Rock Steady Crew: The Truth

[@gechavar]

Hip Hop was our NYC sub culture. It was how we lived, dressed, danced, talked, etc.. We did not learn Hip Hop back then, we created it. Each hood had Graff. Artist, Bombers, Mc's, Rockers, DJs and Crews. "DON'T BITE" These Brothers are right.

This comment is 6 years old but it’s been cemented in hip hop for almost 50 years. Peace

Mr. Wiggles, PopMaster Fabel, Ken Swift

[@khmerxbxboi]

Grand Master = this word mostly come from watching Martial Art movies also "martial art influence hiphop"... I believe Martial Art + Bruce Lee + Pop Culture = play a role too ... Planet Rock = Kraftwerk = I never knew until google exist

[@mansamusa2012]

This was the 90s and they were talking about the fall of Hip Hop.

[@peacecrewproducts]

Coke La Rock was hip hop first emcee.

[@truckinbrothetrucka452]

He explained the difference between a " breaker" and a B Boy perfectly. Tons of kids can spin on their head and do flips but they don't have that " funk". The rhythm the footwork..u gotta live a certain way .. experience life and hip hop culture to get that ingrained in you.

[@Klos1neMN]

MIND. BLOWN. Thanks Wiggs and Fabel. Especially Fabel, he really went in depth with it. I had the honor and privelage of judging a bboy battle with him, he was a cool brother, full of history and insight. All you had to do was ask. BTW, I like how Wiggles signs a blackbook while Fabel is talking, when I met them both I got both of them to sign mine along with Skeeter Rabbit.

[@matiasescarlon1864]

what about the nyc breakers? they were so real. i mean, of course they were the floor masters at the begining. but, then they called themselves the nyc "breakers"...

[@adeshkumar1063]

Mr wiggles lol ah man this doods a legend . Saw him on video at 45 poppin in europe so hes gotta be in his 50s now for sure . When i see beat street i never recognise him lol

[@adeshkumar1063]

Rsc i respect but these legends dont live how they use too. In the 90s nyc had a new mayor in town to promise to clean up nyc thats RUDY..... he wanted no graffiti, no breakin on the streets , no load stereos blasting like how it was the opposite in the 83 84 era... I had a relative came to nyc here in south bronx and he was shocked how the kids sadly today will never know the essence of REAL HIP HOP. As he was last hear in summer of 85 and remembers breakin on the streets those amazing graffiti trains. I relate even more as i grew up and saw it all. Nyc will always be the home of hiphop . In the 80s i was a kid i travelled sometines outta state to jersey lol to LA but never had that massive energy that new york had. Sad really But greatful as i witnessed it all.

[@christinedelgado5250]

damn 1987 when i was popping in high school those were the days

[@MindRises]

It's probably a misunderstanding. I just found a Coke La Rock interview and it was/is ENLIGHTENING. If I had the money, I would pay for the sheer joy as teenager in the early 80s the pioneers gave to me, especially T LA ROCK.

[@thevelointhevale1132]

Ken Swift is looking like ... 'I don't know what the fuck these muthafucka's are talking bout' ... it's like the Hip Hop version of Spinal Tap getting bogged down into the HO situation ... lol

[@jeremys2364]

lol, true that bro! The look on his face is priceless. Like "how we got onto this subject?" HIP-HOP YA DON'T STOP!

[@DoggieNYC]

The essence of true hip hop has def been twisted and diluted ever since the early 90's. The message has been lost.

[@millsbomb007]

just liek dj'ing, kids now think they are proper dj's with their auto-temp, and sync buttons. Take all that tech away and majoity wouldn't be able to count to 4 and mix shit.

Mr Wiggles made some good points but is incorrect when stating Cowboy was the first to pick up a mic. Cowboy came years after Mr. Biggs, Busy Bee, and many others.

Word is Born..... All Fact !!!

[@nuffflavor]

Jacob Meth Urban Dictionary : www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=word+is+born RUN DMC Lyrics: www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/rundmc/wordisborn.html I was there, I was a part of the culture, "Born" was the CORRECT terminology (1980's).

[@Moeskillzful]

+nuffflavor It's word is bond. Some have made the same mistakes. Most didn't catch it being that it sounded the same, It probably got to a point were it got changed not knowing what it was suppose to mean. The phrase "My word is bond". Was used by the 5 percent nation. Back in the early to mid 80's. Almost everybody was a G.O.D. or a 5 Percenter. If not were affiliated with one. Everyone in the hood anyway. Google rapers from 80 to 89 90 percent had GOD Body names.

[@nuffflavor]

Derrick Funnye' That is cool, but this video is of the Hip Hop genre and the term "Word is Born" is what was used. I have already posted (the comment before yours) that FACT that is was used. I am not debating the origin... I am stating WHAT was the term for HIP HOP.

[@dins5066]

It's "word is born"! I Hate when mofos try and correct people when they wrong asf..only time I heard word is bond was Wesley snipes in New Jack City. Never heard cats say that shit.
