The art of breakdancing spans over 40 years, originating in the Bronx area of New York City. Breaking the Beat In The Bronx takes us back to the birthplace of this hip hop dance movement, to the exact neighbourhood where b-boys used to battle, a distraction from the gang way of life that ruled the day.
Join Emmanuel Rodriguez aka E-Man as he explores the roots of breaking, led by the legendary Alien Ness. They travel through the blocks where it all began and also to the training spot of the Mighty Zulu Kingz, one of the first ever breakdance crews from the Bronx.
Experience the world of Red Bull like you have never seen it before. Music, dance, and culture collide to form the Red Bull Music channel.

51 years old I'm still breaking... respect to all first generation breakers
Careful, I’m 45 and breaking means breaking a bone now
what up youngster ? im 60.....from the Caribbean 70's & the Bronx ,,,,
So much knowledge. Hip Hop culture forever ♾️
Wonder if they interviewed Black Spades/ baby spade "Charlie Rock" Original Zulu king bboy 1975-78
this is real talk from Ness, and is proper exposure for Hip Hop culture about four decades now.
keep it real Nest is real but i know all those crews he's mentioned & go even deeper ,,,then again im from the Bx 70's go figure.
I'm glad that Ness recognizes that Hip Hop started with the DJ. One of the greatest mobile DJs was Grand Master John Flowers. He was the 1st Grand Master.
He used two turntables and was one of the first DJs to mix records.
He travelled all over the city, including the Bronx. It would be hard to believe that he didn't inspire the Bronx DJs.
TBC
Nest its a mid 80's bboy he knows zero nada about late 70's ,,,so whyt wouyld he tell you about the origin of bboys except hear says.,..
Oh how I wish wish people liked black people as much as they like the things that black people create.
Joey Youn I know right.
@Matt Beeman Expect those street gangs
Matt Beeman you’re acting as if the hells angels and other racist white gangs don’t exist
Are blacks similarly grateful to non-blacks when they use something created by a person of different race?
Last time I checked blacks dominate in hate crimes against other races than other way around. Plus Breakdancing was a collected effort with Latinos and Hispanics too. Only made possible in USA, highly doubt back in Africa you could have come up with anything meaningful.
Couldn't even come up with a wheel.

Don't get it twisted, 90% of what you are seeing in breakdancing was created by Puerto Ricans/latinos/Hispanics.
I was just literally watching the "Friday to Sunday" music video by Justice Crew! Today, I randomly decided to learn about the history of Break dance and clicked on this, not knowing E-man was in this! 🤣
Lil Wayne.... 2chains....Nahhh. This is REAL Hiphop. Where hiphop began and paved the way for the culture to this day, and way to many people forget that. Respect to Alien ness and the rest of the Zulu.
yes bro!
Lil Wayne and 2 Chains suck soooo fucking bad!!!
As an original UK Breaker, These guys influenced us greatly. The Turtle at 3:43 was one of my speciality moves. I have old school footage on my channel from the 80's, 90's and 2000's, of me and my friends busting moves and in a break dance battle, check them out.
Respect, peace and love. B-Boys will always be boys!!
Do you still bust a move from time to time?
Whenever you dance, just know a black person created that. Black people are real kings. Hate it or love it.
It's like martial arts, practice create your own free style and history.....
Aka.. make it your own!;)
@jam brown yeah right
@jam brown exactly bro. Def started wit black folks
Capoeira
You picked the right brotha to interview about BBoying and Hip-hop. Everything Alien Ness stated is 100% on point. However, there is another cat you should interview that has a memory like AI lol and that brotha is Trac2. There is so much more to learn about the beginning that Ness in that interview just scratched the surface. I enjoyed that interview it was very well done.
Peace One,
Rip7 RSC-TBB
Awesome man!!
Wished they talk about we’re they got it from
90% of what you seeing in breakdancing was created by Puerto Ricans/latinos/Hispanics.
Black Americans
His knowledge of hip hip is on point, He mentioned the floor masters, The Floor Masters, where the big dogs. The floor masters had the best styles and prettiest ladies, and among the crews he mentioned the f.m.d,s where the best. But the best crew in N.Y.C. at that time was The Body Mechanics. I started to top-rockin in 1976, then the Lockers , popping and breaking was introduced to me by ,5 in a crew. Then rappers delight was released. And hip hop took off.
Nice Documentary. Respects to the Ness! I love the feel of the 2nd Park. If I was there, that would probly where I would have got down the most.
With all due respect. I thought the 1st B-Boy Crew was Star Child L Rock and Trac 2 along with Spy was one of the first few bboys. Ness was second generation -The prodical son. I started with DMC B-BOY FOUNDATION. It was there where I learned of Trac 2, Fever 1, Mr. Freez, and saw Ness at the end. I made the pilgrimage to New York yeahs ago. It is a must do experience. Love the unity and love out there.
Great video 🙌🏼
The gang meeting at the boys club that Alien Ness addressed actually happened in 1971
that's cause nest its making it out stories he heard from others ,,
i chose to study the history of b-boying for a project in school right now and damn this helps a lot. I wish i could breakdance so bad but i have no where to practice
As a Bboy myself I can tell you I beat breakdancers just by popping and shaking.Breakin isn’t everything there’s poppin lock-in shaking ticking etc.Its not like the good ole days .Back then it was fun now it’s all about competitions and arrogance and money .To me it was about spirit and love.
Poping was popular in Philly! About the same time in New York
오 예 😀👍🏽✨
My old Livingroom POE PARK. THE HOME OF H.B.O

🌟
Tss no manches jajaja algún dia yegare a eso
Hype
Everybody knows that breaking started in Bronxdale by the Black Spades.
TheRogerG Bull shit! black spades my ass!Why we see like 90% of the dancers are boriquas in all these old videos? Stop the hatred. I was there! Just look at a Puerto Rican music called controvercia. You will see two men battle with rhymes and metaphores. as far back as when video recorders existed. Shit even Africa bunbottom admitted it when he said even romans did it.
@@thequeefers9015 The Boriquas came after the originators. Get out of your feelings. There were very little or no films for the originators. If you were there you would know.
@@thequeefers9015 Nah Black people creating Breaking and Ricans flooded the scene and swagger jacked. Culture vultures.
NEVER HEARD OF THIS CAT ALIEN NESS??? IM FROM THE BRONX GREW UP THERE.
I bought a lot of smoke in St Raymond's Park. That's not the South Bronx it's more the central but that area is still no joke.
speak to TBB members . The Bronx bboys. Speak to Batch, Aby. Zulu was involved and TBB branched to ROCKSTEADY CREW.
Fact!!! Including pluto
BX💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💪🏿💯
Everything gets ugy and ruined when money and outsiders get involved.
Shyt crazy
jam brown they like our culture but hate us it pisses me off and unfortunately black people abandoned bboying almost entirely
It wasnt just poor black people. It was Black and Latin kids, and some poor white working class white/jewish kids back then. But predominately black and latin.
Go watch Style Wars..
red bullshit one is trying buy history you want a real history come down ask the New York city breakers Incredible breakers floor masters Starchild - salsoul crazy commandos never ask rock steady or associates the my showing down the opposition cause they greedy
Yes sir. Our contributions to the world always ironically gets appropriated and the originators never recognized.
Well done ness to bad we don't have more footage from the 70s when we really did the dam thing, before the linoleum hit the floor, and you knew who the B boys were cuz they was dirty cuz they got busy baby.
Salute Giant!!!
In Europe this culture was started by some electronic hip hop groups like Bomfunk MC's, Music Instructor etc. in early 2000s and it was pretty good actually.
RedBull, please promote Breaking, Beat Boxing and Graff more! You're already doing it, but hiphop is still not as popular and accepted as it should be.
I ain't gonna front,asians are dope break dancers
I don't understand--Poe Park is not really in The South Bronx. I thought that it all originated in The South Bronx (i.e. Melrose)??? Someone please correct me if I am wrong or misunderstanding something.---------------------Ridgewood, Queens here (Right next to Bushwick, Brooklyn).
Do a youtube search for Cholly Rock.
Lesly Remy Thank You. I'll do that. Thanks again. Much appreciated.
gotcha ness
Hmmm that explains the beginning of the warriors movie. Osiris (egyptian god) was held a meeting with all the gangs in central park to stop the madness and unite.
This video is misleading. At 1:26, they made it sound like this dude (Alien Ness) was the actual original b-boy to start it all. The actual “very start” was The Ni99a Twins from what I’ve learned.
Real hip-hop! No Young Money or mumble rappers!
Freestyle also started there
It's Gymnastics NOT Breakin today...
The Gang Meeting at the Boys Club was 8. Dezember 1971 not 1973 and the first BBoy Crews started at 1975/1976 Zulu Kings BBoys to, that what i heard from cholly rock first A1 Zulu King BBoy
You guys are forgetting TBB CREW give respect
I wonder how long its took for bboy BORN to be part of Zulu king ?
4 years, Alien Ness told, during his visit to Argentina
Tute must be less cuz Alien ness probaly first met Born from IBE 2005 then in 2007 born vs casper cuz alien ness kinda want to test Born out or smth ? . then 2008 IBE Born is in MZK the mc announce that .
To general be specific ok alien Ness but I heard it started with capoera
St James Park was Never a Break Dancing Origin yall.... That was where to Cop Mesk.... Not to B-Boy.... sorry... But good Video....
Double barrel purple haze 💯
Thanks for dropping knowledge on the masses.. Everybody Check out my album The Poetic Flow 2 (Chill Hop) music on Spotify E-Styles
Is Breakin or BreakinG , with G?
Con la G bro
i challenge anyone to name at least 10 crews in nYc others that the 5 crews already known because of videos ? i bet ya'll fail the test ?
One crew...Star Child La Rock-ask Trac2
one crew from the 70's ? but how about 80's ...?@@hellahung
he really is discrediting all from rubble kings and TRACE-2 and honey Rockwell and
shit is just manifesting in a different era-crazy legs look up 1930 footage
Tbb started on 1975 alien Ness is second generation Abby and batch are most consistent
He's Not an Original Zulu King. The Original Zulu Kings were from Bronx River ONLY at First, If you wasn't from Bronx River you had to be a Shaka Zulu. And You had to try out to be a Zulu King.
If it wasnt for zulu he wouldnt be shit
yooo shill ... this is B BOY Domica im coming out in 2016 pice cant w8 battle !! this new world shod be like the hip hip burning in all of us .. kipe it real im out
Zulu nation was around before Zulu Kingz trust me I get facts all he is doing is blowing up MZK LIFESTYLE since they are actually separate from ZULU NATION
andrew aragon your wrong
This is when the Puerto ricans and Blacks were creating break dancing 🙌🇵🇷
Puertoricans WERE NOT creating break dancing. It's Black American music rooted in rebellion against the system of white supremacy
Y’all better give credit to the REAL starters.🤦🏾♀️😑🙄
They never do unless the starters are white asian or Hispanic or any other nationality or group they never give credit to black people
@@loweni7460 That's hella ignorant. Anyways. Blacks started the dance with the footwork. But, Puerto Ricans and other Hispanics are the ones that made breaking what it is today. There weren't even backspins before Ricans started doing it. Same with windmills, flares and pretty much any other acrobatic type moves, known as power moves, and that's also more or less what made hip-hop culture popular. That's why when you look at old videos of breaking and hip-hop culture being introduced to the world, 80-90% of the kids dancing were Hispanic. A lot of the reason in my opinion is because those were the 2nd generation of people that came from the islands. And dancing and music is a big part of that culture. So when it got mixed with breaking, you got what you see now. And they don't get credited at all, really. Even when you can see it on RUclips.
Basically the whole culture was created by blacks and Ricans. Before hip-hop was even a thing or a thought. It goes all the way back to the Ghetto Brothers (mainly Benjy Melendez aka yellow Benjy) and obviously others that had to participate in uniting the gangs and people of the Bronx to stop gang violence and using music to give the people a voice and a way to come together. Bam used to go to their (Ghetto Brothers) music parties, liked it and carried the message back to change the black spades to the Zulu nation. At least that's what he said.. When a lot of the violence stopped, that's when the culture really started.
Should check out the Rubble Kings documentary.
if you LISTEN TO ALL closely…GRAFFITI IS NEVER MENTIONED as foundation elements
it was only on flyers aint got shit to do with the MUSIC ……2 LEGS OF HIP HOP…….
dj & b-boy ..
when you did HIP HOP….. you aint writing unless you do the flyer you get your ass kicked …tagging or written any where close to the party…..tthey hated writing any where around expect the trains hall n walls..never seen at the party not even the smell……we cleaned up for the girlies
………it aint HIP HOP its another world we "escaped " i was writing in 1973-78 .MACE ONE .JASPER/RC131/ADD2
I lived both world deep ….KILL THE NOISE about graffiti is HIP HOP …..they sold that for cash to sell HIP HIP and made billions as a INDUSTRY not a culture……original HIP HOP 2 BREAK BEATS AND B BOYS …thats it….
THE WORLD HAS BEEN …..commercialized by the FICTION MOVIES & FAB 5 videos ..they even call them fiction movies…not real life…
WILD STYLE MOVIE /BEAT STREET / STYLE WARS FUKKED UP ALOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE GRAFFITI WORLD….
by saying its HIP HOP CULTURE………..many Pioneer writer will differ to what they started and got HIGH JACKED
go in the tunnels & trains and find HIP HOP it aint there………….it's MUSIC AND DANCE genre …..
black culture stolen and transformed ….this is what you get……HIS-STORY and MY-STERY
Hip-hop in Philly respected us writers from the Hood Emerge West Philly ATS aka Emirj the artist
Breaking did not originate in the Bronx or anywhere in the USA. It originated in Africa. Africans were doing that since the beginning. And it was bought over here from the African slaves. That's why it's so similar to capoeira. Get your facts straight and stop being white washed.
If he was apart the 1st BBoy crew why weren't they in beat street Battling rocksteady ??
What a ridiculous question
Breaking came from Kung Fu movies
It was slightly influenced by those movies but it didn’t come from it
Meh, Rock Steady still better
Lame interview
Puerto Rican make breakdance ok🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷
First b-boys were black. Puerto Ricans came later
@shwat2013 na’ puerto rican aren’t only black people
@@bxdale83 The first ones never ever envisioned 90% of what you seeing.
@@ev8318 Your comment is correct but it shouldn't undermine the history of breaking. The history of the dance need to be factually correct
@@bxdale83 Blks shouldn't undermind Prs/latino/Hispanics contribution by saying they contributed nothing. Also, blks shouldn't mislead people into thinking that all the moves that are being done today was being done by blks first.
Sup Ness Psychos house ... Burnside snd Tremont
All this new katz so called breakdancing doesn't impress me a bit... Nothing and i mean nothing will be greater than the original B-Boys of the 70s and nothing like the mighty amazing 80s!
Yo ness what up with these moyetos saying that they invented breaking .. breaking Is a derivative of rock or uprock but they pulled breaking out of a hat.... im tired of these fake lies
