FloorLords Crew Floorlore – The History of hip hop theatrical In 1998, the Floorlords developed the concept of a theatrical stage production which involves various styles of dance with several different disciplines. The dance styles ranged from African, Meringue, Salsa, Tap and Jazz combined with Capoiera and other martial art forms to depict a full and diverse show. All this coupled with the five (5) elements of hip hop (DJing, MCing, Graffitti, Beatboxing and B Boying/B Girling(Break dance) morphed what was natural to this crew into a two hour stage performance entitled “Floorlore, The History of Hip Hop”. The show is about how an array of dance styles along with various disciplines are intrical in its contribution to the hip hop culture. It also demonstrates how hip hop as a culture is not so negative as it is often portrayed by some through media, video as well as individuals who do not follow the true essence of what the culture is really all about. (Cursing, fighting and wearing your pants hanging off your butt for example does not necessarily make you a hip hopper.) The concept of the show involves different ideas that were put together by all the members of the group who specialized in these specific art forms. “Floorlore” was first performed to a sold out audience at Northeastern University’s Blackman Theater and is still today being performed by the group to sold out audiences at theaters and colleges all around the country. The show consistently receives rave reviews through newspaper publications in the multitude of cities where it is performed. Also at present, the crew has been incorporated into an entertainment company called “The Floorlord Movement” where they organize events and perform at community centers, concerts, nightclubs and schools all across the nation.Floorlords Crew Bboy/Girl(Breakdancing)Company From Boston Ma Visit the Website to Support @ www.floorlords.com//index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1

History One of their first breakthroughs was winning the ICA B-Town Rap Battle in 1986. In 1988 they released the single, “We’re Notorious.” Current Boston hip hop favorite Akrobatik said “Initially I would think of RSO Crew who were from here and making any type of noise. Locally, if I turned on the radio, those would be the guys that I would know who they were and follow their songs. I’ve definitely been checking them out from the beginning.” In 1992 they released the EP Revenge of da Badd Boyz which created controversy with the single “One in the Chamba,” which was inspired by two killings of youths by Boston Police. The Boston Police Patrolman’s Association (BPPA) pressed charges against the group under a state law that prohibits inciting assaults against public figures. The Almighty RSO spent a short period being part of Queen Latifah’s Flavor Unit, appearing on the album “Rollin’ With The Flavor”. In 1996 they produced their first full length LP Doomsday: Forever RSO which included the singles “You Could Be My Boo” featuring Faith Evans, “The War’s On” featuring Mobb Deep and “You’ll Never Know. In 1998, Scott (now known as Benzino) and Ennis (now known as Twice Thou) formed the group Made Men with Cool Gsus and released an album entitled Classic Limited Edition.
