- Poplocking. German tv 1981. This was part of a segment on Los Angeles culture and lifestyle that included dance, rollerskating, fitness etc.
I was born in 1971 and was taught how to Pop on the southside of Chicago by a guy from California in 1979. I still kill it for my wife and daughter at age 50.😁
Me too at 56
Legendary Shabba 'Ozone' Doo was from Chicago but moved to LA
Im hip big bro😆
@@willyglover657 y’all make instagrams . Poppin Pete got one
@@willyglover657 me to 48
Not only is the dance timeless, but so is the music. That's Cameo's Shake Your Pants. I still jam to that song these days.
Thank you!
Facts...that was a classic Cameo joint back then..i was 12
Hey, brother! Thanks for the information about the song!!👍👍👍👍👍
@@joelpaulo2279 ...not a problem my brother! Anytime!
The problem with this video is popping and locking goes better with pop/lock music.
make me want to cry, im a LA girl and venice and santa monica was the place to be. im deeply saddened how culture has been depleted. greed and vanity has taken over our communities 😔
Same, and I still dress like breaker #1, no fillers, implants, lipo, not needed if you keep your break routine (minus the headspinning, because it always hurt).
Sad but So true.
Westwood was poppin too back in the day.
A b-baller at Venice Beach. Oh, the place to be on the weekends. Thoughts of days gone by. Venice Beach will never be the same again.
Yuuuup, I'm from Compton born 1975, my uncle's an cuzzins used to do all that, AN now it's all gone. Heartbreaking
West Coast in the House I was born at John Wesley Hospital in Los Angeles in 1966 and I was raised in Carson Ca . I'm far away from home because the cost of living is a bit high but this Cali girl will return . I was born there and I will draw my last breath there 😢No place on earth comes close to the Golden Coast ❤️
The RUclips algorithm knows me better than I know myself.
Me too...I needed to see this. Warms the soul
Haha ! 😂
This was funny af
That could be a problem later....
Thecoli? 🤔
This what I remember about Venice beach in the 80's. The real poplockers boogalooing
Was Fred berry or Jeffery Daniels dancing with them too n the hood
This was the difference..
@@kingsports1113
Fred Berry aka Penguin aka Rerun was already TV star. Lots of schools in L.A. had talent shows where guys and girls would show off their pop lockin’ skills. Tops songs in 1981 were 🎵Double Dutch Bus🎵and Roger and Zapp’s 🎵Grapevine🎵song.
Yes sir.
I went to the Philippines in ‘84 and my cousins were doing it out there. They were pretty good too!
Imagine the youth wearing clothes that fit their bodies perfectly. And they looked good in 'em -- not too baggy, not too tight, and not saggy.
1981 -- an iconic year in fashion.
They hadn't graduated to looking and dressing like an extra in a Cameo video...lol. Even Cameo didn't dress like Cameo in the song's video, all really gay looking leotards...lol
True to an extent. Like casual athletic doodes wore fitted clothes that looked good and functional.But ones trying to be flashy wore that gay high hooker boot shit lol. It started even from the 70’s musicians would wear those. But then you still had gangsters with the dasy dukes and high basketball socks carrying .32 caliber pistols lol. What a time! But then I see men wear pink now and rock man purses and it is super negative intimidating.
@@urbanwarrior3470 naw see you’re looking at it through a 2022 lens. Back then it wasn’t gay. 80s fashion rules.
@@jak1oak677 Just saying that the street look in California was different than the New York etc. Early 80s in New York people walked around looking like an extra in The Warriors, MJ's Beat It video, or a Cameo video
@@urbanwarrior3470 Even then, people weren't wearing clothes like that out on the road. Probably when going out to a party, but that's it.
Black ppl/African ppl are extremely creative with the simple things that God gives. Salute!
Have you ever seen one in real life ... amazing!
@@alexrivera4598 ....
I love Black American dancing!
I know! They are GODS chosen
The wild thing is that these dances have been around since the ancestors were back on the continent. They got a few clips on here of folks breakdancing in the early 1900s.
Pop locking today have now taken to a whole new level... I still got it from the 80s.. Geraldo was a student at my high school at the time he was the only one that could pop really good back in the late 80s
he also appeared on colors..
The 2 Cali cuties at the end tho.
all slim and trim - wasnt nobody all big and obese back in those days!
@@capstonegroup2397 ppl use to move around more. Now you don’t have to leave your house
Ikr!!!
Right
The teen in the black jump suit looks like a young Michael Jackson performing to Dancing Machine. He also favors Magic Johnson when he was in high school in Lansing, Michigan.
I think that might have been Michael except the kid had on used Puma shoes.
@@paulvon2378
Of course
More like Jermaine.
@@paulvon2378
What makes you think his sneakers were used how about old!
@@bernardm.3205 well, you can say that again
Real west coast poppin
that's what it is!
I was only 4 yrs. old in 84. I would loved to have been a teenager in the 70's and in my 20's on the 80's. But I am very thankful to have at least have seen the era
Waif a minute, no, no, no, I was 7 in 1984. Haaa. LOL.
@Peyton Bell or dead from the AIDS
@Peyton Bell I was in my 20's in the 80's and I wasn't a crackhead so what you sayin!
Sorry Calvin Sutton, Pop-Lockin actually started in Oakland California in the early 70's, possibly before '73. While we in So Cal were locking, they were Pop lockin. Check out "Gentlemen of Production" or "Demons of the Mind". Although there weren't any videos then, a few are still around now. They're all in their 60's now, but they can tell how it started. And it WAS NOT Boogaloo Sam that started it!!! He might be the one who brought it to SoCal back in '79, because he is from Fresno. But it started north of him in the early 70's.
@@anadofficial And dont forgot the Black Resurgents. But all these groups were around before the Jabberwackees (however you spell it 😄) were even thought about. Down here in Socal we had the Electronic Wizards, Electric Boogaloos, Close Encounter of the Funkiest kind, Electric Puppets and the list goes on. I always felt NorCal had better moves, but we had better rhythm.
this needs to be revived in the name of Hip-Hop
Winston McGregor I still do this at 38. I'm passing it down to my younger family members and the youngsters in the hood. They are fast learners.
It's not dead - just more alive in other countries now like Asia. I for sure pop if when I'm dancing.
Every black community in the United States still does this.
@@Solomon-kt5dc They should continue because it is part of their heritage and a lot of people would love to claim these dance styles as theirs
Can’t believe this was forty years ago!😱
This is how they dancing today to faster beats per minute! History repeats itself full circle.
1981 in venice and you also had the skateboard scene in full bloom.
BLESSINGS!!! 💕💕💕 THANKS FOR SHARING!!! 🙏🏾KEEP THE HISTORY AND CULTURE ALIVE!!! 💕 ALWAYS REMEMBERED AND NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!😎💕🙏🏾PEACE
It’s 2019 and I’m still popping at the age of 38 going on 39 June,17,1980 my (dob)originally from South Gate Cali
Paramount ca poppin since 95. Homeland LBC
South Gate off of Atlantic and Tweedy next to the park.
Loser
You have to wonder where and what those dudes are doing today.
N2LADIES55 they’re likely middle aged with a family.
Still killin' it at the cypher's Venice. Just check 50 years and up Cyphers on YT.
And i wonder how them your girls with the bikini on at the end of the video doing too!
N2LADIES55 during that era THATS when gangs got alot of shine so they probably joined a gang and that was that but idk that’s just my theory
Still poppin'. Only this time, you can actually hear their bones while they're doing it.
This is how beefs were handled before guns were implemented into our society..
love it! Brings me back. Just before everyone switched to curls!
Venice Beach had so much energy in those days.
Shake Your Pants-one of the first songs I recall popping to!
Love my ppl❤❤❤ WE'RE THE CREATORS OF ALL THING'S ON THIS DAMN PLANET
Not that Adidas tracksuit the kid was wearing...
The first time I seen pop & lock Dancing was amazing back in the 70s
Thank you for showing 2023
RIP To Mr. ANIMATION. Air Force Crew.
He used to get BUSY over there 😂
The summer of 81, I met my first husband at youthcamp. I was 16!
Black people are so talented we had nothing in those days
DAM I USED 2 POP LOCK BACK IN THE 80 'S
The Birth of my adolescent years n southern California, Harbor Area CSAWONE
Chris CSAWLOK Sawyer C-ARSON
See we used to have true fun as youth and this was before crack totally destroyed the black community
Classic. Great memories of that time in LA
I remember this I was in high school in LA
The dude in the Adidas suit looks like this Popper I used to go to school with at Audubon named James Keys. I wonder if that's him.
That takes total mind nerve ending control. The ability for both sides of the brain to connect to muscles and nerves -
Not as simple as they make it look-
Do you have more in depth knowledge about the science of pop-locking related to brain, muscle, and nerve coordination? Sounds very interesting.
I'm interested too!
@@icecreamcake1457 it’s called Fine Motor Skills and Gross Motor
@@ame5360 gross motor and fine motor
When people had soul and got along in public, now everyone is all to them selves wasting there life on the internet
Yep, we were pop'n off of Cameo's Shake Your Pants. And, we were also roller skating on Venice Beach, with the boom box.
beautiful MELANINATED people at it again!🥰🥰
Melaninated....??! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cali's finest gettin' down to NY's finest, Cameo. A bicoastal assault in full effect!
yes - Cameo was so rampant in California - I used to think Cameo was from Cali
@@capstonegroup2397 Not surprised; California had some cold bands of it's own.
New York is the motherland of the culture NOTHING but respect for NYC. I want to visit one day
the good ole days when we were into dancin not thugin.
There was thugs they had gangs back then.
@@gaddyify Not like they do now!
@@kennethstokes5102 They were far worse, because of the crack epidemic. And the crack wars look it up.
@@gaddyify This is 1981. The crack epidemic didn't hit until the mid 80s. "Look it up". Nowadays they got the crack epidemic, the meth epidemic, and all kinda other shit epidemic. What, you think they had the crack epidemic, and we got over it? LOL It's much, much worse now!
@@kennethstokes5102 The Crips was formed in 1969 and the Bloods in 1972, they was fighting each other before the drug wars which made it worse. You talk like 1981 was OZ, or fairy tale where there were no violence and criminal activity.
Cameo.. Shake your pants 1980. Black people have always been very creative and innovative and have always taken the arts to a whole nutha level.
Native SoCal. I remember popping like this in 1980.
Esto es realmente alucinante!! Es la mera esencia de lo que es breack dance (aquí empezó todo de alguna u otra manera en las calles !! 😳🙀👍🏼🇲🇽).....
HELL NALL,REMINDS ME OF THE GOOD OLE DAYS,N CHICAGO WE CALLED IT THE ELECTRIC BOOGIE 💯
Michael Jackson said he got a good amount of his dancing inspiration not only from James Brown but the kids L.A. hoods.
People today: "Those kid had the best childhood ".
Break dancing kids in the 80s: "My neighborhood looks like Hiroshima, I had no breakfast and Michael Jackson wanted us to be nice ".
Talent is timeless !
Classic get down!!!!!!
Popping and locking origins in west coast.....bboying from the east coast via the boogie down Bronx..
yep. Pop locking began with the Lockers from Los Angeles around 1976.
Not to be "that guy" but... popping and locking are two completely different styles.. "poplocking" doesnt really mean anything..
You're either popping or you're locking..
It all started in LA in 70’s including rap
Popping and locking became pop locking in the late 1970s/early 1980s. The dance art of locking comes from Central Cali and popping comes L.A. West Coast style!💙❤️
@@controlyourlife346 rapping & dj scratching was the east coast in the beginning
Damn 4 years before I was born. What an evolutionary era. Wish I could time travel.
What I remember back in 1979 when poping hit the scene it was called Poppin and in 1973 They were Locking. Big difference. In 77 and 78 they were doing the Boogaloo. Founding father was Boogaloo Sam. Don't ever recall when they combined the word together calling it Poplocking. That's like calling it Judo-Kung Fu. Two different styles.
Ahhhh....the Adidas Sweat Suit. I wore one. Mine was black with red stripes.
While the east coast were break dancing, the west coast was locking, boogalooing and pop locking. We were too cool to spin on our heads fckn up our alfro. But my favorite song to pop lock on back then was Fancy Dancer by Prince. I can still rock it at 55yrs old.
I grew up in that funkadelic era...good times!
Watching someone dance like this to dubstep is pretty awsome too
Every single one of these dudes are about 60yrs old right now because I was born in 81 an boutta be 40 lol oldass but lol . mad respect for this time an age
The song is "shake your pants" by CAMEO.. such a funky song
Black people naturally talented
You never seen a white guy or an Asian do the same thing ? Black people are talented. So are white people. And Hispanics. And Asians.
Easy with the racism
@@EatinOffMyOwnPlate Calm down lol😊
Man this is amazing, they was getting down the day I was born or a lil after 1981 my niea...👶🏼🏥Grady Baby Atl folk...
This is where Michael Jackson got all his dance moves from.
Michael Jackson would NOT have been so famous with this dance, or the moonwalk if we had access to social media back in 1981.
Michael Jackson just took people stuff and ran with it.
Had a flashback that quick, I should remember I use to..... lol
You gotta have rythm to do this, lol, 🗣Boom, get down y'all! 👊😎
Yooooooo Man I remember them days..theses kids just don't know..my kids be like dad you bugging lol💪☝
Classic!
Travolta had 2 have been here learning those moves frm these Kids whn He did Saturday Night Fever,Bro groovin 2 hard
Excellent dancers!!!
1:13 dope battle type moves, dude on the left took the dude on the rights heart, stretched it out put it back to normal then kicked it like a soccer ball. Amazing how this dance uniquely on its own with no cross mixing, mirrors the New York top rock or uprock moves in this sense. The mocking of your opponent with mimed moves. Tthis is 1981, New York uprocking was likely not known to Venice Beach dancers yet which wouldnt have happened till at least by mid 82 or 83 at earliest. And ya dont stop!
Before the crack smh
if they only knew...
Daaauummm I miss these days
WOA WOW IT LOOK COOL TO DO THAT
Wowzers sick old school style.
Too DOPE
While these guys were pop locking my parents were making babies. In 82 i was born
Sick wit it west coast still cuz
The icon of Pop locking was Fred Porche from (Durock) Duarte California
Spittin image of homie with the AFRO #chills I thought that was me
AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME
Yeah The OG !!!!!
Back then biting, copying, and stealing moves resulted in a beat down.
Is the dude with the fro "Fish" from Carson Ca.?? I remember chilling at Banning High school in Wilmas Ca.and watching him twist-o-flex. Dude was one of the best!
Graduated from Banning in 1987. Know fish well
Dude with the Afro was rockin’ dat Adidas suit!
I still have mine. Blue 3 stripe! PAC JAM and Planet Rock was my favorite popping jam.
@@theknow7557 👍
Fresh!
Those was the good old days
Wow 😮 the true gods at work
HELL . YES . 🔥💯❤️
Those same people pop locking are probably living there now in 2021. Homeless.
Getting it in to Cameo...
Royal Flush dancers use to turn up and make noise at Venice Beach!
Facts
When the guy with the white came on stage and started dancing, that was almost exactly how it looked when usher came on stage and danced with MJ. MJ was dancing like the guy in the white and usher was kind of dancing like the one in black
Pop locking stabbin' the air...
Classic......salute
Michael Jackson and DJ Quik
Anybody know the dancers personally?
This is dope
It was about Parliament and Funkadelic.
That music though.
He got on them stadias!!!! Ha! Ha! Poplockin fo.liiife!!! Alright!
Ghost town pop lockers Shore line Crips all the same
Waltet Young that’s who they are?
Crips wore the golf caps back in the 1980s. These young dudes didn’t bang. However, a lot of Crips knew how to pop lock. The famous “Crip Walk” is rooted in pop locking.
