Kool Keith AKA Activity use to get down on the electric boogie with the Shack Crew and Get Loose Bruce way before he was a rhyming with Ultramagnetic MC'S.
I remember seeing this very episode the day it came on an never forgot it. At that time I was blown away to actually see Bambattaa on TV (A cable network kids show). He was explained things scratching and other DJ tricks. I was somewhere around age 13 at the time. That was one of those rare occasions when could get a glimpse of hip hop on TV.
Just to clarify for all the newbies. Kool Keith was mainly Locking when he first danced. He was mainly popping after that. He did no break dancing(dancing on the ground). Locking,Popping and Breaking are all separate dance styles.
It was from a show called Livewire, back in the day. The white dude is named Fred who could actually beat box , kind of, and the co-host was a sista named Moeva. I don't know if that's how you spell it. Anyway, good post. I think that Whodini and some other hip hop acts went to Canada or something on a tour, cause all the sudden they were playing hip hop shit on Nickeloyouknowtherest. Im not trying to kick facts that's just what I remember, I was jamming to Battle Cry on the Beat Street soundtrack at this time
Lmfao @ Keith's 80's Jimmy Neutron outfit!! Sad thing is that the music being played here is WAYYYY better than anything out there right now on the radio. YoOOo, i miss seeing a DJ going wild scratching & cats breaking wrecklessly! Timeless..
ice t has oldest recordest footage of leg sworls in the breakn n enterin video, he may have been no ken swift with it, but thats still pretty monumental
This is the same episode with AD ROC from the beastie boys asked afrika bambaataa a crazy question. Bam looked at him like don't let me come back there and kick your.... LOL LOL. I saw this when it was first shown on NICK, I just dated myself. Props to anybody that can find the whole episode.
DAMN !!! I WANT THAT MIXER!!!!! I'LL MAKE SOME FUCKIN FRESH AZZ DEMOZ WITH THAT RELIC !!! THIS IS HIP HOP BABY...ANYTHING ELSE IS A LAME AZZ FOKIN EXCUSE!!!!!!!! HAA!!!!
The living legends DJ Jazzy Jay - Afrika Bambaataa - Kool Keith down from day 1- May God keep blessing the living legends from the BX!
ohhh shit.....

Best video I watched today.
...dem leg-warmers doe..
Wait, WTF?!? I am a 51 year old Ultra fan and I am just learning this!! 😳🤯
Man Keith is that dude!
ICE-T WAS A BREAK DANCER AS WELL. I'M GLAD THEY WAS DOING SOMETHING POSITIVE.
So wasn’t vin diesel , and Dante from the movie clerks
A wack breaker.
ice t has oldest recordest footage of leg sworls in the breakn n enterin video, he may have been no ken swift with it, but thats still pretty monumental
Jacky Jasper came and thumbed this down
The man is a God! Hip Hop rap God I say!
Kool Keith=OG
KK IS A FUCKING GOD!💯
Jazzy J on the wheels of steel !!!! Bam on the set !!! whaaaat :)

Man... even if Kool Keith's popping was wack, he'd still get props and respect. Dude is a Hip-Hop legend.
FYI this is pop and lock-in
wow if that's really Keith then he had his own style of locking as well.
clokwize he did and it is hes a living legend
Keith was dope!
Dr. popagon!🍻
is the world made of plastic
Not at this time obviously.
But nowadays that's the way it seems.
its weird seeing him so "mobile"...he usually has such a lethargic and robotic way of moving
very true, Keith is just awesome really
i dig his rap skills way more. but at least he can pop&lock and break some
Classic
Wow 👌🏽
That mixer is so old school it look like it came from Noah’s ark
Yet he mixes with it better than most with full electronic laptop setups today
Legend has it Joseph himself crafted that mixer with wood from the stable. 🙏🔥🔥🔥
Brilliant..
JAZZY J's. on the kut and KOOL KEITH on his feet!
is that CED GEE with Keith
Dope.
DAMN !!! I WANT THAT MIXER!!!!! I'LL MAKE SOME FUCKIN FRESH AZZ DEMOZ WITH THAT RELIC !!! THIS IS HIP HOP BABY...ANYTHING ELSE IS A LAME AZZ FOKIN EXCUSE!!!!!!!! HAA!!!!
Damn,that outfit could only be worn back then. Keith looks dope tho! The other guy looks like Ced Gee
awesome! :D
I was waiting for the host to say 'that was neat'
lol
hahahah awesome
He was pretty good. Better than Ice-T both dancing and rapping.
mr gerber lockn light years b4 the generation of losers watered down our culture also this was filmed my birth year
Chris Brown disliked this
haha....anyone happen to know what year this was?
Before you were born.
Is that, Ced Gee, who went after Keith?
(1:41-1:47)
Not quite at breaking stage in this time of recording
Back in the day, you had people who specialise as popper and lockers (which is what you're seeing) or breakers not demonstrated.
People disrespect the craft in 2k13.'
Wait, why is the host a blonde white boy?!?
Great interview with Kool Keith. Legendary, Stay fresh, avoid fuckybergs.
cus premium pete wasnt old enough to host it. hahaha!
Cause ILLUMINATIIIIII!!
+Combat Jack Show because white people where a part of hip hop by then
+Combat Jack Show Racist
