Too White Crew performs all songs 100% live and their Fly Girls remind the crowd of all the moves from "back in tha day". "Got Cred?" Too White Crew is the only band in this Millennium to perform at the Playboy Mansion and has even been called "The Playboy Mansion's Favorite Band" They've performed in Las Vegas and have shared stages with Tone Loc, Naughty By Nature, Vanilla Ice, Digital Underground, Rob Base & DJ EZ Rock, and many more. The whole stage show is a spectacle beyond anything offered in any other band. There is also an optional "Brass Funkeez" horn section, the "Ice Breakerz" break dancers and even TWC's "Extremely Worthless Posse" - three guys who sit on stage and do absolutely nothing except play bones and drink Hennessey. Formed in 2002, this eight-piece all-live tribute (complete with choreographed Fly Girls!) to the Golden era of hip hop brings an energetic performance that drops jaws at festivals, clubs, corporate and private events all over the country. There does, though, seem to be something about the rhythms in Grand Master Flash's mixes that brings all the dancers out of the wood works.Too White Crew is one of the most unique tribute/party band concepts in the world. 'We Rock Hard' is a good dancing album, featuring 'Breaker Beats Part 1 & 2', 'B-Boy Stance' and 'The Darkside'. Their songs often vary in style quite widely. They're a bit faster paced, kinda clubby, dubby, reggae, almost verging on DnB, but definitely dancing music. Generally hip-hop, but beat-orientated, faster moving, and definitely avoiding the typical 'club hip-hop'. Some of the tunes we loved dancing to were Chemical Brothers – Galvanise, Bomfunk mc's – Freestyler (clichéd I know), Daft Punk – One More Time, any mix by Z-Trip, Q-Bert, Krafty Kuts, Dj Shadow, Babu, Dj Woody, Diplo, Dj Format. When I was learning, we would have Jurassic 5 and Tribe Called Quest blaring out most, but not all of the time. Whilst this late '80s, early '90s kind of hip-hop, and the breaks from the '70s, were the bread and butter of dancers and crews back then, you shouldn't limit yourself to this period. It's worth noting that most of these suggestions are from the golden-age of breakdancing.

While the costumes aren't much better, many of the dancers are ( quite a few were plucked from the Bronx), and some of the performances (from folks like Grandmaster Flash and Doug E.

It's probably got some of the highest quality Fab 5 Freddy recordings available anywhere.īeat Street was New York's answer to Breakin'.

Wild Style recently celebrated it's 25th anniversary (and the Movie and Soundtrack were re-released, complete with an instrumental bonus disc (!!)).

Which means it's really fun to watch, but I wouldn't say that it would give you much insight into the music (given that most of the soundtrack is by the short-lived Duo of Ollie & Jerry). It is to breakdance culture what The Warriors was to gang warfare, and similarly absurdly choreographed/costumed. Pardon my movie derail a tad, though there are music recommendations in here too.īreakin' is pretty Hollywood-ized, and aimed at a teenaged suburban audience wearing new checkerboard Vans. Posted by PandaMcBoof at 5:17 PM on November 9, 2007 I haven't been able to find a digital copy, though. My friend used to have a great tape of the guy who did music for the Rock Steady Crew - all the original funk / soul breaks, cut up. Try and find a copy (on mp3) of DJ Dan "A Tribute to James Brown" - that's a good one, or maybe Garth "No Rest for the Wicked". Mid-90s SF style housey breakbeat would be perfect too. Pretty much any uptempo stuff from JBs or uptempo instrumental stuff from James Brown "Take me to the Mardi Gras" (Bob James) - sampled in "Peter Piper", "Rock the Bells", "Work It" and a ton of other records

"Cavern" (Liquid Liquid) - basis for "White Lines" Well the traditional music would be the breaks from old funk and soul records, however you'd want to find a DJ mix where they're cut up so that it's just the breaks.
