The funny thing is Dot-A-Rock and Whipper Whip were 2 of the original members of the Cold Crush. They left the group to join the Mighty Gestapo Crew, then ended up joining the Fantastic 5 MC's! Grandmaster Caz and JDL was a rap duo called the Notorious 2 then joined the Cold Crush to fill the vacancy.
I live on 183rd and the concourse they filmed that in the park behind my building on 183rd and ryer that's how it use to look back then. now it's different I love this movie.
@@percyvolnar8010 you’re willing out. If you’re smart you’ll RU-vid breaking in the 70’s and 80’s or graffiti 70’s and 80’s or hip hop documentaries 70’s and 80’s.. or RU-vid NYC gangs 1970’s… you do realize hip hop spun off of NYC gang culture right… so RU-vid that and you’ll find tons of videos and documentaries made in the 70’s and 80’s and there my friend you’ll see….
I think Whipper Whip is very happy as a married nurse outside of NYC. I saw a GMC interview a few years back and he looked pretty healthy. But you’re right, so many greats are gone, but their Legacy lives on.
DJ Charlie Chase, Rudy Dee, and Prince Whipper Whip are perfect examples that Latinos have been in the emceein' / deejayin' games of Hip-Hop's 4 Elements since day one. And let's not get started on Latinos being active in the OG Graf and B-Boyin' games too.

@@verdadduele7925 Yes, the black men who had been rapping and breakdamcing for AT LEAST 30 years prior, were kind enough to show Puerto Ricans what they were already doing, since NONE of it was present in Puerto Rican culture. "They lived in the same neighborhood" just means Puerto Ricans were the first to copy what they saw, just like Elvis did🤣
@@verdadduele7925 They dont count to Puerto Ricans because they demonstrate the organic evolution of hip hop from the Black American community🤣 To Black Americans, who created hip hop before Puerto Ricans could speak English, it is simply the truth😆
I was a teenager when this movie came out and to this day I still haven't seen it I had to go to church with my grandparents the day my crew when to see it 🤷🏿♂️
I would love to hear some hip hop stories from this era. I came up looking up to rappers around Nas, Gang Starr, Black Moon era, so about 91-93 is when I first discovered hip hop in BK. By this time though, hip hop already changed alot. When I started to be part of the culture with DJing and making beats etc. It was already like 96+ and hip hop changed DRAMATICALLY at this point. I think 1996 was the last tome I felt hip hop stayed truly close to its roots. It exploded in popularity after that.
98/99 had Big Pun Capital punishment and DMX first two albums. After that it wasn't the same for me - for me those were classics ,but it was the last of that raw 90s that I remembered.
@@dynodin81 But I also remember the late 90s and 2000s was a renaissance for underground and independent scenes! Rawkus comes to mind with numerous amazing artists. It was when I was also the most active with hip hop events both local and even on college campuses. The culture was pretty alive underground. I am not sure how it is now days though, haven't checked. The music aspect is still alive and kicking in the underground though.
