Back when T & myself recorded this, I never thought people would like this track but I did my best for Mr. Wave on how he wanted this to sound. I actually performed all of the scratch tracks on this only single from legendary Mr Wave. It was recorded at INS recording studios in New York City and I had produced the beats with the Oberheim DMX & Roland 808. Scratches performed on my 1st pair of Technics 1200 back in 1987. Good times recording this for Mr Wave. I recently spoke to Wave on 9/2019. He is strong and creating new documentaries of his legendary life. Nuff said., One.
Much respect for you doing your thing DJ Lou. Was just thinking about how good this jam was and why I'd never heard it when I read your comment. Boy times have changed as far as technology goes. What do you think about current state of hip hop music?? Only if you don't mind if not I understand. Props to you again.
@@waltersobchak7275 Walter, the current state of hip hop is incredible! The influence on today's hip hop is so powerful due to the fact that back then we didn't have mp 3's or the internet to promote or shop demos. I myself am a true old school hip hop head till the casket tips. As far as today's current state of hip hop, I think it's amazing and may hip hop continue to open doors and reach higher levels and knock down barriers! Nuff said.
@@tlarocksdaoriginodjlouielo9004Well I never thought you would see that comment and thank you for your reply. I feel good knowing I conversed with a true pioneer of it all. You know when you were doing your thing in the early 80s in NYC we were huddled around the television down here in Jacksonville soaking up any and everything you guys put out as far as fresh moves. Often imitated but truly impossible to be dupli or replicated. ....but we sure tried. Glad to know you are keeping on sir. That honestly makes my week. God bless sir.
I think Mr Wave and Pop Master Fable and Mr Freeze was the best poppers during that Golden era of Hip Hop. Mr wave electrified me as kid growing up in Strong Island NY during the late 80 s and 90 s when I was engulfed in Hip Hop growing up in them suburban hoods of Long Island that use to have the Block parties and park jams in my old hood New Cassel Westbury NY which was a escape from the madness drama tradegey and suffering that going on in the neighbourhood with that crack epedicmic destroying lives all over NY. I remember me and my friends going to 42 ND street in Manhattan to see Beat Street. We were in awe of the NEw York City Breakers and the Rock Steady Crew being we were knee deep into break dancing ourselves back on Long Island. My Wave sent chills through my body seeing him pop on the big screen. No era would ever compare to that 80s and 90 s era. Our park jams during Westbury day I remember one summer Rakm Chuck D Flavor flav Freedie Foxx Dela Soul Epmd and Biz Markie all came through the park just to enjoy the Hip Hop vibes. All these cats where from Long Island but from other hoods in Long Island. Sometimes I remenice on those days like Pete Rock and CL Smooth.
I think NYC style of popping was unique back then. The vocabulary of moves wasn't as vast as the west coast and the animations weren't as sharp but we made up for it in groove and story telling. We didn't know how to hit "correctly" so we compensated with shoulder pops and direction changes for energy. The beats were a bit faster than the funk style the West grew up on. I wish some of the moves popularized in the movies Beatstreet and Wild Styles was represented more by modern poppers.
such innocent times. Was there anything better than the early 80's? God I wish i could be stuck in time and stay in the 80's. The music, breaking, lee jeans, blue suede pumas with the fat laces, le tigre shirts, wind breakers, shell toe/top addidas, linoleum, cardboard, jukebox and my favorite arcade games :-)
Many things were still inaccessible or you had to go to the local newsagents to read about it in magazines. You had to go to music stores to get your music. These days everything is at your fingertips and it makes for a relatively cold and boring existence.
Mr. Wave was just cold as ice! I love this cat! Back in the day, I patterned my style after him and a few others and threw in my own mix. He's a pure legend!
Damn Mr Wave a Bronx Product was doper than dope. That scene at the Roxy in Beat Street!! Gattdamn!! That was the flyest, illeat routine I ever saw. He took out that whole crew by himself!!!
Mr wave te escribe un admirador tuyo de lima peru hola Mr wave es fácil bailar como tú mr wave o es difícil yo te admiro mucho Mr wave eres un excelente bailarín profesional yo quisiera aprender tu baile espectacular cuando tú bailas Mr wave o escríbeme en español no ingles seguido o siempre amigo Mr wave el bailarín espectacular felicitaciones por los videos queas dejado Mr wave
way ahead of his time...he kept whats was started years before and them he use when those films where shoot. Thats why he is more older than the rest of the crew..he was way old School than the rest.
I loved the contrast between east coast, west coast and mid west style dancing back then. There were so many groups and individuals that made urban dancing what it is today . My favorite group was the Funkateers from Michigan. But none of it would have been possible without James Brown, Michael Jackson (the Robot) and the Shields & Yarnell mime show in the 70's.
yo, Mr Wave, you are the man!! i show my wife your waves in slow mo, and we both agree you are the best breaker. and yes Ozone, and Turbo aint got shit on you guys even tho i live in west coast Washington, we aint shit over here!! Good luck with all your success, and we are still amazed by you. Love ur fans Gabe n Ceci.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE WHO WONDERED WERE I WAS ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT IM BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER. STAY TUNED
So much respect man. Thank you so much. I hope you're well king.
It’s an honor sir!
New York City breakers breakdance battle takers ! Ace !
I'm a huge fan. Glad to see you in shape and still rocking.
I'm 41 and pop and glide like a mofo. You, Bruno and the people that kept it goin inspire me every day. ❤
The 1980's was the best times ever Hip Hop took over the world
Breakdance is about to take over the world again because it's going to the u.s. Olympics

I Appreciate the tremendous contributions you T and Mantronik have given to hip hop !!!!
Appreciate the info about this track. Fantastic work. Mr Wave is one of my fav dancers along with poppin’ Pete and Taco His style is incredible!
"Mr Wave couldn't possibly have any bones in his body." - Bob Hope
Mr. Wave is just out of this world, something else.
tbh during the 80s mr wave's dance style was way ahead of its time
Why do I never get tired of watching this guy?
lol, me too
Because he makes you wanna dance
Porque ele é o melhor. The best
Mr. Wave an elite breakdancer, his moves are unmatched, his moonwalk is really out of this world
Mr.Magic present a world premiere. The Marley Scratch. T La Rock sound just like Marley scratch beat with Shan.
I like Mr wave. I new him when he was a kid
Did he ever cut his hair?
저분은 진짜 현대 비보이들하고도 맞붙어도 이길듯 대단함!
This is back when hip-hop was motherfuking hip-hop
Mr. Wave is the greatest breaker in history.
Why they let Robert Taylor play the lead break dancer in Beat Street?
No he's not.
He does the same stale wiggle move over and over
The talent is undeniable
The BEST Mr. Wave compilation on Earth!!!
Thank you!!!
One of the freshest videos ever!

You mean Mr. Wigglez? I've never seen Mr Freeze popping.

Mr. WAVE is the freshest popper of all time..anyone who disagrees is wack..MR. WAVE aint no one got moves like you..stay up...
I think the New York City breaker's and Rock Steady Crew should do another movie like a 34 year reunion of Beat Street that would be another Classic

My favorite group was the Funkateers from Michigan. But none of it would have been possible without James Brown, Michael Jackson (the Robot) and the Shields & Yarnell mime show in the 70's.
i heard michael jackson got inspired by urban dudes who were already break dancing on the streets
Damn...he was cooooooold....
A master of his craft.
The greatest. Mr Wave
