why no ones raw no more is because of:
1/ lazy judging, judges looking for cleaness rather than difficulty because its easier to notice slip ups, rather than compairing 2 amazing raw sets and trying to figure out what was harder/better. its easy to do clean sixstep (very boring) and win a battle rather than do halos (raw) and having a chance of falling and "losing".
2/money tight/grabbing bboys, bboys now dont turn up to jams just to have fun, cypher other crews and just dance where as they did in the 80/90's. now they go "is there prize money?", "how much is the prize?" if there isnt they wont turn up..
bboys now also ask for travel expences.. wtf.. u never have that in the 90's its alright if someone offers to pay for u to go to their jam thats kool and respecting but asking is cheeky.
3/ for me the biggest reason why theres no rawness or originality is because of workshops and internet biting.
the teachers teach 10000000000 bboys the same thing.. tell them "if u do that you will win" then.. everyones the same. and in the process the teachers get £100000000000 lmao
people should learn things for themselfs, not because someone else said to, not to win, because they love what they are doing and want to do it
and the biters are shit because they aint theirselves. (and most of the time the biters only do half the bitten set, missing out the hard bit that made the set good)
this is only my opinion. u can have urs to, so.. rip into every thing i wrote :/
peace
