Historical Fly Shit. RIP to all them brothers that aren't here anymore.

I'm 52 now, from Philly, but spent some time with family up in NY in those days when I was a kid. That was back when no one cared what your skin color or politics was. You hung out with who you hung out with and that was it. I miss those days. Good times man.

That amount of subtle details that reflect flavor and personality is something that i hardly see nowadays.

I Miss them all , I remember all the good old times dancing in the clubs / house parties . Much Love / Respect to all and the ones whom are no longer with us ....Hugs

That club footage with the Graffiti and Bronx pieces was right off of Bedford Park Blvd on Jerome avenue (Across from the D yard) It was painted by Mitch 77, Crash, Noc167, Disco etc. It did not last long as a club and afaik the interior graffiti has not shown up anywhere expect this video (assuming this footage at the end is in that same club) Pretty awesome to see as I remember right when they finished painting it. Good times in the BX, Oh and Mr Freeze went to JHS 80 on Moshulu also Tiny Freeze and Baby Freeze.

The good old days. I'm sure i was around there somewhere. Like a year after this footage, Everyone got SO MUCH better at Breaking.

Met three of these guys in Paris 1983, great memories

Che tempi cazz che grande emozione

Merci pour le partage

So dope!!! Thanks for posting. ❤❤❤

I've still got this on VHS. There were three tapes in the series, and I had two of them. I almost bought the third one on ebay, years ago, but I fell asleep and missed the end of the auction.

I wish there was more footage of Lenny out there, he was the nicest in RSC by far

This footage should be in a hall of fame for hip-hop. So people can see that Latino's ARE PART OF hip-hop.❤

I WAS THE FIRST ONE TO BREAK IT DOWN AND WRITE ON KZfaqS COMMENT SECTIONS THAT PUERTO RICANS STARTED THE HIPHOP CULTURE. THE HIPHOP CULTURE IS NOT RAP MUSIC. MOST PUERTO RICANS DID NOT RAP. HIPHOP AND RAP ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS

Just think, there were no cellphones or internet.

The old culture vulures

Original

I never saw this in 1981 but a couple years later by chance I saw this PBS documentary on Channel 9 I had caught in the middle of later called Style Wars that mesmerized me but was still too foreign to understand because none of that was happening in California in the 1970s and early 1980s. One of the Rock Steady Crew members comments on about how the usual portrayal by the news and entertainment with regards to and let's be real about it these Democrat run cities and in this specific instance how the portrayal of such places as the Bronx and you can see it especially from movie industries as Hollywood or even Blackploitation flicks, you see only the criminal and seedy aspects but nothing else ever. That's why a culture that literally originated from NYC ghetto American children will never ever be something that can come from and be validated from universities and colleges nor from foreigner nationalities. The culture originated in NYC, USA in the Bronx and the other boroughs/districts. I will never respect movies like Breakin' and those cheap ass cash in that swooped in and produced hollow callous and insulting funky bullshit.

8:18 THAT IS NOT HIPHOP. THATS RAP MUSIC. THATS NOT EVEN THE HIPHOP CULTURE. IT WAS ALL UNDER THE ...."NEWYORK INNER CITY YOUTH UMBRELLA" ONCE WHITE PEOPLE TRIED TO FUSE THE TWO
