murdering scum bags is right, I lived not far from where that happened. after they had him tortured they cut and then shoves his "member in his mouth" I hope the bastards responsible pay for their crime.

Does anyone know who killed Buck 4 & Kuriaki? Is the person or gang who did it, in jail?

I am 45 yrs old. RSC inspired breakers world wide. Buck 4 has serious floor skills. Watch his 5 pt shuffle in Hey you.. Straight arms all the time. We started a crew, Paragon Breakers in Phx AZ. We were featured in in several television programs nationally in the 80's. Our biggest battle was in Tempe Diablo Stadium, Fresh Fest. Our crew of 8 turned out the LA Breakers, including Boogaloo Shrimp.j There was at least 20 of them. Televised. Ice T and me laughed for the next 2 hours getting drunk. Bullet-

Was their murders connected? Did his brother really kill him? Why? So sad

MadNewYorker said...

Was "Flex" with the RSC, also??? And what was his deal??? A lot of negative talk is directed at him, he sounds like a messed up dude. But, I had heard that Buck and Kuriaki was into to some negative stuff around the time when B-boying fell off in the late 80's.

Geez, all ya'll cats just full of speculations... I know the story since I was the one whom lived it... Flex (for the asshole he is) did not kill his own brother. Anybody, I mean anybody that knew them from Crotona, Prospect, 182nd, 183rd and Beaumont knew this. Flex did not become an asshole until he got into the drug game and that's where it all went left and yes, he had Kuri killed, that's a fact... Oh and that loser mother fucker Crazy Legs showed the killers where Kk lived in Mt. Vernon and his ass should be locked the fuck up as well, bet you didn't know that; ask him? He was one of Flex's runners back when Flex was making tons of doe, but that's a whole different story for another day... Bucky aka Buck 4 had his enemies as well and though to this day his killers have not been caught, but that's not to say, we don't know who they are. Going back to Flex; Flex had Kuri killed because in some sick way he thought Kk had Buck killed which is so far from the truth. If you knew K, you knew violence was not how he got down and something he never advocated even after his brother Angel got shot on 187th and Park Ave. Yeah nigga's I knew both families very well since I grew up in the neighborhood dating back to 1974. Stop the rumor spreading bullshit, if you don't know you don't know. Like I said, I lived it, I know. Having said that, before all the bullshit all them cats were cool, Flex, Buck and KK.

Well said my brother people want to be authors about shit they don't know nothing about nobody knows the facts like the deep Street dude at the end of the day them dirty doing dudes die a thousand lives every time they look in the Mirror A good dude does once those dirty bitches know who they are a coward grimy Motherfuck is and they can never look you in the face bitch made motherfuckers RIP Buck and K ur gone but not forgotten

Anonymous said...

I remember them all to we'll I actually saw kuri laying in the streets when he was killed and Bucky he was my forever crush. I remember the hookie parties in the basement RIP my old friends thank you for giving me some pretty great story about how I knew and hung out with the RSC!
Forever in our hearts!

What's up yall! Ive been following the careers of these guys for many many years, now I'm not a 70's generation Bboy, not even an 80s generation Bboy. Ive been in the scene for many years and have represented and paid my dues in ad out. Anyway, I'm from the 90s but I've known many of these guys personally for 20 years now, including C-Legs, Swift, Lil Crazy legs, Spider Chino, Frosty Freeze was my best friend and mentor for more than 15 years. I met all the guys going back and forth between prov, RI & NYC When I was a kid dancing and I still do dance and travel till this day. What I will say is huge respects to the Marcano & Soto family. There are a lot of evil people in this world. I didn't get the chance to meet these two partners before their unfortunate demise, but we should all be careful what info we put out there online. Its very sensitive and its very private, I know a lot of you gentleman speaking knew these guys personally. Lets all keep the faith. God does not sleep, or does not forget. God knows who is who and what is what. Leave it in his hands, He will avenge all that is needed to be avenged. Keep praying. Word. Peace!

So is flex out?

Anonymous said...

I wish to know more please. Did flex had connections with George 'boy george' rivera? That that means they both dealt drugs and boy george was the biggest king pin in the bronx during that time.

Anonymous said...

Also why was the feud about?

Anonymous said...

So flex was also a bboy and a boxer and he had his own crew called the hot feet rockers. And they were mean. They were bboy thugs. And later became drug dealers. Buck4 also became a drug dealer. Somehow things got bad.

Anonymous said...

First off i would like to say rip to buck and kk. Just to set the record straight yeah flex did get kk murdered and the beef all stemmed from a damn squirrel monkey he asked kk to hold for him that some how went missing. Yeah a fucking monkey. For those that were in that circle know thats where it started from. No sugar coating shit the drug game was the devil in this whole game. Flex thought he was god he let that street game get to his head thinking he was untouchable forgetting the code of the streets and what loyalty meant. Not realizing he lasted as long as he did because of the real ass motherfuckers that kept it 100%. Karma is a motherfucker because hes paying for his ignores now. Sad to say he got the easy way out. And crazy legs, brah, really, u make me laugh when ever i c or hear u speak about kk. Ur ass should b sharing a cell with flex so u can really suck his dick because u was sucking it hard when he was out and u damn well know u put kks location out there for flex to send to murder him. That straight up sounds like conspiracy to me if u ask me. As for buck i know kk did not have him killled them two were still hanging together behind flexs back all though kk was doing some dirty ass shit fucking his baby mama. Truth b told. Facts! But hey its not like buck was never told about it either. But for legs cut ur shit My dude with this pioneer shit because murder doesnt have a statue of limitations. Legs u should just stay in ur lane and nigga and stop riding on others names. U straight up r so fake in so many ways and the real definition of a snake.

Buck 4 and Kuriaki were great dancers that inspired me, as well as other B-Boys from the 70s/80s. The details of their passing is not my business, only the memory of their skills. I'm thankful for that.

I heard that Buck got murdered off Kurs family and vice versa in relation to some sort of messed up drug deal?

This shit is bugged. The streets been watching. Crazy Legs from all the years i remember never mentions Kuri only Buck. Its like he has disdain for Kuri or maybe guilt for giving up Kuri's location as stated above. Not surprising though, I heard he used to do Frosty Freeze RIP dirty. RSC's legacy been tarnished. Shit is sad

So much sadness, and harsh words. Back in 1983, in California, we were the crew on our block. We had fun, but we never got really good. I use to wish I lived in New York to hang out with the real bboys and learn from them. But after reading all this, I'm glad I wasn't there. I would like to wish everyone a peaceful day, and please stay away from drugs.

Kane79 said...

That's cool but I remember summer 1985 and going to a party with Flex, Buck 4, Kuriaki, Spanky and saw you hiding from us as Flex wanted to beat the shit out of you. You left immediately. BTW Flex was about 5'5 and a boxer.So I guess you didn't want to get embarrassed being linked by someone half your size

Kane79 said...

I had the honor of staying with him for a week in the summer of 1985 at the end of breakdancing popularity.it was an awesome experience, i was only 15 they took me everywhere. During this time I held a gun for Flex for the first time as he beat down an Italian guy from up the block. Saw someone get shot for the first time, saw 2 rumbles, saw graffiti filled trains, and almost go in Latin Quarters, but was too young. Went to outside jams, one at the water and power parking lot, illegal hook up of electricity, and one at a baseball field for WBLS radio station His family took me in and fed me during my time there and got to talk to his beautiful sister, but I was too young. I'll always remember that summer kept in touch for a while, but once the crack era came into play it was over and shortly thereafter his and Kuriaki's deaths.

Crotona183 don't know what hes talking bout. Flex wasnt making no Mill a week knocking off 200-300 bundles(20-30gs) a day.Flex Had some side deals and Biz that added to pockets but no mil a week and not more than Boy George. Never. Although the crew was the meanest. Buck had coke biz, flex the D biz. Up in the air about who offed Bucky but did see Flex pull out joint at Bucks dome over money shit when they started the hustle but dont belief he could do that. He went crazy when buck was murdered that was his downfall. Flex Def murked Kuri and Legs played part cause he thought Kuri did off his best friend. Plus never had much love for K. Legs was in the game as was Doze and other RSC members getting paid. Money was too good. This is the other side of story everyone speculates on but I was there and know.

Anonymous said...

i read a book called random family that briefly talks about the kk incident. kk and dealer boy george had the same baby mama. the female met kk at one of the hooky parties thats been talked about in this post several times. george had a baby with her much later on but she kept in contact with kk behind his back. the book says he did get murdered in mount vernon by some people that were considered friends at one point.

Too much info, but thanks anyway. It's sad to see Puerto Ricans men lose their lives over BS. I was there, trust me. looking back at all the lost friends and wondering what would they have been if it was not for the drug game? What do their kids think when they read BS about their dad? How are their family doing?. I am from 183 Prospect, so I know the truth, but damn that is a lot of info!! Their is a price to pay for everything. The greater the game, the higher the price. Everybody gets into the game with good intentions never believing it will change their soul. The good, the bad, and the ugly... Everyone will shed a tear..

Pete Tanner said...

Shit is sad RIP to these two legends..I really hope Legs didnt sell his former crew mate down the rivef giving up his location. All of these years Legs never talks about Kuri only Buck.

Unknown said...

wow didnt know Legs was bitch made that way..all these years and i too wondered why he never mentions Kk, only Buck

Kid Kool-Aid RSC said...

I always knew Legs had something to do with this. I'm sad now.

This is very true concerning Frosty Freeze. Frosty and I were very good friends he was actually my mentor. He was not treated very fairly in pockets of years at different times. Including being kicked out of the crew, snubbed, and talked about, cast down and shoved away.

The reason being is because it is in actuality a demonic game the devil is involved.

All in all we all have to remember one thing gang, drugs are always one of the major factors that turns friends, family members, colleagues, whatever against each other; because in actuality, it is all crucially a demonic tool of the enemy. Drugs have always been in a spiritual sense demonizing and wicked not to mention its physical, emotional and environmental destructions. satan uses the drug culture to cripple mankind. Not only for the fact that it tears families apart and kills people, but what I'm saying is to even want to sell drugs in the first place the devil has to enter your mind and heart. And the wicked intents of men's Hearts boils over continuously. The money and the materialism is only a lure by The devil to appeal to our lusts. These two gentlemen along with thousands and thousands of other people who were involved in the crack boom of the 1980s played the devils game and of course lost.. We need to take inventory and think about what is really on the other side of Eternity? our souls, and where does "the real you" go after you leave this world. There is a real heaven and hell ladies and gentlemen.It's never a good idea to buy, sell or use drugs no matter what the premiums that are involved. Look at that, two guys dead, and a brother who served 26 years in jail for conspiracy murder.. I actually know the sister of Bucky and Flex.. she's my homegirl and dear sister In Christ. awesome charming young lady. As far as Crazy Legs goes. I have known him myself for 20-something years. Yes legs can be a shifty character in some aspects, but I'm not about to drag any ones names in the mud. Thats not me.. Because I respect people. One great thing I will say about Crazy Legs, is He did me a solid when my own little brother passed away in 2001 at the age of only 17 shot and killed violently in the streets of Prov. RI minding his own business. When he heard about it, he quickly honored his name and Legacy and threw a Bboy jam for my family and all of us, in Hunts Point in the Bronx.. and I greatly respected and appreciated that. Anyway,all of this is neither here nor there.. be careful of negative comments and so forth esp. A lot of sensitive information was divulged here, Publically. These gentlemen have family members, brothers and sisters, kids that must deal with this continuously their entire lives. Let me tell you something the hole in the hearts of those who lose family members especially to violent crimes never fully gets filled. Only the Lord can help with that. At the end of the day God knows exactly what happened and there is retribution, and there is repayment of punishment that is involved. Sin and wickedness cannot go unquenched. God deals exclusively and justly with things like murder, but not limited.

P.s. why Kippy D, Frosty Freeze, take one, shy 147, lil Edgar, few others memories are not celebrated.. I don't know. But I plan on starting to celebrate Frosty Freeze's Life and Legacy with a B-boy jam every year, exclusively for him on his bday, because he was one of my best friends and my personal Mentor. Peace yall.

Is it true Crazy Legs doesnt even own Rock Steady Crew anymore? I heard he sold the crew name to a mexican “B-Girl” who comes from a well off family. Rumor is her father bought her the crew for her birthday. This is as of 2017, Hence the 40th anniversary was the last RSC anniversary.

Flex was notorious yes facts. I must add that at a house party on the first floor to one of his spots we were having a great time until he got tired of seeing the party people have fun he came in with his goons and started a riot in the apartment. I must say I did see him get punched in the face and instead of fighting the ( I must add much younger brother) kid that punched in the jaw he started looking for his goons to help do something about it. That was my first and only time seeing him up close and personal. He was standing right next to me when this happened. And yes when I found out that it was the almighty tuff guy they called flex I was shocked to be able say that I saw it go down and he did nothing on his own. And he was and still is a short man in the physical form. When fresh frank got killed at Poe park by the park ave boy named trouble ( Jose aponte) he did nothing. He was scared of Joey. Your not a tuff guy when you don’t handle your foes but yet you kill your friends. Flex keep up with your bisexual ways. Your a hip hop homo and you know it.

Let's mention all the brothers that backed the crew up they deserve to be remembered as well especially for putting their lives on the line for the crew

The only people I know that are down with Crazy Legs anymore are either people that don't know the deal , ass kissers , people who are naïve , or people who are in it for hype. That dude done got exposed a long time ago. He aint no good and double crossed his own people/friends over the years , worst of the worst. How after 40 years is RSC gonna have the same President , get real , dude chose the name over his own friends , power hungry attention whore ! Money over Loyalty !!!!!!

Yo!!! His own brother killed them??? But why??? Aww this is messed up, and why are people scared to talk about it almost 30 years later?. Who ever did it have not escaped THE WRATH OF GOD 🙏🏼📖🌹🌹

SisterTruth said...

What do you mean no blacks allowed?? It’s time out for Latinos denouncing their Negro roots. All the blacks( not Africans) and Latinos ( not Spaniards ) are all ISRAELITES, that’s why this white man got us labelled as “ minorities “, because he knows the Blacks, Latinos, and native Americans Indians are all the real Jews: THE ISRAELITES. But you got some light white Latinos want to be like the white man , so are you sure to share his judgement on that great day when his judgement is handed down to him

MadNewYorker said...

I saw Buck and Kuriyaki back in the day in upstate NY, right outside of NYC a couple of times when they came through with my older sister's ex boyfriend, and they seemed cool as shit, but they were kind of quiet. Another time I saw them was at our local community center because the same guy threw a party there one night, and Buck was doing his thing on the turntables and the rest of the RSC was breaking, even though it fell off then. My sister's ex let me and my homeboy in the party free, and as soon as we walked in, the RSC had just knocked out a guy from my hood. I can't front, that shit was kind of funny!!! Before we knew, RSC were grabbing big @$$ army duffle bags that didn't look like they , had records in them,if you know what I mean.
That's when I found out about their street activity, and why Crazy Legs was never with them when they would come through.
There is a book called "Random Family" written by the girlfriend of kingpin Boy George, and she spoke about the murders of Kuriyaki and Buck4. She said that Kuriyaki was murdered in Mt. Vernon NY, and his body was in the trunk of his car. I lived 15 minutes from Mt. Vernon, so I find it crazy that back in the 80's Kuriyaki was near the place where he died years later. I don't remember if she spoke on Buck though??? I always believed that they were killed over some street shit.

Lots of info to digest. I'm a total outsider, live in cali so all I know about rsc is what tv and documentaries have told me..

Anonymous said...

I grew up almost idolising RSC. Living in a Northern town in Yorshire, UK I never would have thought or even imagined in my wildest dreams the stuff I'm now reading was going on. Now in my 50's I look at them as they were my own kids and essentially they were innocent until the demonic presence of drugs came on the scene.

It's all so sad and frankly shocking, especially with the situation with Kuri and Buck- damn hey were such cool guys! how could anyone want to hurt them is beyond me. of course I'm on the outside looking in but I hope they rest in peace, justice will of course be served by our Lord Most High. That type of crime will get you Hell for eternity for sure.

We will all have to pay for our sins and crimes alike. No one escapes Judgement day. Peace out to you all, please stay safe and learn to love one another especially now with the NWO plan to cull us all.

Lord have mercy on all of us.

Yes anon Yorkshire..I too have idolised crews like rsc & nycbreakers..all this info is eye opening..unfortunately it cannot all be a bed of roses..it must of been hard for these talented people to separate dancing/making music etc from the other stuff that leads to jail/death..it’s tough in the jungle..I choose to remember all these guys for their amazing talent which brought joy to millions..rest in peace guys & respect/condolences go out to all the families.x

Soooooo is it true about the recent allegations of Crazy Legs being a Sexual Predator to BGirls?

I’m here after learning the allegations against C.L via YT....as a Bronx native ( Melrose ) I grew up looking up to these guys....all the graff heads and bboy / bgirl....to see Katz come up from poverty through art and talent that the world or better yet America didn’t take seriously in the beginning....but after 40 + years Hip Hop is still here...I’m shocked and amazed of what I learned today but it does answer a moment in my life...a discussion about RSC with a co worker ( back in 03-04) and the worker said “them boys did dirt ....”. That flew over my head it didn’t make sense and I didn’t bother to ask why. Dude was the older type so I thought “ f is he talking about “...after time has passed and internet getting bigger and better....here it is out in the open....never thought for a moment....in one word.....disappointing

Anonymous said...

CL was a snitch from way back the reason he doesn't talk about Buck is cause he knows something and now with his recent allegations fucking around and abuse towards other bgirls you know for sure dude has got a dark side to him its all over for you CL

Sad about KK and Bucky, how the game got them fucked up, never new the story about these Two Legends, disappointing to hear all the stuff about Legz, met him and seen few times throughout the years, I never knew all this info...every Year on Their Anniversary Legz must relive all this, sad way to live...Soldiers Die one time Cowards die a thousand times...don't mean any disrespect to the fallen Legends but what happened to Frosty Freeze and Take 1, still wondered to this day about Their Passing.

Sad. Very sad situation. All I know is that RIP Buck 4 and KK were the best breakers that I've seen. I'm 46 years young and Buck was one talented individual. So was kuriaky. Ken swift too. I honestly wish I would have met them. RIP to both those guys. Much Love from Anaheim southern CALI. My homie Boulevard lives out there I think Brooklyn. He was at the Roxy the day they filmed the movie. Beat street. I can watch the movie over and over. RIP Bucky and KK

Respect and love from Israel.
I remember Buffalo Gals exploding and bringing it all for the first time. It immediately blew my mind. That was at the time no one here in Israel knew what hip hop, breakdancing and all that was.
I think I was one of the first guys to breakdance here in Israel, back in the early 80s, and the rock steady crew were definitely part of me.
Then came beat street which was another huge hilight.
I followed the guys closely as much as I could then(times with no internet, youtube and all that).
Being at that time with all that music, dancing and basically the birth and first steps of hip hop is a blessing.
RSC, Zulu nation, all the classical rappers...amazing.
Today breakdancing is very virtuosic, but nothing compares to the magic of that beginning era.
I miss it a lot and sad for all the great guys who started it all and are not here to for the wrong reasons.
RIP Buck 4, Kuriake and the rest.
Never stop the body rock.
