  • Rock Steady Crew's Rhythm Technicians videoclip
    Further info from Kwik Step himself:
    ""Rhythm Technicians" -a dance collective was doing shows and as we ventured into a theater piece called "So What Happens Now", Mr. Wiggles who was also a member of RT invited two original members of RSC -Crazy Legs as well as Ken Swift - to be a part of the production. I was a part of Rhythm Technicians along with several others in the video. For history's sake it it should be known that RT was the catalyst in helping to keep Hip Hop n Funk alive. Especially when it came to Hip Hop classic dance styles and theater.
    Because of RT being underground and RSC being so commercially known world wide, people automatically assume this is only a RSC venture i.e. when you post it Rock Steady - Rhythm Technicians people tend to think its a song by RSC. When in fact it was two groups that eventually came under the umbrella name later known as Ghetto Original.
    Peace, Kwikstep."

    Loved it!!! Let me tell you. As a white working class lad going to all the Jazz Funk & Soul Clubs in the North West of England late 70's, early to mid 80's - The Dj's kept introducing tracks by (please forgive the spelling) Afrika Bambaata, Jonzun Crew, Timzone, West Street mob we loved it but had not seen Hip Hop & Break Dancing. We called it Electric Funk. When we eventually saw footage on TV we could not believe what fantastically original scene was happening in NY - BIG RESPECT NY!!!!

    First of all, Mr. Wiggles invited Crazy Legs and I, PopMaster Fabel, invited Ken Swift to be part of our production titled "So! What Happens Now?" Secondly, the song in this video was produced by Taino Tactics, which I was also part of along with Mr. Wiggles, MC Phraze and Ken Swift. Taino Tactics also produced most of the songs and lyrics for "Jam On The Groove" and other endeavors. GhettOriginal Productions became Mr. Wiggles, PopMaster Fabel, Ken Swift, Crazy Legs and Adesola aka D'Incredible. Everyone else became dancers for hire. The 5 of us were the leaders of the group and had the most creative input.

    When you a fan of breakdancing but start watching old Disco battles on UA-cam, you realized how the dance we see from Breaking has become.. now we use to see footwork, being worldwide "BBoy" has adapt more into gymnastics and acrobatics from other elements of culture.

    yo ritmo, i hear you. i was around at the same time and was massively into the whole electro/breaking scene. for me it was and still is the most exciting time of my life. i didnt need money, women, alcohol, etc....just the beats from west street mob, man parrish, hashim, etc were enough along with the breaking. i loved it and still do and feel very sad that this fantastic and best time of my life will probably never come back. Big respect to RSC and NYC Breakers for bringing breaking to us!

    Just for the record: Mr. Wiggles invited me to be part of Rhythm Technicians in 1989. Shortly after, Wigs invited Crazy Legs (and I invited Ken Swift) to work with us on our theater production titled "So What Happens Now?" I called my high school buddy PAZE and asked him to paint the RT/RSC mural for this music video as well as the back drop designs for our other productions including our first musical, JAM ON THE GROOVE.

    Certain members of RT and RSC became known as GHETTORIGINAL PRODUCTIONS. The principle authors, choreographers & directors for our productions were: Wiggles, Fabel, Ken Swift, Crazy Legs and Des. The third force to this equation that also contributed to our productions was TAINO TACTICS. Members of T&T included: Wigs, Fabel, MC Phraze & Ken Swift. Word is bond!

    I was part of the break dance era in the 80's, and did we have a good time or what. It was never about drugs, fights etc. Just settle it with dancing. Bring that mentality back to youth of today.

  • @tkellma
    @tkellma 16 років тому

    the song is "Amen, Brother" by the Winstons. it's the source of the "amen break" that basically every old school rap song and drum n bass track samples. most famous beat of all time.

  • @Jay1898
    @Jay1898 16 років тому

    not sure on the exact date but it was after kuriyaki and buck 4 died as they show one of their faces on the t shirt in the video. they passed away in 92 i believe and crazy legs brought rsc back mainly in their memory. So I guess around 93 - 95. lead rapper is Mr. Wiggles - top rap i have to say and he's a top locker and popper. love his moves and the guy who does a backward somersault from a standstill - fantastic execution - any gymnast would have been proud of that.

  • @RitmoNo1
    @RitmoNo1 16 років тому

    Jay1989.....I know exactly what you mean. I used have to drive everywhere and I really wasn't bothered about alcohol. If I met a girl - it was a bonus, not part of the plan. She had to be into the music though! I lived and breathed music and the underground club scene. I used to dance for hours and still did not want to go home at the end of the night. I would get home 3 am and up for work at 6:45 am. That would kill me now!!!!! Music alters my state of being. What a scene!!!!

  • @Jay1898

  • @Jay1898
    @Jay1898 17 років тому

    absolutely phenomenal...Wiggles does a great job with his rapping - it so clear and so well delivered you can understand everything he says unlike the crap out today....and his moves are top notch!.

  • @Jay1898
    @Jay1898 13 років тому

    choreography is fantastic in the video. great rapping by mr. wiggles also.

  • @Jay1898
    @Jay1898 16 років тому

    ritmo, agreed. i was never into alcohol. it never did anything for me and still does not. but the buzz of the electro beats was intoxicating, combined with the breaking which was somehting so new, so fresh and so difficult to do. only very few mastered it to a high level and when they did and u saw them in full flow the feeling was just one of amazement - how did they do that i used to think when i saw rsc and nyc breakers dance for the first time. it also united people of different races.

    I have a strong sense of consciousness and especially when it's a matter on the subject of history and origins. Maybe not exacting, but definitely being mindful of tracing the true origins from whence something comes from. To realize there are people, such as Koreans declaring they own 'breaking' when you look at their own history as a nation divided as it is and as a people and culture (NOTHING within or outside of their institutions) nothing could be further from the truth.

    Graffiti-art that potentially debases private property has been around since the ancient greeks. American Graffiti expanded as a subculture with the artist TAKI183 got his tag printed in the New York Times in 1973. Subway Graffiti expanded afterwards with artists like PHASE 2, RIFF, TRACY 168, and BLADE

    This is Kwik Step writing through my wife's account. Laci4465. I love the fact that you put up this video and so many people have viewed and commented on it. When you see the video the graff in the back accurately reads Rhythm Technicians and The Rock Steady Crew. "Rhythm Technicians" - a dance collective were already doing theater shows. We ventured into a theater piece called "So What Happens Now", Mr. Wiggles invited members of RSC - Crazy Legs and Ken Swift to be a part of the production.

    Grafitti, b-boying, (MC-ing and DJ-ing) especially how it developed into it's form and then recognized as such outside of it's origins wasn't something those young people back then were pushing on anybody. They weren't. The media exposed it to all of us *with much helpful exposition and narration* and introduced what was, ultimately, a New York thing.

    By the time of those documentaries, especially 'Style Wars', those people, in most cases, kids, long before the relationship and exposure by the media, these NY youths were carrying on a tradition that can sometimes be attributed to being young, in an urban area, stigmatized by race,disenfranchised and other unpredictable factors....

    you know dat zareh77. i was around in the UK in the 80s when breaking was huge and all racial groups were into it: blacks, whites, chinese, greeks, indians, pakistanis... none of them could match the puerto ricans for style, class and execution of moves. it was all good - just about dancing and music. then the blacks came out with this gangsta, nigga bullshit.then it was about the music and being the best dancing crew - and this was puerto rican inspired. they are the top, top guys in my eyes.

  • @Khultan
    @Khultan 18 років тому

    People introduced to Hip Hop via RSC, Style Wars, NYCB and other docs. may fabricate or lie about how and when they got into b-boying, graffing, mc-ing, or dj-ing for all kinds of reasons once they finally seem to understand what the culture seemed to be about. It should have been a testament to themselves and to the culture of youth that sprang from it that there is an inherit virtue throught it all.

Zclipze mentions its "so what happens now" but that was a musical performance piece - is this the main tune? Please help coz I really like it. Is it available on vinyl and/or CD? DVD would be even better. I really like the moves! It can be seen the dancers are INTO the music. Not like some of the the souless choreographed crap of today. Please help!

    I think you are widely misunderstanding the point. If you ever wore a baseball cap sideways, rocked baggy jeans ,adidas shoes or any of these types of fashion simply because you liked 'hip hop' then it is owed to people. Back then, they didnt simply wear those fashion to be 'cool' but rather for the statement of representing the culture. wat young cats dont understand theze dayz is that back then, they didnt have youtube n internet to copy style, they were REALLY SERIOUS about it & they lived it

    Having grown up and raised in San Francisco, the Mission district in the early 70s throughout the late 80s, during the 70s there were NO social interractions between young people of the kind as seen on 'Style Wars'. None. There was no scene where different races could socially interract and allow different talents, abilities, thoughts outside of institutions but especially not have a hang up on racial differences.
