My favorite B-Girl moment is the Nike Commercial. So Fierce!

 Let’s wiki-b…reak it down:

A B-boy or B-girl is a person devoted to hip hop culture, more specifically, bboying/breakdancing. Crazy Legs of Rock Steady Crew explains the origin of the term – “the word b-boy originated from Kool Herc… b-boys and b-girls… break boys, break girls”[1].

Although numerous b-boys suggest that the term refers to the ‘breaks’ on a record[1], Kool Herc says that this is not the case – “b-boy – boys that break, it didn’t come from breaks on the record, it comes from… this man he ‘broke’, he went to a point, a breaking point… we just used that exaggeration of that term to the dancing – the b-boys, break boys”[1]. The term quickly came to include any follower of hip hop, identifiable by clothing habits, listening tastes or lifestyle, but has returned in latter years to the more specific usage in connection with dance.

I love the art of b-girl/ b-boy passion. It’s so fierce… whether an audience is present or not. It’s recession friendly, as you don’t need money to break from your soul through your body. It’s the story of the hood, and us all.

Whose your favorite b-girls and b-boys? Speak on it.
