Breaking... Born at Kool D.J. Herc's House parties in the early '70s, catapulted to a worldwide phenomenon in the '80s, and now experiencing its latest gravity-defying incarnation as a thriving underground movement, "The Freshest Kids" brings to you the illest B-Boying this planet has ever witnessed. Over two hours of hardcore breaking gives you an all-access pass to the underground world of B-Boys spanning the last 25+ years. See and hear the early history via rare archival footage and exclusive interviews with The Nigga Twins, Spy (the man with 1000 moves), Rock Steady Crew icons Crazy Legs and Ken Swift, The New York City Breakers, Mr. Wiggles, Styelements and the world's most innovative B-boys of the next generation along with hip-hop legends Kool D.J. Herc, Afrika Bambaataa, KRS-One, Mos Def and many more as they come together to reveal for the first time the most comprehensive history of B-Boying, its evolution and its place within hip-hop culture and beyond. These are The Freshest Kids and this is their story!

Summary: THe Freshest Kids
Comment: If yo want to know the true history of B-Boying Well this is it. Footage in this movie is great form the Jams in the Bronx to seeing Kool Herc with giant speakers out of his car ii the 70's. This movie is an instant classic for true hip hop heads. I'm a 70's baby from the BX so this really hit home for me. Get it you wont be disappointed. PEACE - ONE

Summary: Interesting
Comment: I'm too young to really remember the full impact that the b-boy had on our culture. I remember watching my older cousin with wonder and enjoying everything he did. This is a great dvd, especially for those that don't know that much about b-boys.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good, but falls short in key areas.
Comment: The beginnings of bboying are covered very well with all the key players, but the international scene (which is at least as big as America's) gets a really superficial pass, as does the modern resurgence. The history of bboying should also include the present which is poorly represented without really much video or talk of the present greats. If the movie was "The Freshest Kids - The Origins of the B-Boy", it would be a 5-star film, but it falls short on giving a complete history.

Summary: Hip Hop 101
Comment: This is a great way to learn about the history of Hip Hop and The "B-Boy". I grew up listening to Hip Hop ( 1984 thru 1995 ). This DVD was accurate, educational and entertaining. True to what real Hip Hop and B-Boys are all about!!
Customer Rating:
Summary: This video is so dope!
Comment: I am a hardcore breakdancer and poplocker and this video totally broke down the history of all these styles. I feel like a professor now. For those who wanna take it past this and learn to actually dance like this, I highly recommend How To Do The Robot - Breakdance Instructional DVD or Top 20 Breakdance Moves on Amazon. They are the cream of the crop.
But you NEED this video if you are into breakdancing or hip-hop in general. This and Scratch are mandatory.
