B-Boy classics

Here's some songs that were popular with pop locking and breakdancing.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

What's wrong with that? Popping was what they did in the 1970's.

Well most people think what Michael Jackson does is the moonwalk, but it's really the glide. A moonwalk is doing a similar move with the feet, but in a circle. The camelwalk is doing the glide foward.

lol, but dude...popping and locking REALLY are two different styles of dancing. You can't really compare them to each other. wink

Anyway, these might not be classics but I do think their good for Breakdancing:
