I've met Thesis twice... And both times he was cool with helping me on moves I couldn't land solidly.... He's a rad dude even when the cameras aren't on him.

[@Yungcomics]

"Do your thing, Stop biting." WISELY SAID . My favorite bboy man. SUPPORT ALL THE WAY.

[@2ill1313]

THE THINGS THAT ( I ALREADY KNEW ) I HAVE IN SIMILARITY WITH THIS GUY ARE THE MOTIVATIONS THAT HAVE COME WITH CLOTHING, OTHER BBOYS, WOMEN, AND WORLD MUSIC. UNLIKE THESIS I PICKED UP ON THE CONCEPT ( BREAKING ) IN 98 AS WELL AND GREW UP ON THE VHS ERA AND LEARNING FROM WATCHING ( SELF TAUGHT ) TAPES. THIS IS THE GENERATION THAT I HAVE MUCH MORE RESPECT FOR. WHICH IS PRE KZbin AND WHICH IS IN PART WHY PPL ARE LESS INNOVATIVE/CREATIVE LIKE HE POINTED.

[@CASEYROXAS]

My God...Such wise words...thx so much for posting the interview!!!!

[@ALEXTESKI]

So much soul, this guy is just pure rawness, point that i liked the most here was dont rush yourself.. let yourself develop naturally....

[@Rupert_Common]

[@petertran7488]

[@srisouthall]

Dope Bboy and Knowledge!

[@bboyfunkievue5990]

omfgos thesis your whole speech mab it was dope

[@Vanglal]

Maybe Hip-Hop hasn't done anything for you, because you haven't done anything for it? Hip-Hop is what the culture is called, today we live a world, that what wasn't before, as b-boys we acknowledge and accept that the old "hip-hop" is still here. Respect from Canada.

[@ForBboy]

well..proud of him that he is actually mature than what his age might think... many people maybe will think that bboying, dj , graffiti, MCing is kind of like things that waste time, but actually what I see is those who deeply devote into this culture, is much more mature in thinking and behavior..Thesis, keep move on, I am proud of you.

[@BeastenKonG]

[@Rockin5teve]

HEY BRO IS YOUR CAPS LOCK ON OR WHAT???

[@Kensoy83]

Thesis stating his thesis, Nice!...

[@powerofthefro]

It's a good thing I wasn't playing the "you know what I'm sayin' " drinking game here or I would probably be in a ER.

[@AztecaJose]

why the anger?

[@RobertoHernandez-mf8ke]

i heard thesis fell in love with Ayumi when they were paired together in that competition and that now thesis is all depressed in life because she turned him down

[@BboyEklypse]

I know thesis very well. He's one of my good friends. This comment is completely not true. He does like asain girls, but he isn't all depressed because he was pursuing Ayumi. They are good friends. Thesis the last couple years has really focused on his style and has worked really hard and all his wins and accomplishments are earned and he is a cool dude just in general.

[@folicell]

yeah i know what you mean

[@bboyfunkievue5990]

[@Hysokaofficiel]

[@haroldoyu95]

[@josephrafaelh]

[@M0RN1N6_5T4R]

What... Lol we should have MC battled when u were in anchorage

[@j_One43]

Because it gets you banned from said event forever.

[@ceeeboyz]

Bro, hip hop is an umbrella term for MCing, DJing, graffiti and bboying. I think the hip hop you're talkin bout is the shit that rappers come up with and I agree that a lot of them talk shit about getting money etc. but the hip hop culture has helped countless people over the years... If you've done your hard practice on the floor, surely you must have felt something rewarding out of it? Hip hop's been a great way to connect with the creative side of the youth and kept me sane through school

[@wordey123]

You know what I'm sayin?

[@jayc9130]

[@d2e32d4]

[@klaim1productions]

.you need to school yourself on some REAL Hip Hop Like KRS One.. "Hip is the Knowledge.. Hop is the Movement".. Stop judging the "Movement" based on what you see portrayed in the media.. Sounds like your 'Years of Research' has been in the wrong place..
