> Bad Taste Cru take the Irish Hip Hop/BBoy Championships

Words: BBOY P


THIS ARTICLE isn't intended for us to blow our own trumpets but what im doing is giving out respect to my crew for going down to dublin last saturday and showing people what we are all about!!! unfortunately we didn't have the full crew line up as myself, flea, tae, b.rok were not available to attend for college and work commitments. But the rest of the crew attended this jam which honestly i don't know much about but ill give you all the lo down any ways.

ROBBIE, BAD TASTE CRU

It was a crowd off maybe 300 people came to witness the first ever type of event held in ireland (I'm really pissed off that i wasnt there but anyways) and we thought it was going to be a routine thing and as we have not practised our routines in ages we thought it would be a bad idea to go. but i concouraged doke and the boys to head down any ways and battle for the craic. but luckliy the comp was about individual dancers so it was fortunate that they did go down. They said the talent was really good and they were surprised to see so many younger people into bboyin to be honest we thought we were the only ones.

the belfast boys were there even though they are "supposed to be retired" ( they have been tellin me that for years! ) they were judging the event and to the crowds delight they put on a wee showcase. showing all the youngbloods the true essence of being a bboy!!. doke also told me off many individual bboys that he rated in particular 2 guys from dublin who busted some mad back of the wrist moves. AND THEY SAW A a wee girl no more than 12yrs old rockin it!!!!

well any ways to cut a long story short respect to all the irish bboys out there we will all hook up some day and then we will rock ireland together united
