It’s crazy, while hip hop was bubbling in NY in the 1970s

[Biscayne]

The Westcoast was poplocking and doing the robot and doing all sorts of dances that would now be associated as “hip hop dance”. You basically had two scenes on two different coast bubbling independent of each other. The funk roots of hip hop made it so, other regions had their own “urban” dance styles. You ask most people where poppin and lockin came from, they’d probably think it came from NY breakdancing.

None of this shyt is new. A lot of the essence of rap goes back decades before it was a real thing. The dancing goes back to tribal etc... nothing new.
