TBB 40th Anniversary: Interview with Batch

[@bboyloosegoose]

Great words from Batch! I love how he was asked to give a shout out to the crews of the past, and he responded by looking to the future. He doesn't sugarcoat the history, but he also doesn't vilify it. He's straightforward and honest. The culture he helped create is now doing so much good in the world. Thank you TBB!

Zulu Kings was formed in 75 and it was the first b-boy crew. what yr was TBB formed. Couldnt have been 75 too. You conflating graff with TBB

[@JohnnyJuiceRosado]

TBB was formed in 1974 as a Graf crew. It became a rocking crew in the summer of 1975.

[@edge5754]

Cholly Rock has stated Zulu Kings came out in late 1975 early 1976. Which makes T.B.B the 1st Rocking Crew.

[@djhardcorproductions6132]

Breakin was way before Rockin and African Bambata was not the father of Hip Hop. Also Bambata did not turn the Black Spades into the Zulu Nation either. He just started his own organization and maybe some the Spades joined the nation

[@Kaya-Ile-Taino]

Nah, there was no breaking/bboying as we know it before Rockin , What you might be thinking about is individual moves which sheet, we can go back to the south U.S and africa with,. but Rockin and the spirit that rockin became top rock/ up rock existed before breakdancing,. Ypu are right about Bam not turning the spades though.

[@djhardcorproductions6132]

@@Kaya-Ile-Taino Burnin was before breaking if you wanna say that was rockin then ok so be it. But what we all came to know what they called rockin back in the day was not breakin. The term rockin came about after Bboy or breakin tho

[@Kaya-Ile-Taino]

i am honestly confused, we agree that rockin came before breaking, but then you go on to say that rockin came after BBoying. So are you are saying that Herc came with the term Bboying, before the term and dance called rockin was taking place? @@djhardcorproductions6132

[@djhardcorproductions6132]

This says established in 1975 which is clearly after 1970 so rockin is obviously after what the first bboys were doing. So it's either not the same shit or they just added to and evolved breakin. I think its just Latin version of what the b boys started years earlier taken to another level.

[@Kaya-Ile-Taino]

1970? so are we to believe that trixie, sasa ,the twins and doug were hitting the floor before the cool herc parties? @@djhardcorproductions6132
