今年で10周年を迎え、世界中で大きな盛り上がりを見せている、世界最高のBBOYトーナメント「RED BULL BC ONE」。
先週末にテキサス州ヒューストンで行われたそのアメリカファイナルにおいて、地元のクルーHaviKoroがみせたパフォーマンスが素晴らしいのでシェアします。

90年代後半から、オリジナリティあふれる独特のアプローチで世界中に影響を与えてきたHaviKoro。
RAW SKOOLでもインタビューさせて頂いたBBOY CHAOが日本人唯一のメンバーでもあります。

先日メンバーのNatを亡くした彼らが、HOUSEやHIP-HOPカルチャー、またあらゆるアーティストやBBOYクルー、オリジネーターたちの名前を叫びながら、私たちのカルチャーに敬意を表した素晴らしいパフォーマンスになっています。
ワンハンドエルボーエアーなどを世界でおそらく始めて世に出した往年のBBOY「BOY」も登場するので、必見ですよ！

パフォーマンスは、下の動画の1時間32分あたりから見ることができます。

“And so the story goes, these brown kids
From brown blocks
Hearing the same music, dodging the same shots
Sharing the same o same o, the same crooked cops
Leaning on bricks, on same bus stops

And it was bad circumstances
That created these dancers
Step on children with limited chances

Maybe it was the beat to the unforgiving concrete
Which led to these hooligans to finally meet

And they became KNIGHTS OF RHYTHM ODDYSEY
THE BIGGEST PART IN ME
THE BIGGEST HEART IN ME
So Check out my B E A T
Check out my B E A T
Fresh like the 1980s, fresh like the 1980s
And these 90s kids became mighty kid

And in the home of draped up and dripped out
Know what im talking bout
we broke out

And it was house music
Dirty hole in the wall hip hop music
Cassette breaks rewound way too much
Second hand Adidas with second hand touch
Life as a short shouldn’t be so rough MUSIC

And some picked up records some just kept wrecking it
Some just got jazzy some picked up books
Cause ain’t no such thing as half way crooks
While the world she kept on passing me by

And it was those boys turned knights
It was the lab
Those broke kids rocking Pro Keds sleeping in broke beds and dreaming of flying
Its was the better tomorrows, sweating off sorrows
And its always been the game,The flow
The struggle, the concrete
The beats, these damn beats that wont let us sleep 2x
It’s the flow that keeps us flowing
We are the culture THAT KEEPS US GROWING
We are the legendary ROCKSTEADY crew spirit,
Yo FROSTY FREEZE that was for you did you hear it???!!!
the STYLE ELEMENTS killin em,
The killa KAOS,The ACTION FIGURES,the G TRIBE, the WHYNOS chillin em
We are the BATTLE SQUAD,the SQUADRON,the GRIMEEZ, ORIGINAL MOPTOPS dancing on roof tops,
THE FAMILY,BRIAN GREEN so fresh so clean,the zulu spin the zulu spin
We are the ROCKFORCE crew, GERALD my brotha that was for you

the jazzy SKEME RICHARDS,
KEEP ON PREACHIN KEEP ON PREACHIN
THE WANTED POSSE,the big get off me’
we are the get down in james brown, the FLIPSIDE KINGS now
We are the ground zeros, the Japanese hiro, dope as IJO
The MICHAELS THRILLER, KOREAN RIVERS
We are the gurus Jazz mattaz ,we are the cardboards battlnig FLOOR LORDS
THE BOOGIE BRATZ , the wassup with that THE WHATS UP WITH THAT
We are the knuckleheads on the run
The PRINCE IN KEN SWIFT, A CULTURES THEFT
A 3RD WORLD STYLE,
A MASSIVE MONKEY getting down and funky
the old DIRTY BASTARD, THE STREET MASTERS
WE ARE THE SKILLS METHODZ, WE DONT COME 2ND
And WE FLOW MO CUS OF FLOW MO’
SO WHAT MORE CAN I SAY!!!!!!!
And we are hip hop we are hip hop
We are hip hop CULTURE…WE ARE HIP HOP CULTURE…..
WE ARE HAVIKORO….”
