I’m from L.A so the first time I saw something like this was in a video with Crunchy Black, but these dudes are gonna win any competition that they attend..I love being black..
I'm from Mississippi white as hell an I've done broke everything in the kitchen trying to do dis stuff. But for real I'm from the 80s. I seen the debuts of the breakdancing epidemic. Very fortunate. This is extremely sophisticated dope. Nothing like this in all 4 corners of the world except for America baby. Good job fellas
I'm from Philly where the Wu-Tang is popping but this Jookin is just so smooth and it incorporates old school popping and breaking incredible skills everyone one there.
Dear Black Males How does dancing in the street, lifting weights on TH-cam, playing with basketball balls on TH-cam, vertical jumping towards basketball ball goals on TH-cam and all this buffoonery you engage in everyday... 1. Feed you? 2. Cloth you? 3. Shelter you? 4. Address miseducation? 5. Address police genocide? 6. Address gentrification? 7. Address killing each other? 8. Address mass incarceration? 9. Address lack of wealth? 10. Address building up your communities? 11. Address black disunity? 12. Address black disorganization? 13. Address not building your own institutions and creating jobs for your people? 14. Address other groups economically controlling your communities? Etc.
😂😂😂 man what shorts n beater like summer long sleeve shirt like spring jacket like fall the one dude got on coat n hoodie like winter 😂😂 starting to think they did it on purpose
OMG!! Micheal Jackson would love the moonwalk variations! I loved the OG’s, they mixed dance styles with great flow. The shirtless guy, so talented, he is a born ballet dancer. Everyone was amazingly talented. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Love African American Culture! It's so diverse. Music, dance, language, fashion, HBCUs, etc. Every city has it's own unique dance styles and subculture. These dance videos are dope as fuck and these kings killed it!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Shout outs to Memphis from NYC. This is dope! I love how black people got different dance styles, music, fashion and even how we talk is all different from State to State. We some creative mofos! Love being BLACK!!!
Yo no BS just know y’all get a lot of love out here in NYC. Memphis homies be out here labbing with a couple of my homies exchanging techniques them sessions be legendary theres a lot we can learn from one another. I just love to see black ppl shine, happy to see y’all receive y’all flowers because this shit ain’t easy!
As native Memphian thank you for showing love to the city..... As you can see it's not all negative here. It's a lot of hate here like anywhere, but as long as the love is stronger than the hate we will all be just fine....
U do kno this dance came from nyc in the 80s. Jookin was created at the roof top skating rink. It was called dope fiend jook. Dope fiends used to dance like this and ppl start playin imatating it. And it got popular in the mid 80s. When alpo went to dc. Others went to Memphis, atl, texas etc. Selln drugs. Thats when it started getting different. Blk ppl started to dress diff. Hip hop. Etc. It came from ny. And the Memphis music style, and ppl , culture, vibe turned it into this. Memphis is under rated. And the culture is Memphis. Dont get it fukkd up. This is some Memphis shit. Jus cause it came from ny dont mean it int theirs. Shit. Rap came from ny. Hip hop style came from philly. But its still each areas own
The whole world keeps its eyes on us at all times, we are the indigenous Niijis of America we are not from Africa nor are our ancestors, the history our colonizers wrote for us to learn in their school SYSTEM is a big fat lie, we are creators and inventors of many things the world benefit from, there is a hidden secret truth to us Niiji Americans they are afraid to get out but the wheel is turning.
That was some of the Coldest dancing from some young Black Brothers and sista. It's in our soul we move so smooth. 🤙🏿🤟🏿♒😁💯 I know why they Envy Us😂. Much luv peace and prosperity to all reading 💯
Bro behind the camera is hilarious He definitely adds to it in a Good Way Keeps it live for the ears For the eyes For the ears Keeps it live up in here For da eyes for the ears
"Now This Is What I'm Talking About Dancing, Having Fun, and Enjoying Life. May God Continue To Bless Yall Covered By The Blood Of Jesus At All Times Much Love and Respect."
I am looking at this and I am wondering just how beautiful God created us. It's when unhealed emotions and the devil begin to teach us what hatred is that everything is thrown off balance. God bless these guys
Yeh I'd rather see them come together on the street rather then on a bid or train to school. All young black America do is try dance, or rap... The rest is hard work. They all have shoes and nice clothes. Street clean with no holes in roof. But aye they have it worse then real Africa. Try harder!
I love it! It's incredible to see how different regions put their spin on what is basically Hip-Hop. Super talented. TN. STAND UP! Much love from the DMV.
We were dancing like this before hip hop. This started in COGIC churches that originated in the mid south area that's very big in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi. People started dancing to rap music later on. Hip hop had very little influence in our region until the late 90s because our parents banned all rap music movies in the house 😂😂😂
It's cool how different regions and generations have different names for similar dances. Back in the 90s on the House Music scene, Detroit called it Jittin. Keep up the wave. 💥💥💥💥💥
I'm born and raised Detroit 313 and I jitt still today. The moves can be combined but its not the same dance. The ticking is though. Footwork kinda not really but can be implemented. This here is crazy those guys are sick on gang. Big creativity and skill. Didn't see any drops though.. ground work.
i looked up vidoes of detorit jittin its completely different to jookin. jittin looked more similar to chicago or new york style dancing. If you think jittin looks similar to this you just don't know what you're seeing
@@yodaddyknow490 i watched some jittin when i popped up in my feed one time but they really diff dances based on diff city culture and the music that was popular when it came around... you cant jitt to memphis phonk and you cant jook to detroit sound... there is an entire genre of music that almost helps you dance the right way, jookin is all about the pop and lock on beat combined with the complex footwork and the true OG masters of it show that here in some of their moves... especially #4 w nike shirt, the older dude with glasses and the guy with no shirt fedora hat... the way they bounce and hit dope footwork is what sets them apart its like mesmirizing FR, i can bounce and hit a few moves here and there but it takes real practice and skill to keep up the randomness and smoothness of their footwork as well as just having a swag to it all
Man I remember when I was in college in Nashville, me and the crew would travel to Memphis for a good time never disappoint. Memp Is lit . 2004 stand up!!. I can't speak on what else we got into. B street stand up!! ..
@@cilla4000 mannn listen I came down to Memphis with two breezys and still grab a few mo. And a zip of that girl , let's just say it was a good day and night.. all grown up now doe 😂 .but Memphis go hard makes downtown Nashville look like Disney land 😂😂😂😂..
Mane I wish Zeus was still alive. He would've been so turnt with this group! I love my city and the whole jookin community! One love and God bless you all!
Big thumbs up it's great to see black man dancing enjoying life and not showing guns and killing each other I'm loving this thanks my Brother's keep up the good work
Damn this epic I’m from nyc but Lol Daniel is the one I stumbled on 15 + years ago to Jookin crazy to see all the legends old and new in one video having fun this gangsta
I’m from L.A so the first time I saw something like this was in a video with Crunchy Black, but these dudes are gonna win any competition that they attend..I love being black..
We do this kinda shit effortlessly.
Word up I'm from the West too and Crunchy Black used to be going in 😂💯
✊🏾✊🏾
Thats cause Crunchy one of the Originators
Dallas was the first, then Philly, then everyone
It's crazy how the art of dancing continues to evolve incredible
We Indigenous Americans Niijis so-called black Americans always evolve it's like a never-ending creation for us.
We Niiji Americans aka so-called black Americans are always evolving we are creators of many things that benefit the whole world
Their footwork is over 9000 💯
with sneakers on at that.
Brothers started Breakdancing and pop-lockin'... now THIS!... young men, you are innovators and trend setters.
I've never seen so much gracefulness and balance while in forces in my life
Right
It's giving me anxiety because the forces are white.
crazy that forces are THE jookin shoes too
😆🤣😂💯
Lmao
Memohis jookin is one of the most visibly pleasing things in existence
I'm from Mississippi white as hell an I've done broke everything in the kitchen trying to do dis stuff. But for real I'm from the 80s. I seen the debuts of the breakdancing epidemic. Very fortunate.

That ending was cold blooded. Caught me way off guard. These folks did that damn thing.
Yeah man that ending was dope asf
A Memphis has a swag about them that makes them very eccentric and their Hustle... respect
I'm from Philly where the Wu-Tang is popping but this Jookin is just so smooth and it incorporates old school popping and breaking incredible skills everyone one there.
I just need to know the temp out there. They got all 4 seasons in one video😂😂😂they was all 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Dear Black Males
How does dancing in the street, lifting weights on TH-cam, playing with basketball balls on TH-cam, vertical jumping towards basketball ball goals on TH-cam and all this buffoonery you engage in everyday...
1. Feed you?
2. Cloth you?
3. Shelter you?
4. Address miseducation?
5. Address police genocide?
6. Address gentrification?
7. Address killing each other?
8. Address mass incarceration?
9. Address lack of wealth?
10. Address building up your communities?
11. Address black disunity?
12. Address black disorganization?
13. Address not building your own institutions and creating jobs for your people?
14. Address other groups economically controlling your communities?
Etc.

Just when you thought you’ve seen all the moves, each one got you to say, “OH SH%T.” Talent for days.
It takes so much respect for life to dance like this
Damn! As somebody who loves to dance, but is not always positive, your comment hit!

That was the most impressive, none of them did the same thing, it was all different moves
I love to see black men coming together like this. I hate to see them killing each other. Every one of their moves were unique. Go black Kings!
That’s what I noticed and dug too! No copy cat stuff all original and creative.
Most definitely🎉🎉
Yeh I'd rather see them come together on the street rather then on a bid or train to school.
All young black America do is try dance, or rap...
The rest is hard work. They all have shoes and nice clothes. Street clean with no holes in roof.
But aye they have it worse then real Africa. Try harder!
This put a smile on my face this morning Love to the Brothas’❤
