B-Boy platters have been the only things I care about lately. (besides Love and Tim Buckley records)

Thats got Streets of San Francisco right??
Check this out. Deadly Avenger - Charlie Don't Surf (Samples SOSF like it aint no thang).
you covered a lot of my favorite bboy joints in that pic, ie, police women, vitamin c, date with the rain etc etc.

Subway Theme - Fred Brathwaite
rated x
i didnt know anyone else up on that kazablan soundtrack
short but funky lil cuts
Joe bataan - Call My name
A couple months back, the lady in the cubicle next to me was on speaker phone. She was on hold waiting for a BCBS rep. The typical music was playing, then, out of the fuck blue "Rainforest" comes on! I about flipped, telling everyone in the office, "This is Paul Hardcastle!"
One lady says to me "How do you know this easy listening crap?"
b/w Planet Patrol - Play At Your Own Risk (Instrumental)
yeh, i think the first time i heard it was on a smooth jazz station
Can't go far wrong with these.
but is this the proper equation for a b-boy platter?
I ask out of pure ignorance, not sarcasm.
Classic B-Boy cuts kind of fall into the category you described, but nowadays everything from Modern Soul to Rap gets played.
That's one side of it.
Mainly, much like hip hop, it's pulling beats from all over, appropriatin' that shit, and keeping the breaks flowing. Goes back to late 60s in Brooklyn/early 70s Bx.
Oh, and West Coast really early 70s
I guess you really have to DJ to know your shit.
I'm still a bit mystified, but thanks guys.
variety variety variety
some folks like that big band blaxploitation sound.
some folks get down to disco brass.
some folks get down to 1992 hip hop.
some folks get down to that 'next shit' like Can, Sapo, and 'obscuriities'
some folks get down to soul jazz.
some folks get down to boogaloo funk.
some folks get down to sentimental songs on bboy videos where their idol gets down on.
some people just like funky drums.
It's really all over the place.
PS. HBMS - Bear Witness is cool.
DR DELAY - Rock Relax is heavy.
like I say. that photo was just on the hard disk. MOSTLY bboy cuts. The Wu made it in there because of a chessboxin remix I did for my bboy mix, and the pic was really just part of a tracklist of the project.
Anything you can dance to really.
As long as it has got 'The Fonk', to, as father Bam put it, 'just let your god self get wild'.
It used to be straight-up braeks, but now its more just anything with a good feel for braeking to - doesn't necessarily need a completely exclusive break to the drums nowadays.
Delicious Billy said he hooked you up! Can I get one?
A Y O O O O O!
I need to hook both of y'all up. It came out looking real nice.
Delicious lives up to his name! (no ayo)
If things go good, he may need to make some more too!
I'd say it's always been this way, maybe even moreso in the past, and now it's going retro again as not everyone is still hooked on Breaker's Revenge or some other electro rock.
Remember b-boy does not always = breakdancer, and they've been around since before crossfaders so the break thing was less important, or rather, it was important for the dancers to know when the break was coming in order to show they knew their shit.
