(1) TBB Rocking Crew and it's new Pres:Aby,Track-2,Trace-2 Let me share a brief history of TBB Rocking Crew was actually a regular graffiti crew in the. Beginning of the 1970's it only contained three young members Cash, Shark,and me Batch. Cash and Shark were dedicated to graffiti art they were not into dancing when up rock. Dancing was in me on the other hand was wild young kid who was definitely attracted. To the dance and so the story begins of me Batch being a Up Rocker Dancer although it. Appeared to look like Cash who gave me the name and charge of TBB when it comes to. Graffiti Cash lead the way at the beginning Cash was the head Pres of TBB in graffiti art. Cash and Shark were the one's who inspired me at the beginning my Graffiti name was BAT But I wanted to change it cause it was only 3 letter name so I told Cash I wanted more. Letters in my name Cash said I quote:Yo Bat all you need to do is add "C&H" I ask him? What that meant and Shark and Cash at the same time said BATCH I was fascinated.... In 1975 Up Rockin was in it's prime and graffiti was hotter than ever which we devoted our. Lives for and fame we seeked from it when I officially made TBB into TBB Rockin Crew. In 1976 Cash and Shark called it the day and went their separate ways by then. BreakDancing was in effect and Up Rockin fell apart almost instantly Breakdancing occurred. In P.S 129 Schoolyard in the presence of TBB BreakDancing became a better name for the. Dance Art which at the beginning jokingly was called"Breaking your behind on the concrete. When Tee-Tee Rock(not Tee-Tee (not the later TBB member) fell to the ground from a. Mistake from a Up rock move after that the new era of dancing in the Bronx was about to. Make history Breakdancing was born by 1977 (RockSteady wasn't even thought about).... TBB Rockin Crew became so large that it caught the attention of Big Man himself. Afrika Bambaataa head of the biggest organization in the Bronx (The Zulu Nation) same time. 1977Afika Bambaataa had called for me to meet with him in one of Zulu headquarters. In Webster Projects there I met with the Big Fella and we discussed a peace treaty among. And TBB he wanted to make sure that no one especially so younger kids would not get hurt. In the schoolyard parties I immediately bowed to his important command and the Zulu's. And TBB as one when we came together in any events or parties I totally respected . Afrika Bambaataa from the beginning during those early years of the development of Hip-hop in general Allow me to also say that brothers like Mr.Freeze,Kid Freeze.Koriaky(RIP),Ken Swift and many more who kept the BreakDancing art form alive as well. Will forever be recognized and. Respected for their pioneering efforts from back then which. Also kept the competition coming and reinventing newer moves to the technicians of the. Art form Breakdancing with respect to the old school founders let us keep in mind that. Breakdancing is not just a gifted art but it is also a dance art that keeps transforming as its. Evolution continues to occur with time and what is so unique and special about the art of. Breakdancing let us step to the side and admire these younger men and women whom are. Participating with all their efforts to see that BreakDancing never goes out of style and the. The same time thank them for bringing forward the transformation which is indeed what. Breakdancing is all about from the beginning of it's development it is such a blessing to me. And many of you as well to get to see this art form of Dancing spread so widely around the. "WORLD TODAY" I must admit that show Dancing with the stars better fits the real dancer of the Breakdancing. Communities why?Because there is no other dancing form that is so body twisting so. Complex and complicated when it comes down to Breakdancing do we not agree? It's purely incredible! To all of you out their involved in the Breakdancing community I humbly ask of you to . Continue to create and formulate more new moves so that we can forever keep this Art form of dancing alive! Make the best of it and pass it on to your kids and so forth it is a positive activity. That can create wonders and bring us all together as family continue to support TBB. And all it's members embrace your selves and become one I thank you deeply for. Supporting The Bronx Boys.
