When I think of my love of hip-hop, this man is surely in my memories. I grew up knowing there were 5 elements, and Mr. Animation was, and still is the perfect example. Poppin' in the clouds.
I had the privilege of watching this incredible artist doing his thang.. Freaking guy was the shit! Absolutely jaw dropping moves RIP brother and thank you for the memories and inspiration ❤️👍🏽🌹
Great footage of. " Mr. Animation" a legend of South Central, Venice Beach,Air Force Crew, Poppin period! Perfect music for his style bam, bam, bam duuuun , duuun!!!
Mr. Animation, you were one of the best my brotha. And loved the way he didn't miss a beat when dude walked down the steps passed him. RIP king. Blessings to his family.
I grew up in the 80s, never knew about this guy.. we used to drag cardboard to the park to do our dance moves lol good times! I think I was grade 4 back then
Feel your pain my big brother passed away at the age of 46yrs this past Janurary! Your brother absolutely rocked and is missed dearly! We are left with invisible scars the pain grips the heart. Prayers to you and yours truly and may our brothers rest in peace with the Lord ✝️
From 1989 I know this incredible person He always came to the neighborhood Vermont & Leeward spend time we the homeboys. 🤘🏼 Trying to tech us how to dance Big memories. RIP homeboy I just find this video after 30 years!!!!!!💙
Sad to hear this news today. His part in Rhyme and Reason blew my mind! Also the freshest kids part was mad! Great to see more footage of him he will never be forgotten. True heads know R.I.P Mr Animation.
Oh man love from the U.K.I didn't even know this guy guy existed before watching this vid but on seeing it I feel the world is a worse place without him.RIP Mr Animation
I had the honour and luck and blessing of meeting him, he was a friend of my uncle Don Campbellock Campbell so my uncle took me to Hollywood the carnival and he was standing in the club with a big chain around his neck and no shirt dancing, a true genuine cipher boss giving so much positive vibes to al the dancers in the cipher, a real artist a real dancer and on top, he was a very very very real guy, and his dancing is above next level, then now and forever cause its timeless and only a few have this blessins, and in my opinion the best streetdance entertainment shows with popping ever, its not about competition but he simply deserves the credit of a legend pioneer icon and more, man i miss animation, i will always dance with you in mind and other real legends and souls! Noah Campbellock Campbell
For me, Mr. animation is one of the great and always real. Along with Chuco and several that still continue and remain in the childhood. Chuco brother ... I admire you man!
@@egocrusher sorry for the late reply wtf he gone?, I swear I saw someone locking and hitting his style down at Hollywood Blvd. I just cant believe this man.....
hitt in peace MR OG ANIMATION huge influence for the me and the crew i came up in C.S.D. (crushin squads daily) outta eugene oregon Air Force Crew were GODS to us and og animation was my idol rip king
That's the most incredible popping footage I've ever seen in my life. I've ben searching for this lost footage since I was 21 and first saw you guys Radiotron footage with Mr. Animation Chuco and Air Force Crew. This is footage that I haven't been able to find on TH-cam anywhere since that time. Some of that private room footage is available, but not the whole routine that you have posted here. I have to say that I am shocked to hear this news. It is very sad to hear this. We have been blessed to witness such a talent as this man has displayed, and it affects the soul to an ancient level. He changed my life all the time. And this video just changed my life again R.I.P Vincent Foster MR. ANIMATION
So many memories, all the way from Radiotron to Venice Beach, and everywhere else, my brother was always hitting hard! It's sad that so many talented brothers and sisters we use to club with, do shows with, hang out with, are all leaving us. Life is wonderful, it's just too damn short! RIP my friend, we will always remember your name, and what you left in our hearts.
Mr Animation always had a special place for me as a popper. I remember seeing some footage of himwith my friends. It was 90's footage. And we used to say "wow this man never stopped". Even when popping was not hype anymore, back then, he was doing his thing! And when popping became somethin' big in the 2000's he kept popping the way he used to. While OGs were all judging battles all over the world, he was still doing street shows, always close to the street, keepin it real like he said. I never met the guy and I regret it. I came to LA for holidays 2 years ago. I went to Venice beach and I kept an eye open hoping to see him surronded by a curious croud. I'm sad to learn this news! RIP MR ANIMATION, true soldier of hip hop...
Man, I met him years ago in Santa Monica, he was one of my dad’s friends and I ran up and gave him a big tip. Than my dad was behind me and they hugged. man, may he rest peacefully up there.
💯Mr. animation used to pop hard when he was younger. I remember seeing him in 1991 as he got older his routine got a bit softer, most likely just due to age and injury. He was still one of the top 10 in La though.
Vincent Foster, (Mr.Animation) 1966-2016? (6:00) My birth year, he was as old as I was, probably he learned to be B-boy the same age as I did. But I'm still living... Damn. Rest in Peace B-boy brother.
WOW PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO 1:40 TO 2:30 OMG OFF THE CHAIN ARM LEG HEAD AND FOOT MOVEMENT IS HOOOOOT PERFECTION CONFIDENT SMOOTH FUN AND SILLY.. IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT YOU BROKE ALL MY BOOM BOXES FOR A GOOD REASON when we were children LOL
Fuck he was the man a true innovator of the dance, he was more like Michelangelo painting an incredible piece of art with his body! A true instrument of nature RIP my man and thank you for the memories!!🌹🌹❤️❤️😪
Omg, R.I.P, big bro! He tried to teach me how to do the CHEST POP! "Think of your chest like a speaker 🔊" fun times hanging with him 😢, Ivan (URBAN ACTION FUGURE) and Frankie D. (F2D) also Pappa Lock "Pakelika" (KOTTONMOUTH KINGS) Always a circle forms on the dance floor with him, and use at any club or venue! - Intell
Mr. Amination was in 1990 in Heilbronn at the Waldheide with the Machine Gun and the Red LeBaron ;-) he also was with the MP to close the city at 1AM - "Ausgangssperre"
Yo Mr Animation was an amazing dancer, I am watching his movements, he is doing some Electric Boogie New York, style, with Egyptian, king Tut, I dont know much about Mr Animation, who was his dance crew, what area he from,
This does not look like Electric Boogie. New York did have their own style that was classic but this aint it. We were in "The Mighty Airforce Crew" and we left that and formed another crew, "UBZ". Mr. Animation was from South Central L.A. Peace
MY BIG BROTHER WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE LOVED HE WAS TRULY A GENUINE MAN LOVED EVERYBODY I MISS YOU SO MUCH ... VINCENT JOHNSON R.I.P
It was Vincent Foster i believe. Yeah everybody loved him.
When I think of my love of hip-hop, this man is surely in my memories. I grew up knowing there were 5 elements, and Mr. Animation was, and still is the perfect example. Poppin' in the clouds.
I MET MR.ANIMATION ON VENICE BEACH BACK IN 2003. VERY INTELLIGENT AND TALENTED BROTHER. R.I.P.
Jehovah has your Brother. He is Golden! BBoy for life. Peace and Blessings and love to you and your Families. Sincerely Matthew
Yo are there any Documentaries on Mr Animation. It would be good to learn about his Dancing influences, how he got started,
Every time l listen to Egyptian Lover it will always remind me of Mr Animation. RIP.
I'm bboy from Brazil, crew DF ZULU BREAKERS and I've always followed BBoy Chuco and Mr Animation, greetings!
RIP homeboy! Legends never die. We remember always. Old school for life !!!
