Speaker:

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?

13

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
