New York City Breakers 80's footage

This was the beginning era of the culture of Hip Hop B-Boying "Break Dancing" , Graffiti , Deejaying and Electronic music , I thank GOD that I was around as a lil kid and this culture known as Hip hop raised me to be the person that I am now, I was 8 years old when I became part of the culture. Hip Hip taught me how to artistically express myself with words, music and visual art. I learned how to build computers and Hip Hop led me to the knowledge , I got my first professional sampler when I was 19yo The Ensoniq EPS 16plus , when I learned that machine it taught me the language of the recording sciences also the functionality and structure of digital programming also known as sequencing, from that point on once I incorporated other machines and later on computers it was no stopping me. And this started from being inspired by the culture of Hip Hop.

The fact that the beat is looped changed everything. The big composition, but basic endless groove and creativity.

[@KappaDaKappa]

Sequencer/Sampler/Drum machines was also a big step, instead of manually looping vinyls

[@DigitalOdyssey3001]

Classic 80's Hip-Hop. This beat is being brought back by a DJ with scratches and perfect timing. No digital loop machines or samplers. OG elements of Hip-Hop!!!

[@rudybarraza6339]

Im 54 started to bboy at age 13 in nyc during this era. The vibe was dope. Trains were bombed lots of clubs all over manhattan. Even though the violence and crime was far worse than now. But we got thru it. Great memories.

[@Warmaker01]

This is awesome, makes me real nostalgic. When this music and breakdancing were a thing in the early 1980s, I was still in elementary school. On the weekends or late afternoon or early evenings on the weekdays, older kids or young adults would gather at our school's playground. Break out the boomboxes, flattened out cardboard boxes, and the guys would just be there dancing off. I used to love watching them. The moves, the handoffs, the posing LOL I still love it!

A D B-Boying is constantly evolving and B-Boys are getting better and better with each generation. It started in the early 1970s with basic moves. Backspins back then was the TOP move. By the early to mid 80s, the windmill became the top move. Today, I guess it would be “flares” maybe?
