Bone breaking | Inception

Bone breaking traces its roots in Brooklyn, New York where you will see young dancers often compete in dance competitions like Battle Fest. Bone breaking, a kind of flex dancing, is a contortionist form of dance. Many hold misconceptions that bone-breaking evolved from hip hop dance. However, it actually is a dance form which has its roots in a Jamaican dance form called bruk-up. This fact is as stated by The New Yorker’s video explaining bone breaking as a dance form.

Flex dancers have been performing in Brooklyn since 2006, as per the New York Post.

Rare fact-

Busta Rhymes has featured bruk-up dancers in his music videos, and on Madonna’s MDNA tour in 2013, six of her 22 dancers were bone breakers.

First-up: Tupac Shakur (The Hip-Hop Solo Man)

Tupac Sahkur is a name which rules the hearts of all Hip-Hop frenzies. He was the greatest Hip-Hop artist ever lived.

The game legend with undeniable music delivery. The Absolute. His influence still rules and talks to people beyond the grave. The emotions sea-deep in his lyrics even make grown men sob! Listen to Hail Mary by Tupac Shakur, Eminem and 50 Cent and you’ll experience the real Hip-Hop chill!

Eminem: Attitude Reloaded!

Eminem is regarded as one of the iconic names in the Hip-Hop genre. However, before this he had his share of crap too. Eminem succumbed to drug abuse during the shooting of 8 Mile in 2002. (The movie is awesome!) He used to be on set for 16 hours every day and suffered insomnia. However, he emerged victorious in a conventional style. With an attitude reloaded, Eminem made a huge contribution in making hip-hop mainstream as one of the biggest selling genres.  I personally love “Cleanin’ Out My Closet”, from his 3rd album, The Eminem Show.

Notorious B.I.G.-

Well, well, well when it comes to Hip-Hop how you can forget the Big Poppa of Hip-Hop? Christopher George Latore Wallace, better known by his stage names The Notorious B.I.G, Biggie or Biggie Smalls, was an American rapper. Biggie is known for his charismatic disposition and his lyrics regarded as “most fly”. His murder during a shooting in 1997 was traumatizing and felt as the end of hip-hop. However, 18 years after his death, Biggie is still the king of New York.

The Hip-Hopper with a feminine sheen. She is Charismatic and Charming. Nicki Minaj is undoubtedly the greatest female Hip-Hop artists of all time.

Her powerful image resembles the eminent Japanese Harajuku Barbie. Her fans known as barbz (short for Barbies), are crazy about Nicki Minaj for her ability to spit fire whenever she’s on mike! My favorite is “Moment 4 Life”, what’s yours?
