Last night was the Red Bull BC-One Championship was held at the Hammerstien Ballromm in NYC. It was a sold out show that brought out many diverse people both young, very young, (I took my 6 yr old with me but there were even younger kids with their parents), B-Boys, B-Girls, OGs, Hipster, Graffiti writers, Rappers, Poppers, Lockers, Rockers, Black, White, Latino, Asian, European, get where Im going with this? It was a celebration for all of us who love the art of the B-Boy battle. This was a heavily invested event by Red Bull, who has for several years committed to supporting and developing platforms for the B-Boy culture. The battle was presented in the round with a big circular stage surrounded by venue seating, it reminded me of a colosseum of battle. Everyone was in a great mood and spirits since RB hooked up an open bar and food for us. I ran into a bunch of friends as expected, I saw Fabel and Christie from ToollsofWar, Stash2 and Pete, Chino, Zulu Gremlin, Crazy Legs, Kid Freeze, Mr.Freeze, and many others.

KRS ONE was the host and was great! He held it down and was the right person for the job. He hyped it up something proper. The battle was hard from the gate and by the end of it the last two B-Boys proved they deserved the final round and Lilou from Paris took the belt over Cloud, he was heavy favorite from the jump and was a past BC1 champ. His final competitor Cloud from the US held his own and was strong but in the end the judges and the crowd that pulled for Lilou. See More here-

Stephon Marbury, Steve Francis, Penny Hardaway, and now possibly Allen Iverson. They just love signing guys that were dope 5+ years ago. The Knicks are 2-9.

My friend Laurence (culture marketing manager at Red Bull France) invited me last night to the Red Bull BC one B-Boy battle at Hammerstein ballroom.  She hooked me up and homey Gorey with dope spot where we had a great view on the battles.The night was sick! Boogie down finest blast master KRS ONE was hosting the event and in between battles, Talib Kweli and Hi-Teck as well as the world famous Rock Steady Crew killed it.. It’s the first Hip Hop event in years where I felt I was watching HD TV. Huge bass and perfect sound, fantastic light show and perfect timing. The crowd (including, Ninth Wonder, Fab Five Freddy, Zulu Gremlins,Ricky Powell, Martha Cooper,etc…) was super hype the all night. The battle level was just beyond real and the true Hip Hop culture was at its best. I wish I could post the movies I shot but I leave it to you to go to the Red Bull BC NY battle 2009 to appreciate. Congratulation to Lilu for crushing the competition.
