Dyzee "Before Art Was Judged" - rare footage 1998

[@eligabeivan]

THIS IS WHAT BREAKING REALLY IS. - a lot of people don't realize that even though breakin has become more popular through media giving more people access to studio space, when your forced to break in stinky basements, school hallways, the street, that is where the REAL CREATIVITY and ORIGINALITY is born ~

[@kandybeats7447]

so much freedom and expression of creativity in his threads

[@ClAcKeRzW]

If I could dance like anyone it would be Dyzee. He's creative, unique, original and probably a very genuine guy in real life with an intellectual head screwed on. No Clichés needed, the video speaks for itself. Nice too see the mentality still remains even though i'm only a bboy of 3 years and have much to learn. Peace.

[@GratefulGeorge]

originality reigns supreme, man dyzee i remember msging you back in 2015 on facebook got so stoked that you actually responded to my question. any ways i wish i came up and said hi at lords of the floor. i just figured that wouldn't be the last time i got to see you. big fan you and puzzle really helped influenced how i bboy fr foot work and originality. i got a foot work battle this weekend I'm going to make sure to have fun and be me.

[@NatoRawk]

It makes me sad how fulll of lies our dance has become,i miss its purity too i started in 97-98 and its really changed alot.thanks for reminding me why its still worth it

[@CToya]

[@kiddvandal91]

1998 and this was some dope pure creative and CLEAN breaking. Cant believe you were this good even all the way back then!

[@albertoloco123]

You are the most original Bboy i have ever seen. Big ups to you Dyzee

[@kameseram6654]

Bboy Dyzee My Favourite 🥰💥MAY GOD BLESS YOU BRO PEACE 🙏🙏🙏⭐

[@DyzeeDiaries]

Hey God bless you too! Take care

[@dennismcruz]

1998 was just about when I was starting out. I remember me and me crew were always talking about how crazy and original your style was. Surprisingly, one day after school, you dropped by to break with us. I'll never forget. I even remember that notebook filled with moves that you carried with you. I can't believe that was over 13 years ago.

[@EllisatTT]

At the same time I am inspired I am nostalgic. I am completely amazed at the level of creativity here and how you have managed to make connections in your artwork. I only wish there was a feel and an environment for this kind of mentality to breed as i like how artistic this is.

[@chornie90]

you are an inspiration man... thanks for sharing

[@EnigmaticElement]

I've said before and I'll say it again. The true mark of an artist is a timeless essence. This style is timeless.

[@sirixb]

I love this, thanks!

[@wolflovesyou]

Inspiration At Its Finest

[@timothyy7]

holy shit, even back in 98' Dyzee's flow was amazing. O___O

[@m1ko0]

[@Mykoveli417]

So dope

[@bboykiro89]

[@bboytryhard]

dude, im breathless, that was hectic bro. Keep it real in christ yo.

[@kingandizzle89]

wow, even in 1998, cleanliness is unreal

[@bboyzdravko]

AWESOME!

[@djlourocdragon9962]

new bboys need to see this kind of foot work its not all about power.style control transition direction change flow and fun mean just as much as an airflare.ever young guy a talk to wants to learn how to airflare and i always tell them work on your 6step 1st and windmill next then after maybe theyll be ready if they havnt given up.

[@BizarreTattoosTime]

yeah thats hot. i wish i documented my life starting tattoos.i went from scratching to art but toook me about 10 years to really get it. but nothing like the beginning..those were the days. ahhhhhhhhhhh.nice job.ur gonna make me cry lol...nice job dyzee keep it up.

[@thibflashback]

[@DonaldDUHKID]

Your my inspiration

[@Mo0m0oSaZn]

I clicked the like button once, but in this case, 1 = 1,000,000. P.S. - Seriously can't wait for the next video.

[@mikaelmarklund7908]

Have to say that Dyzee is made the un-crowned g.o.a.t rember since clips of him around 2000 and i was just blown out of my head. seeing this today i'm just like, God Damn!

[@GuiltyRoK]

Wow, you know i remember you saying that Gizmo was one of your biggest influences, and I fully see it in this video. I fully see Gizmo in almost all of what you did in this video and i must say its incredibly impressive. you've completely made your style form it and evolved so sooo much, its really a wonderful site to see. Bravo man, keep doing your thing Dyzee :)

[@aekoldngy]

I dont know you, but your footwork is really nice & inspiring ! I hope i can get a footwork so dope like you !

[@chrisserion7400]

This is hella dope! I swear.. Gotta love this. Bboy Dyzee with Bboying as his art. Dope!

[@godchildrenofsoul]

Looks like a lot of megas inspired moves. Anyway this is dope how dyzee showed originality by putting his spin on the moves. Respect

[@HugoTheSavant]

Hey Dyzee, I remembered you and started looking up clips of you here on KZbin. Nice footage! I wonder if you still remember me. I'm Hugo / Bboy Force, that guy who sent you a bunch of good songs on MSN, and we had some lengthy online convos about theory and flow concepts. We've met at Scarborough Town Center and Sherbourne practices several times. You really are the most memorable bboy from here. I hope things are going well for you in Korea!

[@HendrickNYC]

I feel like I'm still in that world now. Never really wanted to win, just wanted to bboy cuz it was a hell of a good time. Never concerned with getting the craziest power combo or blow up. Creating moves and Footwork for me all day, cuz it's what pleases me the most. True inspiration Dyzee! Or Kuya Karl xD

[@DyzeeDiaries]

Me and Megas were partners when he was in Supernaturalz before he joined Boogie Brats, so of course we were inspired by each other.

[@kevwalk96]

Wow I love this style !!! Did you keep this style today or did it change ?

[@TrAsHMasTer168]

omfg he is amazing

[@Uhcip]

nice

[@MalakABboy]

Agree with you bro.

[@malik87breaker]

What i don't understand is, why we don't see foot work in that level. Interesting. And Dyzee amazing as usual :D

[@JaaayVeee]

dyzee has been original since day 1

[@linglingpho]

powerful ----->This video captures the mentality I had, when we were innocent, before my name spread across the world, before having to win over judges, before caring what other people think

[@Maiconcorvao]

the world to open their eyes and each seek their world, respect nigga, thanks for sharing.

[@chinospillz]

Shout out to Karl !! He grew up in our neighbourhood I got footage of him breaking in 94 dude is beast !! Clarkson Toronto canada native !!

[@larsruberti]

Its like.. Dancing with arms and legs

[@TheBboydel]

Man. Ur mah inspiration of style and threading man, you the best and you were from toronto before and i was at saskatchewan we pretty much close XD. and hey im filipino too. i hope will meet sometimes. PEACE yoo

[@seymourglass26]

Really wonderful footage, and it's clear that you've kept true to your style, so I'm not really sure if the pre-fame stuff matters. You've got nothing to prove and even a "famous" bboy ain't that famous. It's not like you're Tom Brady or Tiger Woods, and even if you were that famous, bboys still go to jams and hang out. I'm pretty sure you'll always be one of us, except that you had more talent and worked harder. Respect.

[@vocabularyspillsimill]

Crazy hyungggg

[@Micheling1997]

"This is art Mr white"

[@BboyFlexii]

*Like if you read the description before you watch the video, i certainley did.

Hey Dyzee, how old were you back in 1998? 19 or so right? I'm 19 now and I'm still not even half this good. Lol. but I won't give up.

[@DyzeeDiaries]

yeap i was 19!

[@niveks5]

Wow dyzee why werent you in bc one in 2004 im pretty sure you could have won it all yourself with just your amazing creative orginal footwork that you have...

[@aekoldngy]

@marv002 @dyzeesupernaturalzzz what's the name of the song plz :D

[@שמואלרלטה-ג7ש]

Bboys are awesome

[@marv002]

[@ratherstaysunknows6090]

im confused , did toronto bboys came with this style or was it benji of france ?, sorry for the stupid and insulting question

[@DyzeeDiaries]

Qubbit0 thread styles as a way of fancing came from Toronto. however benji innovated a lot of trick threads

[@ratherstaysunknows6090]

Dyzee Diaries thank you for clarifying , btw so excited that u actually replied

[@howellrandelvd6744]

[@7srebels]

Inspires me to dance more and more if I cold spend a day with you it wold be amazing or see you one day wold be amazing

[@orrie0105]

Supernatual

[@GuiltyRoK]

@dyzeesupernaturalzzz Ahh very interesting!! i guess great minds think alike then huh, you crazy filipinos you XD hehe, i started breaking around this time, but never even knew who you were. your name was a myth in my area as well.
