That battle at the Roxy was legendary
The summer of 84, I was back home in Philly when Beat Street was released...I'm so blessed to have grown up when I did and experienced the culture in a way that many of my friends didn't.
One of the best Christmas VHS rentals of all time lol I I think I was 12 or 13 back then 😊 happy times
I was 11 or 12. I wish we still rented vhs tapes. I'm 50 now and so grateful for my childhood. After that, not so much lol.
I remember like it was yesterday when the premier air in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 I was 12 and remember it vividly because the actor the RSC and the NYCB where there in the theater. They even had a linoleum lay down for after the movie they did some battle with the locals. Good memories and since that day I fell in love with HipHop.
I was 4 years old (84') when I first saw this. At that point, this was the way. Grandma's kitchen floor was never the same.
Arthur Baker is a legendary producer. Produced classics like Planet Rock, Play at Your Own Risk and Who you Stealin From
Also, John Robie and Man Parrish.
@@makeuthink2120 Yes absolutely John Robie and Man Parrish as well.
Don't forget Mark Berry. The producer behind many Hip Hop and Electro tracks in the very beginning of the 80's.
@@Maurice572 the producer of Alisha?
@@makeuthink2120 Among others.
Beat Street is my favorite hip-hop movie
Beat Street is one of my favorite movies
Saw it back in HS. Memories!
That last shot of the crew at the end should be on a poster... too hard...
"Aye yo RAMO... when you gon teach me that style!"
Practice up on it
My Era!!!
Love love love this! Beat Street is one of my favorite movies. Great historical film about some of the earlier hip hop elements. Glad to see Godrey getting fired up at the details
Robert Taylor is doing well, he’s a Facebook friend of mine. He still dances occasionally.
Dam Godfrey was hella hype lmaooooooo true fan
Even here in New Zealand the opening night screening of Beat Street was a cultural event; breakin' & hip hop hit our shores & took over our lives the year before😂. Packed house of all teens from the neighbourhoods at our local cinema & it blew us all away, first time seeing a standing ovation by youngsters at the end of the movie
That’s the hardest move in that scene…..slippin off them shoes had us all like 😮😮😮😮😮😮🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Puerto Rock Style ✊🏽Boricuas on the Set!
My favorite movie everrr 💯💯🔥🔥.
Yo, Godfrey calm down and stop interrupting when Crazy Legs is talking.
haha he fanboyed out just as bad as when Sara Jay was on lol
@@drphot6050 I hate when he thinks he knows stuff, but crazy had to put him in his place. 😆
Lmaoooooo
He does it every episode lol he doesn’t realize how his guests get so annoyed by it
Dude who the f. U. c. k. Are you? Get your own show if you wanna direct
Crazy Legs is a living legend. 💯
Living rapist...🙄
The worst bboy of the 80s kuriaki was the bease
I used to watch Beat Street every day!
Same here
Crazylegs is the Break Dancing Legend's Legend
The subway battle was hard ASF🔥
A Legend in the building and a God to Poppin’.
Beat street was a magical movie even the love song scene were amazing
1) Excited for the full interview
2) Enjoying this new format of a preview then then full deal.
3) Shoutout to your team Godfrey. There’s a new energy here, love it.
4) Your excitement and nerdish knowledge is carving a new lane where it’s cool to know shit.
Thanks!
Where is the full version?
Love the behind the scenes interviews. Wish there were more like this.
I always thought Lee was goin off. Not during the battle, but he's audition scene at the theater, he was hittin some stuff. 💯
Man God’s passion for hip hop culture is unrivaled
Even to this day, dude gives zero respect to the New York City Breakers! 👊🏽
I thought I was the only one who noticed that. Legs was acting like he didn't know Glide Master passed away in 1984, not long after Beat Street was released. He went to school with some of them but can never refer to members of NYC Breakers by their names.
lol
Kinda wack that Godfrey doesn't know about the NY city breakers or knows and didn't say anything.
Dude is arrogant asf.. he fell out with alot of his associates because of his attitude.
Born in '81
I watched that movie so many times i popped the tape.
Ken and Kuriaki tore it up!
Love the shirt Godfrey
A great film, takes me back 😎
one of the fave films of my youth for sure, would have loved to heard more about acid tripping on the set though ;)
I grew up on the other side of the tracks, not with up rockin or floor rockin or breaking or rapping, but bombing the trains! There were so many crews back in the day, I think even parents belonged to some crews back in the day.
And to think I got clowned in middle school for seeing Beat Street in the theaters instead of Breakin'. Soooooooooooooooooooooooo glad I got to see this in theaters when it dropped.
It should have been the other way around.
You from the west coast?
@@pvj2234 Nopers. I'm in the middle east ( The DMV ).
@@sinseers D.C, Maryland Virgina?
@@pvj2234 Yeppers. Baltimore MD to zone in even closer.
Along with the Fat Boy movie and Rad it was dope!
Oh shit! RAD!
What's bizarre is I woke today and watched battle cry. I thought I was tripping when I saw Godfrey had Crazy Legs on.
This interview made me subscribe. Good shit fam.
I met Baby Love of Rock Steady Crew who was in the Roxy battle. She is very sweet!
Crazy legs and kuriaki legend🎉❤
I used to look up to crazy legs and the RSC. They used to come to the rink in nj back in them days and take all the jersey bboys out. I know I was one of them. But they taught us how to be dope. Just watching them made me better.
1000 Praises Godfrey for getting one of the pioneers of hip-hop on your a platform maybe get dj Charlie Chase next🎉
WOW!!!!!!!
Dope!
Crazy Legs a Legend 🎉
Everyone watched those VHS tapes until they snapped.
The DJ analogy is exactly it. If the record skips, you gotta recover and still be on beat, which requires improvisation. Same thing with breaking, if you screw up your move, you gotta improvise and still hit the "1" on time with an improvised move, which is what Crazy Legs is saying. Dancing is just a visual melody after all. You gotta be funky and on beat just like a DJ scratch or any other musical instrument.
That is shine
Come on Katt!!😂
I really loved 'breakers revenge ' ...never mind
This was the essence of what the BBoy of Hip Hop is all about.... BEAT STREET showed everything that had to do with Hip Hop..... The battles maybe old but it doesn't get tiring to watch..... I still watch it here and there..... I didn't watch BEAT STREET or BREAKIN' & BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO in the theaters, I had to wait till it came on regular TV which BEAT STREET did come on a few times but with BREAKIN' & BREAKIN' 2, it never did come out and even many years later in the 90s BREAKIN' was not on any of the cable channels when I started to have cable TV in the 90s after moving out from my old house in the beginning of the 90s and into the new house, the old owners had cable and I didn't even know that my VCR had cable ready connection so didn't need to get a cable box to watch basic cable TV, you only need the box for PREMIUM & PAY-PER-VIEW shows..... Also I didn't have a video rental card to rent movies and even if I did, the video store didn't have the movie in there catalog since it was already old..... When I finally found a copy of the BREAKIN' I bought the DVD & I got to watch it..... As for BREAKIN' 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO, it was hard to find till they but out THE BREAKIN' DVD COLLECTION BOXSET which consist of all 3 movies and a bonus DVD consisting the Hip Hop history..... The boxset is not the original movie poster that the movie had, it was more of the rerelease of the movie in the boxset or the Anniversary cover..... THE BREAKIN' DVD COLLECTION is the one that have to do with the 4 elements that have been made into a separate picture drawings of them also they have made them into figurines collectables many years later.....
Did he say fur coat lol where is this host from??
But yeah Director Stan lathan killed it.
Yeah man that panning shot
I learned most of my moves back then from this movie
Done On Acid...Dayumn 😳
That Jacket he was wearing!!
Fire! 🔥
Also when Crazy became a b-boy in the late 1970s , Breakdancing was already much dead for a few years already. Its because of this Electro funk/Boogie jams that brought Breakdancing popular back again in 1982 thanks to Man Perish & Afr8ka Bambaataa and the rest is history!
Noiz É BRAZIL....Vem....
Wow … they edited perfect cause I never noticed it
I wish you had footage when NYC Breakers Had footage at world on wheels
They change music in movies all the time. They also still synch the dancing to the music so even if they change it it’s still in synch.
Amazing in 2024. Is there to this interview?
Lil Lep was the freshest out of all them.
Don’t get it twisted Arthur Baker did “ Looking for the perfect Beat” too 🤘🏽
Legendary Crazy Legs!!
Gotta make your rounds, kidd!!!!
That battle cry battle was also my favorite. That’s how HipHop supposed to look not this BS model that they call them self HipHop or rappers nowadays
WORD!
9:57 Anyone knows the song/instrumental?
Von Decarlo is so fineeeeeeeeeeee
Leggs what's up, it's that florida beth
SHOUTOUT TO
MICHAEL HOWELL
HE WAS SUPPOSE TO BE IN THIS MOVIE
FROM
138th st and Alexander Avenue
THAT REAL
MITCHELZ STAND UP
I really think Crazy Legs was the one in Breakin on the crutches doing the windmill with his legs all weird
PLEASE BRING ON MR WIGGLES electric boogaloo popper 💯💯
the full video was taken down :(
I remember hundreds of b-boys at the time never seen beat Street in the 90s times were different b-boying was not yet understood. Because you had to find the video tapes.
So pretty much Crazy Legs was Vince Carter before Vince Carter in the 2000 slam dunk contest!
Also, Godfrey was hype asf!!! LOL #BBoysLife #CrazyLegsTheGOAT
What's funny is they talked about that in the freshest kids. Crazy was saying the same thing!! This was when of course, they were trying to culture vulture bboyin and the whole hip hop scene. Mainstreamin was crazy back then
"Your moves ain't worth the bit, so what's up, PUNK!"
She got excited when he said coccyx.....
It means something else girl!
Beat Street is the best Hip Hop movie! Shout out to Krush Groove but Beat Street is it!
According to some hillbillies on the internet hip hop started in north carolina...🤣🤣🤣
As a fan since the day the movie was released, and as an OG first wave breaker from that era, ... learning that some of them were on LSD during the infamous battle scene makes me love and respect even so much more! HAHAAA. Some legendary shit right there, like Dock Ellis throwing a no-hitter on LSD!
Yeah that white dude Arthur Baker… only a legend in ELECTRO & HIP HOP music along with John Robie…. No AB no Beat Street.😮
Why wasn’t Mr Freeze in Beat Street?
At the time, he was kicked out of RSC by Legs. RIP Frosty Freeze.
@@seanhodges3562 wow, what did he get kicked out for ?
@monogramadikt5971 Crazy Legs said he was abusive to the other members in RSC. Legs said they reconciled before he passed away. I attached a link to Legs' interview.
czcams.com/video/SbGjMvhGIa4/video.htmlsi=po7KLQNi6_iZuNQO
Seems Crazy Legs loves to take credit for lots of things that didn't happened. That girl in the scene was Baby Love that performed with them all around & in their album hit songs "Hey You", "Uprock", etc ... Give her credit homeboy!
He talks about he didn't have his best battle members for the movie....WTF!??? In 1983 there was the greatest Breakdancing contest ever at the famous Roxy were hundres of crews perform for the grand prize of being in the movie "Beat Street". You telling me that wasn't important to the crew when that movie put you on the map!
Rock Steady wasn't supposed to be in the movie in the first place because the main winners of the contest that beat every crew was the greatest Dynamic Rockers!
Dynamic opted out of the movie for a reason (that's another story of it's own) and Rock Steady was asked to sub for them! Even the better B-Boy crew that Rock Steady battle in the movie was the amazing and powerful "Floor Masters" put previously together by the best of New York B-Boys that had to offer and 1984 became the New York City Breakers & was feared by every crew.
Rock Steady were bunk compared to the beautifully executed moves performed by the Dynamic Rockers. Even their home video recordings of Dynamic battleing Rock Steady showing Rock Steady getting beat in every battle!
Crazy says he had lots of members in the crew but you always see about 6 of them and the weakest. Seems he always wanted the one to look good in the crew!
1983's The Big Breakdancing Contest battle of 600 kick ass B-Boy crews and not one was Rock Steady 🤔 and to be honest, Rock Steady was a mediocre crew at best they just knew how to market themselves well during that time that lead to exposure world wide. Hundresds of way better crews lived dufing that time and if you deep search you will find them in contest battles in NY clubs and in rare video recordings in photos as well in those 1980s early days!
“Mediocre at best” is pretty harsh when describing the crew that brought break dancing / b-boying to the 🌎 (Flashdance, WildStyle, Style Wars, David Letterman).
I will say, the Dynamic Rockers blew it if they CHOSE not to be in this movie… They gotta be regretting that mo\/e to this day. 🌬️
Thank you for acknowledging Baby Love. He spoke about her like she was nothing.
Kool lady blue an English lady friend of Malcolm Mclaren was their manager, that's why they got so much attention & marketing she split the crew into 2 groups, giving the attention more to the 6 latinos that you always saw & the others just faded into obscurity.. NYC breakers were far superior crew.. real heavy hitters & power movers they were managed by Michael Holman
Dude is a good dancer but has way too many sexual accusations against him
I get that Godfrey is excited but damn he cuts Crazy Legs off too many times.
Van diesel is in there
Btw, aside from the topic. Doing Numbers only mean something if you really got something to say. It is like unto one man who's strength is worth ten thousand men. Thousands of views for making small talk, that only frees Godfrey vs one view for a censored heads up topic, that frees the mind of Godfrey's listener. Just saying Godfrey no man is perfect, but that dont stop that one against the world from checking it twice.
Godfrey Check on "Chingo Bling RPT". Hot topics like saucee, bik dogg.
Brake dancing started in Africa
Why wasn't mr freeze and frosty freeze in beat street.....??
I did not want to hear that about Baby Love. I looked up to her and wanted to BE her back then. 😩
I dare you to ask crazy legs about the rape allegations and how they kicked him outta rock steady crew
Heard about this. Whats the update.
@@creamfiend84 ….he got off.
love how CL just shits on mainstream "hip hop history"
5:13 … so if you were 17 and she was clearly grown, that would make her a…
Yeah but new York city breakers smoked yall.....chino, pecs...c'mon.
New York City Breakers always a step above Rock Steady
I definitely think NYC Breakers won that battle at the Roxy.
Godfrey trying to relate but he just doesn't
