We need more structure. There are way too many “jams” in our community. While we are free to do as we want when we want. We should always think about the community before our own interest or even “good intentions”. It’s great to want to do things for our community but not at the communities expense. I am no one to dictate who should or shouldn’t throw jams, its a decision one must make for… Read more

I posted this statement on my(Mex) personal Facebook page and got such a great response that I decided to share it for everyone to read: “My student is always asking questions. A major one was “Do we have to “break” a certain way in order to claim to be a bboy or bgirl?” My response went something like this: We didn’t grown up in their era or their city(most of us), we don’t talk like… Read more

We’d like to share with you these wise words from Wicked of Phase II that was posted on the instagram account WaysoftheBboy You should also follow bboy wicked on IG here: BBoyWicked

“Hip-hop has the potential to realize revolutionary social change in the world. There is such a strong sense of community rooted in the essence of our culture, but it has been lost amidst competition and fame. Until we place value on the word community, and back this value with action, we will remain this beautiful culture that undermines itself. In a cutthroat world, it is difficult to take the risk in working for the betterment… Read more

Recently, the homie Lean Rock had some strong words to say in regards to the state of music at bboy events. We’d like to share it with you in all it’s glory: Let me start off by saying this is not a subliminal diss and I’m not really trying to offend anyone. We all have the right to play whatever it is that we personally feel but I think it’s healthy to have an discussion… Read more

I’ve been wanting to write about a major problem we have in the breaking community… INDIVIDUALS WHO REFUSE TO PAY AT THE DOOR. Why is it such a problem for bboys/bgirls to support the community with their $10, $15 or $20 admission? Seriously, why? Why do some people do the best they can to sneak there way in? Why do others try to lie about being on the “list” and the worst of them all…why… Read more

Backyardfunk’s own Crazy C from Orlando,FL spoke out some truth to the young Florida breaking scene. His words extend not just to the young Florida scene, but also the younger up and coming bboys/bgirls across the USA and the world. This is what he had to say: Things the new generation BBOYS needs to WORK on, and you wonder why FLORIDA SCENE is not the Same. 1. STOP practicing with other bboys who are not… Read more

Our series of advice to the youth in our community continues. This time we are getting into the dance and explaining why the fundamentals and roots of the dance are important. We are also adding a twist to it, instead of showing you a clip of footwork steps or freezes, we are breaking down one of the most famous bboys of today. That bboy is Thesis – Knuckleheads Cali/Massive Monkees. We decided to go with… Read more

On part two of our advice to the younger generation, I (Mex) want to speak about the music on the radio and music videos online (or where the used to show them…on TV). Growing up in the 90’s and early 2000’s turning on the TV to tune into MTV or BET was not about stupid reality shows or bad music videos. Good rap (Hiphop) music was at an all time high. 2pac, WuTang, Biggie, Nas,… Read more

I (Mex) realized that many of the recent blogs have been about jams and competitions. A few days ago it kind of “hit me” that I have to keep balance. A blog should be about news and concerns in the community and not always on some “SportsCenter” reports. The jams take place on the weekends but we still have 5 weekdays to talk about/point out certain things that are affecting or concerning our community. I’ve… Read more
