Youtube respect.

Its been a while since my last blog post. Have been thinking about new topics and i think this might be something my fellow colleges might wonder about too. 

First of all i want to give a big shout out to all the people that write me emails and chats with me on facebook about watching yall clips to give sum advices. I think its a huge honor to have an opinion that people want to hear. BUT. Its just something thats been bothering me for a while, is that how people ask you to put time to look at their clips. I mean i understand if your english aint the best but try to make a conversation with the person you say you respect so much. I want to help but Its not really friendly to tell someone to do something and then expect the other person to do as u say and put time into your needs if you aint putting time in it your self. 

 I mean i dont think you want to get an answer as short and cold as your "order", something like " practice more" u feel me?? 

I might be Old school with this. Im not asking for ass licking. Im simply asking people to take their time and make a conversation about what you want to talk about. 

Im not a puppet who helps people just because we are all a big bboy family. 

I understand that we live in a youtube era right now and its cool. Like many have already said youtube as in many others too have a pull and push. You learn faster but you loose originality. It CAN be a win win situation. 

Respect to all. I know you all mean well. Just something i was wondering.

Giving all you got.

Most of the people gets confused when there is a saying do what you love and give it a 100 precent.

It is very very true that to want something it requires the best and the most of you. Im talking about big things. Putting time into your passion is very personal. You build yourself and what you want in the future.
So what you really do not want to do is hurry with things. Give your passion and you a lot of time. You strive to a fact that you do not want to get married more then once. Mistakes are allowed they are the ones that shows you where your limits are. Try your limits and learn from then.


It is understandable that In a lot of hobbies and passions many people get so into it, that they get so called "drunk" or "high"of it. Everything is about it and everything is about you. Which shows that you really want it and you want to be the best at it. GOOD. But passion can also be deadly. If you learn to control it its all good.
Many people lets the passion take over and everything around it starts falling apart. The dear things that supports your passion. Friends, understanding etc. Thats when the "hang over" of being "drunk" comes in full effect.

Many times when you are passionate about your "thing" you get really protective. You make sure everybody understands what you are passionate about. Like you know everything about it if someone asks about it. You even wear shirt with text to make sure everyone knows where you belong and what you represent. But usually the people that knows their stuff speaks less about it. There is nothing wrong about talking out loud about what you love. Some people just really want everyone to know how much they love there passion. Passion is already love.

Also one thing that i have been thinking is that almost everyone is so disgusted about the new school rap videos and famous peoples money show off. Showing of their bling and telling how much they have money and how awesome their good life is. Well a lot of people do exactly the same but in a smaller scale. Showing off all the time how Ruff they are or how well they are dressed. Telling everyone how cool they are and how not to "fuck with me". What i have done here and there and so on. But when someone with money and someone who made it says the same they are bragging and talking out of their minds. " ouh he lost it when he got famous"  Well this is a little magnification of the subject. Everything can be done in style. :D


You can only judge your self. In the end its still you that represent your self. Be smart about it.
Passion is a gift. Imagine life without it.

The BOX.

Well some days have passed since my last post. Its time to talk again about some important things that has been bothering me for a while. This is about how people teach one another. Im meaning how people teach anything. How you propose your way of thinking to people.

Well for example if you teach some one about dancing or singing or what ever, you want to purpose the idea of the real essence to your student. You want your student or just someone you talk to understand the way its supposed to be.

Well dont we all do that?

Many people dont really suggest the idea. They usually just tell them what to do and what not to do. Its important to be told how basics is done and why they are basics. How did the basics become like this. To find the essence of your art is to find your self. The key element is the foundation in what you do. I think everyone can agree with that. You learn a basic to make you understand the movement. Make you move the "right way".
But many people approach with negative attitude. Saying that "this is the right way" or " thats wack, dont do that". Everyone is different. Everyone needs to find their limits.

For example. In this dance (bboying/breakdance). People always tell you to be original. Find your way and bring something to the table. Thats basic info. But usually a lot of teachers bring their students into the box. The best ones knows how to get out of the box. But for some people its better if you purpose and idea. You recommend these things to them instead of disallowing them to do something else otherwise Its like putting other ones down to make you shine.

I was thought the way to dislike many people to FIGHT THE POWER. I was told not to like a certain style or a country so your / our style will stay in the real essence box. Well i learned a lot from these teachers. I still learn. But i was also scarred for life. Trying to work my way out of this made me stronger. But a lot of people cant do that.

Well that was your time to learn foundation??

Yes. It was my time to learn the essence and it was a great school. Im still in that school. Learning always. I Made many friends and many many enemies. Simply because "they didnt do it the right way".
Instead of trying to understand them and learning from them and them learning from you. Its funny to diss someone but its not that funny to be dissed. Well thats normal in anything you do. No one is a saint.

Give your students what you have and help them find their way. The ones that keeps it "Real" will always keep it "Real". You cant really teach anyone to "feel it". But you can teach people to relax and show them that doing you, will share more light.

I think the bboying scene in the world has taken a great step up on the teaching part. A lot of people we looked up to is coming to you now with great energy and willing to teach. Im glad workshops are filled with people and dance schools are really putting effort in the dance part of Hip Hop.
This is not a i love everyone speech, is more like the same "truth" can be told in many ways. Just find the right way to for the right people.

Peace.

Style.

Style/charisma is something every one can have but sum are just born with it.  You agree?

Well what is style?

To me its the extra spice some people just have. The way you walk and the way you talk. 

What comes out of you when you least expect it. You have a way no one else haves. 

Makes it special. Im talking about things you cant wear or buy. 

When you ask about style people usually hit you with the " yo, thats fresh, nice sneakers" type of line. 

Well what style to me is the character. I know this might be "old news" but i dont think people with the real deal style gets enough credit.

For this style i think you need a good sense of knowledge and understanding of yourself  the ones next to you. 

Being that dude or girl that is always on point with him/her self and finds the way to come trough with out pushing it. 

Style is not clothing, style is not something you can prove to another person. Its something inside you.

Its something you just have.

Can you buy style??

Well like i said before its inside you but its in all of us. Some people finds its easy and for some people its hard to get out. Everyone of us has a soul. The hardest part is to find it inside you. Some people write soul. Some people sings soul. Some people dance soul. We search our soul trough the art forms we do.

With the confidence and the extra spice we get with it is the proof people see in us. Its called style. 

For sum people buying style means buying a nice car what is proven to get you laid. That type of style

is what most people know. There are just some people who understand about style and figured it out. 

But dont get me wrong, money is very well needed when "getting" style. 

Get style by traveling, learning and experience. Why do you think usually the old people are more funky and have that style. They have many years behind them and enough courage to do what they really want. And who is holding them back anymore.? :D 

What about clothing style.??

Well clothing is something we wear and prove to people more or less what we represent. 

For me i respect the people who wear what they really want. Some people really want to wear the same stuff thats pushed in your face not to stand out from the crowd. Some people likes to wear what there feelings take them. Clothing is another way to get confidence with in you and show others something. But inside feelings dont lie. You wear the "sure shot" clothing to a party and you wonder why you end up alone. But after a practice with sum really shitty clothing not showered smelly thing going on, you find someone. Well its not proven that its like that every time but it has happen to all of us i think.

Style with in the Dance??

In the dance its about the same thing. You learn and you practice. You travel and you experience new things with in the dance. You train basics to be able to move and then you train "personal moves" to get noticed. You go back to the start every now and then with new thoughts and ideas. Its a circle. 

You train years and then you try to figure out the dance. What it is and what can i do with it.

You figure it out and then you really start to express. You develop a style. It comes inside of you. 

There are things like " fashion" that can miss lead you. But every experience is part of it. Good ones and bad ones. You have idols and a legacy to carry on. But in the end you are always alone with the dance. 

You and your body decides what you do.

This is just something that popped in my head. 

I just see style as a individual greatness that can be reached. Some people might have it more the others but its just to find what you are all about. Then you create a style people look up to.
