Here is Remind rockin CIVIL LA: WOOT!

This weekend we had a chance to sponsor one of the illest bboy battles of all time: KMEL vs REMIND. For those of you that don’t know, both these guys were the Michael Jordan’s of bboying during their era.

These are my thoughts on the battle between two of the illest bboys of all time. I felt like Kamel wasn’t there the entire battle, it seemed that he was trying to rock it through the first round, but he wasn’t feeling the music. Remind, on the other hand rocked the hell out of that beat and showed us why bboys want to be him.

However, I didn’t find anything wrong with the music, it was perfectly rockable. When you are one of the best, and bboys have looked up to you for the better part of a decade there is no excuse on why you can’t dance to the beat the best you can. Kamel told the DJ to cut the music after four rounds, I think both these masters of their art were trying to send a message to bboys: that true bboying takes place in a cypher and not in an exhibition. We don’t dance for money or fame but for ourselves. But this message came of more like Kamel didn’t want to dance.

Highlights from the clip :
1.)Remind rockin that 90 at 2:16 on the second version of the clip.

2.)Remind’s dancing (Overall)

3.) Kmel’s flip into footwork at the beginning of the battle.
