bro, im old school. from new york to LA. we be known as some of the top breakers/poppers and inventors of the game. and I gotta say this, SALAH is the single most dominating individual I have EVER seen. his creativity. the depth of his moves. i mean this dude got moves that can fill 5 dictionary size binders. thats how we do it, we log it down, record it and practice moves that weve written down to practice, but this dudes got the whole book. also his moves compliment the music.
Songs: 0:00 - "I Like What You're Doing to Me" by Young and Company 5:25 - "One Nation Under a Groove" by Funkadelic (some kind of remix or live version) 7:08 - "Still in the Groove" by Ray Parker, Jr. & Raydio 9:26 - "It's All the Way Live" by Lakeside
i’ve been watching this video every now and then since i was grade 10 in highschool. 15 years ago was the first time and i just came across it again. sooo good.
this was during my fav time of salah, dude was really on during this era. he's still great .. i think he knows about every song every created and respects it. the few times you are able to tell that he doesnt know the music , his musicality still just serves. Popula is a beast too, his boy Demenita is nice aswell. great dancers.
Salah is salah. Loved him in this era as well. Just raw, expressive, explosive. Phenomenal dancer with tons of personality. But give credit to Popula & Sally Sly. Two of my other favorite poppers. They hit it hard and are smooth as hell.
Kite is raw as hell. He has his own style of boog that doesn't rely on tricks and crowd pleasers. It's straight up boog. Salah and the lot are good but I agree, people give way to omuch credit to them when it comes to skill. They're good as fuck, but not the best. You really can't say "He/She" is the best, they're all just straight up raw poppers. (Back in this vid you can still see some of Damon Frosts style in Salah's popping lol)
the first one is young and company i like what you're doing to me. right when they start the track, it's funkadelic - one nation under a groove. and then i think he switches to ray parker jr.
it's a dance form that belongs to 4 stand-up dance styles, also called funk styles. This one is called poppin'. Within poppin the are a lot of sub-styles like; scare crow, tuttin' or egyptian, and ofcourse the overall better known waving and robotic styles. Other funk styles are lockin', housedance and newstyle
ya thats true.....ever since i started poppin iv always wanted to see a vid of salah and mr wiggles goin at it that would be sick or bionic man vs bruce ykanji would be dope 2
@aarcat78 this is the song but is it a remix? because i can't found exactly the same song. there is a solo in 5:58 than i can't found and this is the best part! thanks!
as a dancer there are much more talented ones in this world for sure...but in poppin battles, espacially in improvisation he is unbeatable...all in all the best poppin entertainer EVER...there could be good ones in america or elsewhere...but no one has des CLASS of salah...and i´ve seen a lot...
at 6 minutes in one nation under a groove by funkadelic is the song playing but the guitar solo is different does anyone know what version that is? i cant find it anywhere, help please?
This is before Popula found his style, but to say he CANT dance is just stupid! Dancing means more than tricks, but it just so happens that's Salah's dance style is flash. Tough break for P. Dope Battle.
@0BeNo Because, this is true popping / locking attire, that's how they dressed back then when this stuff was first on the seen. Bagoloo brothers the originators of some or most of all this, wore the suits o those times. That was considered sharp back then, contrast to the leisure suits, that's stiffs would wear.
Salah makes really really good dancers look like goonz. The dude in the banana 🍌 outfit wasn't bad but he looked like a bumm on the stage with salah. Ouch!!
oh yeah, for you, it's a lil segment of funkadelic, one nation under a groove. i left the comment for triluve, but i don't know if you'll get a response.
The sequence fom 5:30 to 6:30 especially 5:50 to 6:10 is just uncalled for from Salah, ridiculous, freaking ridiculous!!!!!!!! And popula i no slouch, he is one of the few, I'e seen hang with Salah in popping, although, Yoshida as fine as she is, ate Salah up in a locking battle, look it up on youtube But big up to Popula fr hanging, wth one of the best routines I've seen from Salah, I agree 5 minute market is legendary stuff there.
@igrewold I agree! But what if Salah beats him in a game of 1 on 1? Ha! For real, Salah is just so crisp with his body control. Not too many can see this man on the dance floor! The 5 minute mark is one of the best routines I've ever seen, and I'm 42. I was there for the birth of Hip Hop, Salah is doing the culture right! Hip Hop = Peace, unity, love, and having fun! It's ok to smile and have fun, we don't need all the beefs, guns, drugs, and hoes in music. He takes me to days of wayback!
The battle with Gucchon was close and a nice battle close to both battles, and then Bruce you could tell salah wasnt doing his thing and all and usually has fun with it. But hey no one is perfect and every one has at least lost some time.
1. Young and Company - I Like the Way you Make me Feel. 2. Funkadelic - One Nation under a Groove. 3. Ray Parker Jr. - Still In The Groove. 4. Lakeside - All the Way Live.
@cannonballcollins man you thought the ground than the music one nation under a groove by funkadelic this until the video salah vs population ????????????
I jus want that fresh suit popula has on lol! jk but yeah of course! One of my other favorite combos was salah and popping john. They danced together b4 but I can't remember where...
