This resonates with me so heavily. Bboying has brought a sense of happiness to me that can be compared to other spiritual pathways, such as my mother's personal deep connection with God through Christianity. In a sense I feel that I have gained something similar to that but with my own structure/ connotations. I see the similarities her and I share. Thank you hip hop. Thank you Remind.
@gzicrew he was just late and wasnt sure what was happening...the crew just came back from eating and once he walked in his name got called so easy mistake
real talk fools ! back rocks, belly rocks, threads and then if u add "footwork" u can call it downrock...coz u do that going "down"....but "footwork" is "foot" work man !
@NateZen Plus Alien Ness fully said he'll allow a flare as a transition but then later on says don't do flares in a footwork battle. lol. If he allows a flare as a transition, why not a backrock, why not a headspin, windmill, etc...
Hey big brother its me cujo how your doing i see all is good you kept the spirit alive great man we need more people like you only if we had brothers like you me i took a difrent turn and keep going in and out of jail but no more i like to come back to my Essence but anyway keep up and do your thing im vey proud of you you come along way you finally did it yes one love hit me up we have a lot to talk about ok tell leggs crazy leggs i trully miss hom and respect all you brothers for keeping the bboy spiriy alive.later.
I agree with girtisholland, AlienNESS is a pioneer in the bboy game and every bboy has learned something from him whether it was directly or through other bboys...
@NateZen Backrocks are just backrock lol. I can see why he wouldn't consider them footwork, and why some people would. Honestly, you can do a SHIT ton with backrock, so I can see where it could separate from footwork. I was there and was kinda surprised Born lost.... but honestly, Flexum was KILLING it the entire night, so it was a well deserved win on his part.
What I don't understand is why he says that backrocks are not footwork because you 'don't move your feet', well you really are, imagine that you do cc's in a normal footwork position and then you do it on your back, it's the same move, your feet are doing the same, the difference is that you have no help with your hands but with your back, so I'm not totally agree with him
Pfff, backrocks are footwork yo, I don't care what Alien Ness says. What are they then? Toprock? NO. Power? NO. Freeze? No. You are moving your feet a lot when you do backrocks and it depends on your feet placement not your back....You can do footwork on your back, on your ass, on your side. Don't let Alien Ness tell you what to do.
Why bother doing toprock in a footwork battle? Like Ness said, it's a waste of energy. It doesn't do anything for you anyway. You're not being judged on it, nobody's looking for it, so you might as well not do it.
the same with toprock I have always been taught to do toprock first before anything else as it is introduction of you/ your style... and now Ness saying that he would not even bother to do that ? excuse me Less but something is not quite right there...
In my opinion, in a dance battle then yea u right, toprock is the intro of your style in a bboy battle but in footwork battle, then your footwork alone should already define who you are
If anyone wants to know, intro track is:
"Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In)" - Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & Trinity Streetnoise
the song at the very beginning of the vid
is 'let the sunshine in'
Oh nice!
"I never score nobody a zero but like right after i said that he did a headspin. i gave him a zero just for not paying attention" looooool
"i gave him a zero. just for not payin attention"
LMFAO had me rolling

Yeah man that is really what it is disguised as a dance.. 😮😮 I have dedicated my life to reveal that toà
True.
@lilmatt375 sam right here...i totally agree with Ness
7 people must have done a headspin to a foodwork battle
which battle does the guy do a headspin.. like who vs who
I'm not really a Ness fan, but he spoke sense!
@ThisAznGuyyy na toprock is standup dancin
word.
fucking love alieness
@nikeballin lol youre on youtube look it UPP
8 people got zeros for not paying attention.
@gzicrew he was just late and wasnt sure what was happening...the crew just came back from eating and once he walked in his name got called so easy mistake
$5 says someone is going to do a 6-step to flare to 3-step and Ness is going to give him a 0
real talk fools ! back rocks, belly rocks, threads and then if u add "footwork" u can call it downrock...coz u do that going "down"....but "footwork" is "foot" work man !
whats a backrock?
whats the song at the very beginning of the vid?
CAN I DO THE JUDING TOO?
I'm sorry if this sounds stupid but isin't toprock still footwork?
@NateZen Plus Alien Ness fully said he'll allow a flare as a transition but then later on says don't do flares in a footwork battle. lol. If he allows a flare as a transition, why not a backrock, why not a headspin, windmill, etc...
also what is the name of that song ?
True knowledge!
so which genius decided to do a headspin in a footwork battle?
thx for subbtitles.!!!!!
WHATS THE INTRO SONG?
i would say toprock is footwork. like he said "move your feet".
but if it was just a "downrock" battle, then i agree that toprocks are pointless.
He's not a pioneer at all, but he's trying to spread knowledge and thats good for the culture...
Militar instruccions !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
alien ness. yes.
Hey big brother its me cujo how your doing i see all is good you kept the spirit alive great man we need more people like you only if we had brothers like you me i took a difrent turn and keep going in and out of jail but no more i like to come back to my Essence but anyway keep up and do your thing im vey proud of you you come along way you finally did it yes one love hit me up we have a lot to talk about ok tell leggs crazy leggs i trully miss hom and respect all you brothers for keeping the bboy spiriy alive.later.
@MordieSG But.....how?? O_O
I agree with girtisholland, AlienNESS is a pioneer in the bboy game and every bboy has learned something from him whether it was directly or through other bboys...
@adob0streak was about to ask this lol
Im just asking... Who the heck did the headspin? xD I wanna see that battle
WOAAAHHHH
ness is a funny guy
hihihihi
btw strifetv please ask him a lot about cypherrr toooo :D
Ness always comes with real talk. His philosophy is always dead on.
I ve always thought Back Rocks are part of footwork too -.-
no thats knowledge to the fullest.
"I gave him a zero, just for not paying attention" aha! XD that hella made me laugh, especially the way he said it.
EVERY BODY SHOULD HAVE TOP ROCK 'S AMD THERE OWN STYLE BUT HEY WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO:)
@NateZen Backrocks are just backrock lol. I can see why he wouldn't consider them footwork, and why some people would. Honestly, you can do a SHIT ton with backrock, so I can see where it could separate from footwork. I was there and was kinda surprised Born lost.... but honestly, Flexum was KILLING it the entire night, so it was a well deserved win on his part.
1:03 - "No flares" right after he said he would allow it as a transition lolol
you get a zero for not paying attention :D
If you want to believe back rock is footwork, keep doing so.
If you want to win a footwork battle, listen to Ness.
show me the video wen the guy does headspins i wanna laugh
What I don't understand is why he says that backrocks are not footwork because you 'don't move your feet', well you really are, imagine that you do cc's in a normal footwork position and then you do it on your back, it's the same move, your feet are doing the same, the difference is that you have no help with your hands but with your back, so I'm not totally agree with him
"flares" is plural for flare...he said one flare; not "one flares". A single flare, fine...multiple flares, NO. LISTEN.
alien ness OMG ..... no really i respect the dude.
Ness, wait for me, i'm gonna show you headspin in footwork
Pfff, backrocks are footwork yo, I don't care what Alien Ness says. What are they then? Toprock? NO. Power? NO. Freeze? No. You are moving your feet a lot when you do backrocks and it depends on your feet placement not your back....You can do footwork on your back, on your ass, on your side.

Next time I do headspin in footwork battle just to annoy alien ness :P

'no headspins'...........ftw lol
i would've given him a zero too.
Favorited before I even saw it.
@teg0000000000 some kid it was funny yo lmfao
wtf who was so dumb to do a headspin in footwork battle HAHAHAAHHAHAHA seriously WHATTT tha ....
"Segregation within the dance."
Goddamnn.,
Only NESS would give someone a zero HAHAHA!!! thats real shit.
@NateZen downrocking
maybe just do a little toprock just to get your groove on but not too much since their not judging it anyways.
@Aznzzz Nahh, Born was mad sloppy man. He fell down like twice....Flexum took that for sure, Flexum was killing more beats and was more on point.
ok i understand
@miklojackson lol and who are you?
Yeah no flares. But one flare as a transition.
hell yeah real bboy talking..
the same with toprock I have always been taught to do toprock first before anything else as it is introduction of you/ your style... and now Ness saying that he would not even bother to do that ? excuse me Less but something is not quite right there...
