There's modern bboy now out on youtube and social media and it's all good. But I bet the OGs would sell their shit to fly in and see this live. This is golden.
As much as I love Crumbs, K-mel just has that East Coast B-Boy swagger that shows in his uprock to his downrock, and I just gotta give him respect for that.
i honestly would say that style elements should've won this one..i think vengence wasn't hard enough to keep up with remind but kmel and crumbs were pretty much even..but i think crumbs moves were a lil more creative
The DJ sure dates this battle (if the VHS doesn't). If you tried to start a bboy battle with that song today, you'd might get some laughs, but I doubt anyone would run to the floor. The bboys were dope though. Crumbs and Kmel have really evolved since then, and still rock hard. I'd love to see this rematch today.
Style Elements got robbed hardcore. One of the greatests crews in the world just about twice as old as Boogie Brats. SEC or Rock Force go down to be the greatest championship crew of all-time. RSC are just the Yankees of the game. This stuff goes pretty N2Deep. You new school guys better look into it. But don't say some random internet blogger didnt tell you guys the truth, and you newer guys gotta stop naming yourself Spidey. BBoy Spidey was the Jordan of the Game before he got shot.
sick! CRUMBS his airflare stop hollow...NASTY. His gainer to front suicide I've seen before. Miracles does that. Crazy...everything is just a recycle of older moves.
Wow at 3:20,, i could c where hong 10 got some of his moves. I see alot of abtract style dude's doing some of vengence stuff, also cavemans trick power u see alot of bboyz doing now. If it werent for these guyz, the styles and tricks u see korea and france doing today, wouldnt be here.
Im just saying I have more appreciation boogie brats bboying, nice footwork, style is dope. Im also saying crumb's moustache looks terrible. thats it and thats all. I am aware moustaches cause no affect your footwork.
WHATTTTTTTT !!!!????? Sonny boy, his name is Megus. Google it. He's a fucking legend. If Toronto read that sentence you'd probably never make it home in one piece.
Vengeance really doesn't do it for me :/ dunno what it is but for me Crumbs and K-Mel killed it, Remind was pretty sick but like Vengeance i dunno i just dont think he killed it, Vengeance choked in his second round which is a little disappointing but a good battle none the less :)
Yo,Bboy Crumbz really did his thang,all tyt but dunno wat wuz up wit Remind...kinda let im down bt tha Bratz were both on point...thats why I think they got this 1
Physicx and Hong 10 might take it against Remind and Crumbs, as they danced in this clip, but that would be a clooooose battle. Crumbs power is a fair match for physicx, and he's got a bit more style to my eyes, and remind definitely stacks with Hong10 on style... dammit, I wanna see that battle!
@FCAopium well said. SEC was tight but BBs were total package. Vengeance alone won footwork/uprocks and anytime SEC did something dope Kmel did something doper.
@CommonGroundArts Yeah, you're totally right, I was talking more about an electrofunk song getting played in a bboy battle, and I've got nothing against the music (it's some classic stuff), but it's just better suited to a popping battle. I don't think any experienced DJs now would play that for bboys.
Man, watching this makes me appreciate how much b-boying has evolved in the recent years. Also, ReMind is kinda short. Like, I think most b-boys are under 6'. I met him in Spokane a whiiiile ago. He's a great dancer and a real inspiration.
I agree, Stylelements should have easily won. You could argue that K-mel matched Crumbs (keeping in mind every move K-mel does is harder for him than Crumbs cos he's like a foot taller; I think though that in this particular battle Crumbs outdid Kmel) but without doubt Remind smoked Vengeance! What were the judges thinking??
You couldnt be more wrong. James brown said smashed potatoe, alligator in the same line once. Also its a mans world was said very coherently if i may add. NEVER DOWNPLAY THE GODFATHER OF SOUL FUNK!!!
Mind you, the person you are rreferrin to as "whack" helped originate and spread the style of threading. Show some respect to someone that put in work. Unless you got some moves and can throw down better than Megus keep your comments to yaself. This aint a spectator sport. Its a fuckin artform. If u TRULY appreciate this dance and its culture, learn some respect.
