One of the founders of the Boppin style Robot Prince, along with a supreme LA poplockin legend Robert Bell.
Known as the founder of the Boppin style, Boppin Andre Diamond has contributed more to establishing this particular style (of the poplockin artform) than any other one person.
Here is a clip of Close Encounters, an OG Frisco group doing a style called Struttin.Frisco is known for their Struttin style (as well as their Robottin style), which began in the early 70s.
Here is Medea Sirkas, formerly known as "Demons of the Mind" (another triple OG group from Oakland/Frisco), doing some more "Steppin" (Frisco Struttin Style).
Here is another clip of Medea Sirkas, featuring "Newberry" from Oakland, demonstrating some of the earliest roots of the Boppin style (he is the one in the chair).While Frisco was originating "Struttin" (and their style of Robot), Oakland was originating "Boogaloo" (and their style of Robot).It's important to note that each had their own styles of Robottin, and the Oakland style (of Robottin), is where the LA "Boppin" (first called "Bottin") style evolved from.
Here is some classic LA oldschool poplockin from 1982, from the Little Dominos, the junior group of the Unique Dominos.This clip was featured on the legendary documentary "Breakin n Enterin".
If you come to LA, you will most likely see Animation (of Air Force Crew) performing at Venice Beach, The Promenade, or Hollywood.This LA Poplock OG has been holding it down nonstop since 1982.
"Turbo", better known to us poplockers in LA as Boogaloo Shrimp.What would LA Poplockin be without him??This is the single-most influential popper from our culture, known on the streets and underground, as well as Hollywood and pop culture.
Here is Shrimp's partner Taco, in the legendary documentary Breakin n Enterin, breaking down what Poppin iz.
Pomona OGs Slick Dogg, Dolla Bill and Boardman (along with their new generation student Tempo) showing why
Pomona poppin is known in particular, for it's waving styles, and taking it to the most advanced levels to date.
