Their style was their reputation and their livelihood. A lot of b-boys today break on the side; it's part of their life but doesn't always consume it... But anyway, I think that's why when Shabba-Doo and many others see something like Youtube, their first thought is how it kills originality more so than how it spreads the art and culture...

Youtube can be seen as a means of bringing the art to the mass and creating more exposure. Moreover, just because someone views a clip on youtube, goes home and copies doesn't mean their end product is crap. Nor does it mean that person doesn't being their own organic i-might live in-a- sweet house-with very-nice -wooden floors and vintage furniture- and don't understand- the- notion -of -street. And more importantly doesn't mean he doesn't have his/her frustrations to bring to the table. there is an assumption that the person on the receiving end doesn't participate and is somehow uber nobby :) technology is part of this crazy landscape of life, so homie should get with it. though i understand what he is trying to say. sure there might be some crappy moves, but not all art in museums is that great either, but people take from it what they can and ish.
