i am Aten! I saw an old pic of Buck 4 and it said “Turtle Master” on his shirt. In the video for Uprock, when he raps, Buck 4 calls himself the Turtle Master. But you’re right tho. Here in Philly, we called it the “crab”. I always thought it looked like a scorpion lol.
Bucky was fierce with his turtle aka Crab Walk. I practiced for hours to get it down , I was pretty quick , but no where as fast as Buck. RIP Gabriel Marcano aka Buck 4
Buck 4 did Breaking stuntman on a after school movie special called “The Pilot.” He was breaking for a Puerto Rican tomboy girl. That would break with a pilot suit & helmet on! CLASSIC THROWBACK it’s on CZcams💯 RIP tu’ papa🙏🏽
This is why BBoying was so important back in the day. All these amazing BBoys woulda been hustlers, murders, and drug addicts, but the dance saved many of them... The South Bronx looks like A Nuke hit it.. RIP Buck 4
Yea that's why I don't understand why Buck 4 went from breakin to hustlin, he had pretty good talent, but then exchanged it for hustlin of all things 🤔
@@misterabel_9017 You have to remember ,these guys were young when the Breaksploitation era was going on ,and when it all ended....so did the fame and little money they were getting. Buck's brother was a drug dealer making money ,so it was natural for him to get involved along with Crazy Legs and Kuriaki. They got sucked into the streets of the Crack era.
BUCKYS WIFE SHE DATED THE GUY THAT KILLED BUCKY SHES A MONSTER ..HIS DAUGHTER WAS SCREAMING MOMMY DADDDY IS SCREAMING AND WHAT THE MOTHER DID SHE TURN UP THE STEREO SO NOBODY COULDED HEAR BUCKY SCREAMING AND GETTING KILLED.. THIS WAS HORRIBLE RIP BUCKY
To learn more about Kuriaki's and Buck 4's deaths people should seek out news articles that were written about their deaths. Most libraries and even the internet have old news articles you can read.
+Roberto Torres I haven't looked myself but you may contact your local library and ask how you can find any news articles on someone who was killed years back. Just know the person's real name.
@@39Hundred Met him and hung out, partied with him and had a long chat with him when I met him with the full line up of rsc in London in 84 and found him the most humble, nicest guy to speak to out of the crew and I spoke to them all, not taking anything away from the others but he really gave me his full attention and was a pleasure to be around, a really nice guy and to see him dance right next to me in the flesh and to see that turtle the same year he done it in beat street right in front of my eyes and seemed even faster, everything he done was so fast and smooth that day, He was a really easy going guy to be around yet a beast on the floor! What a pleasure it was to meet him. Remember it like yesterday, still the best memory of my bboy years. I felt all what I said above before I heard of him passing and when I heard I was shocked and very saddened that something could have happened that dark to such a nice guy R I P
@@TheOriginalChill yea it shocks me too, that's why I wish they could do a deeper document about him because its just weird that he went from breakin to hustlin...
@@misterabel_9017Yeah both different things, one being so negative and one so positive comparing the two but unfortunately both are to do with the streets, crews and gangs almost meaning the same thing, when it comes to loyalty and pressure to be there for others, sometimes doing things because you feel you should do rather than just want to do, if that all makes sense, both street activities that made it to other platforms. Yet saying all that, I am just comparing the two. I have no idea what really happened leading to the tragic ending to Buck4, I have no idea of his involvement with hustlin', I just wanted to air that he came across as a really nice and genuine guy and it's very sad to think of what happened to him. R.I.P.
@@pedrovargas500 turned him in to his enemies or they actually killed him? Kuriaki I heard was shot. i also heard buck 4was killed Vietnam style, they cut off his balls and put it in his mouth.. scary shit
There will never be a documentary about these two guys and what happened, too messy of a story. I know the whole thing. Let's just say if you don't know the real story, you'll be quite shocked about the retaliation. BTW Jerry Alvarez AKA OzRock (Topmaster Crew) from Providence Rhode Island was also very close to these guys featured in this clip.
@THE 911 GT3 LIFE long story short Kuriaki's people had Bucky offed, thats why. the retaliation was then orchestrated by Bucks people who legs was running with!!
Well, the drug game is one thing but what I would wanna is why Buck 4 and Kuriaki, of all things, decided to get into the life of hustlin? that's anotha thing that don't make sense.
@@misterabel_9017 because Bucks brother was a huge dealer at the time who waa well feared and respected, he controlled the entire block of Crotona Ave and since Bucky and Kuriaki were partners they decided to go in together
@@DJLeggs401 ey preciate you answerin me bruh I kno itz a sensative, dat one had me curious for awhile, it was hard to believe dat buck and kuriaki ha gotten involved with dat kinda life..but it makes a little more sense, family has a major part in our livez with what we get involved wit.
There is a specific reason why legs never talks about Kuriakis death and only bucks. I won't even get into it online I'm good friends with bucks sister. And from a few other direct sources namely my mentor Frosty Freeze I was told some things, I know the reasons why all of this happened. Very messy thing. However there is a reason why legs never mentions about kuriakis death and if it is talked about it could damage some credibility let me leave it at that..
@D PizWord brother! Kuriaki was living in I believe Mount Vernon at the time. He was ran up on while with his family about to walk into his house and killed in front of them. He tried to hand the baby over and run but it was too late. (His son who was a baby at the time) and wife or girlfriend. LORENZO SOTO
@D Piz you could be right brother since you're from out there. I was told Mount Vernon. Whatever the case the story is true. An unfortunate one. My sources are first-hand close friends of his as I've spent a lot of time throughout the years around these guys in the 90s as a teen. Just goes to show what happens when you get involved with drugs and illegal activity unfortunately. Bucks Brother is now home as of the past year. Also to note: Rocksteady anniversary which started in 92 was always originally about Bucky and not Lorenzo, or Kippy Dee who also I passed in 1990 due to getting his chain robbed in Brooklyn. And now that Frosty and David Martinez (Take One) are gone, all of these guys should be commemorated equally. When I get to means someday, I'm going to start doing Frosty Freeze jams in New York in his memory because he was my best friend and mentor and that guy deserves a lot. The third guy in this video is Oz Rock (Top Master Crew). Originally from here Providence Rhode Island and spend a lot of time between New York and Florida. He also passed away about 7 years ago I know his daughter. He was a connection between NYC and RI before he ultimately moved out to Cali and then settled in Florida in his later years.
One of the BEST breakers ever. Beck 4 =GOAT
BECK 4 lives forever.
There really needs to be a Rock Steady Crew movie
For real. They been due a full feature documentary
REST IN PEACE TO A LEGENDARY DANCER.🙏
Buck4 was one of the great pioneers. We won't forget him. He's a legend.
word
Right on
RIP... after all these years, I still have yet to see anyone pull off his signature spinning turtle move better than him.
DJ GaFFLe i can't lie i probably was the one
@Justin Rios yeah but Buck 4 did it best☝
It was called "the crap walk" and yes he was supernatural with it.
Aslaam Mahdi Show and prove.
@@iamaten2719 The two well known names for that move are the Turtle and the float....
Yea a RSC Movie with The Incredible New York City Breakers serving them up like always just keeping it Real 💯
what a time to be alive
No one can yet do turtles as good as Buck4...dude was amazing performer.. RIP
Miss this guy. Buck4 the turtle master.
Justin Rios correct...but eventually buck 4 became better at it...but still power per was and is no joke....2 legends.
I thought it was called the "crabwalk." I never heard that term before. But I could be wrong.

Pex is my boy
The thing that seems so strange is that Crazy Legs always pays tribute to Buck 4 but never mentions Kuriaki.
Ikr
There's some sort of rumor that crazy legs kinda had something to do with Kuriaki's death, its what I keep reading in all sorts of comments..
Very true. Interesting
@@misterabel_9017 You read that.... but you weren't there!
Never ever perpetuate hear say.
Godbless.
Crazy Legs ia a rat
Rest in peace Buck 4 ❤ turtle master legend ❤👏💪
Rock On!!! Much respect for the Korean B Boys and Girls for recognizing legends!!!

Wow....the way crazy legs jus powered thru that conversation about buck4 shows how much it hurt him....R.I.P. fam
Maaaaan! R.I.P Buch 4 dude had the best turtle walk ever. I have yet to see anyone match his style and speed.
Rip buck 4 you brought us kids lots of happiness a true turtle master
Bucky was fierce with his turtle aka Crab Walk. I practiced for hours to get it down , I was pretty quick , but no where as fast as Buck. RIP Gabriel Marcano aka Buck 4

@@suntzu05 not too savvy with that. Just type in “breakdance special The Pilot” And it should pop up👍🏽
@@suntzu05 type in “The Pilot Movie” and it’ll pop right up.
It is my favorite character in Rock Steady Crew
RIP One of the Greats . He will be missed .
I practiced that turtle walk to death after seeing him do it in beat street. His own brother had him killed...sick. RIP Gabriel Mercado aka Buck 4
Damn, really? That's messed up. Why did his brother do that?
his own brother? no fkn way? that's fucked up yo
He wasn't killed by his brother , but his brother's reputation of doing shady shit in the streets had Bucky killed.
PLEASE DO A TRIBUTE FOR B-BOY TAKE ONE...REST IN LOVE..DAVID MARTINEZ MY DUDE!
Sean G. POAM whats up
Has RSC FORGOTTON ABOUT KURIAKI . ,?? R.I.P ....
PEACE
I only learned how to turtle because of BUCK4 after I saw him in beat street
BUCK 4 represented a great moment in time . The 1980's BREAK DANCING ERA,
& he contributed to the culture a great deal 100%
CRAZY LEGS NEED 2 DO A DOCUMENTRY MOVIE ON THE BIG SCREEN ABOUT RSC

When did he die?
I think he died in 1991
In 1991

Why was he killed and who killed he?
@D Piz that's very sad i also lost many childhood friends because of this damn drug
Holy shit this dude was badass!
