This is long overdue. I know for a fact that there are a few BBoys on the forum. And with all this recent talk about Kaba Modern and how "amazing" they are(n't), I decided to make a thread, paying homage to those who battle or just do it for a fun.

One of the most well known crews in the history of breakin' is the Rock Steady Crew. http://youtube.com/watch?v=jzbEntSOLjs



Old school, right? Those Nike Vandals are on point, though.

Throughout the years, breakin' has gone international. Just check out how Korea gets down. The Gambler Crew http://youtube.com/watch?v=SpCaLvkaoe8



Or, my personal favorite, Mortal Combat from Japan... http://youtube.com/watch?v=gQbc7gL-d5Q&feature=related



Don't worry fellow poplockers, wavers and goodlockers; I didn't leave us out...

Pop'N'Taco (antagonist in Breakin', former choreographer for Michael Jackson and N'Sync!)

I appreciate the culture, and life of the above mentioned.

*smh at the lack of recognition.

Thanks, J, for posting.

nyc breakers ftw.

i've been a fan of ken swift & rock steady since high school. also full circle, and i had the pleasure of being in the presence of rockafella while she was teaching a beginner's class. haven't really been keeping track of any of them or their performances ever since college though.

as for korean poppers, i find them very fluid. my fav would have to be nam hyun joon, but that's only 'cause he's the only one i bothered to look up and watch. i like his mall walk.

& about kaba modern, i been watching their shit for a while now 'cause a friend of a friend was a major fan. yah i understand they're not that great, but compared to the rest of the groups on the show, i think they're the best technical dancers (but that is also arguable, since the 6 that are on the show are pretty much only good at isos). even so, they're my fav. on the show.

Oooh, good topic Brandon! Those videos are awesome.

Kaba Modern are good, but not absolutely amazing, but they are good.

yay

I made it a point to include Korean BBoys in this thread.

darkness is sicknasty, crazy ass power moves.
