TheLegendsLeague: Cloud

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

About 10 or 12 years ago I did an illustration of a young dancer who had just won the Vibe Magazine B-Boy battle. It was a nearly random drawing that was accompanied by another illustration of a young upcoming turntablist who is now more commonly known as DJ Craze, (google that motherfucker). Both of these drawings were just exercises in line drawing that I gave myself in order to refine my ’skills’ back in the day, and I had NO idea what kind of impact these two individuals would later have on the Hip-Hop world.

I remember a while back when Cloud started battling with bandanas tied around his hand and wrist, his hair spiked and a dress shirt on. A lot of people were on some shit saying he was just a boy band dancer, and he wasn’t a B-Boy. But he has since been able to effortlessly transition from B-Boying as a passion into dancing as a profession, now serving as Madonna’s Lead Dancer. I don’t understand how anyone can hate on this level of success.

This video of Cloud (Skill Methodz) is a quick compilation of some of his sets from 07-08. And I don’t think it’s too hard to see why he’s one of my favorite B-Boys/dancers of all time.

For those of you who know him, I know there’s a TON of mixed feelings about Cloud. For those of you who don’t… enjoy.

I Welcome Cloud To My Legends League.

note: watch it all the way through. brilliance.
