I never get tired of watching Beat Street, i'm 47 years old i wear adidas and nike but i also have 4 pairs of those type Puma "Clyde" shoes worn in the movie, i wear them with pride too, i love Beat Street....
Brooklyn girl remembering, The Roxy, The Tunnel, Union Square, The Rooftop - all the B-Girl/Boy Places I still have my sheepskin coat from back in the day - the original brown and I still wear it cause it still fits!
This was my life and my passion..I dress the part and live the part..I'm a original Boricua Bronx/ Puerto Rico dancer..I used to go to Newyork on the summer and go back to Puerto Rico to show off the new moves every time..I love this so much that I still dress like that still.
Beat Street was the best true hip hop movie, Wildstyle was a close second. This is how beefs were settled back in the day, on the dance floor or on the mic.
@@cron205 WildStyle came out in 1982, Beat Street later in 1984.. WildStyle more authentic, Beat Street had that Hollywood treatment. But still a great movie
Dogs And Yoga for real..so many of us are passing away now..but we only in the upper 40s and down 50s..well I almost got jack with the crack but thanks God he save me.
Word on the street was Legs gave up Lorenzo Soto's (Kuriaki) location to a bad guy, that he was in mt Vernon....and he was whacked....possibly buck 4s brother, if you dig deep you'll find it, Legs will not speak of kuriakis death, ever
This scene was my favorite part of the movie Beat Street. It taught me how important the best crews of break dancers contributed to Hip Hop. These guys are break dancer legends. They are my Hip Hop Heros of the culture. 💐 💐
DJaySplitSecond I also was around the Bronx around the time of filming but I was to Young to go to clubs. But I was there in the middle of this all with my Lee pants LeTigré shirt and pumas and gazels.
Edgardo Soto word, me and my sister got in last minute because the casting lady liked what we had on lol we had on matching red Lee suits too bad we didn’t get camera time lol
Today’s breakers are good but what’s missing is the chosen uniform of each crew, back in the day you could stand in a club and literally identify each crew from the tracksuit they wore and when a group routine was busted it made it look even better by the unified look but nowadays that’s totally lost...each crew member where what the want and even they’re absolutely fantastic the look and vibe isn’t there at all
It's all mainstream gentrified, full of gymnastic tricks for the rich middle class suburban kids, its lost its raw gritty ghetto thing. Too clean too polished. Another thing they took from the poor and made it their own.
I always think the same thing. A crew should wear a “uniform”. Some of these dudes these days dress like dorks and wear non-complimentary stuff to what they’re doing. Don’t get it twisted though… today’s moves totally eclipse the moves of yesteryear but that’s not a diss, it’s evolution of the dance.
@@gaffle-411 yeah because back then it was inner ciry street kids, doing it for reputation and getting girls the competition was on a street level, now it's all middle class, uni graduates nerds and geeks that do it,
@@romengoneg238 I disagree. These dudes these days have no dressing “flair” about them. They wear regular ass clothing that adds NOTHING to their performance or what they’re doing. These Puma sweatsuits and uniform hoodies in blue gave distinction to go along with the dance. I don’t recall a single modern-day b-boy competition where the clothing was at all noticeable and distinctive. The dancing is great but their look is blah…
Legs Swift and Kuriaki had to hold it down best they could!! NYC Breakers had the numbers, which is why Legs had to go THREE times. Like in 4x4 track - he was the anchor.😎
The best B Boy movie...EVER.NEW YORK CITY BREAKERS (even though Robert Taylor,who played Lee wasn’t a real member of New York City Breakers)vs ROCK STEADY CREW. I would have loved to have seen a proper battle between NEW YORK CITY BREAKERS(including ICEY ICE) & ROCK STEADY, pulling off their very best moves.You saw glimpses of some of the moves(Crazy Legs vs LiL Lep for instance),but you didn’t see enough of Ken Swift,Flip Rock or Kid Nice,and Doze dosent really do anything.RIP Kuriaki & Buck 4 of Rock steady & Glidemaster of NYC Breakers🙏
@@gaffle-411 alot of them were touring and involved in other projects, icey ice was touring with magnificent force, you can also ask why frosty freeze wasnt in beat street.. kool lady blue..rocksteady promoter/manager at the time.split the crew in half on different projects.
@@negroantonio28 That’s suspect… Icey Ice was in Beat Street but I believe he was in that last Roxy Choir scene doing his windmill flare halo thing. I don’t buy that about Frosty Freeze. What “different projects” was he doing whilst the biggest move of Rock Steady’s career was taking place with the movie Beat Street??? I think even though he was a very popular early member of the crew, his break dance prowess was lacking in this era and they felt he didn’t make the cut. Either that or he just left b-boying alone and moved on. I’ve never seen him rolling with the crew after this movie. I only saw him in a few park events in the 90’s with RCS and it was on some old recollection/memory sh-t. And Magnificent Force was in Beat Street (Burning Spear scene) and ending.

🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷☝️ pioneer of breakdancing bboys South Bronx is the birthplace of Hip-Hop, it comes to no surprise that the intermingling of Puerto Rican and West Indies along with Black styles are the main contributors to the basic Hip-Hop essence. In the 1960's the South Bronx had cumulated to neglect and social disorder.Who are the 3 pioneers of hip hop music? Several people were influential in creating hip hop. However, the most notable pioneers are DJ Kool Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, and Grandmaster Flash. These three innovators are known as the “Holy Trinity” of hip hop.
I went to see this movie in the theater during the summer of 84 'when it premiered I was 18 years old .i couldn't get the rap music ,breakdancing & graffiti spray painting culture out of my mind!
I'm 49 and still watching it. Chino had the raddest entry, but Kuriaki's routine was the best imho. Sad Buck Four and Kuriaki met with bad endings. Love is the answer, we all live again.
..Agreed!..like Crazy legs,..But Chino did the better end!..Don't matter they all Rock!!!..Just watch the battle on the bus on the way to work...The Music pumps me up!.
I think that red team is better, especially mr wave he obviously a genius....His dance shocked the world at that time..And I still can’t see anybody come close today,What a great pioneer of break dance ...
They.... or the director, I read heavily edited this battle...they should do what Stallone did with Rocky 4, and put out a directors cut of this movie. It's a classic. I definitely know they have unused scenes because I saw the trailer and read it. I remember my older brother taking me to see this in the theater...👍🏻 Good old days from long island.
I have seen a snippet of this battle that had Mr. wave come from a different angle, and shows a few seconds prior to him doing that tick and quick turnaround. I think I saved it in my TH-cam library but that was shocking. It was definitely a directors cut.
Buck got it bad too.. RIP. Never thought breaking would go places so we hustled. I remember battling legs and them by horseshoe park. We were T.U.3 (the upmost 3)
Too many variables! Remember, hip-hop didn't create anything of its own, instead it took from everything and made it its own. Every element of hip-hop exist outside of hip-hop. But the baby spades in the south bronx probably packaged it all together first.
Pretty crazy that if t wasn't for these bboys and the moves they created, hiphop culture probably would have faded and may not even be a thing right now. Definitely don't get the credit they deserve.
LIES. Kuriaki Legs and Swift dam near bodied them! People forget Legs went THREE times. Because NYC Breakers had 2 extra members. And if you count Lee corny azz - 3 extra members. So in essence it was like 8 on 5. Doze was useless in the battle. Furthermore, Frosty and Mr. Wiggles weren't present.😎

You're bugging, beefs were settled the same way back then as settled now cats were getting blasted.
@kidgrebo1 a lot of Bronx gangs became breaking crews. The culture changed for the better.
i remeber when this movie first came out...that is when hip hop was real.
RIP Kuriaki and Buck Four 00:12
Dogs And Yoga for real..so many of us are passing away now..but we only in the upper 40s and down 50s..well I almost got jack with the crack but thanks God he save me.
Sucks that they got murdered , I remember them from Rock Steady Crew,, the video( Hey you)
@D Piz yes that's correct, they fucked them up in the garage,,, RIP Kuriaki and Buck Four ...

Kuriaki the Best Dancer....R.I.P
Brought back great memories growing up as a teen in the 80s
The Good Oid Days 🔥🔥🔥
When hip hop was real the whole culture,we use to break everyday great times and memories 😃🤘

That's crazy. I wonder if there was really tension in the air, because Rock Steady and The NYC Breakers had really battled in the streets...
Wow! That's incredible to have been witness that. Absolute iconic battle.

Everyone wants their own identity. To much personality to look the same. The dance has evolved.
To much style and character.
@@romengoneg238 I disagree. These dudes these days have no dressing “flair” about them. They wear regular ass clothing that adds NOTHING to their performance or what they’re doing. These Puma sweatsuits and uniform hoodies in blue gave distinction to go along with the dance.

These are the god fathers of hip hop 79 to 2019 n beyond💯🤘
This film was actually about Puerto Ricans. and their struggles with inner-city life the best breakdancing film of all time.
Beat Street is the essence of Hip hop. Had all the elements
Even now listening to Arthur Bakers Breakers Revenge I feel adrenaline, did so many flyers to that track. Hip Hop anthem
Breakin movie is good too! It's still break dance. Except for Legs. He's a snake! He's the plot for the murder of Kuriaki! R.I.P homie!
I grew up in the 80s went to i. S. 44 on 77 Columbus love watching Beat Street cause is a part of my culture the 80s was the best
still the greatest battle scene of all time
Looove that song!
Ramos burner said " if art is crime may God forgive me "...that's fresh!!

Legs Swift and Kuriaki had to hold it down best they could!! NYC Breakers had the numbers, which is why Legs had to go THREE times. Like in 4x4 track - he was the anchor.😎
RIP BUCK 4,HIS DANCE MOVE THERE WAS THE BEST, RIP 😥😦😧
for sure!! that battle was done after that turtle! IMO
Watched this in the theater when it came out.
The 80s breakers are the Kings the other are simple dancers atte: the new York city breakers
I disagree the battle in Columbus circle.❤
