LOL @ the monty python ref...

Realistically it makes no sense to argue semantics over whether someone is OG or not.. Take, for instance, the first pioneering generations of lockers. Greg Campbellock Jr any less of an OG for imitating Don? Similarly since Shabbadoo was not from the original pioneering generation of lockers, does that make him any less of an OG? No. Give the people their dues and just do what you like as a newschooler. Different methods and styles for different people means there's room for everyone in this dance.

This guy is a REAL OG......

Hello Everyone! this is oldschooler Bopndre...The original Bopper, the original Bopndre, the original La Poplocker, the original animater/3d/sinbader, and though I started dancing a lot earlier than 1976, it was around that time that i began to become recognised as a competent robot, i am not the originater of the robot, heck..as i see it i'm not even an oldschooler of it..simply an LA oldschooler...and as i was not the first popper, i am not an og popper, but i can claim the title as LA's original popper (referring to first in LA and as to style)...otherwise, I'm simply an oldschooler, who for the most part of some 20 year, was not even heard of! outside of circle of people who for the most part came after me.... for the record, I do not usually,ay on the web, simply because i find that most people find it hard to swallow the truth! that includeds all those who have come to sit very well because of some false title...someone posted a list...none of those listed were og poppers, save popping pete, maybe...sam is the og boogalooer...and regardless of who posting the truth..you all should not just take a side , but question it merit, the second man to land on the moon can never be called the first!

[bopndre]

now for the record....I must notify you all...that depauseit was not at fault, it was I who initiated this "so-called" thread...I have been posting useing his name..to allow the real og's to be notified, so that could place their rightful claim/s... and of course, a few oldschoolers would have to qurestion their real merit, after soul searching themselves as to what it is they are representing as original...their names, their style, their age, their place... Now, for another record, pomona's style of waving is og, who formed the style..we shall find out, perhaps...they are not the first wavers, so they are not og wavers, but oldschoolers (og out of pomona), who pimped waves...took it to a higher plane.
if this is too hard for any of you to understand...sorry for being a little too clever ...if any of you have any true guts and facts, or questions that you'd like me to try to clarify, please try to do so, while I'm here to do so firsthand!

[bopndre]

kaistar....if greg Jr is imitating, then he is not og! again imitating meaning to copy or patern after...

My question to the legend....

If I divide by zero, and come to the realization that its not the answer I seek, but the question. Could the question not be found in the nether rift along the thirteenth lateral of the forgotten continent? I heard to find it you must first be without being, but we all know the apex of existence lies upon the parameter of nothing.

Holy shitsz Dre posting under lil Deps name!

Dre, please help me understand this... OG: what does it mean? what does it stand for?

If it means Original Gangster, then I cant see the connection of what was just dropped. If it means Original Generation, then its a generation of people and not a sole individual.

Is OG in your eyes, the very first person of its kind/style?

If so, then Bay Are would the OG woulndnt it? Or even further back Robert Shields? Mimes? I thought No Bone Tyrone was the OG of waves, but I dont think ive ever heard of him claiming he created waves. What defines OG and what makes it an exception? if you were the OG LA popper, then can it be safe for someone from lets say (just an example) Phillipines, who started around the mid 90's to claim OG of Phillipines?

I believe the problem is the labeling and what those labels mean to each individual person. From your definition, it clearly makes sense. But from the definition created by others "Original Generation" Im having a difficult time putting the 2 together and why its such a difference...

I remember our conversation at homeland about what is truth and what is an opinion. Truth = It happend and its not goin anywhere, there to stay to go into history. Opinion, is what the person saw in their eye with the additional memmory/thougt/personal feelings mixed in with it. So you had suggested we start back tracking from those who I interview to find their source and their masters/teachers. With that said, is this whole OG searching a part of the Truth? Is this the true definition of OG and not an opinion of the definition of the term?


and also back tracking to lil Deps post (which means it was you dre? hehe)

tetris...if slick dog is the first to use that name...then he is the og slick dog, but,

So please correct me if im wrong , but am i OG TETRIS? Video game first ofcourse, but was there another tutter named Tetris before? if not am I OG?

[waveomatic]

Dre, I really don't know what to say, hahaha. What happened dawg? You didn't even know me back in the days, so don't act like you knew what was going everywhere in LA, you left LA homie, thats why you say cats didn't remember you, you came back many years later, you've told me all this, hehe.

I really don't know what to say sometimes, you come out of left field with some shiet, haha. Am I to believe this like when you said your the first black monk in china?


So know your riding for Depausit? Nice, so OG means "the first"? Then there is only one OG to every style? So can you tell me what O and G stand for?

BTW, hope you and the family are doing good, we havent kicked it in a while, hope you'll be at the event tomorrow, we can even talk about all this in person.

wajaroo2007....while your list may be impressive to others,,,let's set the record striaght! credit for being the the original group of poppers out of longbeach, EB's, who preceded even me, makes everyone in southern cali, simply and oldschooler..hense, if they did not contribute new movements or styles, they could only truely claim og in first usage of name or first doing the moves in their areas. Please contact the listees, and ask them to list specifically, what they originated... and know this, northern cali, where sam came from, also has many oldschoolers who preceded him, to get to the true originaters (firsts), not just the imitators (and we are all imitators to some degree) or the super talented masters ( newschoolers or oldschoolers, who have taken their skills of displaying movement or style to the highest level....tetris/tuts, slickdogg-stokes-skywalker/waves, flattop/tickking, robot prince/roboting, you know who you are!) ...please feel free to go back over all my comments, they are consistent... and for the record, it was also my intention to put a definate end to this bickering between styles, we are all family, all particpants, some contrubitors, even less originators, but all still family... that list placed names irregardless of style...and that's a good thing.

[bopndre]

tetris...i did not know how to post...popaloo & depauseit...help me, one by typeing and posting, and the other by allowing me to use his username...it was no con...and i am now an active registrered member of your forum, thanks to them! still, i did not desrepect anyone.

tell existence to make light travel faster than

and we'll talk about omnipotence.




On the real though, I said it ages ago: everybody bites something from someone else to a degree. People been doing waves in africa for tens of thousands of years. This game of claiming ownership over moves and styles or labels like "OG" or whatever is a game for fools and drama queens.
