I love the part where Poe One says: "We need to be more articulate".... I mean... Poe One is one of the most heart felt, inspiring and articulate O.G's in this scene. He could read a bloody Harry Potter book and it would send chills down my spine!!! Steelo, if you read this I just want you to know that you're the epitome of a man to me. Stay hungry, stay true and know that with every victory you're not just breaking down your own barriers - you're breaking down mine as well. Eternal props!!!!!

[@StylelementsTV]

Hey everybody. First off thanks for all the support through the years. We have lots of things bubbling. We aint going no where!! To answer a few questions I wanted to say this: Not all member s were able to make it to this interview for various reasons. Members live in other cities/states, some members were traveling with gigs, work, etc, and the reality is some members just aren't active. Songs that people are asking about were produced in conjunction with SEC, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED!

[@Pr0_X.29]

Steelo is back!!!!!!Yeahhhhhhhhhh! One love from Greece! TotalRealityCrew!!

[@TalibanRockerSince02]

STYLE ELEMENTS = LEGENDARY CREW!!!! Much Respect From Greece;-))))

[@BboyShoWw]

Words of wisdom from these guys man. They speak truth. A huge percent of the hiphop community today know nothing of the culture or of the creators of it all. Alot off bboys i meet know nothing of the history of it. Correct me if im wrong but i believe Afrika Bambaataa said "knowledge is the 5th element of hip hop." Educate yourself.

"its not so that you all stand out, it's so you all grow" ...serious knowledge mannnn!

[@FireMasterZo0m]

[@angeleonce1]

I'm really digging this, there are few crews who are still like this. my crew Lost In Translation is inspired by all these people and there aspects. Hopefully we can grow up to be like these OG's and stuff.

[@andreygermanov4363]

MIDUS A STYELEMENTS NOW?? WOOOHHH!!! ONE OF MY FAVORITES. ANYWAY, I RESPECT ALL OF THESE BBOYS HERE. ESPECIALLY STUNTMAN, POE ONE, STEELO, PANDORA ETC.... BUT I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE THE LEGENDARY STYLELEMENTS MEMBERS ( NO DISRESPECT TO THESE BBOYS ) OR AT LEAST SOME OF THEM. J-RAWK, SUPER DAVE, IVAN ( FAVORITE BBOY ), TOMMY BOY ( POPPER ), AND SO ON. THATS THE GENERATION I GREW UP WATCHING AND THATS WHO I CONSIDER THE OG'S FROM THIS CREW. MUCH RESPECT ANYWAYS.

[@user-ts2hq7pv2p]

Let me add a remark!!! I think we need to study the culture - but not only ours own! Due to Globalization and travel oportunities - we can study the cultures from all over the World!!! And we must use it - because we are "Citizens of the World" not only of our country!))))) And not all culteres are fruitfull!!! We know some of them with huge background, the cultures with a great influence such as - African, Chinese, Japonies, Russian, Indian etc.

[@pego2]
