Blows my mind that these kids created the most dominant youth culture on the planet basically out of nothing. Out of the burnt up rubble of the south bronx they created America's biggest export. It's just amazing to me.

[@bicoastalent]

😂 Please, this party was over a decade later after #HipHop was invented.

[@kevinforeman4485]

And was destroyed. Today's rap music is NOT hip hop.

[@thugmonk9837]

@@bicoastalent i meant kids from the Bronx in general. Not necessarily the kids in this video

[@jrallday]

What a time to be alive. I wish I could’ve experienced that era 🏆

[@idread1104]

Crazy fresh times! Most didn't have much but you had your music and hip hop culture.

[@musiclover-cn7tb]

I live for the 80's themes .

[@teakea5838]

The BEST Era!!💯. Period!!

[@Repunza]

YEP!!!!

[@jimmiejones9596]

By the way, the Brother in the "Black Sweater & Grey Jeans" on Stage watching VIN DEE Pop Locking by the door is Legendary DJ DISCO KING MARIO.. The Reason I know? I grew up in BRONX RIVER PROJECTS My entire Life Since the 1960's 😎🤙🏿

[@reinaldorosario8400]

Holy shit !! I was I'm in this video Bronx River party I was next to crazy legs Wow I remember This day

[@jordanleclair467]

That beat, with the guitar, sounds really good!

[@djdedan]

It’s a cover of ESG’s UFO

[@bradleyamb9566]

There are two versions of the Planet Rock music video, there is the first version from 1982 and the one that contains scenes from this video

[@bxdale83]

This is Bronx River Center. 1983

[@jordanleclair467]

bxdale83 is it still the same?

[@bxdale83]

@Sh Wt The version with this footage was the redone version. This the original 1982 versionkzbin.info/www/bejne/bnzLfGuhq9-fgpY The one that everyone knows is the 2nd version that was released years later and it has spliced footage from 1981-1983 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b3uWnaqQn62YpKM The above video is a Bronx River Party from 1983

[@djdedan]

Too much style! See some webo dancers in there too. One of few videos of that style. New York always killing it.

[@crbailey9191]

My high school days!!!!!

[@terilphelps1122]

That lie Puerto Ricans weren’t involved in HOP HIP!! I seen plenty of Puerto Rocs in this early footage.

[@bxdale83]

This is not early. Hip Hop was 10-12 years old in 1983. There weren't many in the early 70's

[@100jenaboo]

As a Jamaican I can tell you that the Puerto Ricans were there with us. AA now and then we're xenophobic. They didn't join in until 10 years later when it came above ground

[@brooklynmedina7676]

This is a decade AFTER hip hop started. Yall are hilarious. Crazy Legs is admittedly 2nd generation bboy and they’re on video saying they were mimicking African Americans.

[@brooklynmedina7676]

@@100jenabooyou’re a whole liar. And you can’t be Jamiaican.

[@nycricanpapi]

​@@brooklynmedina7676 you're hilarious. You're trying so hard to deny that Puerto Ricans and blacks created hip hop. But Puerto Ricans were there since the beginning

[@akiranova8641]

Man this brings back GOOD memories. I bet there were no shoot outs that night. Awesome!! 🔥

[@Wheresnorth4romhere]

Buzzin with my new Adidas superstar tracksuit i got today. This is what ill be drinking to tonight 🍻😎🤟

[@jacobgroce6613]

I just notice between 2:24 and 2:27 an early Stevie d and Mercury was the force mc"s before the force md"s...this is what you call a party

[@santana3455]

This is the Basquiat era.

[@sheldonhchambliss1385]

Awesome freaking awesome

[@rexsexson5349]

My childhood

[@ramboram03]

This footage was used for the 1982 Planet rock video but most of these shots are from late 1983, so the video for Planet Rock came out in 83/84

[@djdedan]

This is footage from that dude that did graffiti rock. Michael Holman or Mark Holman can’t remember but I saw it on his b-roll.

[@bradleyamb9566]

[@RandomFlavor]

There was no such thing as "Hip Hop" a decade before this. Stick to west coast culture, and leave Bronx history to us...

[@bicoastalent]

@@RandomFlavorGTFOH❗️ Black People was doing this a decade before this 80s #hiphop party. Yall still tryna push that LIE but ppl just ain’t going for it anymore. #hiphop is a solely created genre by #BlackAmericans and always have been. #HipHopSince1967 #MicrophoneCheck

[@spoonbred]

Think about it - if some NY cats told LA's "hip hop story" Cali would a mf fit...Bronx hip hop was always multi-cultural.

[@88Freshhh]

graffity Rock!

[@flashtalks]

00:00:34 is Speed-D from The Bronx (The New York City Breakers)

Lord Jamar said Puerto Rican wasn't involved but I'm seeing alot of Puerto Ricans in this footage bruh
