Davy DMX - One For The Treble (Originals B-Boy Dedication Video)

[Whitebrowpriest]

Growing up during these times, at the birth, infancy, and adolescence of Rap and Hip-Hop culture is a blessing that cannot be duplicated.

I grew up in Brooklyn New York, when these type of songs hit the radios, I worked so hard at 15 yrs old to get my first DJ set. I am still at 40 years later.

[Musical.Maze.]

I'm 59... I was in New York in 1984 and radio stations were playing the song in heavy rotation! I was lucky to find a 12" single from the legendary dj store Vinyl Mania Records! This song STILL ROCKS! Thanks for the video!

How could anyone dislike this classic piece of history.

I am 50 and when I look back at this period in time I believe it was the closest we ever got to being together as a society other than the 60's which no decade in my opinion could surpass. What brought us together you ask? The music, dancing, embracing each other and accepting each other for who we were back then, which some of us are still trying to figure out to this day. I guess all we can do is look back to this period as a teaching moment in time when we could all or some of us at least the ones who enjoyed the music no matter what, rock, jazz, metal, rap, pop, punk, country, polka, and we all liked to move our asses on the dance floor, it was my way of releasing some pressure along with a few other extra curricular activities that were going on behind the scenes if you catch my drift. Finally when I reflect on my youth the one thing I do miss is my youthfulness and innocence because most of the time I went into a lot of situations without any preconceived agenda's or internet we only had each other and the good thing about that is I do see the youth today travel in packs as we did and that kept me and most of my friends out of harms way more than I can ever recall as I look back. Man, though I wish I was 17 again and be able to do the windmill kicks and spinning as we did on cardboard back in the We really didn't know how good we had it until we get older, but at least we were there that's all that

Why doesn’t this song have a million likes yet? This is music and dancing at its best. This is what true definition of real is.

Oldschool back then was the best you can't beat the beats

[damanu]

This video touches my heart. I'm 54 and growing up in New York city back then was truly the best experience i could of had. I'm so proud to have lived there back in those days. It made me the man I am today. Wish things were as simple these days.

Back in the biblical days of HIP-HOP when we were creating the culture. Everyone in this video is HIP-HOP royalty... Major props to the original DMX for cutting this vinyl "DOWN TO THE BONE"... "Free Style Breakers" Springfield, Massachusetts.

I was born in 82 in the bronx and had a taste of a great era. Live

These were truly my Glory Days right here! I ran away to New York in 1985 to find my cousins and grandparents on Christmas Eve and, I got to meet the New York City Breakers, they even gave me a record to take back home to Michigan with me taught me a few moves powerful paxtor was something else but Mr wave he was the one that I focused on the most with top rocking but, all of them with due respect had a gift! and I don't believe anyone in this world ever matched up to them! with much due respect to the Rock Steady Crew who are just as hard on the Dance Floor! I love you all because y'all are living legends and a tribute to True b-boys MCs and DJs! This was truly one of the greatest moments in my life! At the age of 14 in 1983 I had already been studying flipping sides on the turntables listening to Grandmaster Flash The Furious Five, Afrika Bambaataa, Soul Sonic Force, Kurtis Blow, Davey d, spoonie gee, schooly d, T La- Rock, the three MCs just to name a few I still have all of my records in mint condition!many crates! So thanks to television in our family stereo system with help for my cousin in Brooklyn Sam the man I had already started b-boying in Pontiac Michigan back in 1983 at 14 years old, everybody used to love when I brought my ghetto Blaster around that thing took 16 D batteries and it had to be at least two and a half feet long it was the biggest one of my mother could find for me dressed up in My Adidas, my silkies with my Kangol and cazals on. And if it wasn't that it was my Pumas with the wide laces, I always had to match! this just brings back really good memories the real deal which pushed me to become a DJ and a damn good one too even at 48 now I'm still pushing and shovin! Much love to my old school music lovers that truly know about the real hip hop culture and where it originated we used to battle with dancing, rapping and DJing!! instead of fighting most of the time but you still had to know how to throw them things when it came down to it! It was like spring and summer then compare to a dark winter which is now!DJ "TERRY.T"!

Legendary track

[DJWerkz]

At 53 my joints are wrecked from all the dance moves in the 80’s but what glorious memories, ...and this track never gets old for me, one of my top 5 all time Hip Hop/Electro tracks

[acevedo]

That's me at 4:39 in the video, that shot was taken at the jam, in Saint Michael's church Brooklyn. The few places that at the time you can practice. Breaking, rapping, and hip hop in general. If I'm not mistaken the year was 1983. We were there to battle, The floor masters. The Body Mechanics. Pop-n-spin, and pop with style, those were the names of just the crews that I remembered, a whole bunch of different breaking crews showed up.
