Uprock Clip - Page 2

PJAY71 · 10-05-2005, 01:46 PM

Ahh... I know what you're talking about now.

No, that's not mixing, that's Wak's style of Toprock. You have to remember that King Uprock was one of Wak's first influences - and he has various Toprock styles. So, when you see him perform the same or similar steps in Rocking... it's just his Freestyle.

When we refer to "actually mixing" it's more of performing watered-down, poor Jerks and repeated poor Burns while Toprocking in a Bboy battle.

I hope you understand... it's hard sometimes to explain without a visual.

Peace

roger that, thanks for the explanation Pjay. I'm pretty sure I understand this a lot better now. He definitely wasn't doing burns and jerks in his toprock in that clip, it was just a lot of other similar steps and movements that he was doin in both styles of rocking that i wasnt sure if that kind of overlap was the part of what you were talking about in the other thread. I think wak's toprock is amazing, so cool to watch. T

hanks for the reply, I've learned a great deal from your posts.

man diz sht is important and tedious to learn cuz not too many ppl can master this venue of hiphop but these variations of rocking look awesome...especially if u pull these in front of a bunch of frontin c walkin/b hopping pplz lmao...or jus go clubbing

STIFF_UK · 10-28-2005, 02:02 PM

I dunno if I'm reading your post right, but it shouldn't be tedious.

It's not even important in a "you have to learn it" sense.
You only have to learn this if you WANT to rock. There's nothing about bboying that requires someone to learn to uprock.
Only do it if you want to.

Nice clip, thanks for that. Does anybody know what that song is playing in the background?

ayo that clip was dope, that kid wak one nice yo he real dope, i think its safe 2 say ive never seen any1 uprock like that, good if not the best, if any1 think differently, post a clip or summtin, i also wanna say, if u serious about bboyin, work on your uprock, it doesnt have 2 be the best, just put your own flavor into it, ive seen bboy fliks where nikkas got the stiffest, top rocks ive everseen, but got powermoves, and that shit wak to me, anyway keep doin ya thing, chek me out at: http://www.myspace.com/massproduce
peace.

PJAY71 · 11-07-2005, 10:19 AM

If you think Wak is dope... you gotta come to ur jams and see the original Brooklyn cats Rock.

Peace

STIFF_UK · 11-07-2005, 06:53 PM

And tho it's been mentioned before, there's nothing that says bboys need to learn uprock.

If a bboy has stiff or wack toprocks, then they need to work on their tops, not uprock.

JBizzy · 11-08-2005, 02:00 AM

I`m a hop skip away from bk, let me know where ya be thowin jams at, i`ll come chek ya one day. Pjay, you got anymore clips? yea if you a bboy, you got 2 have the complete package, cause if all u got is powermoves(dont wanna mention names) u gotta go back 2 the basics. You could do a windmill 2 handspin, do a triple backflip and land on your head while u stay spinning, then that shit incridible, but if it look sloppy with no flavor, then you need 2 start hittin the cardboard more often, big up ken swift<

Thanks for the info, and I just want to say that I learned a lot from this post and previous posts you have made. You guys generate good responses, and it is things like that that make the learning experience smoother and more enjoyable. Excellent work, PJay and Stiff.
