The Nicholas brothers 1943! Wannabes 👎🏿
Great memories shout out to Break life foundation Bx, Bklyn Nako, Lil Star 🌟 Ken Swift, Glyde, Romeo, Kid Glyde, Gizmo. Alpha Omega Infinity 7Gems.
8:36 Wow that's a super dope rap right there! Bruh was killin it! Who is that?? ....Aw man! I just Shazammed it. That's your boy Spoonie Gee! And the Treacherous Three! How I missed that back then! Well I'm adding it to my old school hip hop playlist now!
I guess the great Sammy Davis Jr must have had a Puerto Rican dance coach back in the 50s. This like what he was doing. Have you guysever created anything that’s unmistakably yours. Your whole Puerto Rican culture, anything.
BEYOND & MORE! LUV DIS!
Can you believe this shit was 40 years ago? Unbelievable, I remember it all like it was yesterday. Breakdancing got elements of dance from many world cultures over the last 100 years. But this was where it all came together and hit Main Street and mainstream like the A-bomb 🔥
Proud to be Boricua 🇵🇷 ❤
They are just INCREDIBLY Talented!!!!!!!!
Did Normski have parents?? Out in the hood at that age wtf!
What is the name of that break that Norm is popping too?
Who is the kid at 3:54??
Blacks had the rapping and DJing, latinoes had the breaking, both had graffiti, all that sh** made up HipHop!! F*** the separation nonsense going for one man to line his pockets!!
Blacks made hip-hop period. It's all documented for you to look up. The Mills Brothers had the break/ boy moves since the 40s. Nigerians were doing this as well in the 50s. Any other cultures added on to it.
This music was dope.
These were the days.
the gold old days
Norman is the best bboy ever
Black Americans were doing this in the 1920's.
So.. its came to life in the 70s..and melinated brothers of all cultures were in the right place for the media dance music and art world to come together and bring it to the world.. respect to the seeds..but NYC will always be the ROOT and it was built by and organizedby nlack latino and white people...thats why it went worldwide...the spirit against racism and gangs.. GOD ordained...bump the woulda should coulda..lol.. PEACE
Those were professional dancers doing that in the 1920's. These are kids with no formal training coming up with their own moves. Any dances that look like dances from the 1920s is purely coincidental.
Stop with the race politics that’s stupid theses are kids that just dance
"SINER"💖"BLISS. ..Dope ROCK STEADY CREW alway's worth looking back too...2023
Normski was a Rock Steady Crew nomand.
1:54 Norman looking like a graffiti character that came to life!!!! Jumped out of a graffiti throw up!!!!💪💪💪🙏🙏🙏
The same thing came to my mind when i saw it
i'll probably post some beegees should be dancing next, but that's history - notin more notin less - just HISTORY X ))
Big RESPECT and ADMIRATION🕺💪👌
I'm looking for the bully aka the huge beast who wanted problems with Norman tell to pick on someone his own size
Love this comment ..im witchu
@@aarongoni17 let's get it 💪
I'm glad to know the history of this dance 😎
Does anyone know the track at 18 :08 please?....Thanks in advance..
It's funky sensation by Gwen McCrae
@@gdupkwin9676 You need to learn your history and stop guessing coz it ain't that...
Normski is in a class by himself.
Stormin Norman was the iLLest! He had a lot opportunities as a dancer on different shows. Cats don’t talk about him much because he danced with different crews sometimes as a solo artist. Norm is still a Legend and a pioneer in Hip Hop Dance, and he’s doing well even today. Last I heard he was working in the Public School system. He always was a solid dude. Salute 🫡 to Normski ! BX REPPIN 🙅🏽♂️ 🇵🇷
What's that kids name with the white hat and black and white stripe shirt, he is phenomenal! I remembered him from flash dance when he did the puppet.. Kid can move and flow like the best of them!
Mr Freeze Rock Steady Crew
@@eddieavila1081 nooo its not. Norm.
Awesome
Hi Fanta. What are you doing here?😁
Norman is incredible always was still is to date...
Where is he now?
10:46 Bumbaataa looking really predatory at a young Normski….I hope Norm kept his wits about him and dodged Bums slimy mits.
I see what you mean.
@@welfaredad Like he was some Spare ribs with a side of the best mac and cheese ! WTH??
Come on. You know he was a victim. What's a 12 year old light skinned kid with curly hair hanging with the grown ass booty bandit Bambaataa? Bam was grooming them kids.
I hope bam wasn't playing tricks on normski!!!
Ive seen michael jackson do some of normski's moves
Normski 🐐
4:08 Fantastic 5 mc,s rapping over ESG - UFO
Salute to Dot-A-Rock !
Is that Fab Five Freddie @22:24 ? Also having Normski at the end is just perfect.

4:10 … where he goes IN!
YES!!!!
Idk if it's just me but I have a crazy connection to the 80's. I mean I was born in 85 but sometimes when I watch a movie or see something that shows how life was back in the 80's down to the music ,drugs, women, ect.. ect.. I feel like I would have done good for myself in the dope game or something lol but for reals I feel like I might have a past life that lived in the 80's.
Its a shame they painted over that Sky's The Limit mural. My favorite thing to see in Manhattan.
@Obama Bin Laden When did they do that?
@Obama Bin Laden I used Google maps to view my old hangouts. Most of them are gone and have gates around them now. Riverside park is totally different than 30 years ago.
Where can i find this track 4:08
The music is UFO by ESG. I don't know who the rapper is. It was common for rappers to freestyle over instrumental songs and for the B Boys to break to them. Sadly these tapes weren't shared much. They're lost to the ages now.
this rapping stands out from all the rest... against the background of ESG it turned out to be unique. As far as I know Fantastic 5 mc,s are rapping here, but it will probably never be discovered... too bad
I'd like to know if you got permission to do this documentary?
Ole Norman was Super Nice.Him Brotha Frosty and Ken Swift was probably 1 of My many Favorite B-Boy Crews around.I Rocks with Take-1 also.Really The Whole Damn Crew.It's a Beautiful sight to all those Guy's together.
Hi. I just wanted to say that “Normski” Norman is a friend of mine. It’s a shame he doesn’t get the recognition he deserves as far as influencing today’s hip hop dances.
Hi I'm a past student of his at edwards reynolds hs ..anyway that he has social media or somewhere to keep up with Norman
If you ever see him tell him a student of his in history class from 2011 from California my name is refugio quiroz said what's up and wish him the best
@@SOLOBuddah94 I definitely will. Peace
@@jeremyharper4306 thank you brother
Norman is good. Always low-key.
