CoolMF

Rest in power to this legend and innovator. Not that I was a break dancer by any stretch, but I always loved this dude's moves as he and Boogaloo Shrimp were the coolest pop-lockers. His moves in that 1st dance battle in Breakin (the intro where he does the body wave in a cirlce and popping while stepping with his hands in front) were the best.

Ironic and sad to see so many of the original breakers passing away before seeing it as an Olympic competition.
