Right? I 100% not to sound cliche, but being from outside the culture, it is tough to be taken seriously. In my opinion, regarding music and the arts; there are no barriers. Life in itself should be color-blind. I'm tired of all the infighting we as a society have to deal with these days; it's a waste of time and energy.

For any dancer who has ever had to "man up." For anyone who enter the cipher and came out a different person; crazy love for Legs and all that he has done over the years for all of us... showing us it is possible to transcend and change both the world around us, and our own limitations. Art and life; thanks Crazy Legs...

It's a timeless art form that is always extremely impressive to look at. Jersey City has a school that teaches it. All the pioneers no matter which team, should ALWAYS be honored before every show in a ceremonial manner because this wonderful light was brought to the world by them. The fact that people are doing this all over the world lends credence to the fact that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. It was not learned in a classroom. I heard it's going to be brought to the olympics! The only reason it's not seen more is because social media has so much diversion, but I look for it and the music is great. NYC Woman

I'm from Southern Blvd and Jennings, I was an underground Graffiti Artist and a use to be a break dancer as well, I went to school with crazy legs but never had the honor to chill with him, success came to him really fast, I was on line when they were taking the extras for beat Street at the Roxy's but never got in. I wish I was a part of this success, I still do Graffiti portraits, but Rock Steady will never be forgotten.
