mmmm yea too bad popping is always a side show for break events which rack in the most money and the most amounts of fans.

hes good at poping but breaking takes a hell of alot more skill once you get to the competitive level.

you may LIKE popping more, but the fact of the matter is BBoying is more popular and makes more money. And poppping spawns from the break scene.

and comparing popping to breakdancing is like apples and oranges.

every style has their own difficult moves, but ask any one in the scene. therse more breaker who can pop then there are poppers who can break.

the fact is breaking takes alot more strength, skill, body control, timing, and joint training.

not to say i dont like poping i jus strongly disagree that you could say poping completely owns breaking, when the origins came out of the scene which breaking created.

You watch him pop and sell out to Soda Commercials

then you take a look at Rivers and gamblers crew from Korea
who do you think has more talent.


oh and not to mention the literally Thousands of bboy events and competitions that go on every year compared to the amount of popping events.

in fact no one goes to watch popping events unless there apart of a Break events Intermission.

^^^^ strength, power, and skill

i definetely have to be the arbitrary one, and they are both amazing, personally ive become a fan of reggaeton, but this is the wrong place to shout my love for that

Breakdancing is more complicated than popping. It requires not only moves but upper body strength and coordination.

thats all true what u said bout break dance and what it needs, but also in poppin u need to move all ur body joint or u cant do it, and sry but i doubt that any breakdancer can pop.. its just my opinion :P

[lehmki]

common man you doubt any breaker can pop?

I've been on the scene for 9 years. most breakers pop b/c they realize when you go into a club you dont have space to Break.

So pretty much every breakers pops.
and yea popping you need to use your joints and whatnot but a windmill or flare takes more energy then any popping move ever.

I dunno where your from or where you breakdance or pop. but In philladelphia and japan pretty much if you break, you pop just a bit 2.

Ive been to Mighty 4 Events, BOTY Prelims, Who came to serve, Rhythm Spotlight 1-4, 1st Degree burn, 2nd Degree burn, 3rd Degreen burn, and taken trophys home from Countless HIN events.

And so many other events i cant even recall. i can honestly say about 70% of bboys can pop to some extent and are pretty damn good at it.

And once again ill say it again, comparing the 2 is like apples and oranages.

Im sorry if i get a lil defensive here but your pretty much bashing on my Life work.

I've been dancing for 9 years now and deep into the BBoy scene and met a lot of the top bboys and Poppers around.

trust me i know what im talking bout, im not jus some hobby Breaker.
This is my life, and i know what im talking about.

and i hope you know. Your Hero Hyunn Joon.
yea he started as a BBOY not a popper.
and his crew is consist of BBoy/Poppers.
Then he got really sponsored and the crew mainly consist of Poppers.

Then he got super big and now hes doin Coke commercials

dude, i meant nothin offencive, yeah i know that Hyun was a bboy and some of the guys are from there, but just this was my opinion, and what i have seen and know.. and thats why i said i doubt it, cus i havent seen any breaker u can pop :P, basicly the difference in popping and breakdance is while breaking u use mostly ur upperbody strenght, but in popping u use all ur body :P and dude i dont wanna argue, u know very much even more than me but its just the way i see this and know
