Memories of Frosty Freeze

"The Headache"

edub May 17, 2008

Damn... It is sad to see a pioneer pass, I just found out and its almost a month later. Wild Style was and is my favorite movie and the scene where he is demonstrating a certain freeze in the park, sticks out in my mind. One of my favorite B-Boys, Rest In Peace my brother..

FROSTY the west was won!!!!!!!

I was in school at PS 52 in Manhattan and the Master Disaster crew ran the school my crew.We would fly our colors and 1 day crazy legs and his people rocked their colors and we challenged them to a battle.We were about knives and guns so we came prepared to battle,When they showed up they came with a radio and ready to dance thats where I met FROSTY the coolest dude ever because what he did wasn't an act but who he was genuine and from the heart, a pure BUG OUT. I lost touch for a while 15 years but a couple of years ago they had a hip hop summit in Harlem and guess who I ran into and he was still the same dude. We caught up on some shit and I introduced him to my son Chris.2 weeks later I ran into CL in Chinatown told him I saw freeze in Harlem and got no reaction. Oh yeah freeze told me he hadn't spoken to him for about 5 years.

Frosty My Man!

In the 80s i was break dancing with freeze. He was good but i was better. I hurt my hip on a over the top b bomb drop. He took over and everttime i saw him, from my wheelchair, i would just be in awe and say " yeah baby go for it." In later life frosty and I hung out at the Manhole bar. A Popular place for men who acted like men, manly men, men with masculine manly traits. Nothing but men here! Yes sir! Yep Frosty ruled!

Or maybe im thinking of someone else?

Seeing Frosty @ Upper Westside of NYC!

CR Apr 14, 2008

Man.. it was great to see him in action at school dances, block parties, building yards (All you needed was cardboard, a boom box / Ghetto Blaster... And let the battles begin...

I have yet to be impressed with break dancers the way I was left at awe by watching Frosty and the members of the Rock Steady Crew back in the early 1980's...

Wayne.... Rest In Peace...

My first memory off Frosty was in my mother's living room with half the neighborhood at my brother's sleep over. Peace my brother I'll always love you

A true pioneer

Watching Frosty Freeze in Style Wars and Wild Style as a kid growing up in Amsterdam (Europe) is one of my richest memories. You were "just" a bunch of kids having fun in the Bronx and you lit up the world. Now Hip Hop is here to stay and you are one of the true innovators. Rock on. You were taken too young.

Respect

Although I never meet the man, his influence lives in me through his contributions to the Hip hop Culture. Your memory will live on forever.
