Sydney Street Stylin' - 7 bboys, a bgirl and 2 trickers

April 14th 2008 14:07
Cibby threw up a nice post yesterday about a short video I sent him that my boyfriend made with 7 bboys, a bgirl and 2 trickers. I want to give this video as much exposure as I can because I really love it and not because i'm biased either - see for yourself. It sends chills down my spine each time I watch it, the music is fitting and adds to a "film noir"-type mood. It highlights the best that Sydney has to offer both in local artistic and physical talent; the classic backdrop is shown in a beautiful, different light to what you'd normally see during the busy city days and the slovenly nightlife.

For a moment it doesn't feel like Sydney, but an older, distant place in Europe. Far from the usual picturesque postcards of Bondi Beach, koalas or the Sydney Opera House, the dim glow of the view from the street level is reminiscent of the lifestyles of the same street dancers and trickers in the video - our underground community. Some struggle for recognition and respect from the broader community, others becoming nonchalant after trying for so long.

Enjoy, and show some love

On another note, directly after the end scene in this video, a man was hit by a Lexus at the intersection before the traffic lights turned green. He flipped into the air and landed smack on the pavement, blood gushing out of his head. A rush of pedestrians who witnessed the accident ran to his assistance and to the car that hit him, carrying a bunch of guys wanting to show off after seeing all the filming going on. They were screaming at the people in the car, "DON'T MOVE!!! STAY THERE! WE'RE CALLING THE POLICE!!!" I think the guy who got hit survived, although we're not sure. I hope he is ok, and if he finds this post, please email or comment to let us know you're ok.

KRS ONE & Marley Marl - Hip Hop Lives - CD Review

July 6th 2007 01:09
krs one marley marl hip hop lives review

If you haven't copped this album or heard the track "Hip Hop Lives (I Come Back)" from these two great Hip Hop philosophers, then check it.

"Hip means to know
It's a form of intelligence
To be hip is to be up-date and relevant
Hop is a form of movement
You can't just observe a hop
You got to hop up and do it
Hip and Hop is more than music
Hip is the knowledge
Hop is the movement
Hip and Hop is intelligent movement"



I thought I'd add in Cibby's review of the album:

Hip Hop Lives is the album that fans have been eagerly awaiting for 20 years now… it marks the end of one of the earliest hip hop beefs around, between KRS-One and Marley Marl. Critics were sniffing out the potential of this album back in the day, but, now, in 2007, Marl and The Teacha have finally let old habits die and collaborated.

It’s a response, apparently, to Nas’ album, Hip Hop is Dead, and several tracks on the album suggest that KRS-One wants to push it back to the good spot. The G-Thang Spot, if you will.

But I felt that this album is a more paternalistic record from these two… KRS-One lays it down in ‘I Was There’, essentially pointing out to all the young rappers out there, fronting and perpetrating, that him and Marley Marl were getting it all started, back in the day.

And on that note, it feels a little too preachy at times… KRS never fails to shine on mic, with that deep, monstrous voice, and rhymes that feel so established that it’s like they’ve been extracted from some ancient Nubian texts. While he may have the credentials to lecture us to death, is that what you really want to listen to?

Eh, I can forgive a little bit of angry-father from The Teacha to get a head full of those Marley beats… reminds me of that old Juice Crew stuff, with a darker, more ominous tone. It’s all good, though, and, thankfully, the skits are kept down to an absolute minimum, and are easily skipped on the CD.

It took a long time for the feud to be settled, but KRS and Marl have finally put out this album… years too late, several pounds too far, and at a time when them young kids in the club are going ‘KRS-Who?’… nonetheless, it’s an album that deserves praise for its sheer craftsmanship, like watching a old, gnarled carpenter making a beautiful chair out of maple.

Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars

Krump Kings Tour - Sydney

April 12th 2007 04:22

Hey Guys its Chux, Just gonna show you the review for the Krump Kings tour when it came down to Australia. I posted the same one on moob, but had to do some editing, so here's the raw, straight from my mind version.

Krump Kings was phenomenal. Can i say that before we start?
Not phenomenal as in aliens landing on earth and making contact.
More like phenomenal in say, those aliens knowing secrets of space travel and teaching us all some stuff that we just didn’t know before.
Change Aliens to Tight Eyez and space travel to Krump Dancing and you’ve got it right there.

A few performances preceded Krump Kings, Psalms came out to do a showcase, as well as an onstage freestyle showcase, which I was happy to be a part of. Caramell came out and did their thing as well.

Now enter the Krump Kings. Instead of a straight out show at first, they decided to call out 3 of Sydney’s finest krumpers for a battle with the eyez family, as well as 2 female krumpers to take the stage.

Anyway, The battle starts. The energy was amazing at this point. 10 Security guards holding the crowd back as we cheer and go nuts at the battle taking place. I’ll admit I have a couple of issues about the 3 people Sydney chose, namely that, can I just say that out of the so called 3 of Sydney's finest... there was only one good krumper there. The others were wack. I'm not just saying that because Scrappy is my boy and he's in my crwew, but he was the only raw talent there. It should've been him, bojla, and either me or johnny K vs the Krump Kings. Instead we got 1 good krumper and 2 wack dudes. Anyway.

Workshops were good and did a lot for the Sydney Krump scene. That being said, I know I'm gonna be seeing wack dudes all year biting Krump Kings moves and not realising that originality is key.

Highlight of the night was the session. All the people who had a name for themselves in the Sydney krump scene.... and a few who didnt... were in that circle and going off as the Eyez family watched from the stage and made commentary. I did a couple of sets myself, hyped up by tight eyez himself as I krumped my way through that circle. I’ve talked about the energy like 10 times already but whatever it was before, was nothing compared to the energy in that circle.

Finished the night off with some inspirational speeches by Big Tight Eyez himself, then headed off to recuperate and rest up. If you are a Krumper frlom Sydney, and missed out... I almsot feel sorry for you.

Ok so this video has been up for over a year. SO?!?! I'm delayed.

Dancing: the downside (back from hiatus)

October 24th 2006 00:00
I originally posted this on my Dancing blog, but this is for those who read my Hiphop blog only...

Yes I know, I'm sorry. Several people have wondered if I had fallen off the face of the earth after the lack of posts on any of my blogs for a while (that is, about a month). What brings me back from hiatus is ironically, a broken back.

When I first got into blogging, I was enthusiastic, passionate, dedicated like a first year university student who wouldn't miss a class or lecture, ask for an extension on an assessment or plagiarize.

Then you start getting busier and busier with extra curricular activities that your parents don't find any potential in, career-wise, but you do them anyway because you've convinced yourself to follow your heart or be stuck with a life you absolutely despise. The frequency of your blogging decreases as you adopt a more "less talk, more action" view on life and you find yourself on stage with a drag queen in front of thousands of half-naked gay men and women (wait for future post "SLEAZEBALL" to be written after my rant).

All of a sudden, BAM, you crack your back, having what is described as a hernia of the spinal disc in your lower back and you're told it takes on average six months to recover (although it's never cured and you'll be stuck with back problems for the rest of your life).

Spinal Disc Herniation (Wikipedia)
Spinal Disc Herniation (Wikipedia)


Spinal Disc Herniation (Wikipedia)
MRI scan (not mine) of a spinal herniation
With doctor's orders to avoid sitting down at all times, besides abstaining from most physical activities, you find yourself at the computer again, thinking now what the f--- do I do? So back to blogging it is.

I never thought I'd ever take dancing as more than something fun to do once in a while; I never thought it would take me this far, to becoming a somewhat professional dancer with no technical jazz, ballet, tap training; I never thought I would perform along celebrities, win competitions or travel because of it; I never thought it would become my life.

Still, there's no use crying over spilt milk (or in this case, my spilt spinal disc) and it's not like I lost any limbs or had severe spinal injuries preventing me from walking, let alone dancing again.

Maybe it's just a sign that it's time for me to take a break anyway, after going all hard out for the last two years, and it came at a time when DJing is just starting to make its way into my life (although I can't bend over so changing the vinyls can be a bitch).

A friend of mine suggested I focus on Popping (old school funk style of dance) - not a bad idea but my first choice would be Hiphop or Locking, or some Breaking.

The timing does suck though, since I've had to pull out of the national Shakedown urban dance competition in Melbourne, next weekend, but regardless, I'll still rock up with my crew, in uniform and all, cheering them from backstage.

This experience has made me thankful that I have things to fall back on, like my university studies in non-dance-related areas and it makes me wonder what full-time professional dancers do when they're physically injured to a point that it completely stops them from dancing...?

On another note, my physiotherapist is extremely hot, but I'm pretty sure he's gay. Not that I'm looking anyway...

An interview with the man behind Ozfunkstylist.com

October 12th 2006 02:50
The hiphop and funk dance community in Australia is relatively small, but somewhat significant. It's constantly growing due to the popularity of R&B/Hiphop music videos in this country, as well as the need to impress not just by what you wear, but how you move on the dancefloor.

Kids as young as 12 are getting into the old school funk styles - popping, locking and boogaloo more than in previous years, where bboying/bgirling (breakdancing) was the more popular choice.

Until recently there hasn't been any online communities, forums, sites for hiphop dancers in Australia, with the exception of Ozbboy.com which caters for bboys only. In the past few months, owner of Ozbboy.com launched str33tlevel.com to cater for hiphop dancers; Funkstyler.com was released last month as a Youtube-style site specifically for funk style videos; now comes Ozfunkstylist.com which is a combination of the previous two, as a growing online community for the fans of funk.

I got in touch with the creator of Ozfunkstylist.com, Sheru (aka Morax) who's based in Brisbane and has big plans for his funky project.

1. What is Ozfunkstylist.com? Why did you create it?

Ozfunkstylist.com was created as the central community hub for the Australian street dance scene. Although it is designed around dancers of the funk styles (ie Popping, Locking, House etc), it's open to anybody!

It's a place where dancers can get together and share ideas, thoughts, clips, organise events and meetups, or basically anything that a bunch of dancers from around the country would want to discuss!

On the more personal side, members can create their own profile, write a blog about themselves or their dancing to share with others, find and add friends, send each other private messages, and much much more.

Content on the site is ever expanding, with plans to put in much more readable, viewable and interactive content. There's also many interviews already readable, by some of Australia's and the world's top funk stylists!

Check it out, membership is and always will be free!


2. What's your favourite style? Tell us about your previous dance experience.

My favourite styles are Popping and all its sub styles, but mainly Boogaloo, Botting, Waving, Cobra, Strobing. Also Locking, and whether you want to say it's a standalone style or not, Liquid. Even though those are the styles I like to do the most, I enjoy watching all forms of street dance, and many contemporary styles too.

I started dancing in around April 2005, when our dance studio Industrie One (www.industrieone.com.au) first opened.

For the first few months, I was taught by one of Queensland's top animation style poppers - Chuck, whose botting is the most inhuman thing ever!

After that, in about August of 2005, I was lucky enough to be taught one on one by a Korean dancer for about 6 months. He was taught Popping by Jin (from KOGS), and Locking by Khan (from Originality Lockers).

Now, I teach both Popping and Locking at Industrie One, and have also formed a crew called Shift-1 (website coming soon!).


3. Who inspires you?

A lot of people inspire me. My very first inspiration to start dancing was LPEric, who is famous for his arcade liquid clip circulating around the Internet.

Since then, my inspirations have included Acki for his feeling and clean style, Salah for his creativity and crowd involvement, Aquaboogy for his waves, P-Lock for being able to radiate funk, Khan for his ability to lock to anything, Mike (from France) for his control and intricacy, and many more - the list would be way too long to put here! All good dancers are an inspiration to me.


4. Do you do anything else besides running this site and dancing?

Yes, I normally work full time, although have taken a break recently to get ozfunkstylist.com released. Also I'm working hard with a friend to launch a new business over the next few months!


5. What do you think about Krump and the new style from Harlem, the Chicken Noodle Soup? (By the way, I don't consider CNS as a Hiphop dance style).

I'm a big fan of the newer styles of Hiphop dance, in fact I usually take classes each week! It's interesting to see the differences in the oldschool musicality compared to the newschool, and learning both would certainly make anybody a better dancer!

Krump is certainly an interesting style. From what I've actually seen and experienced of it, it's also very difficult! Will be interesting to see how it progresses over the next few years.

Chicken Noodle Soup.. Now here folks, is the next big thing - the future of not just street dance, but ALL dance! Speaking of which.. It's dinner time..

Peace and Noodles for all!

Youtube-style sites for porn and funk style dancing

September 12th 2006 15:26
Yes Youtube-like sites have popped up (hehehe) in porn and dance versions - funk styles, that is.

The beta version of Pornotube (whose motto reads, "Fuck Around") features a small range of adult videos, with mostly brief, amateur clips that are (for now) free for fiewing. There's the option of filtering gay and straight porn, pay-per-minute for the full length movies, and similar features to good ol' Youtube. I won't include a video on here, you'll just have to find your own way there.

Then there's Funkstyler.com for the old school hiphop dance fanatics. It was released only this month, and specialises in funk styles - popping and locking. So far it has a knowledge base giving brief information on the history of the styles, as well as several categories; last time I checked, they were (numbers in brackets show number of videos in each category):

* Battles (6)
* Commercials (7)
* Locking (5)
* Music Videos (1)
* Performances (4)
* Popping (7)
* Tutorials and Lessons (3)

I'm sure I've posted this video on this site before, but here it is again, courtesy of Funkstyler.com. It's the Gene Kelly "Singing in the Rain" remix for the Volkswagon ad.

*NOTE: I changed the video from Funkstyler.com to Youtube since the coding makes the video automatically play, and it gets quite annoying everytime you load the site.
