I'm sure this probably looks as primative, & alien to the younger generation, as the 1940's looked to us back in '82. But this was as exciting, & futuristic as it gets, the mixing / scratching / B-Boy / graf, etc. Infectious is not the word.
I was 8 years old when this came out! Although this scene is alphabet city (totally not the expensive gentrified area it is now), i used to see this guys in crotona Park the bronx, breakdancing. BX was a war zone then but hip hop kept us alive. Glad to witness at a very young age.
And to any DJ out there... Grandmixer DST controls the flow something lovely with this beat throughout that whole Rammellzee / ShockDell rap + the Good Times portion. This is partly why DST is legendary amongst the best DJs...
I have always loved the way he was cutting Good Times. When I interviewed him on my radio show years ago, he stated that he hated how the mix came out because he was having problems with one of turntables. One motor was slightly slower than the other thus he had to forcefully cut harder. You can hear it on here but it still sounds great.
I never noticed till now how they're all holding simulated 'weapons'...a reminder of how real and tough the streets were, even back then...to me these guys were like the rap version of woodstock, rap hippies or pioneers...sang, rapped their hearts out, formed the foundation of so many others, but never got paid right.

'LIFE', is why I always say 'live while alive, cause when your'e dead you can't'. Love yourself, love your life, while alive, cause when dead you cannot. Half these people or more in this video probably dead, but they lived while alive....here me!!
My favorite freestyler ever! I wonder what ever happened to him?? I love the early days of hip-hop, when breakdancing, graffiti, MC's, rappers, were all still kind of merged. Each art form trying to find its own footing. Puerta Ricans, at least in New York, back in the day, really took a lead, some skilled OG's back then. I Miss those days.
The PR's main contribution was in the dancing and graffiti. Of course. the blacks started the initial form of bboying/break dancing with what is called "the turntable" and the freeze moves. Afterwards the PR's took the dancing to another level. PR's also had much to do with starting Top Rocking/Brooklyn Rocking which is different from bboying. Graffiti was around before Hip-Hop. Taki 183, a white guy(greek american) is practically the person who started "bombing" since the main aspect of graffiti is getting your name "up" and exposed as much as possible. Later on guys like Comet, Blade,... started hitting the trains etc.. Blacks will always rule MCing and DJing. The involvement of PR's in rapping and DJing is limited. The most well known were Charlie Chase, Whipper Whip, Ruby Dee, Tito from the Fearless Four and DJ Disco Wiz( 1/2 PR, 1/2 Cuban).
At 2:58 or so, this guy was like the original 'Shock G' (Digital Underground {Tupac's start} I miss the days when blacks, and Puerta Ricans, and all colors collaborated to make hip-hop. Social media has totally destroyed the mystery and mystic of traveling to new areas and exploring new styles and cultures. Now days, everything thinks they know you before they even meet you based on social media videos and stereotypes.
1983......... I was thirteen and went to a little theater that would usually show porn w/ my crew. THE L.A. CRASH CREW. we were b-boys, and I was hooked after seeing WILD STYLE. LONG LIVE HIP HOP!
This is why New York is the Mecca for rappers and break dancing what other state was doing this none btw dst destroyed the wheels of steel luv from Brooklyn 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷 I better not forget graffiti as well
That track is called "Cuckoo Clocking" from the Wild Style soundtrack. Listen to it and realize how nicely DST cut it up live during Rammell / ShockDell's performance.

This is real HIP HOP.Why they dont make music or movies like this nowadays?
