Planet B-boy the Movie.
Hah! away from the usual Jay stuffs for now. Well any of you heard of the term bboy? or better known as breakdancing. Bboying is not all about doing handstands, freeze, air-chair, windmills, etc, it's not hiphop nor is it some violent sport. But rather, it's the attitude, the mind, the culture of expressing oneself through body language.
B-boying came from Bronx, NY. The term "B-boy" or "B-boying" was created by Kool Herc who was a DJ spinning at block parties in Bronx back in the days. B-Boys means break boys and they were called so because they dance to the break part of music.
Seriously, countries like Singapore really gets too little exposure from the foreign cultures. It's a small country, and people generally looked over it, so much so that we're limited to what we can do or see through the internet. Singapore is all about IT, technologies, education hubs, blah blah blah lah. But never much about creativity, dance, hip hop cultures until recent years.
Anyway here's an upcoming movie that i wanna share, and i would really really really wanna watch! But too bad, it will not be release in Singapore. It's all about the Bboy culture, how it came about and what it really is. For people that have interests in these area of dance, you'll sure to love this short movie trailer.
Real dope i would say for someone to come up with a documented movie like this. Anyway sorry if this doesn't fit any of the categories here, i would label it as rants. lol.

Anyway, after watching the clip, there are other clips available on the same window with small picture thumbnails. i would recommend watching "Planet bboy - korea", and any other Planet Bboy vids. They're all good, and from the same movie.
