Please, head on over to the tube of you and search The Rocksteady Crew Origins, B-Boys, colon, A History of Breakdance, Episode 1, and feel free to watch along.

In this 8-minute video, we're gonna hear more about the origins of breakdancing and how it evolved through the 70s.

It makes me so damn proud to be from New York.

Anyway, I'm gonna cry, and this is The Rocksteady Crew Origins, B-Boys, A History of Breakdance, Episode 1.

The first time that I saw anything similar to b-boying was on TV and then physically being there to see it done was first by my cousins up in the Bronx.

And I started seeing guys doing these corkscrew kind of spins and then going on the floor, doing a sweep and then popping up.

So the moves come from many different places, many different backgrounds.

The blurb going into this is in 1973, the Jamaican-born Clive DJ Kool Herc held his first block party in the Bronx, bringing the Jamaican sound system culture to America and inadvertently providing the first sparks that would ignite hip-hop.

For most of the 1970s, hip-hop remained an underground phenomenon within New York City as B-Boys learned to loop drum breaks from their favorite records with two turntables, breakdance to the music, and rhyme over it.

By the end of the decade, however, independent labels had begun to capture rap music.

And the studio and hip-hop quickly began to make noise as the new sound of Black America.

The article agrees with Frassani.

It says the most enduring of those tracks is built on an incredible bongo band

cover of Burt Weedon's Apache, a breakbeat so popular with the original B-Boys that it's been called hip-hop's national anthem.

Yeah, the original, the bongo band's Apache is that, not this.
