The Freshest Kids Page #8

Now these guys are like spinning up in the air, masturbating and like you know

Catching their semen in their air, and then like, going back down

Radiotron, it's like the dopest sh*t around!

The Radiotron, Ceaser just went haywire with it!

He just blew up! I mean, he went all out..

Cuz you know, he was always a strong Bboy man

So he went out there and he said he was going to put it together

Me bringing Radiotron, I think I'm giving another outlet for the young generations

To get down, you know what I'm saying

It's more like, now you get creative with it!

We the OGs, were the ones who came out with a lot of the moves

I think that now it's our job as OGs to like maintain the movement how it really was back in the days..

And let the new generation take it to another level

Stylelements came about in 1995 with 2 crews that kind of united together

They were people from Stockon, Modesto, Sacramento and San Jose

We know the background to this dance

I mean I go and do research with the originals, I've been on tour with a lot of the originals

From New York, you know what I'm saying, from the Bronx

You know, Wiggles, Ken Swift you know what I'm saying, Fabel

And I learned, cuz I'm a student! And I'm always going to be a student

It's been going on since 1991, the Rock Steady Anniversary

Buck 4 had passed away, right Buck 4 is my best friend so

I wanted to keep his name alive as well as RaSean,

LiL Edgar, Shy 147 and all the members of Rock Steady that have passed away

When we had our first Rock Steady Anniversary, you know, in the park

Our first official outdoor, that really got me back into it

You know, when I met people like Easy Roc, Gremlin and the Japanese guys

You know, that really just got me hype

We're on another mission, from here to the end of New York City

We're on the subway right now, I feel like i'm in Beat Street..

Rock Steady Anniversary, I just went to pay respects and just to have fun

And when I sat and listened to what they were saying, I understood more about myself

I actually listened to what they were saying, why I had my mentalities the way I did

Why my drive inside was the way it was

What brought me to New York..

I like what's going on now, and I hope that this can continue, every year..

If I be here, everyone's gonna say "It's my turn!"

Battling. Hip Hop wouldn't be where it was today if it wasn't for battling!

The whole thing was to "burn" your opponent

If you wanted to battle, the guy had to respect you!

The battling aspect, I mean that's what makes it fun!

It also helps the males to get off some of that testosterone!

Cuz if not, somebody might be hitting somebody up side their head!

If a person cannot handle themselves in a battle,

They don't deserve to call themselves a Bboy

That made the next guy better than the next, and the next, and the next and the next..

And it became rediculous!

Now, that's how the dancing got amazing,

Self challenge really, when you really look into it, it's a challenge of well you're going to do under pressure

It was the competitive spirit of this whole culture that made it excel

I'm everywhere, I'm at every jam. You won't be at a jam without seeing me!

Everybody is the next! What's next?! Radiotron next! This event, next! What's next?!

Hip Hop is, out of all things, it's very important to maintain individuality

There's a lot of times when you see a bunch of heads dancing..

But, the one's that you wrote, you will remember, the one's that may have bitten the move..

But, when they bite that move, they advanced and took it to a different level, and made it their own move..

I got pretty mad about the fall out with the tagging and you know

If you guys want to see the venue shut down, go ahead and have it being tagged

If you want it to split, go out and harm, that's with ease, it's up to you

It's just that traditionally, we are not gonna have people being responsible yo

Which means, don't egg on the venue!

Just step back! STEP BACK! STEP BACK!

Music man! Love!

It got out of control once we were told that we needed to move out, or we would all be arrested

The cops are getting out of control

What's going on? We are dancing, all this over dancing!

Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy! Crazy!...

Get out! Get out of here! Move!

"Peacful Unity Through Hip Hop"

"F*** Cops!"

Even when I was doing my videos, the company was like

"Umm, we don't need that, we don't want that in the video"

They wanted to put a bunch of girls behind me, and they were forgetting about the true essence of Hip Hop

So when I seen, KRS-One bringing it back I was like, "Yo, Hip Hop is back! The culture is back in full effect"

So what do I do, I say "Okay, you know what? I'm not going to say f*** y'all"

Let me give you Puffy, let me give you the girls singing in the chorus, let me give you all this sh*t because that's what y'all want!

Then when I flashed the video, we showed them these breakers...

Let me show you this graff room quick, "Boom!"

And when you show it, they go "Oh! Sh*t! Oh that sh*t's hot! Oh that sh*t's hot!"

Then they go "How successful is it?"

Is it go? Does everyone else feel the way I feel?! "Yeah, KRS is go" Oh sh*t it's dope!

Now all the videos have got breaking, but we knew this, we all sat around we said

"Yo! After we do this everyone is gonna want to put breakers in their videos again.."

I think Lex has done his part to keep that viberant, even in videos like Wyclef's video "Staying Alive"

Where we have, you know, the original members of Rock Steady

And you have kids who have been Popping or Bboying for a long time in New York in the video..

I incorporate Bboying as far as the kids are considered, anything with Bboying that makes you just

Wear the hat, the oldschool bookbags on the back of your back, you know what I'm saying

Sagging your sh*t, that's Bboying all the way down to Breaking on to Popping and Locking

Bboying didn't disappear, it's bigger than it ever was!

It's just that they're underground

There's kids doing this now, and a whole new generation of kids that, they aren't even supposed to be in to this!

And overseas too!

I'm having a lot of fun here at the Rock Steady Anniversary

This is like very cool, it's very different to Europe, the circles, they are different to Germany like..

In Germany there's a lot of gymnastics and gymnasts, and here they do more crowd pleasing stuff, and I love that!

When I go back to Germany, I will practice a lot of that crowd pleasing stuff

It's so cool in the circle people go "Yeah! Yeah!" all the time, I love it!

When we throw our Rock Steady thing, it's not only for the neighborhood, it's international

You know you have Paris breakers, people from London, Italy, even guys from Denmark

It's just opened my eyes as to like say "Welcome to the family of Bboys"

There's a meeting that happened in 1987

Afrika Bambaataa had a round table discussion, and he said to all of us, he said

"You know, the humanness in Hip Hop, and how it shouldn't remain a Black thing, a Latino thing.."
