Let me say this outright... absolutely nuff respect to the legend Crazy Legs, a true innovator and pioneer in this bboy cult known as Hip Hop and to BBoy Storm who has also been doing his thing for years.
For me tho, the battle is not the highlight of this clip. The absolute winner in this clip, aside from the people of Russia, (who are taking the utmost care of the culture of hip hop, with strong support from the President himself, Vladimir Putin), is the DJ, Philadelphia's own Skeme Richards, who CRUSHES the music mix with the sounds of what a bboy battle MUST sound like to be authentic. ESPECIALLY breakin. I cant tell you how many times i've watched the incredible moves that the new generation of bboys do to some of the most out of place, uninspired music selection that holds neither the energy or the perspective that the form was developed with. In this video, Skeme gives a tutorial on what a REAL bboy battle should sound like, along with a demonstration on the sense of timing needed to drop the records when they will have the most impact. i know the guy, have bought his mixes before, and i was still SUPER impressed by this performance. enjoy...
props to BBoy Storm who had a great night. but lets be real, if this was '83.... well, YOU know...
