Video Selection
Korea on the Edge – Break Dancing in Korea
Remember the 80s? Remember parachute pants and the birth of rap? No? Then check out where break dancing is today — in Korea. We take you inside the B Battle Love Story, an amazing blend of hip-hop, dance, theater and yes, even a hint of opera. In each program, a love story is told with a complete cast of dancers showing off their unique skills of flips, twists, gravity-defying jumps and death-defying head-spins. Why would you do that to your neck? For love, silly! The girls are elegant, the choreography is tight, and the guys can throw down in a break-dance fight. Get an up-close and personal experience with a B-Boy show as they teach us some of their moves before putting on a performance for a live audience.
And here’s a DOPE Hip-hop video featuring Bboys and Bgirls, posted to our Facebook page by Dayv Cino:
Soul Clap – CHIEF69 (Directed By Mental)

Weekly Classics
Setting off the classics this week is the Amen Ra himself, Afrika Bambaataa:
Renegades of Funk – Afrika Bambaataa
DOPE video highlighting not just the music, but also the street writers/graffiti artists.
Make sure to peep our interview with Afrika on Radio Breaks Worldwide!
And now another DOPE old school track with a sick video, this time featuring Bboys and Bgirls from the early days of the movement:
Jam On It – Newcleus
Probably one of the most famous basslines on the planet!
Some background on Newcleus:
The origins of Newcleus lay in a 1976 Brooklyn DJ collective known as Jam-On Productions, which included Ben “Cozmo D” Cenac, his best friend David “Dr. Freeze” St. Louis, and Ben’s cousins Monique “Nique D” Angevin and her brother Pete “Master Quadro” Angevin (all teenagers and still in high school). Many members (MCs as well as DJs) came and went as Jam-On rocked parks and block parties all over the borough. In 1981 Cozmo decided to create a recording group as an extension of Jam-On. The group included Cozmo, his wife Yvette (“Lady E”), Nique, and her future husband Bob “Chilly B” Crafton. The foursome originally took on the name Positive Messenger, but would later name their group Newcleus as a result of the coming together of their families.
Read more on Newcleus’ website.
Our last classic this week comes from the old school favorites De La Soul:
Say No Go – De La Soul
Excellent use of the Hall & Oates sample, and some of the funkiest rhymes ever!
