Hip Hop was our NYC sub culture. It was how we lived, dressed, danced, talked, etc.. We did not learn Hip Hop back then, we created it. Each hood had Graff. Artist, Bombers, Mc's, Rockers, DJs and Crews. "DON'T BITE" These Brothers are right.
He explained the difference between a " breaker" and a B Boy perfectly. Tons of kids can spin on their head and do flips but they don't have that " funk". The rhythm the footwork..u gotta live a certain way .. experience life and hip hop culture to get that ingrained in you.
MIND. BLOWN. Thanks Wiggs and Fabel. Especially Fabel, he really went in depth with it. I had the honor and privelage of judging a bboy battle with him, he was a cool brother, full of history and insight. All you had to do was ask. BTW, I like how Wiggles signs a blackbook while Fabel is talking, when I met them both I got both of them to sign mine along with Skeeter Rabbit.
It's probably a misunderstanding. I just found a Coke La Rock interview and it was/is ENLIGHTENING. If I had the money, I would pay for the sheer joy as teenager in the early 80s the pioneers gave to me, especially T LA ROCK.
Grand Master = this word mostly come from watching Martial Art movies also "martial art influence hiphop"... I believe Martial Art + Bruce Lee + Pop Culture = play a role too ... Planet Rock = Kraftwerk = I never knew until google exist
Mr wiggles lol ah man this doods a legend . Saw him on video at 45 poppin in europe so hes gotta be in his 50s now for sure . When i see beat street i never recognise him lol
Rsc i respect but these legends dont live how they use too. In the 90s nyc had a new mayor in town to promise to clean up nyc thats RUDY..... he wanted no graffiti, no breakin on the streets , no load stereos blasting like how it was the opposite in the 83 84 era... I had a relative came to nyc here in south bronx and he was shocked how the kids sadly today will never know the essence of REAL HIP HOP. As he was last hear in summer of 85 and remembers breakin on the streets those amazing graffiti trains. I relate even more as i grew up and saw it all. Nyc will always be the home of hiphop . In the 80s i was a kid i travelled sometines outta state to jersey lol to LA but never had that massive energy that new york had. Sad really But greatful as i witnessed it all.
Jacob Meth Urban Dictionary : www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=word+is+born RUN DMC Lyrics: www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/rundmc/wordisborn.html I was there, I was a part of the culture, "Born" was the CORRECT terminology (1980's).
+nuffflavor It's word is bond. Some have made the same mistakes. Most didn't catch it being that it sounded the same, It probably got to a point were it got changed not knowing what it was suppose to mean. The phrase "My word is bond". Was used by the 5 percent nation. Back in the early to mid 80's. Almost everybody was a G.O.D. or a 5 Percenter. If not were affiliated with one. Everyone in the hood anyway. Google rapers from 80 to 89 90 percent had GOD Body names.
Derrick Funnye' That is cool, but this video is of the Hip Hop genre and the term "Word is Born" is what was used. I have already posted (the comment before yours) that FACT that is was used. I am not debating the origin... I am stating WHAT was the term for HIP HOP.
It's "word is born"! I Hate when mofos try and correct people when they wrong asf..only time I heard word is bond was Wesley snipes in New Jack City. Never heard cats say that shit.
My boi Cowboy RIP.Shout out to all my sisters and brothers of the essence of HIP HOP!!!These brothers here set some shit straight.No doubt!!!OMG we had so much fun and Hip Hop save my life.UNITY,PEACE LOVE AND HAVING FUN!!!
That talk don’t sit ok wid me mr case !!! The real break boys was the Latino rsc and I know for a fact dat you know people dat was involved in the buck 4 snitching crew.. crazy legs yol.. you know a man who knows a man.. spit it out for the real shit.. and show buck 4 some respect.. 1991 man you know a ma dat knows a man
just liek dj'ing, kids now think they are proper dj's with their auto-temp, and sync buttons. Take all that tech away and majoity wouldn't be able to count to 4 and mix shit.
Ken Swift is looking like ... 'I don't know what the fuck these muthafucka's are talking bout' ... it's like the Hip Hop version of Spinal Tap getting bogged down into the HO situation ... lol
Mr Wiggles made some good points but is incorrect when stating Cowboy was the first to pick up a mic. Cowboy came years after Mr. Biggs, Busy Bee, and many others.
what about the nyc breakers? they were so real. i mean, of course they were the floor masters at the begining. but, then they called themselves the nyc "breakers"...

This comment is 6 years old but it’s been cemented in hip hop for almost 50 years. Peace
Boricuas has been in hip hop since day one I hear a lot of down south people act like we guest but we been hear🇵🇷
Latino were there in the beginning helping out. New York is the melting pot.
Mr. Wiggles, PopMaster Fabel, Ken Swift
This was the 90s and they were talking about the fall of Hip Hop.

Coke La Rock was hip hop first emcee.

wiggles is the preacher and has always been!
hip hop dont stop..................
very well put..
truth
The essence of true hip hop has def been twisted and diluted ever since the early 90's. The message has been lost.
just liek dj'ing, kids now think they are proper dj's with their auto-temp, and sync buttons. Take all that tech away and majoity wouldn't be able to count to 4 and mix shit.
early 90s...
real talk
legend
Puerto Rican Power 🇵🇷
Respect them for their good opinions!

Ken Swift is looking like ... 'I don't know what the fuck these muthafucka's are talking bout' ... it's like the Hip Hop version of Spinal Tap getting bogged down into the HO situation ... lol
