Crazy Legs is THE person who helped put B-Boys on the map & Hip Hop become a culture. "Crazy Legs", a b-boy since the age of 10 years old and veteran of Hip Hop culture, as one of the original members of the Rock Steady Crew and the current president. His credits include many of the first Hip Hop tours in the early 80's, which set the foundation for what the culture has become. He has been featured in such films as Flashdance, Beat Street, Wild Style, Style Wars and The Freshest Kids (which he co-produced) as well as various television programs and music videos.. As a member of the Rock Steady Crew he was honored at the First Annual VH1 Hip Hop Honors in 2004. He was inducted into the Hip Hop Hall Of Fame in 2002, was presented with the Source Youth Foundation 2003 Image Award, the 2003 AARTS Award from the Bay Shore Schools Arts Education Fund, and was also honored as the National Godfather of the 2003 Jersey City Puerto Rican Day Parade. He and some of the other members of Rock Steady Crew were the first B-boys to perform at Carnegie Hall on Jan 19, 2001. Along with the Rock Steady Crew, Crazy Legs has toured extensively throughout the U.S., Japan, Australia, South America and Europe. Crazy Legs hosts and organizes the annual Rock Steady Anniversary, a monumental community event that honors deceased members of the crew and celebrates Hip Hop culture both past and present. The Rock Steady Anniversary attracts deejays, B-boys/B-girls, emcees, writers and thousands of Hip Hop supporters from all around the world. Crazy Legs is the president of Backspin Productions, an entertainment company with the mission is to continue to produce Hip Hop events and eventually become a major entertainment company. Crazy Legs' success is a testament to the longevity of Hip Hop culture.
We at are excited to honor such a legend in Portland. Crazy Legs will be treating Portland to a very special DJ set. Don’t miss this chance to see a hip hop legend support the culture he helped grow himself. As usual, you can expect great music and good friends. We hope you'll come share in the evening.

That In Control footage was dope! The way he was going back n forth on 45's! With the turntables mad far away and straight instead of battle style! Reminds of of KBOO's set up, only it's still like that 20+ years after this footage was shot!
