@Fizbanyt Frosty Freeze can also be seen in the BBoy documentary "The Freshest Kids" (you can find it in a few places on the internet). He died not too long after that came out.
@alexeykh that makes no sense at all ...bboying was based of off breaks; disco,funk,r&b,soul, rock etc not electro...electro came in 10 years later LOL
@Man0rMachine You can put away all the self-righteous indignation. After all, one of the earliest & biggest of all times hip-hop songs was based on a couple of songs from some classically-trained, tech-oriented krautrockers. Another one of the influences for Planet Rock was from a Japanese group called Yellow Magic Orchestra. Go check them out for some hip-hop "sense." You pray to your gods your way, & I'll worship Who i will in my own manner.
@JUNIORROCK Look, if you don't like it, don't watch. Or, turn the sound off. Or, you can listen to Tupac. At any rate, being that if I had put up some modern gangsta rap, I would not have caught any slack. So, I believe I am within my rights to play the type of music that Bambaataa may have played (computer rock, as it was known at the time - Kraftwerk, YMO) when DJing (late 70s - early 80s) - unless you can show me the clause in the hip-hop manifesto that prohibits it.
@Fizbanyt Definitely see Style Wars (it's on youtube, or you can watch the whole thing on Veoh, as Style Warz). It's mostly about writers but it covers all aspects of hip-hop culture, with a good amount of RSC. Wild Style (the whole thing is on google video) is a fictional movie made by Fab 5 Freddy where early hip-hop artists act their part. The main hero is a graf artist played by early writer Lee Quinones. Rappers play rappers & Rock Steady is in a couple of parts.
Actully bboying was based on breakbeats not disco or funk or anything like that. Breakbeats is the whole new genere of music. On almost every bboy competition you have DJs who actully do live remixes of old funk, soul etc... music. Electro breakbeeats or Electro existed since 70's and was part of hip hop culture. Planet Rock by Africa Baamata from the 80's to be exact became the anthem of Zulu Kings if you know who they are.
@elsadiq2 If you really love the guy, you are free to make your own. It took me quite a few hours to review everything available & compile this just the way I wanted. Go create; it's easy to be a critic.
Sadly the music makes no sense at all.... how could you select this as the background music of a hommage to Frosty? ? ? ? ?

@Fizbanyt Did you ever see Style Wars or Wild Style?
