Before all the rappers with the cars, jewelry, and clothes, it was these guys that were the staple of hip hop!!! They paved the way for every rapper that never has to get a regular 9 to 5!!! Nostalgic memories for me personally!!! Ice T went from break dancing to a detective on Law & Order!!! Black Excellence at its best!!!
Most said Sellout and only after him showing the $$$$$ They gave him a pass .. Now he says one line while crouched over a body and see ya next week homie hahaha
Don’t get it twisted. A lot of the rec centers, speakers and other equipment was financed through the dope boys that was in the community. They was just in the shadows back then. Nowadays they’re in your face and the rappers only paying homage by imitating them.
For Clarity, this isnt " before all the cars, jewelry and clothes." ICE T, & many more had made their way in the streets and music was simply their next level up. This is before they started SHOWING YOU these material riches in their videos..
@@miami8089 Agreeing with some views here - Shrimp could glide better than all, Taco was sharpest but not as big a range as Shrimp, and Shabba could lock better. I can't pick between Taco and Shrimp.
@@barryschwarz Yeah it's hard to pick. But I think that's what makes them both so great. I guess it's a matter of what style you enjoy the most. The thing about Shrimp was that he could a little of everything really well. (Pop, Lock, Break)
@@MH-zg5yw Never. He knew lots of gangsters though. They also told him to get into music. His music was also anti-gang and anti-drug. He really is a legend.
Hard to believe that Ice T, LL Cool J, Will Smith ( The Fresh Prince ), Ice Cube have all been in Hip Hop for over 35 years! And have all become accomplished actors! Salute!
Funny snoop and Puff Daddy the only Ones RICH BIATCH from those days... You never hear anything about Sure knight fukking with Dre... As usual we don't know everyti everything but they're all Suspect and the furthest thing from a G ever.... Sad Fact they all sold out to be where they are
Love it-I was like 8 years old when I saw Breakin’ in the theater and my favorite scene was Ice T Reckless and the club battle-oh and Bogaloo with the broom popping to Tour De France-
Holy shit , being that generation of break dancer and following Ice T thru his rap career (still know every lyric to every song he ever did subconsciously) I never knew he had floor skills, he is the one and only OG …….period

I met Ice in the mid 90's in mid-town Manhattan and told him this was my favorite song of his out of all his other material and he was extremely cool about it.
Ahh...brings back memories with the Old skool poppin' and lockin' when battles were done on the dancefloor without knives & guns. Who knew ICE T could breakdance; he made a name for his gangsta harsh reality rap (Colors, The Tower, etc) then went on to movies (New Jack City) then mainstream TV land's Law & Order!!..Livin' the dream Tracy L Marrow!!!
This just appeared in my timeline today,2/18/21. Thoroughly enjoyed this!😊 To me, it looks like they were auditioning or rehearsing scenes for the movie "Breakin" since you can literally pick out everyone who was in the movie.🤷♀️
T was always a genius, transitioning between genres effortlessly, with his most impressive being the rock and hip hop fusion that no one else has really been able to top, or touch
56 now, in 1980-1984, I was 14-18 years old, doing breakdance and popping in the streets, on carbon-board, in front of shops making a dime of appreciation. Man, those were good times back than.
@@bboybreaks6487 how is combat not violent? By what definition? The Latin root means to fight together. It's an aggressive word. I'm not saying it's bad or I don't like it, just that saying it's not violent is a poor choice of words imo.
@@NunayahBuisness Breakin as I'm sure you know was a way of gangs to battle it out and squash beefs without the use of violence and they go at other crews through dance like they're going into combat. So when they say I'm going to combat crime they don't mean use violence to do so do they?
@@bboybreaks6487 violence in a punch you out sense? No. But part of the definition of the word is "strength of emotion or an unpleasant or destructive natural force" hence its still violent af imo, just channeled in a far less destructive and harmful way. And yes combat is inherently violent in any form, and unfortunately they usually do mean with phsyical force when they say they're going to combat crime.
Dame. This clip brings a whole lot of memories. Electric Funk's the name. San Jose Creek . 1980's break dancers ruled the scene. We love funk punk jazz n metal. Those days you'd take in all you can and dance!😂❤🎉
Great footage.I’d have loved to have seen BOOGALOO SHRIMP aka TURBO, in a battle with NEW YORK CITY BREAKERS,’MR WAVE’.That would have been a serious locking,body popping battle to watch.
1 of 2 songs that changed my life as a kid in 83 ,My Father bank was across the street from the biggest Vinyl and Dj equipment store on Long Island called DJNOW, anyways if you got one of the frist 100 or so , inside the sleeve is a 12-inch piece of paper that folds out to be 2 feet by 2 feet , on both side of the insert are diagrams from the Rock Steady Crew showing dance break moves, and believe it or not ,Rosie Perez was the first female member of a Breakin crew and was Rock Steady...when I had 10 rap albums by the end of 83, I told me father we needed to go to PC Richards, I did my homework and they were the only place away out in the sticks you could buy new SL-1200 Technics Turntables, mine were 1205s or 1210s because they had the rare black ones, my father said no problem, but al most fainted when it came to 1,200 and changed...maybe thats why they called them the 1200s , becuase 2 of them cost 1200 bucks lol
2 days after I was at PC Richards with my dad buying black SL1200s and my dad built me 2 15 inch bass bins(he copied from a pair of JBLs) and 2 12 ich,(back in the day when Radio Shack sold a wall of every speaker twit and horn.) and a 79 Harman Kardon 500 watt amp..
Turbo was bout the only west coast cat that could get with new York smoke ... NYC was on a whole diff level when it came to breaking locking and popping...WORD ✌🏾
Same same! I think cause... he was just some kid, coming up, back then.By the time he started getting popular, they had switched to the gangster rap... Bet he didn't pop and lock, to that stuff. Lolz
I have every album Ice-T ever made, I've seen him in concert 20ft away from me. But the one rhyme I can't forgive...... "My perm got bounce Fuck a 40 oz" Real gangsta

@@GeorgiaMade404 true dat!!!
The popping back than is still untouchable today .
I agree 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
No contest.
It was an art form, it was live....
Straight up! No school like the old school.
The closest to it is jookin in Memphis
Ice T been down on the hip hop scene since the early 80’s. A real hip hop OG
Exactly...way before Easy E
Ice-T was a real dealer/pimp who decided to go legit...
Turbo (Boogaloo Shrimp) pound for pound is one of the best overall pop and locker.
@Gareth Hughes Poppin Taco is awesome no doubt, but in my opinion I believe Boogaloo Shrimp had more arsenal. His footwork is one of the best
Boogaloo Shrimp.was better than Popping Taco in my opinion.

Ice T is the real OG much respect!!!!
Ice T was never a gangster. He made all that up when he reinvented himself
@@MH-zg5yw I didn't think he ever claimed to be in a gang.
@@MH-zg5yw he's never claimed to be a gangster... he used to be in the army ffs
@@tylerdurden7142 yes he did. ICE T claimed to be a gangster over 15 years ago. Repeatedly. The guy is goofball
@@MH-zg5yw Never. He knew lots of gangsters though. They also told him to get into music. His music was also anti-gang and anti-drug. He really is a legend.
Ice T look like he should have been in the movie the Warrior's
Warriors came out in 1979 bro
ranking! Good moves
Burnt Toaster Ice-T was a pimp and jewelry thief in 1979
This is the same time Warriors come out and plaaay!!
He knew about LA gangs and would have made a genuine gang leader.
Almost 40yrs old this is insane
This video was 40yrs old when you typed this comment, 8 months ago. It's 41yrs old, as of 2022.
Hard to believe that Ice T, LL Cool J, Will Smith ( The Fresh Prince ), Ice Cube have all been in Hip Hop for over 35 years! And have all become accomplished actors!
Salute!
Only LL has any acting chops but yeah go make that money.
All named are the definition of hustlers! Changing with the time and age.. but still on the grind!
@@phuturelee3420 Queen Latif is a better actor than LL Cool J

They all sold their souls. That's the unfortunate truth of it.
No special effects, no filters..no Opps..all talent..I wonder how many artists would be alive today if this was how beefs were settled.
Give ice. T his flowers while he's still with us 🖒
Flowers is so Gay
POWER!!!!
True!! Seeing Turbo makes me think of Shabado, who we lost last year. So unexpected! 😞
FACTS !!!!...... Also give TEKASHI 69 his Flowers as well , while he's still here
Ice T contributed immensely to the success of these movies ( Breakin' and Breakin N Entry).
Turbo was off the charts....unbelievable. Great upload. ❤❤❤
Wow.. I never knew Ice T was a good break dancer
He was featured on Fame as a breakdance gang participant.
He was nice with the footwork tho, just saying
@Optimus Mgtow lol. You didn't notice him at the end apparently.
He wasn't, he sucked.
Same here 🤔🤔🤔👍👍👍👍
Ice T is a legend.
Too who
@@derrickandrews6407 he's accomplished more than you ever will
Fucking anybody on the West Coast..Colors was hard af
@@derrickandrews6407 your entire bloodline couldn't measure up to this song alone. If you were smart you'd know how stupid you sound.

IM A 70'S BABY AND GREW UP IN ALL THIS AND LOVE EVERY BIT STILL
And your name is 'Rene', like the Lost Boyz song
Ice-T is one of those versatile,greatest all round talented and real thrue rapper of our time,so cool to see him breakdance in 80 s
I still think my dad's generation is the coolest.. better then today's culture
Ice-T has really been there all the way through
We gotta give Ice T his flowers man
Love the 80's and 90's!!!!
Ol skool forever 🔥🔥
Even when ice T was young he still looked old...
Ice-T is a legend and one of all time favorite entertainers.
Love it-I was like 8 years old when I saw Breakin’ in the theater and my favorite scene was Ice T Reckless and the club battle-oh and Bogaloo with the broom popping to Tour De France-
I think most would agree with you.
Yasss!! 😁👍🏼
Same and I was 10 and running around with linoleum and a boom box lmao
This dude really out here remembering movie scenes he saw 40 years ago when my whole life is a blur 🤷🏻.
I’m still looking for The RadioTron Club✊🏽😎
The 80s are the golden era of music, movies and fashion. Miss this years
What athletic energy in the 80's era. Fantastic music, fantastic hip-hop so powerful so energic and so modern in the sound💪🏻💥💥. Why i miss the 80's 😥
So glad to stumble on this. It's my young teenage childhood right here!!!
Me too. Get you're cardboard and boom box ready.
Great the golden era of break dance wonderful music.
Holy shit , being that generation of break dancer and following Ice T thru his rap career (still know every lyric to every song he ever did subconsciously) I never knew he had floor skills, he is the one and only OG …….period
Ya I follow him since he was dancer ...well more of side gig! ICE T!!!!
Also watch Ice T in Yardbrough & peoples “Don’t waste your time” video giggin’
Me neither! Yep on the floor. OG! Word up!
same here, i never knew he could bust a move too
The music was really good in the 80
Reckless is/ was ....one of the best battle tunes of all time '
All of the real breakers can’t help but move when we hear and see this. It’s forever in our souls!👍🏽😄
Ice t made this movie great..
30 years later and I finally figured out this damn song
Tru Dat. Took me 47 yrs
Goodness 😐
With technology these days. Could’ve played the song and ask Siri who is song by. Do it for hard to find music etc.
😂🤣
Still dope... 😊👍🏻
Wow… what a culture Hip-Hop was back then 👍🏽
Yea into it got tainted and corrupt
How so ?
1:17 Turbo is a character.
Thats Michael "Boogaloo Shrimp" Chambers, son! Respect.
Dude I thought boogaloo was young in the 80s. How could that be his son....

oh, how I miss the 80s
I miss the 80's!
YES!!! 2020 is gone 2021 Gotta get better
I met Ice in the mid 90's in mid-town Manhattan and told him this
was my favorite song of his out of all his other material and he was
extremely cool about it.
Very much an eye opener for keeping fit and healthy .
Ice T has looked like the current Ice T since he was a 19 year old Ice T 😅
Man it takes me back to the days of the Nike windbreakers! 👍 ✌️
Adidas with the 3 stripes LOL
1983 rapping still better than any rap now. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved this era. Mid 90s wanna be gangster rap killed killed the whole thing for me.
Ice TはBREAK DANCEの基本ですね！！
Now this was the original rap groups back in day luv it ice t straight getting it in.
When hip hop was fun.
Ppl forget Ice T was in the Breakin movies
That's true but I did not know he was that GOOD!!!
Never forgot he was.
Them 2 guys wit the curl was on Soul Train I def remember them
I used to play Asteroids Defender and Galaga during these times.
The mix with ice T lead voice is the best one!!

If ever you feel meh.. just watch some cool 80s stuff... like this!
Great!
I remember this when I was like 8 years old.....this were good times
This video is so west coast 80's, it's awesome!
Ice t was holding out on the cold ass moves...See you never underestimate anyone!😎
some talented BreakDancers my goodness and Ice T. They had some dangerous awesome moves. Love it 😜
T was always a genius, transitioning between genres effortlessly, with his most impressive being the rock and hip hop fusion that no one else has really been able to top, or touch
I came here to let the world know I was two years old when this came out ...
It was great to witness the greatest 80s have to offer. This was pure music. Now off to watch the movie Breakin for the 800th time.
Ice T is the maximum in this genre, in my youth I listened to it until exhaustion now I continue listening to it and I like its style more
56 now, in 1980-1984, I was 14-18 years old, doing breakdance and popping in the streets,
on carbon-board, in front of shops making a dime of appreciation. Man, those were good times back than.
If only I could go back in a time machine like Marty McFly back to my teens lol
Great old school jam big thanks bro 💯👏👍✊
i thought Ice T's power was gold , what a top track
I'm approaching old as dirt, but... enjoyed the 80's.

Exactly! Just compare the break moves from the movie Breaking to the ones in the movie Beat Street....... just no comparison at all.
This is awesome 👌 👏 😎 🙌 😄 😀 👌 👏 😎
Can see the Capoeira influence in break dancing
The rise of Hip Hop music is what killed breakdancing.
How did I not know Ice-T was a dancer?!
Because he was trying to distance himself from this
Same same! I think cause... he was just some kid, coming up, back then.By the time he started getting popular, they had switched to the gangster rap... Bet he didn't pop and lock, to that stuff. Lolz

Who remembers the Electro albums. Im sure Reckless was on one of the first ones.
This takes me back! I used to live to dance! Pop N Taco was my hero. Rip Pop N Taco
Charles Washington tore it up. Liked him the best out of all the soul train dancers.
