Something about break dancing in the 2005-2012 scene was just.... crazy! I really enjoyed it!
Focus and Born was on fire 🔥 love and respect to these legends ❤️
Physix what the hell !!!!
0:34 Definitely agree about the first point. Of my top 5 battles I've seen only 2 (Yasmin and Miju vs. Ayu and Ami; American all-stars vs. Japan all-stars) made it to CZcams. The others were nuts battles that I saw at clubs after events (Korean all-stars vs. Lil Jon, Remind and Moy; Moy vs. Legacy; Ronnie vs. LamaROC) and most people don't even know that they happened.
legendary rivers born❤️⭐️
This was so dope! Thank you!!
OG born! Damn, I remember watching him for the first time back in 05... his style is just so classy and G with it!
I love these stories. What you said about the "harsh style of battling" reminded me of 2007 when I was in Bulgaria and there were some bboys in one of the restaurants that we visited. I asked them if it was cool if I could throw some sets with them and it quickly turned into battle with one of them. It all ended with good feelings but a friend of mine asked me a little bit later "why were you so angry with each other?". It was just the way it was. I know that there was no beef but when you battle, it may look like we are actually having an argument. But in the end, we are all friends!
thanks for this video man!!
dude you were a legend. same as born. i remember thinking you had one of the crispest cleanest footwork, flow, style, and freezes. that was an awesome recap. used to download your clips and save em pre youtube days hahaha (same with many bboys from that early early 2000s era).
Big shoutout from S.Korea. I was really shocked by your crazy footwork in hip obsession 2010. love that style and atmosphere. thanx Focus!!
You nailed it. Todays battles have such a friendly sporty approach to it. Kinda makes the whole thing less intense and the dancers less invested in the battles..
Born!!!
Got smoked 💨💨💨!!!
Dope story,fresh footage🔥🔥😅
we love and respect focus bro!
Thank you for sharing and respect Focus and Flow Mo. Maybe in later episodes, it would be amazing if you can share some bboys, bgirls or crews that deeply impressed Flow Mo in the cypher? I think it would be a good way to show some respect to dancers who are underrated or never got shine of big events :)
Awesome storytelling!! I think your battle vs Luigi and teknique was what made you legendary for me. That night you danced like you were possessed! Cheers.
That physicx is so physicx
One thing is for sure, Focus and Born are legends, Focus your style is out of this world !!!
respect bro 💯
All that moves on the concrete🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice contribution!
That conversation cypher was str8 🔥
I Love breaking Source
Isn't she BGirl Crazy Grandma from Planet BBoy movie in the right corner.. 😍👌👌👌
History!!!!
Real knowledge 🎉That’s hip hop ❤
You guys must have really friendly scenes if this was a disrespectful battle. I think you guys kept it respectful and bboy.
very nice
Always heard about this battle, but never saw it.
Very good,.Remind me of the way Battle Squad would cypher round's,I thk Korea is good on defensive,But when Born's homie want to jump in,I Notice somethin was worrying.Round 3 tell's the tale.
This is real bboying, not the judge system bboy competition shit. NO JUDGES just cypher!! NO rules!!!!
I think that you bboy focus are good person and good bboy. Im your Korean fan.
bck in the days, to many bboys are calling out born. Thts like battling born is ur exam On How your bboy Level are..
Holy smokes...!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What's interesting about this video is that the famous Bboy channel Koreanroc actually uploaded this a few days ago. In it the entire cypher battle. And just a couple of days ago, he also uploaded the Rivers vs Flow Mo battle where both you and Born had an exchange once again. I'm not sure which came first but what I do know is that I along with others had you winning both the cypher battle ( by far ) and the crew exchange.
The crew battle, exchange was where I had you even with you winning the first, second being a tie, Born taking the third and you winning the fourth and final exchange. Which also gave Flow Mo the victory.
As much of a foundation Bboy as Born may be, this is the second time someone with a name ( like yourself ) actually dusts him. Casper did that man dirty in both cypher encounters.
He's good in crew battles and maybe even in organized 1v1 but he's been taken to the cleaners already twice. Mind you, I never even knew you both actually battled.
That being said, my former partner and I used to frequent a local lounge here in Hollywood where many Bboys used to cypher to funk amongst other type of records. A lot of well known heads used to go there too ! One particular night my partner was throwing cypher rounds while I observed. I thought he was actually battling while other heads involved in the scene watched. Turns out the guy he almost got into a battle with was Born. I didn't even recognize him nor did I even know what he looked like. But before my boy told me who he was, Born was killing the beats. I honestly thought he was just another Bboy riding the wave trying to synch his moves to every break, lyrics since the scene in LA at that time was filled with many Concrete Allstars who were also part of MZK. Those Chuck Taylor, wearing individuals were everywhere.
Respect from Los Angeles

Had to be Funky Soul in Echo Park.
5:41 That shit was dope. You're honestly too nice focus lol battles back then and prior were more like "F those mf's, time to smoke" haha
I need to know that music!!! 😩
bring it back or do it now
Focus very nice
Traductor a español
that shit is nasty !
Dizamnit,,Foc Took flashy guy too the limit,U out Korean moved the Korean move guyBorn lost plain and simple.When u walk away from the battle,U lose.Doesnt matter how good u think u are,Show respect not ego.That's it.No B.S. about it.
He didn't just walk away but he lost every round in the exchange. I never understood the hype behind Born. He's so generic to me. Casper killed him even worse
@@MacMac1313 bboy born is generic?! He has such amazing footwork and style. He's damn near perfect in the sense of dancing. Who do you consider better bboys?
@@MacMac1313 Are we watching the same guy?!? His third round here was full of unique footwork flavas and techniques.
Physix made whatever happened before his round all meaningless lol
