  • When Uprock started it was used by gangs as a way to lessen casualtys and settle disputes.

    The way it was done was, the two gangs came brought there dancers and marked a line(or drew)

    on the floor the dancers could not touch each other and could not pass the line.

    Behind the line on each side were weapons(imaginary) that you had to use to kill your opponent

    uprock was used as a way to kill your opponent without actually killing him.

    Thats why theres a line on the floor, hoped it helped.

  • Rocking came first in the late 60's, toprocks in bboying came around the mid 70's. In a sense, they're two different dances. Like really, just look at what they're doing compared to toprocking, I'm sure thats enough to show how different they are.

  • ROB NASTY!!!

  • I wish this is still the way people settle disputes instead of resulting to bullets, fist fights and jumping one another.

    Hip Hop for life!

  • Time - Edwin Star

  • whats the song?

  • @concreteallstars There are many views in how our dance started (in this case uprock), its all a matter of perspective. And you are not wrong I had heard that before also, about the "apache line". This is why I love hip hop history, I always learn something new. :)

    BtW are you Zuluu smurf from boogie brats?? If so Im a big fan!

  • @BBoyJonB13 i think it was kids who watched gangs form a line, and had potential recruits walk between the line and get punched and kicked in order to join, the kids later got older and from that influenced came the dance, i might be wrong tho,??? i wasnt ther. smurf. MZK

  • When you do Uprock, you're supposed to get down at every fourth beat.

    That's more like Toprock, than actual Uprock.
