But honestly, we was fighting." Explained Mr. Wiggles. .
As money started to enter the game, the focus wasn't really on the original crews anymore. Squads were formed in order to capitalize off of the money making opportunities that shows, tours, and movies offered. .
"One thing I have to admit, is that even Rock Steady kinda got a little taken over by the management. Rock Steady was a big crew. So when you look at the movie, I'm like, what happened to Take 1? what happened to Wiggles and Fabel? What happened to Ty Fly, what happened to Jimmy D, JoJo, Mongo? You don't see none of them. KnowwhatImean? It was a weird time, because the management would only pick five people to do a lot of stuff." Wiggles explained. .
When it came to movie opportunities, The Rock Steady Crew was divided up to do different projects. When Crazy Legs appeared in Flash Dance, other crew members appeared in a movie called Portfolio, that ended up being shelved. When Wild Style came around, only five or six members from Rock Steady would get to represent. So, Wiggles decided to do the movie with Little Rodney C and Electric Force. Shortly thereafter, Wiggles, Fabel, and Freeze started their own crew called Electric Company. At the time, everybody was crew hopping. .
I can remember seeing Beat Street for the first time, and actually getting a glimpse of the some of New York's most famous B-boying crews on the big screen. Even though Wild Style is regarded as a more authentic Hip Hop flick, I actually saw Beat Street first. I remember the lead character Lee, being idolized by a lot of cats, and I always wondered if he was a real B-boy. .
"Lee was the kid that used to always live in the scene, and was always at the Roxy. He was a young kid that always managed to get in, cause he was too damn young. But, he was always at the Roxy. He was a quiet kid, that was down with the 3rd avenue crowd from the Bronx. Weebles and all those cats, they were in the movie too.
