Question to Hip Hop Heads!!!.....I had a convo with my dude at practice the other day and we discussed my feelings on my beginnings as a BBoy in Worcester, Ma, Breaking to Freestyle Music, Electro Funk & why. I started with Freestyle cause I always had a thing with Electro sounds with some funky hard break blended with it. I later realized why I breaked to Freestyle/Latin Hop(NYCs way of calling it), Club House(Masss way of calling it back then maby just Springfield then again) since it had a Hip hop elements to it....Nowadays I learned how to seperate the Dance/Music styles of music which im very thankful for cause it was tough to understand the differences between them and what styles of dance to the music is goes with..... My boy said he always preffered to break to Breaks cause it just has the funky BBoy feeling behind it which I totally understand. He also said to me that Freestyle to him was a soft rapping version of music which was told to him by older folks who come from the true old school era which I found halarious sense it makes a little sense but I kinda disagreed to. Electro & Electro Funk makes sense to Pop to sense it has that robotic feel to it but somehow, I like to Break to E-Funk and some Freestyle here n there(sense some are funky enough to break to) because in the end of the day it comes from Kraftwerk(which isnt my point yet) & the Track Planet Rock(birth of E-Funk and Bambaataas, Authur Baker & John Robbies approach to a new experimental sound which is my point) cause it has that NYC feel to Go-Off to besides the Break itself. Im kinda tired of heads automatically thinking that Planet Rock and any E-Funk sound along with a few Freestyle tracks here n there that sound hard arent considered beats to Break to, just to Pop/Boogie to. Im kool with the fact that Both styles(E-Funk & Electro) are also considered to get Girls just to get down and loose to(wich my man Joel Adam Morales mentioned to me once)......my Question is this: Should us B-Boys dance to just Breaks or can we at least dance to some Funky Freestyle tracks along with some dope ass E-Funk(which also had that BreakBeat Element to as well)????.........Alot of Old School footage has heads breaking to E-Funk to say the least along with Breaks obviously. Freestyle obviously was born a bit after unless heads wanna consider Shannon, C-Bank and a few other songs to be considered as early day beginning of the Freestyle sound......Please help me out here and be open minded yall.
