Dancing Lessons from the Godfather of Soul
“James Joseph Brown (May 3, 1933 – December 25, 2006), originally James Joseph Brown, Jr., also known as “The Godfather of Soul”, was an American entertainer. He is recognized as one of the most influential figures in 20th century popular music and was renowned for his vocals and feverish dancing. He was also called ‘the hardest working man in show business’.”

I saw Capri one time in the GO in ’93 and it was www.not-a-good-look.com I think the setup was not to his liking and his records kept skipping. His frustration was visible not to mention the fact that Twilite Tone had just slaughtered the opening set.
I’m hoping the memories of that cold wintery night at the crib are eradicated tonight.
This past Thursday I was invited out to the B-Girl movie Atlanta screening at the Plaza Theatre.
I arrived a lil late due to attending the Stanza listening session in the West End which was going down the same night, so I missed some of the first parts of the movie, but I pieced most of it together, and enjoyed the film.
At the end of the night guests were treated to a Q&A with B-Girls Severe and Vendetta (Burn Unit) as well as Baby Love formerly of the Rock Steady Crew.
If you want to know more about the movie, view trailer, or to see if there’s a screening in your city. Head over to Bgirlmovie.com
Also this past weekend in the ATL there was a huge B-Boy competition. “B-Boy Evolution”
I missed all of the events due to scheduling conflicts but caught this footage of B-Girl Severe (Burn Unit – ATL) Vs. Mystify (Chicago) Check it out.
After being banned from The MJQ Cafe on Wednesday nites for “doing a good job”, ATL’s Latin Soul Brother #1, DJ MAFIOSO & The Original Anti Hero Steve DeNiro are brushin’ of tha shoulders as the Barrel Brothers. If you came thru every other Wednesday you know how it was going down. So this Saturday their celebrating their BDAYS in the same fashion, if not better. Mafiloko + Steve DeNiro = PROBLEM // Saturday nite, May 2nd // doors open at 10PM // 21+ // EL BAR (behind EL AZTECA on PONCE) INFO and ELBARATL.com
Those of you from NYC have probably seen the New York Boys while doing your thing in the city. See what happens when a former BOTY Champion, Extreme Crew shows up during a street performance and a “friendly” battle ensues.

Shout out to Atlanta’s own Burn Unit crew. They recently popped up on Vimby. Get familiar. They told me once I get my moves up again I can join the crew, I’m looking forward too it.
