“hye i just wanted to shoot you a quick thanks for letting me know about the CUP clip, they are deffanitly a part of vancouvers history that far to many ppl have no idea about. so thanks”

It’s important to let the CUP boys know if they’ve had an effect on your life as it is today. So let them know… I did!

Zebroc, Jesar and Hesam were the ones who taught me and introduced me to the Vancouver bboy scene.
I wouldn’t be where I am today if I hadn’t met those guys.
Much love and respect.

Too bad there wasn’t ABDC back in the day! Then again it would be Canada’s best dance crew & that wouldn’t happen for a long time! But you guys def. set the stage for all crews! Wow you guys looked so skinny, what happened now?! J/k LOL

Oh man.

I grew up in the burbs, as a kid I would come downtown (ooh!) to those jams. You have no idea how much of an impact that and you guys had on mine let alone everyone else’s being today.

Much inspiration, set the foundation, for the next generation.

All respect due to the architects, mad props like on a movie set…

When is the reunion, boys?!

MAN, all i got to say is that not to many heads know of them, and this is a blessing to just show people of hiphop’s vancity were that shit was and were it can go. To be honest, the only crew that was a all round bboy, had all elements with in the dance. And i have not scene to date there caliber. But i smell something around the corner, come on VAncity amp your shit up! peace to Contents, dudes who made it happen for me and everyone else!!!!!!!..
peace and uno from the florida state!

I had a few emails asking who were the ones dancing the routines. If you’d like to know go herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z6qL1WOp7j4

Also since a lot of old school heads have been giving me their feedback. Yo who remembers Honey Dips, Red Lounge, El Famoso, Nudda butta… Shouts out to Gman and Rizk for holding those jams. Also to Flipout, Jswing and Kemo for providing the beats.

This brings back a lot of memories. B-boying has been a big part of my life thanks to these guys. Everyone in Contents Under Pressure took things to another level and were ahead of their time.

One of my favorite battles was against Jesar at the Battle Royal series help upstairs at Sonar. Went to a tie breaker and I lost.

Respect!
