Hiphop and Performing Arts - Please Help Support POSITIVE Lifestyles and Futures!

TBB Members and others willing to help! VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!

Hi Everyone,

My name is Mindi Peterson and I am the Co-Founder of an organization called Odori 73 Hiphop Worldwide and also a member of The Bronx Boys Rocking Crew (TBB). I am writing this today for a very important cause. My husband, Ziggy (Founder of Odori 73 and also member of TBB) and I have working for the past two years to bring light to REAL values and morals of Hiphop Kulture. Especially teaching the youth and helping them spread this knowledge and understanding to other young people.

Recently I was informed of a huge worldwide Hiphop event called Outbreak 5 which is being held in Orlando, FL on December 11 & 12, 2009. This event has become important for the members of Odori 73 and TBB because for the first time in a long time there will be a panel discussion about Hiphop Kulture and particularly the Bboy community at this event. I am hoping to discuss and bring attention to the problems in the kulture and take action on these issues. The organization is trying to bring ONLY positivity. The media has made the kulture very universal and worldwide, but it does not represent the true nature and values that come from the people who have completely embraced the kulture through their life struggles, NOT for fame and fortune. I would love to give our young members the chance to be apart of this historic event and get the chance to share their stories. Most of the young members have never been able to travel out of their own cities or towns ever and have never given the chance to be a part of something like this. These young people have huge talent and even bigger hearts and can really bring about positive change for everyone around the world if just given the voice and chance!

In conclusion, I humbly ask for your help. The organization would like to help fund as many members as possible to get to this event from wherever they are in the world. If you could spare $5, $10, or whatever amount you are able to donate, it would be greatly appreciated! You can donate by clicking this link - http://bit.ly/odori73tbbdonate and if this does not work you can also donate directly to our PayPal account – Mindi@Odori73.com. Any donations I receive will be distributed out to any member who is in need of a little help for travel and also hopefully sponsor at full cost a couple young people to make the trip. After this any donations will go into a fund for future education and events for the youth. The organization is not only trying to improve young people within the kulture, but also within their day-to-day lives. The organization wants them to become successful and productive members of society. Thank you to everyone who has supported Odori 73 and TBB thus far and to anyone who will help us in the future. All of your generosity and love is very much appreciated :-). God bless!

Sincerely,

2nd Part BITERS BEWARE!

Biting can easily be avoided sometimes by those who are learning from videos or YouTube! That means they have no money or way of getting some old school head like myself to teach them foundation! I spent a lot of years in countries all over Asia (1989-1998)and even did a lot of workshops for free and even let them video tape my whole sets at the time to catch up to what the rest of the world was doing in the Philippines, Thailand, China, Korea and Japan. For nine years I did this while I served in the United States Navy and did this in other countries too as well that are not in Asia. But, to make a long story short there are biters and they know who they are, they don't respect old school heads like myself and consider themselves doing us old school heads of favor of bringing a move back that they think we're not doing anymore. More often than not they are uninformed about us to begin with. But biting like I said can be avoided just ask the originator on MySpace, Facebook or this website! Were not hard to find and were definitely not selfish and arrogant to say you can't do our moves! We appreciate those who come to us with respect! Powermoves are never considered bites unless the originator of some crazy new powermove did it and someone goes completely outta their way to do it the same way! The same can be said with style as well. A lot of people in America say if you can flip the move its okay to bite, which I agree to disagree with. Because what if the person you’re biting can already flipped it several times! I was taught back in the 70's to do this with every move I created at least 3 to 6 different ways! Which no one does anymore, also, do it both ways which also hardly anyone does anymore! Basically you want to not be called a biter, do this 1st try your hardest to find the originator and ask for permission and don't tell me you don't have time! We all have time to do the right thing by this kulture, 2nd once you get permission make a it your own, try to do it both ways and flip it several ways from Sunday! Don't settle for just the shell of the move; remember there are moves inside of moves! Hope this helps, good luck to all and all many blessings from above!

Allah Akbar,

To all MySpace bboy/bgirls, TBB and Odori 73!

Hello to All Part Of This Kulture We Call Hiphop! I'm Doing It Again, I Got to Reflecting on My Past, Present and Future in This Kulture and Something Struck Me! Why Don't We Include Our Family More Into The Bboying, Djing, Popping, Locking, House Dancing Kulture! I Go To Events Out Here In Los Angeles And I Hardly See Parents, Sister, Brothers, Uncle's, Aunt's, Wives, Supporting Their Kids, Significant Other, Doing This Kulture They Know Nothing About! We talk a lot Of about Educating People in the Kulture, What About the Ones out Of It. Also, when we Do Workshops or Teach These Kid, Young Adults Dancing Let's Make Sure All Veteran Bboys Conducting These Workshops We must Let These Kids, Young Adults Know You That They Are More Than Just a Bboy! You Might Be A Doctor, Lawyer, Professional Athlete, Social Worker, or Priest! Whatever, You Do Affect Change In These Young Peoples Mind So They Know That If They Don't Make It As The Number One Bboy Or Bgirl, Dj Or Promoter, They Will Always Be Somebody That Can Do Something In Life And Contribute To This World In A Positive Way! I Challenge Our Kulture As A Whole To Do This, Bring A Family Member To An Event More Than Just Once A Year, Workshops Challenge These Young People To Believe They Can Be There All Even If They Do Something Outside Of Hiphop! Because That Is Real Hiphop!

Allah Akbar,

WHERE YOU AT!?! BLACK MENTORS/BBOY BE SEEN, HEARD, FELT!

BLACK MENTORS AND BLACK BBOYS PLEASE STAND UP! THIS MIGHT SEEM OUTTA TOUCH WITH THE UNIVERSAL FEELING THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE 70'S! I APPRECIATE ALL RACES IN THE HIPHOP WORLD BUT, I FEEL LIKE MORE BROTHERS OF THE SAME ETHNIC BACKGROUND SHOULD STEP UP TO PROTECT WHAT WAS STARTED BY OUR ANCESTORS! I MEAN SINCE DAY ONE WE HAVE BEEN PART OF THIS KULTURE IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE! WHEN I 1ST STARTED THEIR WAS MORE BLACKS IN THIS KULTURE THAN ANYONE, NOW ITS ONLY A COUPLE HAND FULL IN AMERICA, AFRICA, FRANCE AND SOME OTHER COUNTRIES WERE BLACK BROTHERS REPRESENT! IT NEEDS TO BE MORE DONE TO PRESERVE OUR STANCE IN THIS KULTURE. WE DON'T WANT BBOYING TO END UP LIKE TAP DANCING! WERE THE PIONEERS OF THAT DANCE ARE GETTING OLDER EVERY YEAR AND DYING OFF AND NO OTHER BLACK BROTHERS ARE THEIR TO TAKE OVER FOR THE NEXT GENERATION! EVERYONE NEEDS SOMEONE TO LOOK UP TOO! BUT, BLACK AMERICANS ARE AT THE TOP OF EVERY NEGATIVE CATEGORY AND ARE MORE LIKELY NOT TO SEE THE AGE OF 25 THAN ANY OTHER RACE IN USA! THAT PAINS ME, EVEN THOUGH I'M MIXED, I RESPECT MY BLACK HERITAGE AND HOPEFULLY BEFORE I GET OLDER AND LEAVE THE DANCE NOT THE HIPHOP COMMUNITY! I WILL SEE MORE BLACK BROTHERS IN THE DANCE, DJ'S, PROMOTERS, RAPPERS THAT TALK ABOUT REAL ISSUES NOT RIMS AND STRIPPER POLES, OTHER LEADERS THAT MAKE NON PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS OR ORGANIZATIONS TO MAKE THE NEXT GENERATION OF BROTHERS THAT TAKE A STAND FOR OUR PLACE IN THE HIPHOP COMMUNITY YEARS AFTER THIS POST!

Empowering the Forgotten of Bboy and Hiphop Kulture – “Laying it all on the Line”

There is a trend in Bboy and Hiphop kulture where politics, the media, and favoritism all come into play. Battles, big and small, have been unfairly judged or have politics that have interfered with the decision instead of it just being about who danced better. This trend has really affected the youth of the kulture and also those with passion that never get a chance to prove themselves. This has changed the opinions of thousands of people around the world on their outlook on Hiphop and Bboying in general, and it is not a good one. What everyone needs to understand is that these AREN’T just battles! Bboying and Hiphop is LIFE to many and when you mess with the integrity of someone's LIFE and their passion there is backlash for it all!

It is compromising the integrity of the kulture and discouraging further and future generations of people to get involved or stay involved! A judging decision does not only affect the winners and losers anymore, it affects the whole community! This is because everyone in the community bases their faith and hope on the outcome of battles being fair and just. I am not just saying this because I personally think any particular crew or person should be winning, but because a huge number of people I have talked to about this topic that have expressed their concern and anger.
Numerous times I have been at battles and young Bboys standing next to me (after decisions of winners have been announced) have said to me - "I will never dance again". Most of these young guys are very good and show great potential to become great dancers and contributors to Hiphop kulture. They are not even upset most of the time about themselves not winning because they know they need to get better, but because the crew or person they know is great did not win and someone or a crew that isn’t great won instead. After hearing this from soo many guys, I then do not see these Bboys at any battles, big or small, and I am 99% sure that most are not involved in Bboying or Hiphop kulture at all anymore. I know there are many people that feel this way and have probably been soo discouraged they too have given up and we don't even know because we never see them ever again. This doesn't mean these people are weak or don't have passion and love for the kulture, they just know that no matter how hard they try they will never win or get chances to win with horrible politics happening within the kulture! Leave the politics to the President and the people in Washington D.C., don't bring this to a kulture that is live or die to soo many people! If you continually get shut down and even ridiculed for what you love, eventually it wears on your soul and makes you not want to try anymore because what is the point if you can never progress or improve. I encourage EVERYONE to express how they feel and to not let anyone make you feel small or unworthy. This is what is destroying this culture! It is the politics and the bad judging, that happens at almost every event, and the arrogant attitudes! This is a kulture of peace and unity not of politics and arrogance!

There is a difference between really knowing the history and foundation of the dance and kulture, and then being paid or bribed for people to get somewhere within the kulture. Young people have respect for those that judge with honest experience and knowledge. The problem comes in when a judge cannot even tell a single soul exactly why a person or a crew won over the other. If you are truly knowledgeable and have a firm grasp and understanding of the kulture and dance you will be able to answer and explain any question that comes your way! If a judge cannot answer this question and explain to someone why, then this basically says that the judges chose whoever they wanted to not based on their dance performance, but something else. So, why even battle then?!!!!!!! If judges can come correct and really explain their choices, then respect can be gained and it will give young people the good advice and faith they need to get better and be good enough to win someday.
If this trend of political favoritism and hype continues it is basically saying to the youth, you are better off just NOT getting involved because you will always be shot down by the politics of the game. You might as well just say - here is a bag of weed, a gun, and a condom - go back to the streets!!!!!!!! The youth of the world and many others use Hiphop as a way to stay away from those evils of the streets and they want at least a glimpse at success or recognition for their efforts - if they cannot get it in Hiphop, then they turn back to the streets because they know they can at least get recognition there whether it is right or wrong. The youth are very impressionable and it doesn't take much to flip the switch in their heads. Most of these people do not want the fame and glory of success, they just want people to know and respect their love and passion for what they do, just like everyone else!

What this really all comes down to, is EVERYONE needs to be careful of what they say and do because this kulture is never just about YOU, it is about millions of people around the world with passion and love for what they do! Every decision has an impact and some more than others. Respect is earned and not just given, which is what people involved in the bad politics need to realize - you cannot just give someone a title or hype them up, to get respect for that person. Respect just isn't automatically given to someone because politics or the media says so! You have to earn that respect by working hard and showing everyone you deserve their respect whether you are winning or losing! So, before everyone goes on trying to bad mouth about characters of individual people, crews, judges, or whatever, step back and think about how you affect EVERYONE, not just yourself!

Sorry, for anyone who reads this and thinks it is way too long, but everything needed to be said and I give mad props to anyone who speaks their mind and uses all avenues in the world today to get their message out. I learn more and more about this kulture everyday from messages put out especially on MySpace by KRS-ONE, Kurtis Blow, Busy Bee and many other legends and pioneers of this kulture. Why can we all not do the same?!!! Facts will never get lost behind lies and cover-ups no matter how powerful one person or crew thinks they are in the kulture! One day you will be blasted like all evil is! The Higher Power of the Universe (whichever name you have for it and however you believe) will always be the one to decide your fate in life no matter what you think about your actions, they NEVER go unnoticed or unpunished!

This was written for everyone, but if you do not get the message or disagree, well I guess that just sucks for you. In the words of one of the greatest Hiphop groups EVER, the Roots, - "This is for all of my peoples who understanding and truly recognize, same won't get it and for that I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE!" I do not apologize, nor will I ever for what I have said because it is all true and real and if you don't get it, then I am more than willing to explain it to you personally if you truly want to learn more - if you are just mad at it then your loss! Most of the time the truth hurts, because people would rather live in a world of ignorance instead of finding truth in their lives!
The mission of all true Hiphop heads is to protect and preserve this kulture for generations to come and to all those who believe in this and want to help in this cause keep doing your thing! Never let the negative attitudes and ignorance bring you down because no matter how many times you are beat down the day will come when you will rise above it, along with all others doing it correct! Stay up, stay positive, and ban together with those who believe in the TRUE missions of the kulture! Many blessings always!

BITERS BEWARE!

I do care that you know my history or respect others history in this dance. When you use someonelse’s hard work that they put into dancing to make money! You’re a culture vulture, stealing from people who are struggling to become bboy originators or innovators! Your shows are making money off of someone who is still doing those moves that you overcharge for at your shows! You'll be found out and exposed! I don't care if you represent for my crew or you even have a crew, this needs to stop, because if I catch you in a cypher I'm going make an example outta you for all the years that bboys have clawed their way outta the ghettos or hardship they come from and try to make a living or better themselves using Hiphop as a platform, while vultures like yourself make money off our shit! I'm going to find a way to surround you with every crew that you bit from in your show and destroy you! Plain and simple abide by the rules of bboying or don't use our shit to make money while we still struggle, studio dancers!

Burn, Hollywood, burn!

NUTRITION IS THE KEY!

Rules to live by to stay in shape

Diets don't work, meals plans do
Cheat on one thing not a whole day
Never workout on a empty stomach
Carbs before workout, protein after (30-1hr)
Unless your stomach is flat, don't do crunches
Workout large muscle group separate from small muscle groups
Keep back straight, stomach tight at all times not just when you workout

Lunch is salad with protein

Mid afternoon snack 2 pieces of string cheese

Dinner is sandwich with protein use wheat bread, no mayo too fattening, use mustard

If still up, have a late night snack something like cottage cheese, 2 tablespoons
