Loving this interview. I lived a lot of years in Detroit. Quintessentially Detroit: One time in the DMV someone's cell phone rang, and everyone in line started dancing. The street festivals, the clubs, so often so much joy and communication. Dance lived in community, in the house, in the club, in the DMV. I now live in a place where we go to some clubs and it's like people aren't here to dance. People are standing, facing a dj, nodding heads. It's a bit bewildering. Then we go to other places, and people are moving, feeling it, communing. I'm trying not to focus on the static club, but it's so much better for me to have the communal experience. I don't want to feel out of place bc I'm one of the only ones dancing.
Stretch is a legend! Ive been bytin his moves since Wreckin Shop from Brooklyn. He and his crew paved the way for this movement and showed us how to elevate after the first wave of Bboyin'
You don’t listen much if you’re still bytin’. Its not about the moves its about how the music moves you. When music comes on why would people want to watch how much you rehersed another person’s moves. Just be in the moment and connect with the ppl around you
Buddha hit the nail on the head with cultural appropriation! We have a voice now, that’s why everyone always asks, why are the people offended now. We aren’t being honored with mascots
Really rich interview! Exactly what all this impressive dancing needs to be understood and appreciated for more than just effects - now I know even better what I actually love! ;) Thank you so much! Looking forward to more!!
I loved every bit of this so worth all the energy, thank you. Much appreciated for the Legend! I learned so much and will keep it near and dear to my heart as an artist thank you for the courage Buddah Stretch.
the dance commentary is much needed! Once you get the explanation it becomes easier to see who's got the edge. We need to see this more often with hip-hop, if only we could get a channel that did this... So glad he's watching this! I really love Paradox and watched this exact video a while back. The Crown reminds me of Paradox, with his versatility. Buddha Stretch got a lot of information to help a dancer like me who is self learning... My main problem with the standardisation was so many different people have so many differing perspectives on hip hop dance it was hard to find real resources. Also I also heard the Europeans don't bounce from someone when they were talking about Les Twins from Just Debout. I agreed but now I see I was probably wrong.
I really need friends, im getting tired of dancing alone, i started dancing 4 years ago, in the beginning i was just dancing without any understanding of foundation so i decided to move to a near city where there are some hiphop dancers, i learned alott but i also faced alot of negetive situations tho my teacher taught me basics but he was really toxic sometimes, and used to compare me with other guys from the class, i struggles alot at that time, so i moved back to my city and its been a year I've been dancing alone 😔. No friends and im struggling with money so i can't even move a different country or a different city, right, im 20 right now and i want to accomplish all my goals but its a struggle without any dancers around me!!!!. Ive danced alone half of my life, its just me and the music, i love dancing it has become a part of my being, i know deep down this is what im born to do. But during my training sessions i always doubt if im doing the right thing or not, and it stops me from really pushing my dancing. Ive gone through months and months of depression, im just exhausted right now
Sheeesh reading this is tough. I know the feeling of being alone somehow. Just keep going, you love it right. Just keep going and find your Partners... Someday it will come.
I studied in China for two years, and bars and nightclubs had a bad stigma and were mostly for alcohol and prostitution, there was no concept of a nightclub culture. I met BBoys but they only danced in the gym or the classrooms at night, and they knew little or no toprock and dances, it was all gymnastic type movements. And they had little or no curiosity at all about hiphop culture, history or music.
In France, threre was a TV Show named H.I.P H.O.P in the early 80's. I wasn't 5 Years old. But i remember my brothers and their friends danced at my parent's home every sunday... A lot of the first generation of bboy in France started AT that Time!
@@michaellarifla5430 When I first moved to America, Crossroads by Bone Thugs N Harmony was the first song I ever heard in the 90s under the umbrella Hip Hop/Rap. It was so unlike anything I ever heard up until that point.
I grew up in Korea and came across the Culture via first generation of K-pop/Hip Hop music in the early 90s! There was also a comic book I used to read called "Hip Hop" and got more into the Culture & dance of it mid 2000s in Canada. All these experiences & encounters led me and the crew to open up a School of Hip Hop in London, Canada in 2020! 🫡🎓 Great chat with one of the 🐐.. he was in Toronto recently and has always been a huge source of inspiration since the old school dictionary and Wreckinshop live from Brooklyn. 🙌
@@519schoolofhiphop wow there was a comic book called Hip Hop? What was it about? What super powers did the characters have? What was the setting or premise? Who was the villain? Being off best? Haha
I grew up on Long Island and everyone cool in high school could at least do a dance move or had a funny rhyme. But it was still opposed to rock music at that time. Celebrities like Rakim and De La, even MFDoom also lived on Long Island but we didn't know them personally.

"If you're not afraid, then you can be free. If you're afraid, then you'll never be free." 🪔 - Buddha Stretch
Dude you got stretch out there!!! That’s so dooope!!!! Thank you for continuing to spread knowledge to all! 🙏🏼
Stretch is a legend! Ive been bytin his moves since Wreckin Shop from Brooklyn. He and his crew paved the way for this movement and showed us how to elevate after the first wave of Bboyin'

I should listen to the music more@@GoldKunai
Keep it uo my dude this is open so many new things that i didn't know
Thanks for tuning in, what things did it open for you?
This such a great resource! Thank you for everyone who contributed to and made this happen!!!
Very informative 👏🏾 👌🏾 👍🏾
What did you takeaway from the episode?
Buddha hit the nail on the head with cultural appropriation! We have a voice now, that’s why everyone always asks, why are the people offended now. We aren’t being honored with mascots
Right from the beginning- Amem Amen Amen!!!! 🙏🙌
@amisampodcast what did you think of the episode. Any takeaways?
In Europe, there aren't as many clubs or parties to go , so when an event happens, Everyone comes, especially if it's only a few a year ..
Thats an interesting point. I would have thought there would be more clubs in Europe, given how big the televised events are
There is also a bit more resources for cultural events from government, etc
Really rich interview! Exactly what all this impressive dancing needs to be understood and appreciated for more than just effects - now I know even better what I actually love! ;)
Thank you so much! Looking forward to more!!
This interview made me realize... to this day Buddha doesn't have a Wikipedia page???? that's criminal
I loved every bit of this so worth all the energy, thank you. Much appreciated for the Legend! I learned so much and will keep it near and dear to my heart as an artist thank you for the courage Buddah Stretch.
Do more narration on battles. Learn so much
Thanks for your feedback! I'll try my best to put out more content like this
I agree
Shout out to the podcast from the Ukrainian hiphop dancer❤
@user-gy4bv1vu5q hello Ukraine! Hope all is well, hope you enjoyed the episode. What were your highlights ?
the dance commentary is much needed! Once you get the explanation it becomes easier to see who's got the edge. We need to see this more often with hip-hop, if only we could get a channel that did this...

Stay tune, more content and commentaries like this in the works.
This podcast episode wasn't just informative. It was enlightening.
Man, this interview was really great. I would love to see one with a Memphis Jookin OG, like Dr Rico or Jawz.
Thanks for your feedback and the tip! Lemme see what can be done...
sensei 🙏💟
That god for Buddha Stretch ❤️
🙌🏾🙇♂️ Facts Yooo understood
sooooo good
dam, Buddha Stretch has so much knowledge, one day I will love to meet him irl and pick his brain.
I really need friends, im getting tired of dancing alone, i started dancing 4 years ago, in the beginning i was just dancing without any understanding of foundation so i decided to move to a near city where there are some hiphop dancers, i learned alott but i also faced alot of negetive situations tho my teacher taught me basics but he was really toxic sometimes, and used to compare me with other guys from the class, i struggles alot at that time, so i moved back to my city and its been a year I've been dancing alone 😔.

Is this two years in the past? or two years recently, meaning that in some parts of China it is still like that?
I studied there for two years, in the past, more than two years ago@@enculturationpodcast
Get C Mack & Brian Green!
Where is the breakdown for judging which part of the video?
I put them under the "music and dance commentaries" playlist on this channel
When did you first discover Hip Hop and what role did it play in your life?
In France, threre was a TV Show named H.I.P H.O.P in the early 80's. I wasn't 5 Years old. But i remember my brothers and their friends danced at my parent's home every sunday... A lot of the first generation of bboy in France started AT that Time!

Please, work on cutting off the interviewee when interviewing them. Otherwise keep up the great work. The content is needed
