You can tell this scene took a few times to do....Watch when Lee comes out he has his knee pad on but when he finishes his backspin...the knee pad mysteriously has vanished...lol...still one of my FAVORITE MOVIES...
@ imanoobsorry, perceptibly young and hasn't got a clue, I was breaking b4 u was even thought of!! I now 45yrs young but still got my street respect, do u even know who Arthur Baker or Afrika Bambaataa is? Guess not, look it up; Afrika Bambaataa-American DJ from the South Bronx, who was instrumental in the early development of hip hop throughout the 1980s / Arthur Baker (born April 22, 1955) is an American music producer! .....learn ur history or 'Hip Hop' b4 u eva think of diss'n 'BeatStreet'
@bgreen991 much respect to you, i honestly know very little about the history, i do know who afrika bambata is and i do my best to learn it.. im not dissin beat street. this movie was really the few movies that had an impact on me.. i was reading through the comments and i read alot of comments saying like this isnt breakdance and my comment was implying that its REAL BBOYING. not just breakdance. thanks for being prat of the history. mad respect
Im tryin to convince the young pups at work that we actually used to dance battle back in the day ! he just wont believe that we used walk about with a rolled up lino and a blaster , lookin for crews to burn ! kids today pffft ............bambatta !
yo this is the best......... better than todays break dancers....this is OLD SKOOL im in my 40s & still play this loud >>>>> my kids also love the movies .. this has nothing on todays crap..... so BITE ME
This is cool to see where it all came from...however, break dancers are much better now then they were then....I made this comment because I seen some people commenting saying that this is true break dancing...it was break dancing then and people that do it today still break dance.
@MultiPizzapizza i think u miss the point!!!. there are many breakers today - most of them could enter the olympics as gymnasts! and many of them especially the koreans and other asians look like scruffy students!!!. most of their floorwork is absolute shit but they do have some great powermoves - hence my terming them as gymnasts. look at the guys here. all look the part. super clean footwork and every move in general is clean and has excellent form plus they dress in a clean, street attire.
@topgeezer555 to me whats real about this footage and just hiphop in general is back in this time, it was done from the heart. Those who do it now, practice in a nice gym. It was practiced back then in a park on cement with cardboard. All those skills were honed right there in the street. Thats what birthed hiphop.
But all in all Im glad there's at least SOME folk out there trying to keep it alive, since it's went all to hell.
@Lcd4lbad yeah totally agree!. i went on a bboy physicx video - a korean bboy and the uploader had the nerve to say he was the best bboy ever. i checked out the video and all he did was variations of handstands!. no way he is the best ever. a stupid, ridiculous comment. as u rightly said today the bboys will be in their nice gyms checking out youtube, pausing it, biting moves etc. back in the 80s it was raw, real and no pc to try and bite anyone's move. people did it for the love of bboying
@topgeezer555 MANY b-boys today still do top rocks, footwork, style but koreans apart from born and redfoot do look like gymnasts.....yr rite. But to me breakin is a million times better today in everyway and if it wasnt for breakin today it would just be a fad that nobody did or cared about anymore. Windmills and flares, 1990's, bk flips are still dynamic moves that breakers did in the 80's....those are the things that attracts u to it in the first place,...then u learn its about dancing too.
@19daze98 i think u make some good points. i see some guys today do some top moves and like i said some could be olympic gymnasts like the koreans but very few bboys today have style. type bboy float in youtube and check out his vid - pure style in everything he does. i found the puerto rican bboys of the early 80s just had style in abundance and were pioneers in many ways bringing breaking to the mainstream. if it was not for them u and i, the koreans etc would not be talking about it now.
@topgeezer555 v.nice style(seen it)he does headspins and back flips 2 which is a acrobatic move, bk flips are considered gymnastics.Headspin is power move, he does turtles - same as a ufo in gymnastics..it's just funny to me I see it on alot of old skool vids "todays bboyin is just gymnastics" like old skool breakin was just dancing on yr feet when it clearly isnt lol. Yr rite nice raw stylish ftwk bk then but the dancing was mainly just an indian step, bit of up-rock.
@19daze98 haha. i think u miss the point here guy. float trained people like chino/powerful pexter/alien ness - chino and pex are in nycb in this video. he was wayy ahead of his time coming out with the moves that u saw in 81/82 well before most other bboys. He was also a complete bboy - he could do pretty much everything. Lastly - re style look at his top rock and he has the fastest, cleanest footwork I have seen. Not all over the place like the so called bboy greats of today.
@topgeezer555 yea that vid shows he was ahead of his time and was all round but when ever I see old skool b-boys '"dancing" (using the music) it's mainly just an indian step (cross over step) of course it was just starting out bk then but really not alot of musicality. Check "bboy born rockdance" or "YNOT killing the beat" and listen, it's mainly freestyling using the beat and words with the original music too...alot more complex steps.
@19daze98 Oh and he is very humble!. He rarely mentions that he trained and inspired the bboys who made it - e.g the nycb guys. He was part of the incredible breakers who were by all accounts - incredible!!. In RSC the only bboy worth noting was kuriyaki - he was a complete bboy - he could do everything and had a phenomenal windmill!!.I will check out some of the new skool guys u mention. I have to say the 1990s and 2000s some of the new school guys do are amazing. Very few have style though...
@topgeezer555 Search bboy casper, bboy born, red foot, cloud, thesis, machine, the whole of flo mo crew lol, skill methodz, rock steady crew lol.....if u wana see new skool b-boys who have nice style plus more! maybe u already know of them? if u dont check em out, think u would like?
@19daze98 Btw float created a lot of the moves that others claimed at a later date...all history now though...the best new school bboy i have seen is bboy josh from the incredible breakers (new chapter i think). absolutely amazing - and all his moves are so clean, fresh and tight and executed with precision. check him out. i think he must easily be the best bboy on the planet and one of the best, if not the best ever...he has some vids on youtube...
@topgeezer555 The only breaker called josh I found was a skill methodz crew breaker...not sure if its the same guy but he as dope. LOL ....if u like 1990's check "cico world record - 27" or "master yann 2000 world record - 28" / "kaku 2000's". At the end of the day different breakers like to do different things. The most stylish bboy I have seen is "Bboy cloud".
@19daze98 yes same guy - check out his vid - incredible b-boy josh. my issue with people like cico is that he looks and dresses like a student - and has no style or charisma. he may as well be an olympic gymnast - good technique on the 1990s but not much else....yes some of the older bboys had limited moves...that is why people like float are legends. he was doing air tracks, halos etc back in 81/ 82! way ahead of his time! today bboy josh is the best i have seen - so many moves executed so well
@topgeezer555 Yea cico loos like a pure gymnast....it's just you mentioned 1990's and he has the unoffical world record that I thought you might not have seen. I looked at that vid and I didnt see any originality in his moves - long ass clean power but no originality plus his footwork is nothing compared to bboys like born, casper or redfoot who do footwork on beat...maybe he does too I couldnt tell coz the music is dubbed over it. Haha where was the slopply shit in the bboys I mentioned?
@19daze98 let me explain things another way. when u look at a bboy u look for the wow factor. with bboy josh nothing original in his moves as u said - but he executed to perfection. i look at him and i am like wow. u can't criticise him in any way apart from lack of originality BUT all the bboys u mentioned have nothing original about them. they just copy and practice old school moves to a high level. and then i think u cant get into float too much as he is old school but he was an original....
@19daze98 dont forget a lot of these breakers specialise in 1 or 2 moves...both old school and new school...that is why breakers like b-boy josh, float, lil alex and kuriyaki are legends as they mastered many and could perform virtually every move. any breaker can practice one move forever until they have mastered it but to have so many different moves takes a lot of skill and technique. that to me is a true breaker. sorry i know breaker is not a politically correct term but i like to use it...
@19daze98 btw there is another video entitled b-boy josh with some ruskie i think doing some weird shit...that is not the b-boy josh i am referring to. type in incredible b-boy josh. excellence of execution in all his moves - the guy can do everything - flares, air tracks, the cleanest windmills, all types of headspins, 1990s, 2000s....the list goes on. and he executes every move with style, precision and poise. no sloppy shit like some of the so called bboys that u mention. a true bboy legend!
@topgeezer555 Think your impressed more with the fact that they're "legends" right? lol which in a way it's true if you look at it as contributing to breakin' but in a battle....legends get smoked by nu skool bboys apart from ken swift haha. Check "lilou killed alienness" lol> anyways I know loads of old skool bboys where I live...I have a lot of respect for them.
@19daze98 and created so many moves...so it seems like u pick and choose what u want to which is okay. everyone is entitled to their opinion. but i challnge u to find a better all round bboy today then bboy josh - none come to mind. i will reserve judgement on the bboys u mentioned but many today have very sloppy footwork and look like shit - so i used sloppy generically. for me bboying was all about looking streetsmart with the attitude and the moves. many bboys today look like scruffy students
@19daze98 and no i am not impressed by the fact they are "legends". to be honest i dont really rate certain so called legends as they are very one dimensional. to be a legend u have to be able to elevate yourself with a complete set of moves not just one or two and that is my problem with many bboys today and from the past. the names i mentioned are true legends in my eyes as they basically could do everything. that is my definition of a legend - not 28 1990s and not much else...
@topgeezer555 yea it's called "abstract style" lots of bboys do it....flexible shit basically. "rubber legz" / Benji (sort of started it as I'm aware) / 'lil crabe" / theres actually a full crew of abstract breakers called "the freak show"....you mite find them interesting yet scary lol
@19daze98 i really dont like abstract style - they all look like they are on acid...footwork is all over the place. i always believe u should execute every move to perfection and be able to do a variety of moves - again all to perfection. if u can do that then u are getting there to be a true bboy. but i am old school - maybe some people like this abstract shit witht he legs all over the place etc...but not for me:)
@topgeezer555 lol. I like watching different styles. Incredible josh...he reminded me of ivan. When I look at a breaker, I look for musicality...are they hitting beats with everything and have original style? So the best to me would be either cloud, casper, born or do knock = all round bboys & great dancers. Refering bk to yr first post I think josh actually looks more like a gymnast than the bboys I mentioned tbh. Didnt see him just rockin a beat like ynot or born.
@19daze98 yeas incredible josh is a bit like ivan - but ivan probably had faster windmills (close though) and i agree he is like a gymnast. but the thing that makes him stand out - is every move he does is done with clinical precision and often very fast and he has a certain amount of style. footwork is probably his weak point but again it is clean. other key thing is that he has mastered all the main moves which very few others have. i agree re rocking to the beat. very few bboys do that.
@MultiPizzapizza they dont dress like street vagabonds in shorts, scruffy tshirts, hair all ove rth eplace like the koreans. the other key thing and this goes mainly for the puerto ricans as they have an abundance of style and class. the koreans and their like are super sloppy and look like shit!!!.check ut a video entitled bboy float - float is one of the best ever. wayyy ahead of his time. check out his footwork, his dress and his excellence of execution. then come back and talk.
B-D Nowadays Got To A Serious Olympic Discipline & Worth Considering. Back 80's Was Quite Simple. Not Harm Meant. Just A Point. Straight Talk Fellaz. Sorry Bout.
ahhh so many fundamental moves. You can truly appreciate the top rocks and the down rocks, unlike today's bboy scene where all the focus is on power moves and freezes and no emphasis on top rocks.
Damn right...now the only people that go to the club are thugs trying to look tough with their guns and golddiggers looking for a sugar daddy. And like you said the music is ridiculously bad...with a few (VERY few) exceptionswith hits. One of the main reasons I don't even go out anymore. I miss those days for real.

THE ROCK STEADY CREW VS THE NYS BREAKERS AKA ''THE FLOOR LORDS'',IS A CLASSIC.LEGEND HAS IT THAT THE CREW BATTLED IN THERE EARLY DAYS WHEN THE FLOOR LORDS WERE BROUGHT IN TO MAKE THE ROCK STEADY CREW LOOK GOOD,BEFORE THEY BECAME ESTABLISHED,ONLY LATER ON THEY BECAME A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH CREATING ''THE POWER MOVES'',THAT L.A .EARLY ON TOOK TO ANOTHER LEVEL.
Man.. this was the battle..I don't remember seeing Beat Street back in the days and I don't know why..saw Breaking the movie which is nothing but crap in comparison to these guys!!!
This movie was laughable even in the 80's...but when you look at it now...at least then kids had to have talent to be cool...Now it is just about how you wear your pants, what you listen to, what hat & sneakers you sport...whoever thought this would be the "old man" comment that it is.
@ZOBONDO Actually I did grow up during that time. So one thing for sure, you are wrong. Break dancing was popular for about 15 minutes in the eighties...everyone thought they were clowns, so it died quickly. Unfortunately you didn't.
Agreed, I remember those days. That is true break dancing...not the BS crap we see today. Music has changed, that is a given...but the music in the 80's and breakdancing will always reign. Hell at 39 years of age, I can still do the windmill. Never too old. I'm guess I'm blessed with still looking so young for my age and not lost a step.
lol..I am not a dude!! I am a 47 year old original Bgirl.I have been a bgirl for 28 years and still doing it! Much respekt to Crazy Legs as would be expected..he has kept the movement alive but Kuriaki (RIP) was always my man. My name comes from his classic Track Freeze..!! hence why he will always be my main man.Respekt to old skool. without it you would not have new skool. peace, love and respekt to all, old and new! The culture if what its all about!! TG x
@ZOBONDO totally agree. crazy legs took over the rsc from some of the older original members and was influential in that regard but as a dancer he is nowhere near the likes of kuriaki, powerful pexter, chino, etc...he does seem quite political also - kicking out prince ken swift in recent years from rsc as he felt him to be a threat to himself in terms of status and i would imagine the financial spin offs etc...which is a pity as ken swift had been in the crew for a long, long time...petty!
@Jay1898 good to hear from you???? crazy legs was the ASSHOLE who said breakers revenge didnt belong in this battle !! what a PRICK also his moves where mediocre and LAME his windmills where ;laughable so what if he took off his sneakers to finsh the move BIG DEAL man i saw better breakers in the days of the eraly 80's than him but people on here still Licking and kissing his ASS i dont know why all his moves are lame KEN SWIFT should of kncoked him out for that shit happy xmas buddy
@ZOBONDO u know what?. i totally agree with u about breakers revenge. what a fucking prick crazy legs is for dissing one of the best tunes ever!!!. breakers revenge is about as perfect a composition u could get in a record!. if u listen to the full 8 mins it is absolutely amazing and keeps u on the seat of ur chair throughout. arthus baker and the latin rascals are geniuses!. and this prick wanted james brown!. what a fucking dinosaur he is!. pls tell me more about him and kuriaki not getting on
@ZOBONDO actually they say breakdance is where its at! haha!. as for the beef with kuriaki i did hear a little something about it a while back but didnt take too much notice. craxy legs was probably jealous as kuriaki was one of the best around. which crew did he want to be in?. any more kuriaki stories?. what did u hear about him and buck 4 passing away - what were the reasons behind that?.
@ZOBONDO if u have the link for the interview pls PM me buddy. i was around in the early 80s also bud. best time of my life. i was so sad when the whole breaking movement died down - it was and still is the most exciting time of my life. it was so fresh, dynamic, innovative and amazing at the time.....it just blew everyone away - the electro music, the breaking, the graffiti burners....amazing times that sadly will never be repeated...peace out!
@Jay1898 dont have any link i mean Kuriaki and that fool since beat street and WILD STYLE had beefs. didnt you know brow ??? wow thats OLD NEWS lol KURIAKI didnt wanna be in the BRONX rockers with crazy legs , but they had to balance the talent out i suppose . KEN SWIFT said on MTV HIP HOP in 98 that KURIAKI was 1 brother and that crazy legs never gave KURIAKI the respect he deserved !!! if i find a link ill send it to you did u see crazy in willd style >> how LAME when he did turtle
@ZOBONDO Dude thanks for the info about crazy legs and kuriaki. I have been watching alot of stuff about rsc over the last two days and found two clips with crazy legs talking about buck 4, first clip he was talking about how buck 4 was murderd and in the second clip he talks about when rsc started their anniversary thing back in 91 in memory of buck 4 and not once does he mention anything about kuriaki, and that was really pissing me off!
@ZOBONDO Beef or no beef how could crazy legs be so disrepectful! crazy legs has gone way down in my book. Anyway thanks again and if you have any more info on this i would be very greatful. peace... My blood type B BOY POSITIVE!!!
@Jay1898 yeah its sad jay but look on the BRIGHT SIDE at least people like me and you witnessed that great era right right ??? just like i can say i saw MICHAEL JACKSON 2 times ... it will never come back in fashion or style the cardboard , the ghetto blasters, the laces , the graffiti trains NAH NAH HA sorry JAY it aint gonna happen but i and you saw it so think lucky and proud keep in touch i hear in JAPAN and ASIA breakin is kicking of big time LOL peace to u have a nice xmas ok
@ZOBONDO cheers bud. u too have a good xmas. i agree it will never be the same and we should be thankful we were there in the early 80s. breaking really was a worldwide phenomenon then. i heard about crews in australia, yugoslavia, pakistan, etc etc. the other great thing with these days was th eunity of the races. in may area we had whites, chinese, blacks and pakistanis all in one crew - all in it for one thing only and that was the dancing. it was amazing how breaking united the races!!
wow weeeeeee this is a real drift back to the old days of brakedancing in the plaza against glasgow city breakers ,,,remember the rocksteady crew ,,,,wine allly boys all the way no 1.
I used to have a silver Nike windsheeter with Fils trainers and fat laces. A large piece of lino and a shitty boom box, that not only ate tapes, but fucking drained mad batteries. Happy days :D
@RawAngles No problem. I used to love watching this battle in beat street but the NYC rare old battle 1984 beats this one for me. Lil Alex is amazing in it - the amount of moves he could do at such a young age is unreal. He invented quite a few moves like the UFO float also. I checked out his myspace profile once - seems like a very nice guy - doesn't smoke, doesn't drink and still single at age 40. If ever the word legend was to be applied to anyone - it has to be him. He is a living legend!.
@Jay189... Yeah man, Lil Alex in that Apache show at Madison Sq gardens - classic. The shape of his back spin is stylish too, if you look closely he's holding his legs at a strange angle.... Not much more footage of him other than that, unfortunately.
@RawAngles check out this video title on youtube - NYC rare old battle 1984. it is the best battle you will see and has lil alex at his finest. he is so young in the video but his repertoire and variety of moves is phenomenal. best all round breaker that i have seen...let me know what u think. watch the battle in full.
@drewsddy Lisa Fisher - Only Love. Its on youtube, check it out. ur lucky - it took me 25 years to find the name of the artist and the track! and here u have it in a day....courtesy of me!! enjoy - top track!.
I agree, if Lil Alex and Icy ice had been on Beat street's side it would have been over... Even though Buck4's turtle kills most of what they were doing...
@RawAngles agreed re lil alex - not sure about icy ice - great name, but i only ever see him do the same move - always!. as for lil alex he was a one man wrecking crew. guy was the best all round breaker i have seen and was way ahead of his time and so young at the time. he really was phenomenal. he joined nycb after beat street and did a headspin infront of ronald reagan that seemed to go on and on and on....buck 4 does have a great turtle but lil alex had everything...
A fantastic touch that the sound quality of this clip is so good too. So, I can play this little baby through to my large TV and through by "woofers" at social events and get every fucker "at it" !!!!!
You can tell this scene took a few times to do....Watch when Lee comes out he has his knee pad on but when he finishes his backspin...the knee pad mysteriously has vanished...lol...still one of my FAVORITE MOVIES...

He was also a complete bboy - he could do pretty much everything. Lastly - re style look at his top rock and he has the fastest, cleanest footwork I have seen. Not all over the place like the so called bboy greats of today.
topgeezer555 3 weeks ago
@topgeezer555 yea that vid shows he was ahead of his time and was all round but when ever I see old skool b-boys '"dancing" (using the music) it's mainly just an indian step (cross over step) of course it was just starting out bk then but really not alot of musicality. Check "bboy born rockdance" or "YNOT killing the beat" and listen, it's mainly freestyling using the beat and words with the original music too...alot more complex steps.
19daze98 2 weeks ago
@19daze98 Oh and he is very humble!. He rarely mentions that he trained and inspired the bboys who made it - e.g the nycb guys. He was part of the incredible breakers who were by all accounts - incredible!!. In RSC the only bboy worth noting was kuriyaki - he was a complete bboy - he could do everything and had a phenomenal windmill!!.I will check out some of the new skool guys u mention. I have to say the 1990s and 2000s some of the new school guys do are amazing. Very few have style though...
topgeezer555 2 weeks ago
@topgeezer555 Search bboy casper, bboy born, red foot, cloud, thesis, machine, the whole of flo mo crew lol, skill methodz, rock steady crew lol.....if u wana see new skool b-boys who have nice style plus more! maybe u already know of them? if u dont check em out, think u would like?
19daze98 3 weeks ago
@19daze98 Btw float created a lot of the moves that others claimed at a later date...all history now though...the best new school bboy i have seen is bboy josh from the incredible breakers (new chapter i think). absolutely amazing - and all his moves are so clean, fresh and tight and executed with precision. check him out. i think he must easily be the best bboy on the planet and one of the best, if not the best ever...he has some vids on youtube...
topgeezer555 2 weeks ago
@topgeezer555 The only breaker called josh I found was a skill methodz crew breaker...not sure if its the same guy but he as dope. LOL ....if u like 1990's check "cico world record - 27" or "master yann 2000 world record - 28" / "kaku 2000's". At the end of the day different breakers like to do different things. The most stylish bboy I have seen is "Bboy cloud".
19daze98 2 weeks ago
@19daze98 yes same guy - check out his vid - incredible b-boy josh. my issue with people like cico is that he looks and dresses like a student - and has no style or charisma. he may as well be an olympic gymnast - good technique on the 1990s but not much else....yes some of the older bboys had limited moves...that is why people like float are legends. he was doing air tracks, halos etc back in 81/ 82! way ahead of his time! today bboy josh is the best i have seen - so many moves executed so well
topgeezer555 2 weeks ago
@topgeezer555 Yea cico loos like a pure gymnast....it's just you mentioned 1990's and he has the unoffical world record that I thought you might not have seen. I looked at that vid and I didnt see any originality in his moves - long ass clean power but no originality plus his footwork is nothing compared to bboys like born, casper or redfoot who do footwork on beat...maybe he does too I couldnt tell coz the music is dubbed over it. Haha where was the slopply shit in the bboys I mentioned?
19daze98 2 weeks ago
@19daze98 let me explain things another way. when u look at a bboy u look for the wow factor. with bboy josh nothing original in his moves as u said - but he executed to perfection. i look at him and i am like wow. u can't criticise him in any way apart from lack of originality BUT all the bboys u mentioned have nothing original about them. they just copy and practice old school moves to a high level. and then i think u cant get into float too much as he is old school but he was an original....
topgeezer555 2 weeks ago
@19daze98 dont forget a lot of these breakers specialise in 1 or 2 moves...both old school and new school...that is why breakers like b-boy josh, float, lil alex and kuriyaki are legends as they mastered many and could perform virtually every move. any breaker can practice one move forever until they have mastered it but to have so many different moves takes a lot of skill and technique. that to me is a true breaker. sorry i know breaker is not a politically correct term but i like to use it...
topgeezer555 2 weeks ago
@19daze98 btw there is another video entitled b-boy josh with some ruskie i think doing some weird shit...that is not the b-boy josh i am referring to. type in incredible b-boy josh. excellence of execution in all his moves - the guy can do everything - flares, air tracks, the cleanest windmills, all types of headspins, 1990s, 2000s....the list goes on. and he executes every move with style, precision and poise. no sloppy shit like some of the so called bboys that u mention. a true bboy legend!
topgeezer555 2 weeks ago
@topgeezer555 Think your impressed more with the fact that they're "legends" right? lol which in a way it's true if you look at it as contributing to breakin' but in a battle....legends get smoked by nu skool bboys apart from ken swift haha. Check "lilou killed alienness" lol> anyways I know loads of old skool bboys where I live...I have a lot of respect for them.
19daze98 2 weeks ago
@19daze98 and created so many moves...so it seems like u pick and choose what u want to which is okay. everyone is entitled to their opinion. but i challnge u to find a better all round bboy today then bboy josh - none come to mind. i will reserve judgement on the bboys u mentioned but many today have very sloppy footwork and look like shit - so i used sloppy generically. for me bboying was all about looking streetsmart with the attitude and the moves. many bboys today look like scruffy students
topgeezer555 2 weeks ago
@19daze98 and no i am not impressed by the fact they are "legends". to be honest i dont really rate certain so called legends as they are very one dimensional. to be a legend u have to be able to elevate yourself with a complete set of moves not just one or two and that is my problem with many bboys today and from the past. the names i mentioned are true legends in my eyes as they basically could do everything. that is my definition of a legend - not 28 1990s and not much else...
topgeezer555 2 weeks ago
@topgeezer555 yea it's called "abstract style" lots of bboys do it....flexible shit basically. "rubber legz" / Benji (sort of started it as I'm aware) / 'lil crabe" / theres actually a full crew of abstract breakers called "the freak show"....you mite find them interesting yet scary lol
19daze98 2 weeks ago
@19daze98 i really dont like abstract style - they all look like they are on acid...footwork is all over the place. i always believe u should execute every move to perfection and be able to do a variety of moves - again all to perfection. if u can do that then u are getting there to be a true bboy. but i am old school - maybe some people like this abstract shit witht he legs all over the place etc...but not for me:)
topgeezer555 2 weeks ago
@topgeezer555 lol. I like watching different styles. Incredible josh...he reminded me of ivan. When I look at a breaker, I look for musicality...are they hitting beats with everything and have original style? So the best to me would be either cloud, casper, born or do knock = all round bboys & great dancers. Refering bk to yr first post I think josh actually looks more like a gymnast than the bboys I mentioned tbh. Didnt see him just rockin a beat like ynot or born.
19daze98 2 weeks ago
@19daze98 yeas incredible josh is a bit like ivan - but ivan probably had faster windmills (close though) and i agree he is like a gymnast. but the thing that makes him stand out - is every move he does is done with clinical precision and often very fast and he has a certain amount of style. footwork is probably his weak point but again it is clean. other key thing is that he has mastered all the main moves which very few others have. i agree re rocking to the beat. very few bboys do that.
topgeezer555 2 weeks ago
@topgeezer555 Yea rsc where very stylish but didnt commercialize as much as nyc breakers which was a power crew (mainly)
19daze98 3 weeks ago
@MultiPizzapizza they dont dress like street vagabonds in shorts, scruffy tshirts, hair all ove rth eplace like the koreans. the other key thing and this goes mainly for the puerto ricans as they have an abundance of style and class. the koreans and their like are super sloppy and look like shit!!!.check ut a video entitled bboy float - float is one of the best ever. wayyy ahead of his time. check out his footwork, his dress and his excellence of execution. then come back and talk.

@ZOBONDO totally agree. crazy legs took over the rsc from some of the older original members and was influential in that regard but as a dancer he is nowhere near the likes of kuriaki, powerful pexter, chino, etc...he does seem quite political also - kicking out prince ken swift in recent years from rsc as he felt him to be a threat to himself in terms of status and i would imagine the financial spin offs etc...which is a pity as ken swift had been in the crew for a long, long time...petty!

@RawAngles No problem. I used to love watching this battle in beat street but the NYC rare old battle 1984 beats this one for me. Lil Alex is amazing in it - the amount of moves he could do at such a young age is unreal. He invented quite a few moves like the UFO float also. I checked out his myspace profile once - seems like a very nice guy - doesn't smoke, doesn't drink and still single at age 40. If ever the word legend was to be applied to anyone - it has to be him. He is a living legend!.
