True MJ fans know what Taco and the rest of the dancers did for MJ, not only did they improve his dance, they made his life a little better on the way. We should all be thankful for it. Pop N Taco is one of the greatest street dancers there is. MJ was a legendary visionary.
This man invented the styles we use today he should be a millionaire just off that alone. We don't appreciate our gods in hip hop. Rip to all those bboys and bgirls that don't get the recognition they deserve. And master poppers.
Nothing but respect to Taco, living legend. I just wonder what happened in terms of his life, maybe he just doesn't care about material things, or maybe he's hit hard time. Would love to see him in film or tv doing what he does best and better than anyone. Taco, write a book man, you got tens of thousands out here who'd buy it.
Rather than Focusing on his Look you have to Admit he is living Legend who still is doing his own Thing and deserves so much Grattitude from those of us who enjoyed so much his Uní que Dancing Style.
I was in my teens just like Taco and Shrimp was when Breakin' came out. And, I look just like them now in 2017 with weight gain and grey hair everywhere! LOL! Both of them still have it though. LEGENDS!
@@danejoseph6208 He 2 years older than me . I was legendary in my own neighborhood back in the day and of course I stole a few moves from Shrimp and Taco. Lol a good combination
Taco is still the best, he will still pop lock it with the youths these days still have the mad respect he'll always will from any new generation, and he looks like he is still having the time of his life and that's all that matters to him and nothing would ever change that he is the master of pop n locking, I wonder how youths these days would look in the future at 50+ pop n taco came along way and accomplished a lot in the 80s everyone hits the age and has to step back and be humble and say dam I did really good, it's nobody's business where he is now if you've seen his videos he is teaching kids how to pop lock and probably keeping them out trouble think about it the dude is loved respected and that's what it's all about making people happy....
Bro, his hits are on a different level.. His neck pops in particular and the angles that he creates with his head are extraordinary. Then his ticking, waving, balance... Dude is imo the greatest pure hitter I have ever seen.
Patrick Picasso I think he could have been the greatest no doubt, however, I don't think he evolved enough to par with either Pete or Wiggles. It's hard to say though because he doesnt give a shit about the spotlight. And it's difficult to gauge if he's even trying his hardest. All of these recent videos from 2012- present just present him in a sort of warm up effort, and not really giving it his 100%. I still think he's a genius though.
@@rossegan7034 If you're going to name drop like a fanboy then I'll do the same. Greenteck will mop the floor with Poppin John, any day. Popn Taco deserves to be called the GOAT, though. He inspired dancers like Mr Wiggles and Greenteck, and even Michael Jackson. Dude really is GOAT.
Bro. Well said. I couldnt agree more ozzy. Hes not actually a pure popper but in terms of dynamic motion..waves..ticking and technique....he is unrivalled.
There's a quality of "genuineness" and "true art" that will come through even in a casual setting, that anyone can recognize, feel, at a deeper and more basic level, because the artist is putting soul and respect into it, something that is often missing even in high budget, high quality productions- seeing this now is encouraging to me
OMG, it's almost surreal seeing a dude this age doing sick popping moves like that, (I mean no disrespect, I'm almost 50 years old myself); truly mesmerizing. Been to many a party over the years where ego ridden guys jump on the dancefloor for attention, 'thinking' they can dance, but then the magic is completely absent. I would have loved to see Poppin Taco walk onto the dancefloor at a party like that and show those wannabees what the craft really looks like. I literally found myself letting out gasps at how insane his moves are here.
Bruno is the hardest hitter of his era he set the bar. My homie Marvin Columbus moved from Ohio to Cali, and just threw himself at Bruno's feet and he came back refined. He was in the meeting in the ladies room video with Bruno. Marvin of the Ohio Skywalkers!
Old school poppin and lockin at it's best. I turn 50 this June, and I truly do miss the good old days man. I remember going to the cinema to see breakin, I was dressed as a B Boy in Nike Trainers with thick laces. Happy memories.
A natural with technical skills and swag...I still see that scary intimidating popper from breakin..truly a deadly dude with those ticks! Taco you are a legend and an inspiration!
True legend! Wow still got it! He was the one that got me into poppn! Lay off the beer and pizza, cut and dye his hair and sum of his old digs! He could tour the world and make bank! Still so much respect!! It's not easy getting older, the passion is still there! Awesome video Madame smile! :)
Mr Taco , just because your getting up there in age dont mean you have to look 30 years past your actual age.... your moves still show your youth and energy... you dont have to look so broken down, its killing me seeing this.
wow... The OG dancers of the days of the beginning will ALWAYS have it because it's always about the 'trip' of the gift of dance. I remember I used to go head to head with Shrimp and Bruno at Cerritos College dances and Carson Mall and later on in different places. Sometimes I won sometimes I lost but we always had so much fun.... What a blessing that was....God bless you Bruno, aka Sir Carl 'sir snake' FLIPROQUE Productions :-)
Man, this footage is awesome, pure vintage Pop n Taco. I am glad to see a pioneer and a legend still out there showing us how poppin, waving, animation, snaking is done. I am a student of Pop n Taco watch and learn from as much footage as I see of him. I see why the greatest entertainer of all time MJ took him as a dance trainer of his. I have the old VHS video of Pop n Taco, wondering if he will ever do a DVD of that old VHS video and also release a new DVD/vid on him with new and current foot
For me Poppin Taco and Mr. Wiggles are the greats, none of the poppers in the last 20 years can touch them. These poppers nowadays don't feel the music/beat. They're fucking robots going through the motion.
Pasa el tiempo y Poppin Taco sigue formidable..Este mae es un icono, una leyenda,un pionero del Poppin junto con Ozono,Turbo,Poppin Pete, Loli pop Sanchez..Los recuerdo en la pelicula BREAKIN...UN SALUDO PARA ELLOS DESDE COSTA RICA.....
Orale,you still got it bro, you should really think about teaching younger generations , your a living legend , God Bless . i still wish i could get down like that . i would rather watch you tube and trip out on Popping John, that young man can move . you and turbo got down back when WE were all youngstaz. We are as old as we feel bro. que- no? Viva!!theres no stopping us,,,,
Why? Because people go to Long beach to seek out a poppin legend, and he is nice enough to go out and hang with his fans and even bust a move, or a few for them? it would be sad if he was forgotten, but as the video shows, he isn't.
It's too bad that Poppin Taco let himself go as he got older. He must have had a very hard life later on in life. Taco does not look very good today, by that I mean fit and healthy like in his younger years.
You can't teach that sort of stuff it's a gift, i think taco needs some d train music something like "keep giving me love" i'd like to see him move to that track, nice to see him well.
Our father was a good dancer too in the 80/90 decade but recentlly he recorded one video to you tube in this address ( gas station attendant good dancer from brazil) taco our father is your fan number one he has 46 year old 3 grandchildren and love break dance good bye kiss
woooow...feels good to watch him dancin'. Always a true pleasure. One of the biggest inspiration and a source of knowledge. He just showed us why he do deserve the title of LEGEND!!! We miss you Taco. Thanks for sharing the video.
It cut me off the rest of what I wrote. But that was suppose to be footage. New and current footage of him. I am glad to see the video u posted of one of the legends and greatest dancers of all time, Pop n Taco.
That's awesome he was in a giving mood there. In his younger days he was a Furious performer. He was only one year older than then myself. Now he's gone thats still way to young.....
Grandissimo Bruno, what a treat this is as always, 4:32 isn't enough time!!! Much Love and great things to you always bro. Thanks again 1longbeach1, what a crazy jet liner sound you mixed in and put through them speakers lol !!
Bruno got better over the years as you can see here at or near his fifties which is just incredible while Michael (Boogaloo Shrimp) lost that edge he had when he was younger but, both of them I are unforgettable.
You're right!!!!!! Michael was already the king of entertainer before he met Taco!!! He was number 1 during billie jean motown 25 and release of the thriller video!!!! He had met Taco in 84 after a lionel ritchie concert in which taco was a dancer!!! Michael started to publicly pop during the dangerous era . Casper is supposed to have teach moonwalk to Michael, not the so infamous jeffrey daniels, Michael enhances it alot....though Taco animation style influenced Mike in the 90s!!!
Shame on me, from the background I assumed Bruno was not doing well financially. It shows his net worth at 5 million in 2021. Yes, my assumption makes me an ass. He is doing fine!! # Legend!!

He looks his age fellaz. The man is at least 50+ years of age. Breakin is 33-34 years old. No legend can defeat father time...Taco was the best!

There won't be a better dancer like him again. He was a true god when it comes to dancing.
At 80 my man will still b hittin harder than 99.9percent! GOAT!!!!!!!

the best popper i ever see...throwing the spit in the on beach battle movie Breakin is something supreme
Facts!
Never get bored of that scene.
Lies... Poppin Pete was by far the best
A legend, I remember seeing Breakin in the movies and I wished there was more of him dancing in it. Much respect….
For me Poppin Taco and Mr. Wiggles are the greats, none of the poppers in the last 20 years can touch them. These poppers nowadays don't feel the music/beat. They're fucking robots going through the motion.
Sheeva Matimbas Mr. Wave was a beast too
Watch popping hoan

In his prime no one could touch Taco. In my opinion he was the greatest to ever do it. Rip Taco🙏
Great to see the OG still got it.

Coming from an og popper himself who was around in those days
I just want to know what known cats he ate up back in the day...
He should definitely be running some workshops or classes in his area, making that $$ on the side. Hell, I'm 41 and I'd be up for that :)

I would give anything just to be there in the presence of greatness!! 👑
Now is over 16000, still not enough. Love your point man!
His part in Breakin didn't do him justice because he was better than ozone.
He turned O-zone's ass out at the beach that time though and ozone knew it too. He had no rebuttal
