  • Full force was pumped up.....

  • it's a battle

  • BMFF = too crazy breakdancing

    Rocksteady = too crazy b-boying

  • both crew used "acrobatic things" and both crews used foundation. I know rsc is legend, but guys, stop hatin' on bmff

  • @tremerin1 the battle monkeys & full force crew don't respect the other b boy's turns, they jump around & yell like little hos... I'm not hatin but if I was one of the rcksteady crew members I would have dropped one of them hos cause they don't get back up. Big ups to the real b boys... OLD SCHOOL breakers RSC

  • the trick BMFF did at the end was shit, i dont kno why they went ape shit, maybe thats the tactic, get excited enough and the croud will think it must have been hard to do, it didnt look easy just crap, who actually won?

  • song at 2:26 please

  • Comment removed

  • hahahahah look at 5:35 lol crazy legs was lik yoo let them battle then i he was like : go ahead hahahah

  • RSC for life! C'mon people! Did you even watch it carefully ? 2:05 Heeey! Somebody is just rocking you ! and you are doing ..nothing? 3:48 WTF? is he krumping? you gotta be kiddin! do you know that for bboys there's something named Uprock? 4:30 Dude! That's House! You are supossed to be breaking!

    You guys who said that BB/FF won, should be embarrased.

  • BM/FF= bboying, RSC=break dancing

  • BM/FF won in my opinion because they had fun. They loved what they were doing. RSC took it little to serious.

  • song list?

  • There is ZERO bboy element to BMFF's style. Strictly acrobatics. Not only that, they actin like fools, jumping around like EVERY move they do is original, and never been seen before. Can't have a battle when one team NEVER leaves the floor. There were no kinds of original elements to their style. Make no mistake- they're good "breakdancers"/acrobats, but not BBOYS by any means.

  • Rock Steady Crew for LIFE!!

  • that was a ass raping

  • @SIRCHIMPNECK nah ,RSC has more a classical style where as BM are all areal shit . Was pretty even just BM are louder , looks like their in their house more louder and more people in their crew. RSC did not get smashed . I'd give it to BM though

  • bm/ff aint breakdancing. they're tryin to clown RSC with powermoves and hollywood dance troupe gay shit. no respect. plus fuck their cheerleader squad. RSC

  • Music, please ?

  • Forget about the Europeans running things in b-boyin'. NY is and always will be the birth place of b-boys. Young ethnic urban Americans invented a dance that started as an important element in the hip-hop culture. I give the kids overseas credit for keeping the culture alive and taking it to another level. They're good w/ the gymnastics but, for me it's hard not to appreciate the old school more.

  • @NEELSAN76 Im pretty sure Battle Monkeys & Full Force are from Cali...

  • I love thr RSC from back in the day...but they are totally outclassed here...its a shame. the european & asian crews seem to be running thing nowadays!

  • @flexcamp yea the only reason its like that cuz young cats messed up what REAL breakdancing waz all about, now they tricking and stuff doing gymnastis.........but u gotta do what u gotta do to when the crowd so.......the present matters

  • I love thr RSC from back in the day...but they are totally outclassed here...its a shame. the european & asias crews seem to be running thing nowadays!

  • fullforce

    

  • @SIRCHIMPNECK agreed

  • Comment removed

  • All I can say yeah its ashame RSC is not that good anymore during my days OK Full force and battle monkeys smashed them but the BIGGEST question is when are we gonna reclaim the throne of BBOYING from the JAPANESE,KOREANS and the FRENCH esp the EUROPEANS when they are together.Its been a while we got the trophy as a group battle in individual we got machine,omar and ronnie but as a crew idk esp in BOTY.

  • Comment removed

  • @SIRCHIMPNECK

    fuck outta here.....they had more dick riders but that's it!

    but on the really it was a great battle Sirchimpneck

  • sound like thos ecats had mad crowd help but on the really that was a tight battle but RSC all day get real! stop screaming like bitches..n let them get a fair one in....

  • I was 13 when "Hey You" came out... who cares who wins... rsc, nycb, bst,... it's all good... enjoy... I did back in 83...

  • full force rocks!

  • nice

  • Brings Back AWSOME MEMORIES....Battle Monkeys took it

  • this was filmed at an old abondonded train depot in the south of france.in 88

  • Crazy legs didn't do that good

  • fll force smashed the other bitches

  • Full Force went hard great battle

  • Great battle for real,but Im gonna have to give it to battle monkeys/fullforce.

  • 3:40 co to za kawalek?? what kind of music??thank you

  • hey pipol! without the RSC/NYZ BREAKERS this boiz wouldnt even exist in d bboy industry...

  • Comment removed

  • Respect to the NY stilos, as it should be for pop locking in Cali !

  • Everybody acts so tough during the battles...i never understood that.  please advise

  • @release10 In a battle they used to be the non violent solution to turf warz but the mentality in a battle is you hate them and they are your enemy so you have to crush them no matter what

  • rock steady crew had way more footwork

    youngsters these days have no respect..

  • @SIRCHIMPNECK not really. Depends if you like b boys with flow and effortless style or b boys who are more into blow ups and tricks. RSC for me. But thats my opinion. Does not mean im right?

  • @SIRCHIMPNECK

    Co-Sign!

    When they flipped dude around at the end, it was a wrap!

    RSC knew they got smashed!

  • wow as crazy as RSC was those guys were crack....wow amazing!!

  • RSC from tha 70's n' 80's. Pay respect to the pioneers of the style.  RSC been doin' this foreva and I'd like to see these guyz at they're age. Just remember tha pioneers who were puttin' it down for tha love back in NYC.

  • are you niggas commenting stupid ...battle monkeys ain breakin ...you gatta be blind  rock steady thought they was ganna come through and kill ....lol ahhahahahhahaha

  • The BM/FF Crew AIN"T BREAKIN!! They Look More Like an Acrobatics Team...The Crowd Just Hyped Up by all the Flips&Twist,Their Barely Doin Any, if at all No Kinda Floor/Foot Work!! They Need 2 Be in a Circus or Gymnastics Team-That ain't B-Boyin!! RSC All The WAY!!!

  • @ONEABOVEALL30 ...true that!

  • @ONEABOVEALL30 Let it go dont get too caught up in nostalgic feelings cause bboying has evolved foot work aint the only kind of bboying anymore there is abstract, footwork, power, blowups, floats, and other styles i probly havent heard of yet but it doesnt mesn it aint bboying just means now we defy gravity stop hating on the new school and respect everyones its about expression and sharing the art not hating and disrespecting

  • @ONEABOVEALL30 It's mostly cuz BM/FF is from the west coast and so they're getting that support from a west coast crowd.  I think RSC took it and I lived in Cali all my life

  • @ONEABOVEALL30 You sound like a RSC Stan. What video were you watching homie? RSC got housed!

  • @ONEABOVEALL30 Amen to that. Indeed where's the uprock, the floor work? I remember when every crew had their popper/locker too. Nowadays it does seem more of a gymnastic event.....who can do a double backflip with twist and then prance about whooping like a goon. Respect to todays kids for their athletic ability and creativity though, but give me a VHS of the NYCB's and RSC from the 80's any day. Or maybe I'm just too old and envious now lol!! Peace.

  • @ONEABOVEALL30 wtf? did you even see the video? they had all 3 elements of breackdance: toprock, floorwork, and power moves. flips are part of power moves.

  • @Killerboot369 No, power moves are that, power moves, flips and stuff are somthing like an extra, they're mean to make your dance look a bit better, but that is not dancing, 'cause any way, bboying it's about that, DANCING. Respects man, I'm new school but somebody I know and it's like my teacher in hip hop taught me about this. And breakin is not jumpin, is not wrong but it is supposed to be about dancing.

  • @facuss09 you cant prove that flips arent dance. every bboy including myself put acrobatics in to a routine, which makes it a dance move. hand hops and air flares are based of a hand stand which is gymnastic move. there are many more examples that prove you wrong.

  • @Killerboot369 oh yes I can,lets look for dance on the web,you may find sme people tricking,but if u look for tricking, you will find that,Tricks not dance.I said,is not wrong to make your dance look prettier with a couple of jumps or make some tricks for your entrance, but, in a battle would you say that is better some gimnastic guy that didn't make a top rock and came in with a front flip and goes to airtrack and ends with an one hand stand against a guy who comes in with such a top rock,

  • @Killerboot369 goes down,some really good looking footwork ,then I dont know, windmill and an airchair,add that he is also killing beats,who is better bboy?I'll tell you,theres only one bboy. Why?cause one of them has just dance,the other one has just shown some great skills but he didnt dance.U're right, flares are acrobatics considered as power move, but gymnastics also use music in their presentations but that doesn't mean they are dancing,I rather say tricks are like a condiment

  • @facuss09 i couldnt understand the 1st half of your paragraph, but i think we're gonna half to agree to disagree. spectating and judging dance is also opiniotive. :) 

  • @Killerboot369 haha it's ok, I think I agree with u about that, I'm sorry if my englis is too bad, I'm from Argentina, there's no reason to continue arguing my respects bro, peace :)

  • @ONEABOVEALL30 well they are named the battle MONKEYS

  • Comment removed

  • in my opinion bm/full stole the show with flips and tricks thats not really breaking like when q-bert loss to that dude do a fucking hand stand on a turn table. also i think full/bm are like the u got serve version they guys couldnt do WILD STYLE or BEAT STREET. there more like step it up part 3 in 3D, if those guys wernt cheer leading so much for them selves we could of seen who the crowd liked. Rock steady baby.........peace

  • @phreshgraffer So True!!!!

  • wait is rock steady that old crew with mr wiggles and whatnot? when i saw another crew called rock steady waasnt the same people >.<

  • HIP HOP FOR LIFE!!

  • rsc was a little bit too basic with their footwork in this battle. even though this battle was like back in 2005, i'm sure that footwork was at a high lever than that back then. It had to be. :P

  • rsc is just not what they used to be

  • Rock Steady lost, to much style from the other Crews more fresh and new form of breakin.

  • RSC wins you bboying for real!!! style beats power any day of the week ask any real bboy!

  • @danielr202 any real b boy knows that RSC took it. They make to moves look so easy. But they aint!

  • @SIRCHIMPNECK Rock Steady Crew will always be number 1 there is no doubt about that!

  • @GiselaNYC1 Agreed. If it wasnt for them i dunt think breaking would be as widespread as it is now.

  • I love how do knock is making fun of them

  • rock steady crew is still stuck in the old school

    while fullforce and battlemonkeys are like new generation movies

  • lol, the crowd was backing FF, that was bullshit.

    they did stupid circus tricks... no real bboying from them... RS held it down... how its supposed to be.

  • @atangosteven03 Dat's right RSC held it down like real bboys did back in da days. 1LOVE, Giggles.

  • one guy looks like lilou on the battle monkeys side. could lilou have bit his style?

  • MAN......DIZ SHIT SUCKZ!!!!!!!!!

  • these guys aren't the original crew members

  • rock steady got new schooled.

  • Fantastic video, can anyone tell me the name of the audio tracks?

  • i dont like crazy legz atitude in this battle with all the respect i have for this guy.... he shouldnt show anger.... but respect for both crew..... old school and new generation.... new generation took it... it happens

  • When I was in high school I met Crazy legs. This was in the mid 80's when breakin was still big in the U.S. It was at the Devils Nest (night club)on Tremont Ave. The nest hot back then. Nobody in school believed me.

  • Peace to the Rock Steady Crew. They are the best breakers on the planet.

  • How many hours to work out in the break?

  • my dad taught crazy legs how to dance......

  • what are the best shoes to break dance?

  • anything comfortable

  • PUMAS

  • All in all, good battle. Rockadile is my dude with roadrunner footworks & do knock with that disco boogie Cher spirit is timeless. but they was up against some eastcoast bboys that eats cardboard with linoleum dressing on the side...

  • nuff said. the only dope routine BM/FF had was the 3 man set at 1:19. BM/FF did alright but not enough. They were very excited. Mad noisy. Cheerleaders on redbull. lol maybe they was happy that they was battling Crazy legs. The floorkid/crowd is not up on RSC like that. Too gutta for them. Bboys is that house dance swagga is more gentle for them.

  • RSC won this one. They had the bboy essense down pack and their moves was a bit more interesting. Check the transitions and freezes: 3:10 & 5:01

  • @kuzabee

    LOL

  • @AkiraPKMN  LOL

  • @kuzabee

    Mega LOL

  • ok a battle is all about what the crowd and/or judges is lookin for...this battle the power was crowd pleasers .....ya if there was no rsc we might not be here but this is new age rsc first off.....second rsc will always focus more on rockin.....so honestly nowadays they suffer a lil in battles unless its strictly an uprock battle.....so for this battle clearly bm/ff took it.....big ups 2 both

  • @bboyjonnyflare bro....

    battle monkeys none of them really had a complete package.

    they for sure had better tricks but they didnt really try to listen to music. they didnt even really do footworks to the beat.

    and powermoves one rsc guy had a better powermove than any of BM.

    and all of RSC guys had Toprock-Footwork-Freeze/Power package.

    and they were on the beat and they had cleaner execution.

    BM just had better big cheerleader moves.

  • lol u must be a real rsc and old skool fan...thats kool tho bro but i gotta disagree....check out at the beginnin rsc tag team set then bm comes back with the 3 man set...bm was wayyyy more in sync on that....bm was gettin it again in a battle its all about the crowd brotha...and bm played the crowd perfect

  • I would say about that thing

    that 3 man set looked very dynamic and everything.

    but rsc's 2man set i think was harder to hit simultaneously becuz it had more steps in it and had bigger jumping moves.

  • well if they cant hit in sync they should come up with an easier set....bms set wasnt exactly easy-and neither set was on beat at all....on purpose tho i mean they were both just sets not sets to hit those beats....listen to the song and watch the sets they dont ever hit a beat czu they not tryin 2....both sides

  • when did this happen?

  • RSC got taken out on this battle

  • not if u were paying attention

  • If RSC was on the right then yes in my opinion they got served. I know RSC and crazy legs but it is what it is

  • @igotTheSecret Bro watch it again but this time listen to music. and how they do move to the beat. dont focus on them doing flips and random powermoves..

  • very weak/stupid crowd.

  • EZ ROCK is the shit

  • 4:07 ez rock!!

  • E-Z-Roc is what its all about brotha..

  • 3:40 co to za kawalek?? what kind of music??thank you

  • I respect your opinion, but that facts remain it weren't for RC there would be no BM. It's just that simple. BM is good, just like football they got a lot of home field advantge. Not taking anthing away from BM at all. I like their style as well.

  • jolie..............!

  • Well after seeing this video I'll say battle monkeys would make great cheerleaders. they were doing some difficult moves, but for the most part they were doing the simplest things and the crowd would go crazy especially when they do their group cheer finishes. Rock steady wasn't getting much love. How unfortunate,if it wasn't for rock steady those dudes wouldn't be dancing period for they wouldn't know a dam thing about b-boying let alone their over rated cheers.

  • @mekanix1968

    LOL

  • is this the old rsk? or rsc?!?!

  • This is yea pretty old

    It has Crazy Legz, EZ ROC, and TekNYC teknyc musc be hella young in here.

  • @DaSoulCity Not really. He's 34 now, so would've been 27 in this battle. Legs would've been 38, and Easy Roc and Fever would've both been 34.

  • Who's from 3:13? he's cool.

  • crazy legs is his name

  • Thanks but I thought "Crazy legs" is from 41:00 who's wearing Tank top & Short.

  • try again

  • do-knock at 2:30

    beasty then, hair covered beasty now

  • track at 5 30 anyone?

  • I wonder what crazy legs said to the guy from BM @ 5:10, and @ the end when BM/FF did that monster routine move he starts picking up people and moving them off the dance floor - LOL. Peace!

  • he probably cuss that nigga out....

  • what's the song at 4:00?

  • I have seen this video several times and yes the BM had some great moves especially the blow ups and some new moves back then but RSC was solid. Don't let the biased crowd fool you. The battle monkeys did a better job at cheerleading their own moves which in turn got the audience even more into it. I like the BM...they represent the new jacks with their innovative moves but RSC put up a good show as well with their power moves which I didn't see BM do much of. Old skool vs. New Jacks

  • classic battle by the battle monkeys

  • got it thanks my man its manu dibAngo and its called dikalo, anyone know what dikalo is in english i think its an african word? tyvm zamamattiolo PEACE

  • RCS get rapped.....

  • anyone know the name of the first song?

  • manu dibongo. cant remember the songs name... try to find it with ''saxophone''

  • Hahaha!! I waz there rite next to the camera guy. Keep in mind this is kinds old. But BM/FF Were not the only 1nz yelling! They had the whole FSS screaming! Killed rsc! Dnt get me wrong rsc r ill but it waz sad they even left after the battle!!

  • I've known RSC for years, and they ill, but battle monkeys are HILLARIOUS! HAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!! Right on.....

  • RSC get lick up bad...

  • anyone know the first song please i have to get those horns for my i-pod they rock

  • When did this happen?

  • R.S.C are good with their Old School Moves but B.M / F.F rap them with Modern Moves & Combos.

  • Battle Monks , made them leave the building  , though , damn lol .

  • anyone know the name of the first tune?

  • if RSC is on the right then they lost maybe if it wasn't called a crew and they were 1r's then yea but i think FFC took it as a crew, sick little monkey flips out of know where who the hell was that little guy? they throw around.

  • Good dancers !

  • RSC destroyed them! so much more fluent with there one on ones.. FF had one guy that was awesome - RSC had 3 guys do killa job..

  • RSC crew was way more clean. if it was a cheerleader battle then yeah give it to the other crew. but breakin. RSC had em

  • 3:37 the guy dancin clearly wasnt done and a guy gets in the way messin up his move

  • Comment removed

  • respects for rsc..althought it's obvious who the winner was

  • so does anyone know the first song? love those funky horns!

  • everyone who is saying RSC took this is just on RSC d*ck. You know they lost... Keep it real!!! I've always liked RSC but we gotta keep it real fellaz and give credit where credit is due. Peace

  • RSC didnt get destroyed lol, all the yelling and screamin is from FFC. lol... aint even a battle.. just a buncha offbeat/screamin girls. RSC was actually usin the music much better solo sets.

  • full force lost for real they would good not going to front but thay fell off and started to get sloppy they where pulling each others wait and shit

  • Super crew vs. the new rocksteady crew.WEst vs east

  • Im Old Skool circa 1984...I ve nvr seen this clip and if I was a judge Battle Monkies stole the show..RSC has some whack group syncs....and their individuality was whack...Sure Battle monkies showed some Crown -ooh shit but as far as some of thier footwork and the flow with the beat they were clearly the WINNERS...Straight up!!!

  • RSC will always be respected as pioneers but it's time for them to hand over their crown. Don't hate the player, hate the game homie...

  • Word. RSC won this. Sets look better.

  • idk why everyone thinks fullforce flat out won this battle, they had nicely synced commando sets and do knock was crowd pleasing, but as for individual sets in total RSC murdered this shit.

  • Listen;Battle Monkeys/Full Force won that battle but that kid at around 3:10 had the best routine.

    First he gave them a little stand up routine and then he spinned and spinned the routine all the way out.

    ROCK STEADY CREW BOI .

  • This isn't about who the pioneers are, this is a straight up battle, and just by watching this video, the Battle Monkeys and full force crew not only beat RSC, they Spanked them badly. It wasn't even a contest, with the exception of EZ rock who is also from the West Coast siding with RSC, there wasnt a battle at all..New GEneration of Breakers which are dominated by the WEST Coast.

  • rock steady get destroyed... crazy legs s all mad... pfff.... i dont like is attitude during this battle...

  • i love this battle it showed how the new school cats from the left coast brought there A game to Rocksteady!!!! nuff respect.

  • do knock punked out crazylegs....hahah

  • Super Cr3w took this. I ddnt like RSC routines they were out of sync.

  • who could give me the names of the battle between killafornia from ground zero vs bboy-summyt9 2003 could anyone please give me the names or in the forums please break dance ....

  • jaxis96 you are THE MAN tyvm
