Welcome to Hip Hop Movie Club, the show that harmonizes the rhythm of hip hop with the
magic of movies.
2
00:00:06,583 --> 00:00:12,500
Today we're discussing the 2002 documentary, The Freshest Kids, the history of the B-Boy.
3
00:00:12,500 --> 00:00:16,791
We are three old heads who put their old heads together to vibe on these films for you.
4
00:00:16,833 --> 00:00:26,166
I'm Dyno Wright, podcaster, filmmaker, longtime hip hop fan, and I must give a shout out
to my brother, Jey Prime, a real and true B-Boy.
5
00:00:26,666 --> 00:00:28,208
Yeah, Jey Prime.
6
00:00:28,958 --> 00:00:30,000
Yes, sir.
7
00:00:30,291 --> 00:00:34,916
I'm JB, 80s and 90s, nostalgia junkie, longtime hip hop fan.
8
00:00:34,916 --> 00:00:41,583
And man, I was such a fan of the sitcom, What's Happening, featuring Fred 'Rerun' Berry,
who was featured in this documentary.
9
00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:43,000
Nice, nice.
10
00:00:43,458 --> 00:00:50,666
I'm Boogie, a DJ, long time hip hop fan, and I wish that we were never convinced in my
neighborhood that B-Boying was played out.
11
00:00:50,666 --> 00:00:57,625
And they actually talk a little bit about this in the documentary, but one of my favorite
past times to this day is sitting around and watching B-Boy battles.
12
00:00:57,625 --> 00:01:02,416
In this episode we'll answer the question, how important is breakin' to hip hop culture?

00:01:02,416 --> 00:01:06,000
And please hit that subscribe button down below so you won't miss an episode.
14
00:01:06,750 --> 00:01:14,541
The Freshest Kids explores the history and evolution of b-boying, also known as breakin
from its roots in the Bronx to its international explosion.
15
00:01:14,541 --> 00:01:23,708
Archival footage of key figures in the b-boy scene and many hip-hop luminaries dot this
fascinating journey about the enormous impact of breakin on society.
16
00:01:23,875 --> 00:01:26,708
Here are five things you need to know about the freshest kids.
17
00:01:26,708 --> 00:01:29,375
Number one, a Bronx tale.
18
00:01:29,416 --> 00:01:35,291
Born at DJ Kool Herc's house parties in early 70s, this wasn't about manufactured culture.
19
00:01:35,291 --> 00:01:36,666
It was straight from the streets.
20
00:01:36,666 --> 00:01:40,583
Block parties, floors, pure creativity.
21
00:01:40,791 --> 00:01:43,666
Number two, Hollywood used and lost.
22
00:01:43,708 --> 00:01:52,250
From the South Bronx in the 70s to media craze in 1980s when they were featured in movies
from Wild Style to Flashdance, but when the cameras left,
23
00:01:52,458 --> 00:01:54,708
the real culture returned underground.
24
00:01:55,666 --> 00:01:57,625
Number three, the system fought back.
25
00:01:57,625 --> 00:02:06,041
The freshest kids touches on conflicts, arrests and unrest between B-boys and authorities,
especially before breakin turned mainstream and international.
26
00:02:06,250 --> 00:02:08,666
Number four, a cast of thousands.
27
00:02:08,666 --> 00:02:13,916
You might lose count of the many, many hip hop legends, both dancers and rappers seen in
this film.
28
00:02:13,916 --> 00:02:16,958
And number five, dance was never just dance.
29
00:02:16,958 --> 00:02:21,708
It was always about expression over entertainment and resistance over recognition.
30
00:02:21,833 --> 00:02:25,875
Breakin' gave kids power when everything else tried to take it away.
31
00:02:25,875 --> 00:02:28,625
It was instrumental in propelling hip-hop to international heights.
32
00:02:28,625 --> 00:02:29,666
Right on.
33
00:02:29,958 --> 00:02:33,666
So Freshest Kids, this is an amazing documentary.
34
00:02:33,666 --> 00:02:37,458
One of those ones where we look back and like, how have I not seen this yet?
35
00:02:37,458 --> 00:02:44,916
If you really want the whole lineage of breakin and b-boying, this is where you should
begin, honestly.
36
00:02:44,916 --> 00:02:46,916
So first takeaway, we would talk about the Bronx.
37
00:02:46,916 --> 00:02:52,458
So much of the hip hop journey, as we've discussed many times, starts there in the South
Bronx.
38
00:02:52,500 --> 00:02:56,791
DJ Kool Herc with his house parties, breaking over those break beats.
39
00:02:56,791 --> 00:02:57,916
Et cetera.
40
00:02:57,916 --> 00:03:02,666
And you see all the, you see the five elements emerge from the culture.
41
00:03:03,083 --> 00:03:07,875
Not for four elements, but they also talk about the fifth one, you know, like storytelling
as well.
42
00:03:07,875 --> 00:03:09,291
So, but yeah.
43
00:03:09,375 --> 00:03:20,375
one of the quotes that stuck with me, was, Mos Def or Yasiin Bey saying that this culture
had always been challenged and they had the notion of being like lower class and you know,
44
00:03:20,458 --> 00:03:31,833
Not as intellectual or impactful, yet they go and create the subculture that evolves into
a multi-billion dollar industry.
45
00:03:31,833 --> 00:03:34,208
And that's a theme we talk about quite a bit.
46
00:03:34,208 --> 00:03:37,541
And I just love that aspect of it.
47
00:03:37,541 --> 00:03:44,500
And we were just chatting before DJ Kool Herc, the iconic address is 1520 Sedgwick Ave.
48
00:03:44,541 --> 00:03:49,875
And we realized KRS One who's featured quite a bit in this documentary grew up on 1600
Sedgwick.
49
00:03:49,875 --> 00:03:52,666
And it was like legends, right?
50
00:03:52,666 --> 00:03:54,000
Next to each other.
51
00:03:54,416 --> 00:04:03,208
And, yeah, you know, from the Bronx emerges what was pretty much regionalized goes
international.
52
00:04:04,166 --> 00:04:04,583
Yeah.
53
00:04:04,583 --> 00:04:13,875
And Boogie, what do you take away from the, that early aspect of breaking how it, you
know, in seventies and how it takes off from the Bronx.
54
00:04:14,500 --> 00:04:21,083
Yeah, so I really appreciate this documentary because it gave us the inside perspective.
55
00:04:21,083 --> 00:04:26,875
Like you see DJ Kool Hercs in his own words describing how it all started.
56
00:04:26,875 --> 00:04:31,333
And he said, you know, he started doing these parties in the rec room in the building.
57
00:04:31,333 --> 00:04:41,041
And he noticed that, you whenever he was playing music, the crowd would start waiting for
that break when all the instruments in the song would stop.
58
00:04:41,041 --> 00:04:42,375
and you would just hear the beat going.
59
00:04:42,375 --> 00:04:44,500
And then they would all just start dancing to that part.
60
00:04:44,500 --> 00:04:48,375
So he said, you know, after noticing that, said, all right, you know what, I'm going to
buy a couple of records.
61
00:04:48,375 --> 00:04:49,875
So he would buy duplicates.
62
00:04:49,875 --> 00:04:55,125
And he said, I'm going to start looping that break by playing that song over, that part of
the song over and over.
63
00:04:55,125 --> 00:04:57,291
he actually gave it a name called the Merry-Go Round.
64
00:04:57,291 --> 00:05:02,416
And he said, once he started doing that, he would just keep that break going and going and
going.
65
00:05:02,416 --> 00:05:05,041
And it would give the crowd a chance to keep dancing.
66
00:05:05,041 --> 00:05:06,000
He said, now,
67
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,750
you know, different crews would be at these parties or whatever.
68
00:05:08,750 --> 00:05:14,083
And then the dancers would start creating their own signature moves to these breaks.
69
00:05:14,083 --> 00:05:14,958
And he said, okay.
70
00:05:14,958 --> 00:05:21,375
So it was, you know, dancing on that break, which became known as the B-Boy.
71
00:05:21,375 --> 00:05:23,791
And I was like, wow, that's a really cool breakdown.
72
00:05:23,791 --> 00:05:28,000
Because I mean, remember, as far as I remember, was there already.
73
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,458
wasn't there at the beginning.
74
00:05:30,458 --> 00:05:33,208
So it was just something that I saw and was like, oh, this is pretty cool.
75
00:05:33,208 --> 00:05:41,875
But it was kind of good to hear how he actually got the records and had the break and how
the crowd actually started responding to that break.
76
00:05:41,875 --> 00:05:43,083
And that was real good.
77
00:05:43,083 --> 00:05:43,916
It was real cool.
78
00:05:43,916 --> 00:05:51,666
mean, just hearing the different perspectives of some of the respective crews that were
around at the time, different influential breakers, slash B-boys.
79
00:05:51,666 --> 00:05:54,125
I always knew Crazy Legs.
80
00:05:54,125 --> 00:05:57,458
Crazy Legs has always been one of my favorite B-boys from the Rock Steady Crew.
81
00:05:57,583 --> 00:06:04,458
But to hear about him talking about the guy that influenced him, B-boy named Spy I said, I
had never heard of Spy before.
82
00:06:04,458 --> 00:06:05,500
So that was pretty cool.
83
00:06:05,500 --> 00:06:13,458
I'll be like, right, know, like to this day, even though he's not necessarily performing,
Crazy Legs is still an influential person in the hip hop community.
84
00:06:13,458 --> 00:06:14,875
He's always at events.
85
00:06:14,875 --> 00:06:17,291
He's always pushing the culture forward.
86
00:06:17,291 --> 00:06:18,333
He's got merch.
87
00:06:18,333 --> 00:06:19,458
He's at different events.
88
00:06:19,458 --> 00:06:20,291
He's speaking engagements.
89
00:06:20,291 --> 00:06:21,458
He's always...
90
00:06:21,541 --> 00:06:25,208
offered that political commentary the root of hip hop.
91
00:06:25,208 --> 00:06:29,083
to hear him talk about somebody that influenced him was pretty cool.
92
00:06:29,583 --> 00:06:31,166
And he co-produced this film,
93
00:06:31,166 --> 00:06:32,458
Yeah, I caught that.
94
00:06:32,458 --> 00:06:33,541
I was like wow.
95
00:06:33,541 --> 00:06:36,916
The other aspect, like you said, Spy was legendary.
96
00:06:36,916 --> 00:06:37,875
I had never heard of him.
97
00:06:37,875 --> 00:06:47,625
I learned about so many of these other B-boys that deserve so much more praise because
they were pioneers that don't really get their due.
98
00:06:48,250 --> 00:06:57,541
Again, Crazy Legs is one that most of us have heard of if you're in tune with the history
of breakdancing, but Ken Swift, Frosty Freeze, Mr.
99
00:06:57,541 --> 00:07:03,333
Freeze, Spy, Batch, all these guys had their own styles and they influenced
100
00:07:03,333 --> 00:07:07,708
so many people throughout the lineage and then as it becomes mainstream, people were
emulating these guys.
101
00:07:07,708 --> 00:07:09,416
They laid the foundation.
102
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,541
Yeah, there's another aspect that I did appreciate as well.
103
00:07:13,541 --> 00:07:15,458
The Latin recognition.
104
00:07:15,583 --> 00:07:19,208
And that's one thing that I always, I see it all the time on social media.
105
00:07:19,208 --> 00:07:26,583
There's always a debate, you know, from those who know from the Latin community saying,
you know, we were there in the beginning.
106
00:07:26,583 --> 00:07:31,916
And then those who don't know, telling them that they weren't, you know, invalidating them
in the culture.
107
00:07:31,958 --> 00:07:36,166
And this documentary actually does a good job of putting
108
00:07:36,166 --> 00:07:40,083
putting Latin Americans out in the front as well because they were there.
109
00:07:40,083 --> 00:07:42,208
We're all in the same community growing up.
110
00:07:42,208 --> 00:07:50,541
Even, you know, there were white B-boys as well and they featured in the documentary You
see them spinning and doing the same moves and performing just like everyone else.
111
00:07:50,541 --> 00:08:00,375
It's like, it was basically rooted in the culture and for people who were oppressed, who
were poor, underprivileged, no matter what color you were, if you lived in a neighborhood,
112
00:08:00,375 --> 00:08:02,541
you you participated in the culture and you helped,
113
00:08:02,541 --> 00:08:03,833
Nurturing started up.
114
00:08:03,833 --> 00:08:08,416
I like it and I guess your brother Jey Prime would have this sense too.
115
00:08:08,416 --> 00:08:16,125
It's kind of like a code of conduct among b-boys it seems like if you don't if you could
just Go all out, but not lose your cool because it gets intense.
116
00:08:16,125 --> 00:08:24,666
It's like then you're you're a real b-boy like you can you can hang if you Become unhinged
You know that it's like man.
117
00:08:24,666 --> 00:08:26,041
This is not for you.
118
00:08:26,041 --> 00:08:31,583
You know there's this kind of like code of conduct Which which I thought was neat that
they hit on as well
119
00:08:31,583 --> 00:08:32,375
Mm-hmm.
120
00:08:33,083 --> 00:08:42,500
Yeah, that stems from that transition from the gangs into actual crews and that peace
treaty that we've seen in an earlier documentary that we watched not too long ago.
121
00:08:42,875 --> 00:08:48,416
It's like, it's all about keeping the peace and just performing, doing the best we can and
then walking away.
122
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,083
It's like a fraternity or brotherhood of mutual respect.
123
00:08:52,083 --> 00:08:56,000
uh
124
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:04,416
organizes a lot of b-boy battles and like two versus two type battles and boy, if you
didn't know, you'd think that they're about to come to blows.
125
00:09:04,416 --> 00:09:06,041
But no, this is just how it is.
126
00:09:06,041 --> 00:09:07,458
It's just very intense.
127
00:09:07,458 --> 00:09:11,041
Goes right to the line and then they dap each other up afterwards.
128
00:09:11,583 --> 00:09:12,458
All right.
129
00:09:13,375 --> 00:09:16,041
And Jey Prime's come out with us on a few occasions.
130
00:09:16,041 --> 00:09:17,708
He also came out to Princeton with us.
131
00:09:17,708 --> 00:09:18,541
So.
132
00:09:19,041 --> 00:09:21,250
Part of the collective, for sure.
133
00:09:21,250 --> 00:09:22,875
Yep.
134
00:09:22,875 --> 00:09:23,958
backtracking a little bit.
135
00:09:23,958 --> 00:09:29,416
I've also been a fan of the New York City Breakers, but I remember them as the New York
City Breakers.
136
00:09:29,416 --> 00:09:33,916
and this kind of touched on how they actually got their beginning and which I found pretty interesting.
137
00:09:33,916 --> 00:09:35,416
They were actually the Floor Masters.
138
00:09:35,416 --> 00:09:36,583
I was like, Oh, okay.
139
00:09:36,583 --> 00:09:37,583
Cause I kept seeing a floor master.
140
00:09:37,583 --> 00:09:39,500
like, I never heard of the floor masters.
141
00:09:39,500 --> 00:09:41,708
I'm like, ah, they became the New York City Breakers.
142
00:09:41,708 --> 00:09:46,916
They gave them a nice polished up name and put them out in the limelight.
143
00:09:47,125 --> 00:09:49,291
Floor Master sounds like a carpet company to me.
144
00:09:49,291 --> 00:09:57,750
I think they, one of those things we get in the Val Pak coupons and it's like floor.
145
00:09:58,708 --> 00:09:59,583
Yes.
146
00:10:03,333 --> 00:10:05,000
Oh man.
147
00:10:05,166 --> 00:10:06,125
I like, the what?
148
00:10:06,125 --> 00:10:11,000
probably a better name, New York City Breakers, than Floor Masters.
149
00:10:11,166 --> 00:10:11,875
exactly.
150
00:10:11,875 --> 00:10:16,125
That's awesome.
151
00:10:16,333 --> 00:10:16,916
Yeah,
152
00:10:16,916 --> 00:10:17,958
the clip of...
153
00:10:18,166 --> 00:10:21,416
Did you see the clip of Grand Mixer DXT breakin?
154
00:10:21,958 --> 00:10:23,208
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
155
00:10:23,208 --> 00:10:25,416
like, shoot, so he got footwork.
156
00:10:26,375 --> 00:10:27,750
Multitalented.
157
00:10:28,625 --> 00:10:37,250
Like you said, last episode always comes back to folks that we, you we had encountered and we met, we met Grand mixer, DXT long and grand master Caz was in this as well.
158
00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:40,666
Yeah, the co- Oh yeah, the co- Yeah, the few of them with the Cold Crush brothers over in
it, yeah.
159
00:10:40,666 --> 00:10:44,500
couple of the other Cold Crush brothers also.
160
00:10:44,500 --> 00:10:45,500
We move on to the next.
161
00:10:45,500 --> 00:10:48,166
So South Bronx is the origin story.
162
00:10:48,166 --> 00:10:53,916
And then it picks up a lot of steam in the late 70s, maybe like 77, 78.
163
00:10:53,916 --> 00:11:01,083
But in the media craze, it hit a snag though in terms of disco's popularity.
164
00:11:01,083 --> 00:11:01,916
Right.
165
00:11:01,916 --> 00:11:02,666
Mm-hmm.
166
00:11:02,666 --> 00:11:05,791
like the comment where these guys were like, they're going all out and they're sweating.
167
00:11:05,791 --> 00:11:11,291
It's like, well, how are you going to pick up the ladies when you're just like all
breaking and disjointed and battling each other?
168
00:11:11,291 --> 00:11:26,250
And then you get these suave, you know, leisure suits or whatever, the afros and the bell bottoms and the disco where you can actually, you know, get close to the ladies.
169
00:11:26,250 --> 00:11:29,291
And then it's like, all right, nobody wants to see us breakdancing anymore.
170
00:11:29,291 --> 00:11:32,208
And that kind of really erased some of
171
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,583
the momentum that they had.
172
00:11:34,583 --> 00:11:43,750
um But then Hollywood picked up on it, know, breaking was kind of went underground, movies like Wild Style and Flashdance and.
173
00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:45,041
help bring it to the mainstream.
174
00:11:45,041 --> 00:11:57,291
Yeah, I think it was like little sparks here and there, know, and a club promoters would have the guys, some of the guys performing in the clubs and that would just, know, kept it
175
00:11:57,291 --> 00:11:58,791
at a, it was like simmering.
176
00:11:58,791 --> 00:12:04,875
It just kept it simmering long enough for Hollywood to pick up on it and mainstream media
to really pick up on it.
177
00:12:05,125 --> 00:12:09,458
When they started having public battles like that battle at Lincoln Center
178
00:12:09,458 --> 00:12:13,291
battles that they had Negril nightclub.
179
00:12:13,291 --> 00:12:18,500
And yeah, that kind of it simmering long enough for Hollywood to pick up on it.
180
00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:30,750
But a lot of guys, I saw they were mentioning that even with the West Coast guys, once
they saw that flash dance clip, they were like, oh, and that's when they all started kind
181
00:12:30,750 --> 00:12:32,541
of trying to pick it up on it.
182
00:12:32,541 --> 00:12:35,916
But the West Coast had their own flavor going on over there.
183
00:12:36,083 --> 00:12:44,333
You know, that was cool that they actually gave a shout out to the West and showed the
difference between West Coast B-boying and East Coast B-boying.
184
00:12:44,333 --> 00:12:51,375
I mean, granted now, with social media and everything being so accessible, there's like a
big merger between the two.
185
00:12:51,375 --> 00:12:55,375
So you see guys on the East Coast popping and locking.
186
00:12:55,375 --> 00:12:59,625
You see guys on the West Coast doing the footwork and
187
00:12:59,750 --> 00:13:03,375
know, aerial moves that, you know, that the East was done for now.
188
00:13:03,375 --> 00:13:06,750
Now they're actually, I mean, even internationally, it's crazy.
189
00:13:06,750 --> 00:13:11,333
But, but yeah, man, Hollywood picked up on it and ran with it.
190
00:13:13,125 --> 00:13:16,125
Yeah, Breakin Breakin 2: the wrath of Khan.
191
00:13:16,125 --> 00:13:17,625
I couldn't resist.
192
00:13:17,625 --> 00:13:21,916
Yeah, electric boogaloo for the fans who.
193
00:13:21,916 --> 00:13:30,333
who aren't familiar, we bust on Breakin 2 and we give it different sequel names, sometimes
the Secret of the Ooze or the Wrath of Khan.
194
00:13:30,333 --> 00:13:42,625
I didn't realize how impactful that scene in flash dance was featured the New York City Breakers and Crazy legs and Ken Swift and I think it was frosty freeze a few others and
195
00:13:42,625 --> 00:13:52,541
they showed when the premiere came out and the fans whoever was in that preview audience, you know, they went they went nuts over that scene and I thought the funny part was
196
00:13:52,541 --> 00:13:55,166
Jennifer Beals really didn't want to do anything.
197
00:13:55,166 --> 00:13:59,708
She wanted no part of these guys, like when they were doing some press photos or anything
like that.
198
00:13:59,708 --> 00:14:02,875
And then after she sees the reaction, she's like, yeah, let's have some photos.
199
00:14:02,875 --> 00:14:05,500
take some photos, you know?
200
00:14:06,125 --> 00:14:06,916
Yeah.
201
00:14:06,916 --> 00:14:10,916
She said dis us, now she wants to kiss us.
202
00:14:12,333 --> 00:14:13,500
sad in more ways than one.
203
00:14:13,500 --> 00:14:15,708
uh
204
00:14:15,708 --> 00:14:18,458
pop up a few years ago in the Mandalorian series on Disney+.
205
00:14:18,458 --> 00:14:20,958
Yeah, I was like, that's Jennifer Beals.
206
00:14:21,541 --> 00:14:22,416
Yeah, she did.
207
00:14:22,416 --> 00:14:23,708
Yeah, she aged well.
208
00:14:24,333 --> 00:14:28,708
But it's a good point you make about Flashdance being as influential as it was.
209
00:14:28,708 --> 00:14:31,750
Even I didn't realize that and I looked it up.
210
00:14:31,750 --> 00:14:32,916
I mapped this out.
211
00:14:32,916 --> 00:14:35,458
Flashdance comes out in April of 83.
212
00:14:35,458 --> 00:14:38,333
Wildstyle is not until November of 83.
213
00:14:38,333 --> 00:14:40,166
And then Beat Street wasn't out until the next year.
214
00:14:40,166 --> 00:14:43,250
So in the timeline, it actually is pretty early.
215
00:14:43,625 --> 00:14:45,291
Yeah, wow.
216
00:14:45,666 --> 00:14:49,250
Yeah, and it's crazy because I remember watching it.
217
00:14:49,250 --> 00:14:57,666
And I've seen that scene so many times and like just on social media clips and even the numerous times I've watched Flash Dance I really like Flash Dance I love Jennifer Beals.
218
00:14:57,666 --> 00:15:00,541
I watch the movie all the time just because of her.
219
00:15:00,708 --> 00:15:04,291
But that scene, I've seen that scene so many times.
220
00:15:04,291 --> 00:15:13,000
And I think it maybe like, I was telling you guys before we started recording, it was either like the end of last year or the beginning or early this year, I was watching it.
221
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,583
and all of a sudden the light bulb went off and I recognized them.
222
00:15:15,583 --> 00:15:19,000
Oh my God, that's them, that's them.
223
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,416
All these years I never realized it was them until like fairly recently.
224
00:15:22,416 --> 00:15:23,708
Props to the documentary.
225
00:15:23,708 --> 00:15:31,416
So another turning point for the mass popularity of breakin was the 1984 Summer Olympics.
226
00:15:31,416 --> 00:15:39,333
So that ties in, you're following the timeline you just mentioned Dyno Wright The world
sees breakin on one of the stages, international stage.
227
00:15:39,333 --> 00:15:45,791
I see that Ronald Reagan, the president at the time, was enjoying seeing these dancers and kind of laughing.
228
00:15:45,791 --> 00:15:47,875
And when you see the...
229
00:15:48,541 --> 00:15:50,083
You're a leader of the U S at that point.
230
00:15:50,083 --> 00:15:53,750
And you're like, there's something to this that has that staying power.
231
00:15:54,500 --> 00:15:55,708
but just to go back, love that.
232
00:15:55,708 --> 00:16:00,625
Like you said about the West coast, you know, popping strutting, locking.
233
00:16:00,625 --> 00:16:05,666
I have to quote a Fred Berry rerun, the late great Fred Berry.
234
00:16:05,666 --> 00:16:10,666
said, you know, popping was like, you know, locking plus the robot.
235
00:16:10,750 --> 00:16:13,208
You he kind of like broke it down into like a formula.
236
00:16:13,208 --> 00:16:14,375
like, oh my God.
237
00:16:14,375 --> 00:16:15,250
Yeah.
238
00:16:15,375 --> 00:16:16,208
That was great.
239
00:16:16,208 --> 00:16:20,458
That was great because you don't realize, yeah, a lot of nuance to that.
240
00:16:20,458 --> 00:16:21,791
That was great.
241
00:16:22,541 --> 00:16:25,291
and I had another, I had a mind blowing moment.
242
00:16:25,291 --> 00:16:28,250
The Radiotron was an actual club.
243
00:16:28,250 --> 00:16:32,750
The Radiotron was featured in Breakin and Breakin 2 and it was a real club.
244
00:16:32,750 --> 00:16:34,500
I did not know that.
245
00:16:35,083 --> 00:16:36,416
I thought it was just for the movie.
246
00:16:36,416 --> 00:16:37,416
Yeah.
247
00:16:38,625 --> 00:16:39,375
That's wild.
248
00:16:39,375 --> 00:16:39,791
Yeah.
249
00:16:39,791 --> 00:16:52,500
For me, that's not in this film, but when I became really aware of breakdancing was the 1984 Grammys, and this is the performance of Herbie Hancock, Rockit, and so the androids
250
00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:54,458
are the breakdancers.
251
00:16:54,583 --> 00:16:59,250
And I was, what, nine years old?
252
00:16:59,250 --> 00:17:01,583
I was like, whoa, what is that?
253
00:17:01,791 --> 00:17:03,375
What are they doing?
254
00:17:03,791 --> 00:17:04,958
So yeah.
255
00:17:04,958 --> 00:17:07,875
Quite formative at that time in your life.
256
00:17:07,875 --> 00:17:09,791
Oof, you see something like that.
257
00:17:09,791 --> 00:17:11,041
Blows your mind.
258
00:17:11,250 --> 00:17:15,916
I still bring up the Herbie Hancock video once in a while on YouTube with those legs going
back and forth.
259
00:17:15,916 --> 00:17:20,416
I remember showing my son that as a kid and it just blows your mind.
260
00:17:20,416 --> 00:17:22,708
It was so far ahead of its time.
261
00:17:22,708 --> 00:17:22,916
Yeah.
262
00:17:22,916 --> 00:17:24,458
Yeah.
263
00:17:24,458 --> 00:17:27,041
It was just so creative.
264
00:17:27,125 --> 00:17:31,291
yeah, that song, that video and that song was just like crazy.
265
00:17:32,083 --> 00:17:34,291
Yeah, for sure.
266
00:17:35,250 --> 00:17:42,250
But, as we said, there's the, you said simmering and there's fits and starts with breaking
and the government ends up coming down.
267
00:17:42,250 --> 00:17:45,875
is one of our takeaways about the system fighting back.
268
00:17:46,708 --> 00:17:51,833
Breaking got a little bit powerful in terms of large gatherings.
269
00:17:51,833 --> 00:17:58,333
And then as the government, U S government's prone to do things get a little bit loud and
270
00:17:58,333 --> 00:18:05,375
they started actively shutting down spaces where hip hop, you know, well, hip hop elements
and breaking lived, which.
271
00:18:05,375 --> 00:18:09,791
is thematic of a lot of things we see today as well.
272
00:18:09,791 --> 00:18:10,583
Yeah.
273
00:18:10,875 --> 00:18:13,125
Yeah, yeah currently
274
00:18:13,125 --> 00:18:19,583
Yeah, so there's conflicts, arrests, unrest, et cetera.
275
00:18:19,583 --> 00:18:23,583
And you see scenes with folks in riot gear in LA.
276
00:18:23,583 --> 00:18:27,041
So look what's going on today, protests and.
277
00:18:27,041 --> 00:18:34,166
Yeah, even back then, it's the form of expression here and the authorities didn't want to
see that.
278
00:18:34,166 --> 00:18:35,458
So they started shutting it down.
279
00:18:35,458 --> 00:18:39,791
And that really put a damper on the momentum again.
280
00:18:39,833 --> 00:18:48,208
But as hip hop culture is known to do, it survives and thrives and takes on new forms and elements.
281
00:18:49,083 --> 00:18:51,333
And it kind of just goes underground with the breaking.
282
00:18:51,916 --> 00:18:55,375
you know, then you have these other elements picking up the slack.
283
00:18:55,375 --> 00:18:57,375
Yep.
284
00:18:57,666 --> 00:19:06,416
so there was those scenes there where you have the cops, you know, arresting folks and everything, but then you have the break dancers getting out there and doing their thing.
285
00:19:06,541 --> 00:19:08,666
but, um, yeah,
286
00:19:08,666 --> 00:19:10,125
government crackdowns.
287
00:19:10,125 --> 00:19:17,583
The cops are standing full, you know, standing at attention in riot gear, the guys just egging them on.
288
00:19:19,041 --> 00:19:20,333
Yeah, exactly.
289
00:19:20,333 --> 00:19:23,041
It's almost like instead of a sit-in, it's like a spin-in.
290
00:19:25,583 --> 00:19:27,000
Spin-in.
291
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:27,958
that's cool.
292
00:19:29,375 --> 00:19:34,333
Another great element of this, and this is one of our other takeaways, it's like a cast of
thousands.
293
00:19:34,333 --> 00:19:38,083
There were so many hip hop legends, both dancers and rappers in this film.
294
00:19:38,083 --> 00:19:43,041
I was saying before we started here, some of my most favorite people were in this film.
295
00:19:43,333 --> 00:19:57,833
this documentary, know, Qtip, Phife, we love Tribe Called Quest, Rakim was in this, as I mentioned, Fred Berry rerun, KRS-ONE, Yasiin Bey I'm missing a few, but yeah, I'm sure MC
296
00:19:57,833 --> 00:19:58,666
Serch Redman.
297
00:19:58,666 --> 00:20:00,833
So many, so many.
298
00:20:00,958 --> 00:20:03,000
Yeah, yeah, exactly.
299
00:20:03,916 --> 00:20:11,416
And then the actual B-boy crews, like, there was so many of them, I couldn't even, I was trying to keep up with them, but they were just popping up, I'm like, oh my God.
300
00:20:11,708 --> 00:20:21,916
Like, you know, Rocksteady Crew, Zulu Kings, South Soul Crew, Crazy Commanders, New York City Breakers, Bronx Boys, you know, and that's just the few that I could pick up on.
301
00:20:21,916 --> 00:20:26,375
There was like, and then there were others from the West Coast that I was, they were popping up too quick, I couldn't even keep up.
302
00:20:26,375 --> 00:20:29,125
Oh, Electric Boogaloo, Pony Express.
303
00:20:29,125 --> 00:20:34,375
Shake City Rockers, Air Force crew, those are some of the West Coast crews that they
mentioned.
304
00:20:34,375 --> 00:20:37,041
This is chock full of authenticity.
305
00:20:37,208 --> 00:20:37,708
Mm-hmm.
306
00:20:37,708 --> 00:20:44,291
I think it gives a lot more credibility to have those hip hop legends in it from both
coasts.
307
00:20:44,291 --> 00:20:44,916
Yep.
308
00:20:44,916 --> 00:20:49,125
And as we hit upon the dance wasn't just for the sake of dance.
309
00:20:49,125 --> 00:21:02,083
It's a form of expression, entertainment, resistance, giving these kids that creative
outlet and power when there's a lot of oppression going on and that spirit helped propel
310
00:21:02,083 --> 00:21:04,916
hip hop to international heights.
311
00:21:05,250 --> 00:21:08,666
So that's the underdog story that hip hop
312
00:21:08,666 --> 00:21:13,291
is and breaking is a huge piece of that.
313
00:21:13,500 --> 00:21:14,125
Sure.
314
00:21:14,125 --> 00:21:15,500
Yeah, yeah.
315
00:21:15,500 --> 00:21:18,208
There were a couple of quotes that I caught in the beginning.
316
00:21:18,208 --> 00:21:25,916
couldn't, I didn't see who said it, but it said one was, B-Boying is the ultimate body
manifestation of hip hop.
317
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:29,166
And I was like, yeah, yeah.
318
00:21:29,166 --> 00:21:38,791
And then there was another one that said, it's not a trend, it's a legitimate art form,
which we see now because, I mean, just last year they put it into the Olympics.
319
00:21:38,791 --> 00:21:41,791
I mean, granted, it's not in the upcoming one, but.
320
00:21:41,791 --> 00:21:45,125
Who knows it might pop back up again in a revamped format.
321
00:21:45,125 --> 00:21:47,250
go, don't say Ray Gun.
322
00:21:48,916 --> 00:21:50,458
I had to go.
323
00:21:51,458 --> 00:21:52,458
the king of robot
324
00:21:52,458 --> 00:21:54,041
name before you were supposed to say!
325
00:21:54,041 --> 00:21:55,500
I'm just bustin.
326
00:21:56,208 --> 00:21:57,458
We needed it.
327
00:21:57,458 --> 00:22:00,416
Man.
328
00:22:01,041 --> 00:22:04,625
Put a stain on put a stain on breaking but.
329
00:22:04,875 --> 00:22:11,416
But mentioning that, the one thing that I would have liked to have seen more was the
B-Girl part of Breaking.
330
00:22:11,416 --> 00:22:12,666
There wasn't a lot of it in there.
331
00:22:12,666 --> 00:22:14,333
There were some, but not a lot.
332
00:22:14,333 --> 00:22:17,500
There's probably a whole documentaries worth of stuff just on that.
333
00:22:17,500 --> 00:22:21,416
it would be cool to do a part two of this.
334
00:22:21,416 --> 00:22:23,333
What's QD3 do up to these days?
335
00:22:23,333 --> 00:22:23,875
You
336
00:22:23,875 --> 00:22:27,125
You like the competition aspect is tremendous.
337
00:22:27,125 --> 00:22:39,625
You know, the battling and parallel with the rap battles we've seen and then, you know,
films like Eight Mile and Bodied and, you know, and we saw You Got Served and that type of
338
00:22:39,625 --> 00:22:43,916
competition is, you know, we're a society that loves competition.
339
00:22:43,916 --> 00:22:45,208
That's why we love sports so much.
340
00:22:45,208 --> 00:22:49,250
to have that crew and rallying cry and that's what they probably
341
00:22:49,333 --> 00:22:56,500
fuels Jey Prime and his crew is who's going to win this thing, know, we're in this
together and they got that sense of pride.
342
00:22:56,916 --> 00:23:00,083
It's great to see.
343
00:23:00,500 --> 00:23:01,375
Yeah.
344
00:23:01,583 --> 00:23:08,625
It's funny, I was just looking at my notes and there was one quote that I got, one part
that I, the crazy legs was talking.
345
00:23:08,750 --> 00:23:15,208
He said in the beginning when they first were going out and they were traveling to battle crews he compared it to martial arts films.
346
00:23:15,208 --> 00:23:19,291
He's like, I heard your style was good, but mine is better.
347
00:23:19,291 --> 00:23:22,083
And I started cracking up because I'm like, oh my God.
348
00:23:22,083 --> 00:23:23,833
I love that, yeah.
349
00:23:24,166 --> 00:23:27,125
But, yeah, it's great one.
350
00:23:27,375 --> 00:23:33,000
But I'm glad you brought that up, because speaking of Kung Fu, talks about the Kung Fu
influence on breakin.
351
00:23:33,083 --> 00:23:36,458
then we talk, know, Dyno Wright was just at the Wu-Tang concert.
352
00:23:36,458 --> 00:23:44,375
We talked on, you know, the documentary of Mics and Men, how they're a huge influence from
Kung Fu and Shaolin.
353
00:23:45,125 --> 00:23:48,000
But there's also the gymnastics element as well.
354
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:51,958
You know, some of these guys, with the way they're moving their arms and flipping around,
like that's...
355
00:23:51,958 --> 00:23:55,458
That's what you see on like a pommel horse or some floor routines.
356
00:23:55,458 --> 00:23:57,500
And like they're so muscular and so talented.
357
00:23:57,500 --> 00:24:03,250
mean, like you said, physical manifestation of hip hop and martial arts.
358
00:24:03,250 --> 00:24:05,333
And the funny, quote was great too.
359
00:24:05,333 --> 00:24:07,541
I almost wanted to be where the subtitles don't match.
360
00:24:07,541 --> 00:24:08,708
Your style is good.
361
00:24:11,666 --> 00:24:15,833
Yeah, yeah, it was a good acknowledgement that hip-hop didn't come from nowhere.
362
00:24:15,833 --> 00:24:29,333
I mean, it did come from gymnastics and kung fu movies and capoeira and Lindy hops and
they have great footage of Sammy Davis just Going crazy on the floor.
363
00:24:29,333 --> 00:24:33,250
I like whoa That's how it was
364
00:24:33,250 --> 00:24:33,583
Yep.
365
00:24:33,583 --> 00:24:42,041
For real, Sammy Davis for real was an OG B-boy if you think about it and you see him
breaking and some those earlier guys.
366
00:24:42,666 --> 00:24:47,916
And the Nicholas Brothers, too, the Nicholas Brothers are phenomenal dancers.
367
00:24:48,291 --> 00:24:49,291
It's like, wow.
368
00:24:49,291 --> 00:24:51,041
Yeah, so there's a whole lineage still.
369
00:24:51,041 --> 00:25:04,625
I mean, we'll get into rating, but this is a must see if you are into breakin and b-boy
culture and how did it get from its origins to now?
370
00:25:04,625 --> 00:25:19,125
And like I said, we say it originated in the Bronx, but as you see actors, know, there's roots way before that, but when it become more of a cultural phenomenon, that's where you.
371
00:25:19,541 --> 00:25:21,041
You see it there in the Bronx for sure.
372
00:25:21,041 --> 00:25:25,583
This was a must see.
373
00:25:26,458 --> 00:25:32,833
The archival footage was phenomenal and just the commentary and it was so cohesive.
374
00:25:32,833 --> 00:25:38,458
can clearly follow it along as it was explaining how everything tied together.
375
00:25:38,458 --> 00:25:43,916
I know probably made you want to get up and relive your breaking days, right?
376
00:25:44,875 --> 00:25:47,541
Man, I remember I used to have the box in front of the house.
377
00:25:47,541 --> 00:25:53,708
Anytime my parents bought a major appliance or some furniture, that box was in front of
the house with the radio.
378
00:25:53,875 --> 00:25:54,416
Yes.
379
00:25:54,416 --> 00:25:58,916
I mean, I never really took off with it, but I tried.
380
00:25:59,791 --> 00:26:02,083
Gangsta rap came through and shut it down.
381
00:26:02,083 --> 00:26:02,958
So nobody in the hood.
382
00:26:02,958 --> 00:26:04,375
Everybody stopped dancing.
383
00:26:04,375 --> 00:26:05,791
It's like, oh man.
384
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,958
And I remember I got older and I was like, wait a minute.
385
00:26:10,708 --> 00:26:12,333
It never went away.
386
00:26:13,041 --> 00:26:15,375
Why did they tell us that it was corny?
387
00:26:15,458 --> 00:26:17,666
And then meanwhile, they were doing it all over the world.
388
00:26:17,666 --> 00:26:18,625
I had no idea.
389
00:26:18,625 --> 00:26:22,000
And then all of sudden, my eyes opened up and I started seeing all these clips.
390
00:26:22,125 --> 00:26:25,083
And I'm like, oh man, I never should have stopped.
391
00:26:25,125 --> 00:26:30,166
Yeah, when it's a Red Bull BC One season, like, the social media feed blows up.
392
00:26:30,166 --> 00:26:31,208
It's great.
393
00:26:31,250 --> 00:26:32,666
my God, yes.
394
00:26:33,083 --> 00:26:38,625
And then all of the movies that popped out, like even the cheesiest ones have great
dancers in them.
395
00:26:38,625 --> 00:26:42,541
Like the acting is horrible, but they can dance like nothing.
396
00:26:44,083 --> 00:26:46,208
It's like, man, who knows?
397
00:26:46,208 --> 00:26:48,500
I could have popped up at one of those movies or something.
398
00:26:48,500 --> 00:26:49,083
Thank
399
00:26:49,083 --> 00:26:53,583
I think most of Gen X has tried it in some form or fashion.
400
00:26:53,583 --> 00:27:04,708
Not as bold, even if it's just in your home or in the shower or bathroom, you're trying to
do even some basic pop and lock or get on the floor and try to do a basic spin.
401
00:27:04,708 --> 00:27:09,458
I had one pair of black parachute pants with crazy amount of zippers.
402
00:27:10,416 --> 00:27:10,916
Yes.
403
00:27:10,916 --> 00:27:12,083
just felt good and it was slick.
404
00:27:12,083 --> 00:27:17,041
You know, I could have felt like I could do a couple of things, but I was never bold enough to embarrass myself like that.
405
00:27:17,041 --> 00:27:17,750
I didn't have them.
406
00:27:17,750 --> 00:27:18,875
I don't have much rhythm.
407
00:27:18,875 --> 00:27:24,541
So I, I admit it and know my limitations, but it was fun.
408
00:27:24,541 --> 00:27:26,416
It was just so much fun.
409
00:27:26,833 --> 00:27:34,458
That's funny, they kind of brought me back to that little Paulie Shore anecdote he was
talking about.
410
00:27:35,083 --> 00:27:43,541
All of the Samoans were at his house trying to teach him how to break his Mom's like What
is everybody doing over here?
411
00:27:43,541 --> 00:27:45,916
They're teaching me how to break dance.
412
00:27:45,916 --> 00:27:47,375
Yeah, the Paulie Shore stuff was funny.
413
00:27:47,375 --> 00:27:50,833
He had some ridiculous raunchy quotes as well.
414
00:27:52,500 --> 00:27:55,750
Yeah, you gotta go watch and see that.
415
00:27:56,291 --> 00:27:56,875
Yeah.
416
00:27:56,875 --> 00:28:01,500
Boogie, did you have the Alfonso Ribiero breakdance thing?
417
00:28:02,208 --> 00:28:03,166
No.
418
00:28:03,375 --> 00:28:04,125
No.
419
00:28:04,750 --> 00:28:05,666
No.
420
00:28:05,791 --> 00:28:07,333
I remember it though.
421
00:28:07,333 --> 00:28:09,916
I totally remember it.
422
00:28:10,458 --> 00:28:11,541
Nah, I I was like nah.
423
00:28:11,541 --> 00:28:13,625
be a whole documentary about that.
424
00:28:13,958 --> 00:28:17,875
I need the oral history of that particular VHS tape.
425
00:28:18,583 --> 00:28:28,583
Seriously, seriously, you went from a tap dance kid to doing b-boy breaking videos to
dancing with the stars.
426
00:28:28,583 --> 00:28:33,291
the stars to the fresh prince of Bel Air, the dancing with the stars.
427
00:28:33,291 --> 00:28:35,166
was like, how the heck did he get on Dance with the Stars?
428
00:28:35,166 --> 00:28:37,000
He could actually dance already!
429
00:28:37,416 --> 00:28:38,625
He's no joke, man.
430
00:28:38,625 --> 00:28:39,875
He's got the moves.
431
00:28:39,875 --> 00:28:42,750
Carlton doesn't just have the Tom Jones moves.
432
00:28:42,750 --> 00:28:44,833
He's got the B-boy moves.
433
00:28:44,833 --> 00:28:49,375
uh Legendary.
434
00:28:49,375 --> 00:28:50,583
Legendary.
435
00:28:50,583 --> 00:28:55,625
You know, it's funny that you think about that the VHS I'm thinking to the movie Napoleon
Dynamite.
436
00:28:55,625 --> 00:29:01,875
I don't know if you guys have seen that when he goes to that discount store, he gets dance
moves by Darren or something like that.
437
00:29:01,875 --> 00:29:09,291
And he studies the moves and all the talent show and he's, he's doing like these crazy,
you know, it's kind of like, it's a form of break dancing, but then he goes a little
438
00:29:09,291 --> 00:29:12,791
crazy, but he steals the show.
439
00:29:12,791 --> 00:29:13,750
Yeah, exactly.
440
00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:15,708
I'm like, all right.
441
00:29:15,708 --> 00:29:17,291
Go Napoleon.
442
00:29:17,291 --> 00:29:20,583
That reminds me of those viral clips of the lady.
443
00:29:20,583 --> 00:29:21,750
This is hip hop!
444
00:29:21,750 --> 00:29:22,208
Yes!
445
00:29:22,208 --> 00:29:23,291
Those are so great.
446
00:29:23,291 --> 00:29:23,750
hip hop.
447
00:29:23,750 --> 00:29:24,416
This is hip hop.
448
00:29:24,416 --> 00:29:25,375
You gotta relax with it.
449
00:29:25,375 --> 00:29:26,416
gotta relax with it.
450
00:29:26,416 --> 00:29:27,083
Relax.
451
00:29:27,083 --> 00:29:27,833
And slouch.
452
00:29:27,833 --> 00:29:28,708
It relax.
453
00:29:28,708 --> 00:29:29,791
And slouch.
454
00:29:30,041 --> 00:29:31,458
And she updated them too!
455
00:29:31,458 --> 00:29:33,791
She re-did them, they're so good!
456
00:29:33,791 --> 00:29:35,041
tremendous.
457
00:29:35,583 --> 00:29:39,458
Yeah, that's always a good time when they come back and...
458
00:29:39,458 --> 00:29:41,416
spandex suit or whatever.
459
00:29:41,416 --> 00:29:42,291
Yeah.
460
00:29:42,833 --> 00:29:44,833
Yeah, it's everywhere.
461
00:29:49,250 --> 00:29:50,166
Yeah, for sure.
462
00:29:50,166 --> 00:29:50,916
Nice.
463
00:29:50,916 --> 00:29:54,000
You guys want to go around and rate the freshest kids?
464
00:29:54,208 --> 00:29:54,916
Let's do this.
465
00:29:54,916 --> 00:30:00,666
So Boogie, I think we know the answer, but for freshest kids, bring that funky flick back
466
00:30:02,750 --> 00:30:04,250
or leave it in the vault.
467
00:30:04,750 --> 00:30:07,458
Bring that funky flip back again and again.
468
00:30:07,458 --> 00:30:08,416
Hehehe.
469
00:30:08,916 --> 00:30:10,833
Dyno Wright Freshest kids.
470
00:30:10,833 --> 00:30:13,250
Bring that funky flick back or leave it in the vault.
471
00:30:13,666 --> 00:30:15,375
I am bringing this funky flick back.
472
00:30:15,375 --> 00:30:20,208
This is one of the best and most comprehensive films about b-boying.
473
00:30:20,875 --> 00:30:22,375
Yeah, I'm aligned.
474
00:30:22,375 --> 00:30:24,750
Bring that funky flick back and keep it front and center.
475
00:30:24,750 --> 00:30:27,750
This, think, needs more airplay, actually.
476
00:30:27,750 --> 00:30:30,375
It's not one.
477
00:30:30,375 --> 00:30:30,916
Yeah.
478
00:30:30,916 --> 00:30:31,333
of it.
479
00:30:31,333 --> 00:30:33,375
