I come from the Breakdance Era. That's right - the STREETS. Not really, but I was dancing on the
streets. Things were different in
1984. Breakin', Breakin' 2 - Electric
Boogaloo and linoleum mats on my driveway....
Back in the day, I wanted to windmill into your heart and then totally beat
your ass with a tight Top-Rock while I was only in 3rd grade.
More than that, I wanted to beat box like a champ. I still do this while at home, at work, for
my son... I never stop. Like Turbo, I
just won't quit.
I've been hovering the
proverbial Breakin' broom over
my household in an effort to continue the passion sound that is the Ozone of
subculture. Even Shooter McGavin gets it. Bobby McFerrin has nothing on this.
My favorite battle is Skiller vs. Alem in the Beatbox Championship of 2012. See it here and realize that you really need a good sound system to hear the spectrum of sound frequency:
Skiller has a record deal, believe it or not. I consider both to be massively talented. Here is Alem doing some work at home with a metronome. Incredible:
But then... They get together again!
One of my other favorites is Reeps One:
I cook, yes. But I also clean it up with some fresh beats in my kitchen while I do so. Curries go well with a fresh beat. To top it off, here is a nice combo from several beat boxers at the last championship. The All Stars Jam:
