There were many LA crews who had more power moves than RSC, but they couldn't touch the originality, smooth and sweet footwork that RSC had, and is only appreciated by those who know true hip hop and bboying.
This dude dances like a native American in a Pow Wow. He puts the pow in my Kung Pow. He puts the wow in my Pow Wow. He rocks. I hope he doesn't twist a nut, or dislocate a shoulder.
yeah and to go along with that note...rocksteady has become a business for "breakdancing". but bboys like luigi and heps fury only worked for rocksteady for awhile. they droped out i hear...
I agree, there were other crews that were better in certain ways than RSC, but that doesn't mean RSC weren't kings. I'm talking about influence wise, if you ask most bboys and poppers about their influence, you'll rarely ever hear them reference Mr. Wave, or any NYCB member. They'll always give you Wiggles, Crazy Legs, Ken Swift, etc. Waves had some cool crazy stuff, but Wiggles wasn't blown away by him.
You know that the RSC Rocksteady crew are the old school guys you're talking about right? Crazy Legs, Mr. Wiggles, Kuriaki, Ken Swift, all RSC members. There are older kats than them in the 1970's, but the RSC guys were the ones in the 80's that were on television and exposed. Luigi is the new generation, but the new generation who is in a crew that is from the old.
The guy in this video, bboy Luigi, is from the new generation of the Rocksteady crew, he's not one of the older guys like Ken swift. You may know this already or I'm misunderstanding your comment, no hard feelings, just letting you know if you didnt' brother. Peace
No doubt, NYC breakers were also very vital to the start of hip hop being exposed to the world. But it's out of RSC that the more influential and strong influences of bboying came out from. Basically every popper, locker, and even hip hop dancers in music vids can all trace their style of dancing, moves, etc, to Mr. Wiggles influence. Ken Swift is called the Prince of bboying for a reason,
Wiggles has more variety and vocabulary. he can boogaloo, lock, and do almost every style including being able to break. Mr. wave just had like one or two routines he always did. They were dope routines, but always the same two or three sets, whereas wiggles, could use thousands of sets and not run out, and do almost every genre of street dance to perfection, whereas wave can do two or three sets of just one genre of popping.
First off, I want to know why you said those "dudes" when this video only shows one bboy, bboy Luigi. And Luigi's a rarity, where he has the old school flava, cleanness, and rocksteady movement. He moves a lot more like the old school than any Korean bboy, and I'm Korean, and I love Korean bboys, but as far as old school flava and the understanding of that, Luigi has that down on a higher level, especially because he is in the RSC crew, I'm sure you know that RSC are old school kings.
Ken Swift is known as the man with a thousand moves, Icey ice from NYCB, basically always just did the same set too. So in the sense of being influential for the hip hop scene as a whole, RSC are the kings, and even back to moves, why does NYC have more moves? I thought you said, "I think the old school had more flavor and they were more smooth," what does that have to do with having more moves?
The new school has way more moves than RSC and NYC combined, yet you were complaining about the new school being less flavorful and clean. And now you're talking about more "moves?" Your position keeps changing
and pretty much every Korean bboy in Korea including the ones I used to practice with, can trace their influence to Ken Swift. Either way, weren't you saying it was the "old school" who had more flavor and smoothness, and RSC falls under that category, and what does having more "moves" have to do with flavor and smoothness?
A gymnast can have more moves than a bboy, it doesn't mean he has more flavor. You claim to be old school, yet your knowledge of hip hop history and fundamentals are skewed. I think you're frontin
one of the nastiest that I've ever seen. Truly what rocksteady symbolizes....flavor, and foundation, not to mention the dude has power too.

This dude dances like a native American in a Pow Wow.

Throughout this video, it's only one guy, bboy Luigi, not plural. And no way is he sloppy, he's clean
