Some of the truest words ever

Alien Ness is a b-boy born in the South Bronx in the 60's and he started dancing in the year 1982. He is what you would call a 3rd generation b-boy (the exploitation era. A la Flashdance, Beat Street, Breakin, Breakin 2, Wild Style, Style Wars, The Last Dragon, etc. This is an incredibly raw interview with great insight coming from a person who came after the pioneers but still a pivotal point of a new development within b-boying entitled "power or air moves". Take a look at the interview. One of my fav lines out of the whole thing is at the end...truly deep and definitely insightful.

In fact, you can check out his book the art of battle: at http://www.ness4.com
