Toronto Bboy History Lesson (VIDEO INSIDE)
alright, well this isnt really a history "lesson" in the true sense of the word, and its not even THAT old, we're talkin like 5-6 years old, but this is a clip that i feel everyone needs to watch

all this talk of the 'old days' and shiet reminds me of when i first got in the game

i was 14 when i first saw this clip, and i enjoyed all the FLAVOUR (or i can type it as FLaVuH if that makes it look more "hiphop" hahaha) in it, im not gonna say "style" coz that word is overused and makes it sound like a distinct set of moves or some @#%$.. look at Toronto's FLAVOUR back in the day

i think the new gen that is coming up now needs to see this shiet and realize that Toronto was known for its FLAVOUR, in all aspects..

in this clip you will see tops, footwork, and YES, power & blowups, all done with madddddd FLAVOUR if u kids can believe that

compare this @#%$ to the battle that was posted in the break&enter thread (snc vs ill manners) and you will see that, straight up, that battle lacked FLAVOUR.. there were some instances in snc's shiet (specifically ted's shiet) that had it, but overall that battle lacked it and came off to me as some lazy ass shiet(im just being honest, no disrespect intended)

so without further ado here is the coveted, infamous, and other fancy words for "well-known" COMFORT ZONE CLIP

yousendit.digitekk.biz/do...p?id=23856

people need to put this in their permanent collection

full credit to Mike aka Upstart for making this clip back in the day with all its cheesy music edited on top but this @#%$ is CLASSIC (mike if ur reading this add me to msn again dude)

take it easy, enjoy the clip, and hopefully learn something about FLAVOUR from it

peace out

ps. all this talk about FLAVOUR makes me think of the song by Original Flavour feat. Jay-Z - Can I Get Open, classic song, get it on ur limewire or soulseek or just ask me i got hiphop music for yeeeears

THIS IS A SERIOUS check! For people who has not had the chance to see old shiet from Toronto, this is it! You got people from BTX, SNC, BB, Interkit and DDT all repping in the same circle!

Like damn I forgot how ill Mighty Mouse was! All I am saying is that yo this is straight Toronto style, this shiet is homebred not from US, Europe, Asia or the Middle East! This is TO at it's finest!

If you watch the clip, guys will be doing one NICE clean move no crashes and get crazy props! No need to be doing 3-5 different freezes in one set and shiet.... Again yeah we are all influenced by others but we gotta stick to our grass roots. It's like kids who are born here and have no clue to speak in their native tongue.

Again big ups to fuzz (heist), teeth, gizmo, flex, dyzee, mighty mouse, deadly mike and vital (few guys I reconized from the clip)

I was lucky enough to get down at Comfort Zone, this was when I first started when I was 14-15. I was mad hungry for knowledge, trying to find people that can tell me anything or teach me anything that could help me with my bboying. I've met so many bboys dancers on this path, some still kicking it and some that got outta the game. Regardless I learnt a lot of history and I'm still considered somewhat a 'New Jack' but at least I KNOW MY SHIET! Let's get our facts and history straight, get on with our things, keep it to dancing and having fun like how we used to do....

Peace
