4.0 out of 5 stars Makes ya' wanna do head spins!, April 20, 2000

By	"joe_momma" (La Puente, Ca USA) - See all my reviews

Representing the second most under-rated element of Hip-Hop ( the first being Graf Art ), The Official UK Breakdancing Championship delivers in spades. This video not only shows the heated nature of true hip-hop ( in the same way MC's and Dj's battle, and Graf heads compete to be kings ), it shows B-Boying is alive and thriving, not just within the confines of America, but across the globe. The camera work, quick as it is, capture all the movements of the various crews, though admittedly this approach seems akward at first. There is enough moments of amazing acrobatic feats that would make any hip-hopper get up off their chairs and say "OOOOOHHHH! ", yet this video is far from perfect. The music is dubbed over ( rather than use the original from the championship ), and it leaves something to be desired. And the battle between Germany and Denmark ,as it neared the end, starts to become over-stretched and tedious. I would have given this a solid Three stars, but I had to add another for that AMAZING battle between Japan and the U.S. ( a battle so furious that even the DJ exclaims "now THAT was a BATTLE! "-- also, peep veteran B-boy Crazy Legs and others on stage as they themselves are amazed at the incredible exchange of body rockin' moves ). At any rate, walk, don't run, and get yourself a copy of The Official UK Breakdance Championship, a worthy addition to any Hip-Hop collection.

4.0 out of 5 stars Break Dance Championship, January 4, 2000

By A Customer

This video was good because it represnts the true essence of Hip Hop culture. To address the issue of the quick camera angles, I felt it added rhythm to the music. All B.Boy video's are not for one to mimic break dance moves. These b.boys have been doing it for a while and to see the progression in technique is a pleasure all its own. For all you b.boys out there that are looking for a good video with good quality resolution and fat beats, this tape is for you. This review is coming straight from New York City, check it out, PEACE.
