- This is a video I had in an old vhs tape with a bunch of break dancing clips, this is a good video with a good song in the backround, The Guy in the suspenders is the best, I heard this is somewhere in Compton out here in California.
Please dont ever take this video down!! This is part of west coast history!!
💯💯💯
Hip hop history, sending west coast love too 🤲🏾

Be good safe free peace postive😮😮😮😊😊
Nobody cares
People should know that the west coast is where Popping started. That's different from Breaking or Break dancing that started in NYC(dancing on the ground).
Nah not true. I know OG Shaka La been popping and rocking since the 70s
And rap first rap group and rap artist where watts profits but New York just made it famous
Negative...
West coast Locking before popping aswell , mime robot moon walk. Backsliding camel walk incorporated aswell from shields and yarnell and the mime greats which became pop locking bugaloo leaning backsliding moonwalk camel walk waving etc , then the east coast boys come up with ground work the turtle ,up rock , egg rolls windmills crazy legs ,one arm spin , head spin , great times indeed but these new b boys of today hav taken up a notch incredible moves

Did he first see popping on Soul Train(L.A show)?
Brings back memories when I was a B Boy in my crew street style rockers. Poppin, Lockin, Break Dancing, Graffiti Art, was my life keep the roots Oldskool. B-Boy for life.
BBOYS FOR LIFE! DON'T STOP THE BODY ROCK
💯I was a B-boy in the 80s. Our crew was Incredible Body Mechanics (IBM) out of Lancaster, CA. B-Boy for Life! 🫡
big shout out to uploader im sure to convert this from vhs and upload it took forerver
On God ! 🙏🏽
Jheri Curls was immaculate
Crazy to see my actual dad Darrel (boogaloo) Cooley at a young age 🤯
He was nice.....he was not arrogant he was just good...and he did what he did well....
They were dressed beautifully what a great time to be alive 🥰 I was born ‘89 and I always say I missed the party !
Artists and athletes
This looks like they were tapping into a higher level of conciousness and manifested it physically. Its bigger than just dancing. They also were at peace and radiated positive energy.
Most things that the african does at a high level is when the african taps into that endless source of power. We just dont realize it.
@@DJ-uc8mk Israelite bro, not African.
@@katrielisrael7262 Nah bruh.. The Hebrew Israelites feel the same way about Africans as racist Europeans do. The old testament bible is just as anti African as the slave master. Im African homie.. My DNA takes me back to West/Central Africa.. I'm not a descendant of 900 year old mythological men.
Getting into that zone, just feeling it, letting it flow & running with it. The youth need similar positivity today. Both negativity & positivity are highly contagious. Too much focus on the negatives will stifle the spirit of growth & development. Positivity is like sunlight & fresh water for the soul leading to beautiful things.
Professor Griff and Bobby Hemmitt broke this energy down. They said the records or music back then vibrated on a high frequency unlike todays music. He said that high frequency or high vibration of the music hit the chakras which is energy or vibration that spins and that's where you got the creation of breakdancing. That's some powerful stuff. Bobby Hemmitt even said the records back then healed cancer and other sickness but only if you played the old music on a record player only. He also suggested we only stick to or listen to music from the 70's/80's on back. He said this era of music is bad frequency. He claims that's why the powers that be got rid of soul music.
Michael Jackson sitting on the top of the world, Mario and Luigi about to slay the game industry, Arnold dominating hollywood, the 80s were a simpler time.
To those interested in the music. The first song in the intro is:
Looking For The Perfect Beat by the Soul Sonic Force.
The second song is called I.O.U by Freeez.
Man, I hope these brothas are still in good health and pop lockin'. I was only 8 when Breakin' and Beat Street came out and watched both at the theaters. Those were the days! If only we had mp3 technology back then, it would save a brotha's budget when it came to batteries to power our ghetto blasters.....yup haven't used that term in 30 years...lol

Now you know a couple of them were victims of gun violence
@@teelee3084 bummer. They weren’t the most articulate people but this seemed like they were possible of doing something worthwhile.
back when ppl used to bring their own uniqueness to each dance, not a time when everyone was a copycat. Loves it!
True to this day. Heard of tic tok?
@@mitchellcowan945 pls stop
Fr everyone is trend followers nowadays
@@mitchellcowan945 Tik tok dances are unorginal,Uncool and Boring.Popping and Locking(Breaking)is Unique,Cool and Iconic.
Hmm!....back in the late 70's to early 80's every region of Cali had their own specific styles aside from just straight poppin!
We took pride in developing our styles, never even thought about copying/biting someone else's style! Back then, you had to travel to different cities to see different styles, when poppin became mainstream is when all the copycats jumped on the bandwagon!
damn, them young cats are good. its amazing what can happen, when kids can aquire a hobby on their own and not have it forced on them. respect to these guys.
Back in the day's when everyone and their Mama had a Jerry curl
Ain't no shame I used to wear the expensive kind billy dee williams used to advertise lol I forgot what name it was called
Pops still has Oil Sheen...😂😂😂😂
slick backs for the mexicans
I remember one my friends moved to Detroit from Inglewood Cali and another from the South Bronx in 1981. We had a crew with multiple skills in high school. Man oh Man how time flies.
much love to you og
Real OG break dancers
I remember my uncle started the keystone poppers in compton and my other uncle was from the truckers poppin at its finest
That dude in the All white and the Big C suit was masterful!’ 👏🏽👏🏽 🎶🎵
They were mentioning the ABC market on Manchester, If they were in that neighborhood, this is L.A. near where Manchester Av. intersected with Hoover St.
It’s incredible how this moves around the globe because very old Ethiopian tribes do something similar when they dance chest shoulders ticking. Beautiful. I used go see battles and see moves that blew me away.
Yo this is nice. Have you noticed that people from the Hood, inner cities are very creative, respect to America for developing this art form
Love the Poppin culture with the West Coast Funk. 🔥❤️💯
That’s awesome. I remember ABC market right at the corner of Manchester and San Pedro. That was grocery market to shop for food. Good times..
Right. Eastside. This is not Compton.
This look like 83/92 Hoover neighborhood, that ABC store was off Manchester and Hoover
Definitely the 80’s, pop locking in the 70’s was all over LA, man miss those simple times. No hate just love for music and enjoyment from all over LA.
Mr. Cooley used to kill it at the halftime football games at lock high school back in the day.
Yea he’s my dad
@@ltajda that’s really cool. Much love to you your pops and your family
based
So much better than the today new school salah bull crap.. The new school has lost its charm.. I love oldschool
Agree, back in the day was raw and honest free style art, and ofcourse for the love and fun of it.
i couldn't agree more
"I practice from about 10 in th morning til about 5 oclock" Hear that?? Real b boy shit.
Facts
These were the golden years
Darrel "Boogaloo" reminds me a bit of Mr. Wave from the NYC Breakers.
Thgis is classic early 80's , just before crack cocaine hit....it was a very innocent time of people dancing and listening to music .
Talented kids they were!
i went to compton high went john an tic alot 80s. tic alot live around from me in compton tic alot is still alive pop locking i dont what happen to john they was the real deal when came popping from og Ricc Rocc es cpt
Robert Brown did you know Jerome coulter?
Dam he said ABC market wow i remember that. ..
Wow this is heart warming. I seen Tic A Lot in one of the resent Poppin video and he is still killing it.
Those Jheri Curls are still dripping from that Soul Glo
The song is I.O.U. By Freeez
Darryl Cooley, Locke High School Saint Class of 1985!
Class of 84 Rulz!
Best type of dancing ever
We did make a documentary about Dr. Dre and music producer Jimmy Iovine. The pop locking portion was a small part about Dre’s beginnings. It’s called The Defiant Ones and its on HBO.
Thank you for putting this stuff up man.
amazing piece of dance history
Our HISTORY OUR CULTURE BLACK POWER, BLACK PRIDE
Poppin Lockin was before breakin: This like 80-82. A gang big homies took their dance names over into the gang bang era happening at the same time.
I’m so glad my dad showed me the movie Breakin, I wouldn’t be pop lockin now if I have never seen the movie. My dad was a breakdancer in 80s in Puerto Rico
It was filmed on 107th.street on Normandie and budlong..Los Angeles CA...Darrell Boogaloo Cooley...thank you for all the kind words...God bless 🙌
I’m here in 2020 watching pop lock vids
What's unique about pop lockin is looks eerily similar to Egyptian wall paintings of Egyptians in different poses....
That's why a certain move is called Tuttin
@@dingane0039 interesting huh
Yeah the ghetto or inner city called that Vogueing with the hand popping movements. Madonna copied the dance everyone was doing in the hood and did the song "Vogue". That has been going on since the 70's or earlier with black folks.
*old school feels innate because it was so new around this time that it was super authentic! now the moves and rhythm i could say is better* *but its doesn't have what this vid is giving me even the other crazy animation vids with millions of views*
Ha! Those are my high-school classmates!❤🔥👍🏿
They some straight crips 😂😂😂
I love it. This is exactly what you need to succeed in live.
Hope these guys are doing well!
Always respect to the roots, represent that all over, from my country to the world 🙌🏽✨💯
Hella dope!
Great to see this video truly old-school popping
I dunno but this makes me cry...TEARS OF JOY!
This was TOO DOPE!!
This takes me way back. Thanks for sharing.
JEHRI CURL!!! follow the drip follow the drip
I see that shoulder drop hit!!!! Single shoulder double shoulder drop .Lots of people used to do that back in the day! Tick-a- lots Jeri curl on poplock!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣Such a cool lil clip.
great video.
This is really good stuff.
Timeless classic
These types of videos represent West Coast popping. Not that corny movie from the ‘80s BREAKIN’. That movie had us looking like clowns.
We are trying to track down any of the original members from this video. For a documentary. It's the Mysterious Dance Co. Darrel Cooley "Boogaloo"
John Riggs "Electricmo", Micheal Dolberry "Touche" or Jerry Hall "Tic-a-lot". Does anyone out there know of any way to contact any of these guys?
+Kim C i'll get back to you playa! I can get you in contact with them!!
+Kim C contact Kool boy OG Poplocker on Facebook he has all of their contacts he's will be expecting a message from you
Hi Rodney, thanks for getting back to me.. we were actually able to track it down but thanks again!
