BOO-YAA T.R.I.B.E - Dudes who are the size of professional wrestlers who can dance, sing, rap, and play their own damn instruments! I wish kids nowadays could see what real talent looks like! BOO-YAA T.R.I.B.E, Forever!
Damn...you said it all man!
The Flame On Fire!!! I remember these guys used get down at the Radio Tron.. I used love watching these guys ( Boo Yaa Tribe) get down. Jazzy Dee would be rockin the mic 🎤.. Do they still communicate I wonder 🤔
Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. are the last standing of the original west coast sound. Talented originators that never sold-out. Keep up the legacy. Peace from Greece.
stravokolpatzhs 504 agree 💯⚜️
💯💯💯
These dudes could do it all dance, rap, play instruments and above they always represented Carson. I went to high school with Kobra and GodFather may he rest in peace. All and all the Boo Yaa T.R.I.B.E is dope. Thanks for representing brothers
When I was a kid I thought boo yaa tribe was native just from their look my uncle gave me most of his old cassettes this was his favorite group i wish he was here much love from the Navajo Nation
Bro,... A REALLY CLOSE friend/brother of mine is from the islands and I'll tell you what, Samoans are genuine true to heart very grounded people man, no matter what the cause. Beautiful people. p.s. WE NEED ANOTHER WESTCOASTANOSTRA!!!!

Sorry too hear about Sam, I use to play darts with him for a lot of years. May I ask how he passed? Once again my condolences, rest easy my friend. 😢
I first heard of Booyaa when they were the blue city strutters and they came on the dance show Fame. And Kobra danced with Michael Jackson. They were the real deal.
Fun fact: kobra did the choreography for Janet Jackson’s that’s the way love goes✊🏾✊🏾...real solid dancer
No chit never knew that
Real spill?....im gobsmacked
@@txddyfarquh3916 Same. Lol. That's insanely inctedible lolol
Bruh, when he said he “taught Boogaloo Shrimp”... that’s all you need to hear... IYKYK..
It was actually choreographed by Tina Landon
I remember Jack and Charlie from way back on Mettler ..I grew up with their cousins..miss those guys, Miss those days.
These Of interviews are Priceless! Much love for the work, putting them out there!
Gold T Lockers Fred Lau*Westly Mamea, Danny B.*Jr. Mama* Midnight Locker Senter*Lil Fau*Jacob*Kennedy* who are some of the Samoan dancin groups from the late 70's IN L.A HARBOR CITY & CARSON & Mike Alo*Sam Niko R.I.P

Great Clip! I use to live in Harbor City and I remember Heckle & Jeckle, Pookie & Mantan, and Cricket. I remember seeing Jeckle going head up against Pookie and Mantan at Narbonne High school. Incredible battle. The good ole days! BTW, I think the song Kobra was talking about at 8:30 was "Fire it Up" by Rick James.
I was enjoying watching this interview of the OG until the "to be continue" ending lol...good see one of the uso's doing a video keep it coming uce. it's seki.

I'm black and grew up in the South. My sister and I used to love Boo Yaa. We were amazed at how these big ass Samoan dudes could not only rap, but dance and sing too.
You right on one thing, the people you fuck wit don't fuck wit us poly's cause you know where you going end up. On another note don't be jelly cause we better at doing what we do.

I’m trying to find the boo Yaa Tribe on the arsenial Hall show back in the early 90s. I watched it and it was right. Looking for it
Another thing I picked up on that he does is, the way he moved his hands this dude is cold doing martial arts. Not bad for a dude his size

I've been listening to their songs for a few years now, and I love all old school, classic, and new. the song that has been stuck in my head is the intro to this video. the only song I can find close to it is "I can make you dance if you want me to" by Zapp ... if anybody can help me get this song, that would be great

THE REASON I CALL MYSELF WEIGH WITH WORDSWriting
.
.
.An endless, bottomless ocean, doesn’t lend itself to being emptied. I do better, I exercise more craftsmanship, more artistry, more authenticity, by dictating the rhythm of the waves. I needn’t push rivers, lakes and streams my way, for they find me irresistible attractive. Unison is born through force, yet it isn’t coercive…it’s magnetic.I write.
It’s not an outlet of me; I am an outlet of it. My mind is a stew pot; my emotions are its ladle and before long gumbo is deliciously served. My eyes see words on the pavement, I find phrases in the skies, experiences are my literary delicacies.
I write.
The beginning of a piece , is but a continuation of another, directing my reader to yet another. I am a cross-guard of understanding, a bridge to questioning, and island of the analytical.
I write.
Situational awareness stretches beyond the apparent; I melt into the asphalt and glide with the winds. I am an instrument of a different kind. I don’t create sounds “with-out”, for I am able to harmonize “with-in”. Therefore one is largely, completely and undeniably, able to feel me.
I write.
Love for and of the art stimulates the seemingly impossible. There’s more to come. At night I don’t wrap myself in blankets, I take delight in the warmth of my writing paper. I savor the flavor of my nightcap…A most wonderful mixture of blue and black ink. An acquired taste for those of us that thirst for word quenching.
I write.
You may find me on a global scale or at you local coffee shop. For there isn’t a place in the world where I don’t fit. I can translate and transcend all at the same time within the configuration of a sentence.
I write.WEIGH WITH WORDSTHE REASON I CALL MYSELF WEIGH WITH WORDS
Huh?
Salute da og
RIP Danny ‘Monsta O’ Devoux. Killa bassist. The funk lives on🤘🏽
