If you think about it, that's kind of like watching olympic gymnastics: their moves are largely set, but it's the technique and the skill in the execution that often makes it "innovative"... Same things for ancient martial arts: you watch someone doing a Tai Chi form at a high level of skill and you're not looking for "new moves"; rather, you're looking at an amazing level of execution...

I think that we need to keep this in mind.

Although obviously, if you can have BOTH mind-blowing technique AND crazy concepts/moves, then you are solidly on the way to the "next level."

peas,

Word Boogie ... the level of execution should be always considered

i would have to say in my honest opinion there are 4 big cats that have truly inspired me a lot. Before i say anything my crew is my biggest inspiration ever. ANd with that being said here they are

Rashaad- Brings simple to a whole other never. He is smooth comfortable and shows that u don't have to be super complicated to be super ill.

Future- What can I say he is a Beast with it. His ideas make so much sense and everything he does connects so well and almost effortlessly.

Dnoi- So well rounded and is so smooth with his movements and his combos and tuts connect it the craziest ways yet they make so much sense!

Last and def not least...

Frantick- To me...He is one of the most FLAWLESS dancers. he has perfected everything that he does and on top of this he one of the most humble cats ever.

All these dancers at the same time of having the level of creativity and power in our dance community...Still have a great head on their shoulders. And all give back to the community and I think thats hard to find. Props to each of them for their hard work and dedication to the art of poppin

I just wanna add that you really need to see a dancer live(in person) to understand what they do and their strengths and weaknesses. Vids just don't cut it.

Yeah, poppin has so much polish involved that you can't see it all until you see it live.

f..uck it.....im conceited enuff.....and its the truth.....


me..........


im pushin... the scene...

in new directions......

done the commercials..movies..tv..award shows....(95 billboard awards...featured 3 times doin my own shit....with legendary jazz dancers doin routines behind me as i freestyled..in front..as the focal point..as i should be..for no artist...just me...and the homies....)

then...the first....

a dancer who is equal member in a music group..equal partner...is a merch company..equal member in a touring corp....from just dancing......

expanded the way alternative groups view dancers...and use streetdancers....(ur limp biskets...no doubts..blink 182s..linkin parks...any alt band ..they werent using them or takin them on tour..until they played with my band..and how we blow up the spots....)

our band...was the one that made bands and artists..in awhole different gerne want and do use streetdancers....

i crash bands stages all the time(especially in the earlier yrs..of the group).....from blondie to..pennywise..and anything i want to bust on in between...i am that notorious....and i dont get denied.....i only bust with other bands i respect..or have shown us respect.....

tommy lee's 1st drum solo in los angeles outside..motley crue....pakelika was the invited guest to hold the stage down....drummer steven perkins was also..drummin aswell....
but pakelika was the visual.....on the front of the stage..me n my blunt....

with
george clinton..watchin...and george clinton....himself...told me "i have the funk".....
i had to politley disagree and tell him im just walking thru his world on that but appeciate the complement

i turned a what would be considered most of the time a qoute "back up" dancer.....in to a frontman....becuz of my charisma..my bandmates believing in me..as i do them..and the respect we have for each other.... our group is unique..to say the least..

without rappin ..with out...signing....just dancing ...smokin.....and an occasional..adult beverage..

i pretty sure...that ....no other dancer...has.....people with them tatted on them..on the level that i do........yes...im tattooed on people...alot of people..it is an honor...and its crazy to me...but its an honor.....

1st streetdancer to grace hightimes...magizine cover....just from dancing...
also the new murderdog...coming out on the cover..from dancing..

i created a path that didnt exist until.......i did it.......


from believing in ..my....dancing.......



so i believe thats opening ...or goin....new directions....




so yes you have to walk thru the doors that have been open....and respect the ones who opened them....but then you think or wanna be on a level similar....you need to open the next door.....so another door can be open....


at the end of the day.....you got look in the mirror...and be happy.....





not everybody is meant to push things in new direction.....but everybody could..if they had the right desire...and perseverence......and ..the love..is geniune







yeah i said it ...lol


pakelika.........aint no one fuckin wit me....


ha!!!!!
