truly a pioneer. he's like, "the original stylehead" with all those intricate tops and footwork. he contributed to alot of people yet they don't even know it.
the very first breakin video tape I received when I was 15 was the Ken Swift: Epitome tape Such an incredible video and definetely my earliest influences. I still go back to watch this tape and see things I never could even begin to understand when I first saw the video Just incredible
I like the whole feel of this video, it almost takes you back to NYC in the 70's when all these crazy boricuas were breaking...he is got so much flava....that's all that salsa-merengue music that has influenced his uprocking....
Im a 10th generation bboy and im thankful that ken swift,crazy legs,frosty freeze(R.I.P),JoJo,jimmy dee,all the original rock steadycrew,original new york city breakers,the nigga twinz,spy and the zulu kingz set breaking for us. Much respect to the old skool bboys and bgirls from the new skool!!!
true that... anyone who practices can do windmill to headspins etc.... get in a true bboy battle with swift he'll pull out hundreds of original moves... RSC for life. hands down. swift was def my inspiration for breaking.
Agreed! But when it comes to Rocking/Bboyish Style... Kenny is the Man/King! Yo, Kenny, Rock it Bro, hit that beat, and let it flow.... A Dancers, Dancer! If you ain't beat hitting, you should just be sitting!
the music that's playing is dj QBert cutting up 'Blow your head' by the JB's on the Invisibl Skratch Piklz 'turntable dragons' mixtape (1994) peace to king ken
So fresh ths is what b-boyin is all about.Keep it so fresh & your moves tight and sorry 2 say but some a yall forgot how 2 dress...not mr swift tho...PROPAZ!
watching this makes me realize how much of my style is influenced by him...this was one of tha first videos i was watching when i first started breakin...now i kno tha reason y i spin so much when i toprock...i cant help it
dope dope dope inspiration... true school this is what bboying is and it isn't nessecary to compare him with anybody because this is all about ART not about competitions peace
Actually, Mighty Zulu Kings is basically just the resurrection/new gen of Zulu Kings, it's still under the same head Afrika Bambaata who put Ness in charge of recruiting this generation. And Zulu Kings were before RSC and those other crews you named, because they were
man, the point of ken`s breakin is NO REPEATS!! this style is amazing, i don`t like his toprocks, but footwork is SICKKKKK!!!! keep it up man, real b-boys for eva
To all those youngsters that think their better than Ken Swift you need to recognize. The RSC and this man were a part of the birth of Hip Hop and Bboying. The things you do and see today are a direct result of what this man and the rest of RSC, NYC Breakers, Afrika Bambatta and the Zulu Nation and countless other forefathers of Hip Hop created. Show some respect and be thankful for what these guys created. Otherwise you're just a punkass poser.
