Almost never, unless you're the only one who does it. And even then, if someone more famous than you does it, then you're screwed because everyone will call you a biter.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about a signature move you're known to do.

This skirts the edges of the "biting" debate. Just because you consider a move your own cause of the way that it's incorporated into your sets, doesn't make any other bboy that uses it the same way a biter.

I consider a move my own if i've put my own variation or little adjustment to it.

If the move you're doing is the signature move of someone more well known than you, then people will call you a biter.

I'll just start off by saying the majority rappers today have no intention of supporting hip-hop culture. If you don't support the culture, then you aren't really hip-hop.

^^ For example if u make the Hong 10 Freeze ur signature move, ur obviously biting Hong 10.. but if u use it once or twice ur not biting him ur just doing his move..

and another example, threaded flares.. clearly a Lilou move

peace easy
