What's that? Where's your Hip Hop at?!

I don't really want it to blow up in the mainstream, I don't wanna have people, you know, in suits

Coming over here telling us, "Okay now you need to have form"

"If you can freeze, and put your toe, it'll look just a little bit better"

Nah! Man you just gotta be raw, you know what I'm saying?

There was recently a Wild Style reunion in Los Angeles

That a lot of the heads that started Wild Style, Busy Bee, Cold Crush, you know

"Waterbed" Kevie Kev and a bunch of original heads from the movie

Came out and did a little performance, and the Rock Steady Crew danced, and when the Rock Steady crew went into the audience

They was surrounded by a lot of West Coast Break Dancers, Black, White, Latino kids

From Los Angeles

And they started dropping down to the floor and doing their thing

And it was so incredible, I felt exactly the same way I did when I first saw Break Dancing

The Rock Steady Crew now, they have organized themselves, they have their politics correct, they have their business in effect

You know and they know how to articulate, direct and control this form

Which is what has brought it back to the form that it is now, it is what has made this form translate to so many cultures and people

If you make a Hip Hop Hall of Fame, Rock Steady would have to definitely be up in there

I definitely get them that honor if I could do it myself

I think that we need to let people know what's up man

I don't want people to take these dances into the next millenium so different whole vibe and feel and origins

You know I think that it's important to teach the people about where these dances came from

And how people felt, you know, so that they can take it on to the next, the next level

Where the respect, or the blood, sweat and years, that a lot of breakers have put into

To develop this whole foundation for these people to live off of now

All the Bboys all over the world, keep doing what you doing, because we're the past,

you're the future, and when we put it all together, it's the present

The cycle has begun, styles always start once, they go out of style,

Then all of a sudden, people get back to the root of things

Rock Steady is gonna be going strong, I think

I'm gonna be in a wheel chair saying "Yes, I'm Rock Steady, yeah Crazy Legs, common let's get busy!"

I wanna thank y'all for coming out

The Rock Steady Crew's 23rd Anniversary!

If y'all wanna go out there and bust out,

It's gonna be an Uprock session right now, and I want y'all to do it out there with us

Ready?!

A lot of people say like,

What we do is played out, but you don't hear that about Ballet and Modern dance

If that was the case, we wouldn't still be doing this!

Nobody would still be doing this!

If it's recognized by the President and the National Grants Institution for Dance or whatever

They can "not recognize it" for the rest of eternity

And as long as kids are still battling and still dancing, to me that's what's important

We have to eliminate all of these labels and titles and stuff

And just see it for what it is man, we are all creating art in the ghettos, you know what I'm saying

All over the world now

It's up to us to be the younger generation

Because we, right now, we are a part of a movement

We are a part of an underground, young culture movement

To me it's not a fad, it's something you can't get rid of, I mean it's always there

And it's always going to be there

Off the top of the dome, just creating!

Bboys, Bboy, any where you go, any planet in the Universe any Galaxy

I see it as such a part of the culture, that those that really wanna stay true to the culture,

They gonna always, it's always going to be Break Dancing

They don't stop the Bboys or the Bgirls

They say, "Whatever you throw at us, we gonna make our dance be known and we're gonna invade your club!"

I knew it was going to stay

I knew from the way it just all blew up from the music

You never stop dancing, it's something that's in our blood

In our blood

In our blood
