legendary battle! we were all waiting for Crumbs vs Kmel, but Remind vs Kmel was just as amazing. To everyone hating on Kmel not feeling the music or being tired, you have to understand that dude is crazy tall and has over 20 years in the game. The fact that he's still breaking at this physical level is unbelievable.
+THE STEADFAST CO Besides point. The DJ didn't suck and those were good tracks that most b-boys can get down to.. Kmel specifically wanted songs he likes and the world doesn't work like that. If he really expected to get the songs he wanted, then eh should have wrote the DJ a playlist.
How does being tall have anything to do with being a prima donna when it comes to music? And K-Mel having 20 years in the game? Ok, that's cool, Remind has +5 at LEAST on that, possibly kloser to 10. Be a bboy, a real dancer, not a circus seal waiting for the right cue points. Remind wins just for stealing that round while K-Mel sat around and waited to be catered to.
Klos1neMN Yea you're right. In fact I think Remind has been breaking since the 80's. I remember him saying that in an interview, just can't remember which one. The man doesn't age.
I swear Remind is the one bboy who would not be intimidated at all by Kmel in a battle let alone take a turn from him. I hate how many people in the god damn crowd probably don't know who these cats really are and how bboying wouldn't be bboying without them, there was sooo much soul and real musicality in this battle, fight you dont see anymore today.
Haha, goddamnit. I was literally thinking last night, "It would be DOPE if I mixed my popping with my toprocks. Even doper to mix it w/ breaking..." and lo and behold, here's Remind doing just that...only a year ago. Dude's too original!
@Gomezasas no those are the only videos ill post not aloud to post mybboy videos cause of my crew were against bitting and had to manycrews bit off of us all the videos on there are old
I know he was born in the Bronx but, during the era he blew up in early 2000 he was in Florida. In Who Can Roast the Most 2001, that event's concept is a Florida guy vs. a guy from another state. In that event Kmel was the Florida guy in his exhibition against Reveal.Rainen was Cali in his exhib against Prizm (Florida). Boo Rock was Florida in his exhib against Lil Roc Cali.
Finally someone who agree's. I dance to all types of music even songs that just have vocal, i just move in time with the lyrics, but obviously my main style is Hip-Hop/Break
For those saying the beats weren't good, these are all standard beats for any bboy jam. In a battle you have to dance to whatever is played--that's just how it is. Much respect to both Remind and Kmel, though. They are both O.G.'s and not many bboys have as much raw dancing talent as either of them.
@bboysilk The music was fine. Kmel just picky. Remind is musicality and creativity too but he was able to dance to the dj's music. Anyways Kmel killed it. Props still.
@bboykiddblack Honestly though, my bad. I didn't mean to start so much controversy on a TH-cam video. I was just stating my opinion even though I may have posted it as if it was a fact. As a fellow Bboy apart of the community and peer I respectfully apologize for any mishaps that have occurred between us due to my poor judgement.
@Lzibbah You're forgetting the whole reason why we dance is because of the music. I don't know what he didn't like about the music, since most the beats were pretty classic funk and soul, but the whole point is to express yourself to the music you love.
I don't think Kmel lives in Florida now but, he was a Florida head for a while which is why he teamed up with all Florida heads for years in multiple world competitions with Rudy Goblin, Lego, Flea, and Teknyc in early 2000 as Flipside Brats.He was only born in the Bronx but, his crew Boogie Brats consisted of Canadian dudes and he was not in the Bronx during his bboy career.
some of my favorite old school bboys.i still say jazzy j takes them all lol.to all real bboy fans check this clip out " Product Of Me/Jazzy 500 "this video clip is the shit,some of the dopest power move ever seen where made by this guy.
For all you "Bboys" that don't know these peeps, look them up! Take the time to learn your history about this dance, if you don't then you're not considered a Bboy and if you're okay with doing moves and not knowing where they came from then fine, just don't call yourself a Bboy and don't affiliate yourself with the dance. Simple as that.
@HezeTfs By the way, Kmel is Zulu Kings with your boy Phantom. And Kmel is really good friends with Remind's crewmate Crumbs, and I'm pretty sure you think Crumbs is not a bboy too?? It doesn't make sense.
That doesn't make him old school, even then. You need to be reminded (pun, intended) that kids, such as Remind's age, where introduced to Hip Hop by way of the media. Remind is NOT from New York City. Get it right and exact, boy.
You do not, I repeat, DO NOT, have to be from, or ever have been to, New York, to be introduced to real hip-hop the way it was meant to be. A local jam, a underground concert, setting since great heads piecing, whatever. Yes, New York, the Bronx more specifically, is the birthplace, and no one will ever forget that. But hip hop is bigger than that. It touches a chord in the souls of some, and just seems really cool in others. But you can know a person without watching them be born, hiphop too.

that Remind 1990 was the cleanest ever wow
Thats what im sayin! Keeps that shit in the chamber for only the best like Kmel

R&B

+THE STEADFAST CO Punisher likes rock music and loves breaking to that. But you don't see him at a battle complaining when the DJ doesn't play rock.

Energy from Remind is on some cosmic shit
Remind is and always will be one of the most badass of all time...mad respect
Remind is on another level. He's "honestly expressing" himself. We can all learn something from this battle.
We're just going to ignore Casper's hella hard pose like he was about to jump in like a Capcom tag partner. lol Cameo of a young Bailrok by Nasty Ray.
Haha, goddamnit. I was literally thinking last night, "It would be DOPE if I mixed my popping with my toprocks. Even doper to mix it w/ breaking..." and lo and behold, here's Remind doing just that...only a year ago. Dude's too original!
Remind is something else! Such sick style!
Two of my biggest inspiration and yet want to do it right and Pioneer.
these two are on a level waaaayy ahead of us.... they've already been best in the world... you gotta think about what's after that.
kmel's first run is so sick :) he got mad soul.
This is true style and expression with the music. A dope battle.
dope...these guys inspired me to get into the bboyin' scene over a decade a go! And they are still killin' it!
ah good times... when people used to use cameras & handheld camcorder to record these battles
Lmfao the announcer very very end Said " I would marry and have kids with both of them!!!!! Lol!!! So much love for the old school!
Puuuuuuf.....two legends👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻
STYLE OF ELEMENTS FOR EVER BEAST OF THE DANCE FLOOR, PERFECT EXAMPLE!!!
That is definitively the greatest smack talk I've ever read on youtube, thank you
both awesome feeling for the music
all stars right here
good to see they're still skilled
Remind!!!! All Day.
Both are living legends in the game. Remind has that exceptional soul though. Very inspirational
Remind is just too good.
Remind! That dude is on some next level shit, crazy!
remind is LEGENDARY!!!!!!!!
Remind is on a more spiritual level of bboy dancing
Legendary battle vs 2 of the best ever
At one point, remind was one of the best bboys in the world. Him and crumbs as a team were unbeatable.
Remind & Crumbs are the ones that brought the physicality (sick azz combos) of B Boying to another level.
That 209 hits hard! Onelove
man crowd was dead as fuck lol....kmel did some sick shit right there
Reminds throwdown at 2:10 - 2:31 is just crazy on point!
Love both of these guys. Loads of personality in their dance. Man though, Kmel was not feeling those beats. Can't blame him though. DJ did kinda punt.
Remind was featured in the Freshest Kids, right?
Both Great!
@Gomezasas no those are the only videos ill post not aloud to post mybboy videos cause of my crew were against bitting and had to manycrews bit off of us all the videos on there are old
this is an exhibition not a competition, ppl can do wateva they want
can someone please tell me the song from abut 5:50 to 6:20? Ive been looking for it for a long time...
I know he was born in the Bronx but, during the era he blew up in early 2000 he was in Florida. In Who Can Roast the Most 2001, that event's concept is a Florida guy vs. a guy from another state. In that event Kmel was the Florida guy in his exhibition against Reveal.Rainen was Cali in his exhib against Prizm (Florida). Boo Rock was Florida in his exhib against Lil Roc Cali.
both can put a show

guy in the burgendy hat and playboy shirt behind kmel distracted me the whole battle

As a fellow Bboy apart of the community and peer I respectfully apologize for any mishaps that have occurred between us due to my poor judgement.
a great dancer should be able to move to any beat. Remind is a clear example of a great dancer
dope battle
THAT'S THE COOLEST HAT EVA''
USA bboys just have that freshness that is in them
kmel is the true definination of an all rounded bboy ,, he has the funk in him ,, he has the swag ,, know thats what i call legndary
K-mel is a legend forever after all this time he still competes
remind = filipino tribal dancing
that's some supremely old school style he's bringing back....
Both of these guys have been in the scene for a long time. I'm surprised that Kmel agreed to do an exhibition...
remind, hasnt seen this dude in forever
Legends!!!
yooo whats the 2nd track?????????
remind just reminded ppl he still got it..... big up's to remind...
@Lzibbah You're forgetting the whole reason why we dance is because of the music. I don't know what he didn't like about the music, since most the beats were pretty classic funk and soul, but the whole point is to express yourself to the music you love.
Kmel has mad style!
hard arms crossed >> CLAP CLAP >> hard arms crossed
actually remind (ariston) has been dancing since 1984!
I don't think Kmel lives in Florida now but, he was a Florida head for a while which is why he teamed up with all Florida heads for years in multiple world competitions with Rudy Goblin, Lego, Flea, and Teknyc in early 2000 as Flipside Brats.He was only born in the Bronx but, his crew Boogie Brats consisted of Canadian dudes and he was not in the Bronx during his bboy career.
@Holyfiremikey I was talking about kmel about the oldskool part.
For you n00b bboys:
Remind - Red Shorts
Kmel - Khaki Cargo Shorts

Damn that was Crazy! I was scared after the Gainer. LOL

remind is my father!...
Is this sped up
@Holyfiremikey yeah i heard him talk about that in an interview ican see why too reminds style is so off the map and unique
@riffa2000 Kmel is from the same era approximately as Remind. Kmel is not from the 1970's or early 80's bboy era, he is not old school.

god damn kmel is a fucking beast. Mad props and respect to both sides.
happy feeling - earth wind and fire

For all you "Bboys" that don't know these peeps, look them up!

Simple as that.
WHAT in the HELL is REMIND smoking cause he was off the fucking hook!!! still one of the greatest bboys ever!!!
@Holyfiremikey Kmel's in LA with Hollywood gigs
@HezeTfs By the way, Kmel is Zulu Kings with your boy Phantom. And Kmel is really good friends with Remind's crewmate Crumbs, and I'm pretty sure you think Crumbs is not a bboy too?? It doesn't make sense.

NOBODY I repeat NOBODY!!! F**kin with Kamel or Casper! The absolute best to EVER do it! In my humble opinion
You do not, I repeat, DO NOT, have to be from, or ever have been to, New York, to be introduced to real hip-hop the way it was meant to be. A local jam, a underground concert, setting since great heads piecing, whatever. Yes, New York, the Bronx more specifically, is the birthplace, and no one will ever forget that.

what crew is remind from?
kmel has dope pumas! i might have to cop me a pair
Remind is a space!

5:04 third eyyyyyyyyye vision!
i agree with krimzj..props to both guys...
chief69..F.R.C/TBB
@Bboy1161 You probably know Hong10? Hong10's main influence is Remind, Crumbs, and Reveal, but his favorite he stated is Remind.
@Holyfiremikey hell yeah bro golden day man,and F u e-Boys these guy are lengends all original breakdancen.
3:33 I didn't hear a hint of the next song. How did Remind know the next song was cued up?
