in my own personal life, music and culture come into contact in breaking. this form of dance is a huge part of my day to day. it is (arguably) one of the four primary elements of hip hop culture along with emceeing, deejaying, and writing (graffiti). it is, in a sense, the physical representation of hip hop ... the dance of hip hop.

bboys and bgirls dance to "breaks" or "breakbeats" ...
an example mixtape is the following (with a short sample from the documentary film the freshest kids explaining the origin of the breakbeat) https://soundcloud.com/dj-lean-rock/renegades-r16-1
