Thank you for capturing Black history....my childhood (I'm a 1976 baby). No one calling each other "N*gga", because it wasn't popularized. It was used amongst us....but, it wasn't glorified or popularized. Latinos were NOT using that word, unless it was derogatory. No "gangsta/drug-glorified/street-glorified" music culture, either. Oh my god---HOT TRACKS!! We used to watch Hot Tracks, every Friday night...because we didn't have cable, or MTV. We alternated between "Hot Tracks" and "Friday Night Videos", on NBC. "Friday Night Videos" were for the millions of other Americans (mostly Caucasian), who didn't have cable tv. "Hot Tracks" w/ Carlos DeJesus included a majority of music videos from Black Artists who didn't receive enough national exposure. I can proudly say I remember this era, vividly. However, by the time we hit 1983/1984....our culture began to blow up and the vultures stepped-in; to exploit our movement. This video is documenting the era of explosion. But, rewind to the film footage of the late 1970's. THAT's when the Hip-Hop movement was still underground and fermenting....waiting to be captured. Harlem (pre-gentrified, crime-ridden and run-down buildings) and the South Bronx (same poverty scenario.....even worse, in some areas)....were my homes (my brothers and I traveled between our family). BTW: the tracking and taping-over the previous segments with the VCR...and the Burger King tv commercial with a cameo of [Actress] STACEY DASH....really warmed my heart. GEN-X, FOREVER!!

I've never lived in America, but I shared the same feelings as you. I don't know English, I write with the help of a dictionary, but I share the same feelings as you. I was born in 79. In our childhood, scenes from America were shown on television on Saturdays. Now when I watched this Burger King commercial, I felt exactly the same way you do. It is also a part of our past. It's like I've watched that commercial over and over again. I went to the 80's, to America, to your childhood. I traveled on beautiful sunny days, ate and drank with you and watched you dance. Hey man, hope to see you in Heaven. I hope the children of Harlem become Muslims. Prophet Muhammad says that there is eternal youth in Heaven. We can enter any year we want (for example, the 80s) and live our beautiful memories there over and over again. Forever. Always young.

In the The Dynamic Rockers biography it says: "Dynamic won 1st place in the contest. The grand prize was supposed to be a role in Harry Belafonte’s upcoming film, “Beat Street“, however, they never appeared in the film due to a financial dispute between their management and the film’s producers."

I caught this as a 13 year-old in '83. That was the year Hip-Hop exploded! Interesting that although Dynamic took 1st place, they never appeared in the film "Beat Street," which I believe was part of the prize. Actually, I think they were in the film, but their part was cut. There was quite a few breaking scenes in the movie that didn't make the final cut. Rest In Peace to the late great, Carlos DeJesus, Anita Morris and Lester Wilson, who helped judge the contest.

@@koe1 i personally knew the Dynamic Rockers, my brother, Louie Newave was a member of Dynamic Rockers , he went, in 1982, to Austria, with them, i had the pleasure of meeting and knowing Glyde, waveylegs, Spinner, air born, spider. I usto hang with one of them, in Astoria, off of Astoria Blvd, & 31 st. To my understanding, the Dynamic Rockers broke up, just before the contest, and the new group was now called the Dynamic Breakers, The Dynamic Rockers were still around, but the Dynamic Breakers were the ones that won the Roxy’s contest. I heard, but its just word of mouth, not 100% sure, that the Dynamic Breakers & the people making the Movie, Beat Street, had a disagreement, unknown what is was about, just that the Dynamic Breakers pulled out of the Movie.

The only one dancing in that group of people. That I respect is float. I was the best up rock was me, and I was from Chelsea Manhattan projects. They used to call me snake or the one. and the reason they gave me the name the one. Is because I was not in any crew. They didn’t know my name but whatever I came in the circle they used to say that’s the one he’s nice. a lot of people also know me by kiki.

11:01 - The reporter had to wait a little more than "a couple of years" but it finally came true. Break dancing is an Olympic event in Paris 2024. For some that's a sellout, others may find it evolving. To me the 80's will always be where it was, but fun to see how it's evolved these days. Some of today's breakers have mad skills.

What a Master piece of Oldskool Hip Hop history and in great visual quality! Even the commercials in the 80s were exciting to watch. Also what I know is that Dynamic Breakers declined being in the movie "Beat Street" because they fear that the world (competition) would steal all their moves! (Stupid thinking & decisions). Therefore the spot was given to the New York City Breakers! The "Rock Rockers" in Beat Street (Rock Steady Crew) were already automatically the breakdancing crew in the movie vs NY City Breakers!

@@DeeJayResist Hip Hop is not black culture. Yes, the name was coined by blacks(i.e. Afrika Bambaataa) to describe NYC culture, not "black american" culture. 99.99% of black americans had nothing to do with it. Graffiti is not black culture. "Breaking", as the world knows it, is not a "black dance". Blacks had their style of dancing while a guy named Spy would be responsible for creating what most people would end up adopting. Yes, the style of dj-ing associated with hip-hop was started by blacks in the Bronx. Yes, the rap vocal style is black. The styles of dress adopted into early hip-hop: sweat bands, wind breakers, jump suits,... were not a "black thing". The music has huge influences from white producers in the early 80s. I say all of this respectfully.
