Boogaloo Shrimp - The Breakin’ Legacy


Listen Later

The Breakin’ legend himself, Boogaloo Shrimp, joins Taboo to relive the film that defined an era — from street corners to Hollywood stages, from Breakin’ to teaching Michael Jackson and touring with Lionel Richie.


Boogaloo Shrimp, the pop-locking pioneer behind Breakin’ and Electric Boogaloo, sits down with Taboo for an unforgettable deep dive into the roots of hip-hop dance and street culture. Shrimp reveals how freestyle and faith took him from LA’s Radiotron scene to performing on tour with Lionel Richie and teaching Michael Jackson the moves that changed music forever.

He shares behind-the-scenes stories from the iconic broom scene, the rise of breakdancing in 80s Hollywood, and heartfelt memories of his late friend Bruno “Pop N Taco” Falcon. It’s nostalgia, innovation, and the real history of hip-hop’s dance revolution — all in one conversation.
