 You need this....The Ultimate in B-Boy Evolution...Sep 15, 2003
By Eyes and Teeth
The first time I saw this, my mind was blown. Seriously, this is by far the best break dancing I have ever seen. Everyone I show this to agrees. This DVD should be mandatory viewing for anoyone claiming to be down with Hip-Hop. If you want to be educated, enthralled, and entertained, buy this now! You will not be disapointed. When I teach my Hip-Hop 101 class. This film, 'Scratch', and 'Style Wars' wills be shown. I am utterly fascinated by this movie. It is an excellent product, outlining the evolution of the B-boy...going back to early 70's NYC, with some incredible archival footage of hot breaking and B-boy battles (including the legendary Lincoln Center battle b/t Rock Steady and Dynamic Rockers in '81!)...You must buy this now. I assure, you will not be disapointed...these really were the 'Freshest Kids'.

yesJan 24, 2003
By Naomi R Piserchia
The first uncut b-boy battle in the special features section is worth the price of the dvd! The SECOND uncut b-boy battle in the special features section is worth the price of the dvd! And then there is everything else. A better investment than the stockmarket. Breakdancing is treated as a art form, and I feel lucky to have these dancers in my house. I definitely recommend this disc.

IF YOU LOVE B-BOYING (AKA BREAKDANCING) YOU MUST BUY THIS DVD!Jul 23, 2005
By Karen Holmes
I am a 'professional' female in my 30's, and remember and love breakdancing. I am soooo glad I bought this DVD which I plan on giving to my son for his birthday. But now the DVD will be OURS! What's great about it is that it shows the old 70's/early 80's b-boying stars & clips and then talks to the same people all grown up in their 30's/40's today. You WILL watch this over and over! Great history and roots of this NYC, then West Coast phenomenon...If only today's Hip Hop & Rap were as fun and clean as breakdancing was...

Much respectDec 09, 2002
By tehuti
This DVD has special significance to me because I grew up in the West Bronx, right at the epicenter of Hip Hop. I was in high school during the days when Kool Herc was doing his thing and the B-Boy was born. So when I saw that this DVD had clips and interviews of Herc and many of the other innovators I had to have it. Ken Swift really did his homework. Tons of clips of fantastic moves, plenty of interviews and commentary. This is a very comprehensive documentary of what breaking and the B-Boy means to Hip Hop.

IT AMAZES ME....Mar 28, 2006
By FAP FAP FAP
"FAP"
It amazes me how something like B-boyin' that is so inventive, exhilerating, and positive could have only been in the mainstream media for less than 2 years (circa 1983-1985) but a fad like being a gangster (that is so negative), has been in the mainstream media for nearly 15 years! (NWA introduced it in the late 80's. It's sad to see that Hip Hop has turned into the very thing that it swore to diminish.
