sell thousands of tapes, the dancers just do it live, at least most of em

[Riaz125]

Chuco's crazy, some of the best footwork and ground moves I've seen.

[HIPHOPCREATORS]

Aight now I know were wiggles got the Knees moves from biters ha ha chuco fresh bee HIP HOP CREATORS THUMBS UP

[Evilnorther]

yes, Pexster, thank you for the comment... Chuco has it - VERY ADVANCED FLOOR WORK...

+ the song by Cybotron - Clear is totally awesome

[terronkeem]

Damn Mr. Animation had a Mean Lean

[OrangeMiddle]

Chuco and Mr. Re nothin but sickness, real dope stuff .. Check out my vid of them.

[duiesunn]

[kunsura]

chuco, leg poping is incredible, I wish I had practice more on my leg work; chuco kills it with the leg popping!

[420LaYzIe420]

Y DOESNT ANYONE DO THIS ANYMORE!!!

[jameskoikoi]

[clokwize]

This is the dopest video Ive ever seen.

[mangimosbii]

[509berserker]

man poppin hella sick man i know because im a popper my self i kick it with reds from soul felons and other breakers and me and my brothers have been doin it up for a long time but yeah you guys are hells bad

[faifaalelei]

man I miss the old days, when poppin first hit the mainstream that shit spread like fire, not just in the U.S but internationally, Its sort of a universal language. Much love to the originators(Boogaloos and Lockin, Mr.pete) and those who are still doing it. Chuco, Mr. Re, Mr. wiggles(personal favorite), Mr. animation and a whole bunch.

[freestylediamond]

Chuco, BBoy Ivan, Mr. Re, Animation are top notch skilled performers who has made major contributions to the art. Of course, there are others who paved the way for these artists, but at the same time they have brought many into this kingdom.

[Evilnorther]

Sure... But don't forget about other OG's such as Midnight, Tic a Lot, Flat Top..etc..etc.. : )

[egocrusher]

True, there were poppers that paved the way for us...but they all stopped. We didn't. Og's like Midnight,Tic a Lot, etc, etc....as evilnorther mentioned decided to jump on the bandwagon which is cool...but don't compare me, Mr. Animation,Mr. Re,Wiggles to those guys.They weren't around when it counted during the dark dark ages of Bboying and Poppin. There are only a hand full of "original saviors"...Chuco

[Evilnorther]

I don't compare...

Chuco, I know about the dark ages of Bboying and Poppin... and Props to Air Force Crew for keepin Bboying and Poppin alive...

And yes... y have VERY STRONG floor work...

[zuluboogieno1]

chucos leg work on the ground is naaaaaaaaaaasty!!!!!!

[Darksaige]

Mr Animation has been my homey since I first saw him on a TRIBAL VHS tape back in like 96 or 97 but Chuco was a beast. I never knew about him until now.

[Majesticon]

[Evilnorther]

Re is 1 of the best... "Storm" is dope in ticking...

[nortekiller]
