Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. are the last standing of the original west coast sound. Talented originators that never sold-out. Keep up the legacy. Peace from Greece.
BOO-YAA T.R.I.B.E - Dudes who are the size of professional wrestlers who can dance, sing, rap, and play their own damn instruments! I wish kids nowadays could see what real talent looks like! BOO-YAA T.R.I.B.E, Forever!
The Flame On Fire!!! I remember these guys used get down at the Radio Tron.. I used love watching these guys ( Boo Yaa Tribe) get down. Jazzy Dee would be rockin the mic 🎤.. Do they still communicate I wonder 🤔
These dudes could do it all dance, rap, play instruments and above they always represented Carson. I went to high school with Kobra and GodFather may he rest in peace. All and all the Boo Yaa T.R.I.B.E is dope. Thanks for representing brothers
When I was a kid I thought boo yaa tribe was native just from their look my uncle gave me most of his old cassettes this was his favorite group i wish he was here much love from the Navajo Nation
Bro,... A REALLY CLOSE friend/brother of mine is from the islands and I'll tell you what, Samoans are genuine true to heart very grounded people man, no matter what the cause. Beautiful people. p.s. WE NEED ANOTHER WESTCOASTANOSTRA!!!!
I first heard of Booyaa when they were the blue city strutters and they came on the dance show Fame. And Kobra danced with Michael Jackson. They were the real deal.
I remember those days going to Carson twin theaters and then going to Sam Marika Hall and then we used to always wear Big John's Hall hang out at the try it
Great Clip! I use to live in Harbor City and I remember Heckle & Jeckle, Pookie & Mantan, and Cricket. I remember seeing Jeckle going head up against Pookie and Mantan at Narbonne High school. Incredible battle. The good ole days! BTW, I think the song Kobra was talking about at 8:30 was "Fire it Up" by Rick James.
I'm black and grew up in the South. My sister and I used to love Boo Yaa. We were amazed at how these big ass Samoan dudes could not only rap, but dance and sing too.
You right on one thing, the people you fuck wit don't fuck wit us poly's cause you know where you going end up. On another note don't be jelly cause we better at doing what we do. We humble about it and whoever you and our peoples are, they ignorant and jelly frfr. Much alofa's and respect to the music.
AS A BLACK MAN IT IS VERY REFRESHING HEARING THESE VERY KIND WORDS MUCH LOVE N RESPECT TO MY PACIFIC ISLANDER BROTHER'S I'm from the south los angeles watts compton area i went to school in gardena as well so i have some friends out in the carson Hawthorne gardena san pedro long beach area!! 💪💪💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😊😊😊
Gold T Lockers Fred Lau*Westly Mamea, Danny B.*Jr. Mama* Midnight Locker Senter*Lil Fau*Jacob*Kennedy* who are some of the Samoan dancin groups from the late 70's IN L.A HARBOR CITY & CARSON & Mike Alo*Sam Niko R.I.P
I watch this video alot its so much information in this thats lost to history books.. have to give respect to the members of the Tribe that was lost in the past few years. RIP TO THE GODFATHER, AND RIP TO GANGSTA RID. GIVE RESPECT WHERE RESPECT IS DUE..
so many good memories growing up in carson, i grew up with donald, blue city strutters was known as blue city lockers back in the day, there was EZ lockers, Midnight lockers, Popping and locking originated in the harbor area, we had all the talent and let's not forget all the badass pinoys representing also, khaki's and knitkickers, those were the days
I was enjoying watching this interview of the OG until the "to be continue" ending lol...good see one of the uso's doing a video keep it coming uce. it's seki. #Learning to pop FromTheOG #Legend
I've been listening to their songs for a few years now, and I love all old school, classic, and new. the song that has been stuck in my head is the intro to this video. the only song I can find close to it is "I can make you dance if you want me to" by Zapp ... if anybody can help me get this song, that would be great
You can tell this guy would be cool to kick it with. I bet he's a tough guy. You can always tell the real G's. Listen how he talks and Carries himself. Not like these youngstas today.
Anyone know the name of the song right at the start? I know the original is 'I can make you dance' by Zapp and Roger but can't find nothing on Google on this version
THE REASON I CALL MYSELF WEIGH WITH WORDSWriting . . .An endless, bottomless ocean, doesn’t lend itself to being emptied. I do better, I exercise more craftsmanship, more artistry, more authenticity, by dictating the rhythm of the waves. I needn’t push rivers, lakes and streams my way, for they find me irresistible attractive. Unison is born through force, yet it isn’t coercive…it’s magnetic.I write. It’s not an outlet of me; I am an outlet of it. My mind is a stew pot; my emotions are its ladle and before long gumbo is deliciously served. My eyes see words on the pavement, I find phrases in the skies, experiences are my literary delicacies. I write. The beginning of a piece , is but a continuation of another, directing my reader to yet another. I am a cross-guard of understanding, a bridge to questioning, and island of the analytical. I write. Situational awareness stretches beyond the apparent; I melt into the asphalt and glide with the winds. I am an instrument of a different kind. I don’t create sounds “with-out”, for I am able to harmonize “with-in”. Therefore one is largely, completely and undeniably, able to feel me. I write. Love for and of the art stimulates the seemingly impossible. There’s more to come. At night I don’t wrap myself in blankets, I take delight in the warmth of my writing paper. I savor the flavor of my nightcap…A most wonderful mixture of blue and black ink. An acquired taste for those of us that thirst for word quenching. I write. You may find me on a global scale or at you local coffee shop. For there isn’t a place in the world where I don’t fit.

The real O. G. 's love they funk! They always represented the funk Poppin, Rappin, playin instruments always kept it funky and hardcore. i remember them when i was younger Poppin cuz there was like 3 sets of Heckle n Jeckles.They was the Samoan ones! and they could bang!
