Life in pursuit of Education and Breaking

I really appreciate people who not only take part in the hip hop culture but also invest in developing it and nurturing it. Sometimes, all it takes is to say a few words of wisdom. It’s the concept of Each One Teach One but in our computer age present, this One can mean a whole community. I’m in far-away New Zealand at the bottom of the world, but stumbling across an article from BboySpot, a tweet by Cros1 and a Zeshen interview, the answers to my questions were laid bare before me.

As I near the end  of my degree, my parents had constantly hoped I stop dancing and focus on my career. My parents brought up two good points: first, breaking may just be one of those things I’d grow out of eventually, and second, change is always expected at different phases in life. It’s either stop now, or stop eventually.

I found myself somewhat in a state of crisis. One just doesn't give up what they love especially when they've been doing it for a long time. I talked it out with a friend and consulted others, and they were of huge help, but when it came to processing my thoughts, I still found myself slightly confused.

Don't judge the Judge | Bboy Born

This video is so gratifying to watch. Not only because of the context in which the battle began but also the hype and the crowd that fed the whole atmosphere. I know the "atmosphere" was kind of tense, and a bit biased, but it was a true bboy battle in the sense that beef was settled where it belonged - the floor.

So what is it all about? After the battle between Vagabonds and Flow Mo during Hip Opsession 5 in which Flow Mo took the win, Vagabonds felt they were judged unfairly. Judging the event was Nacera, Cros 1 and Born. Youssef of Vagabonds decided to call the judges out and Born stepped up to represent them. A different story says that Youssef specifically called Born out. The result? See for yourself...
