"If you ain't doing what (Alien Ness) is doing, you ain't doing
nothing." - Wyclef Jean, Fugees
"When (Alien Ness) came out, the game changed!" - Mr. Wiggles, Rock
Steady Crew
"Without battling, bboying itself would not exist. Every aspect of the dance was created
for competition, and every move is judged according to its effectiveness as a weapon.
Through battle, b-boys and b-girls learn to use humble discipline as a
foundation for arrogant creativity. They transform precision and finesse
into symbols of raw aggression. They attack without mercy,
yet still see their opponents as distinct and valuable human beings.
Ultimately, battling teaches its disciples how to style to reconcile
opposing forces, a skill that may well be at the heart of Hip-Hop
itself. It is certainly the reason why Alien Ness can simultaneously be
one of b-boying's most vicious warriors and also one it's most respected
diplomats." - Joe Schloss, author; "Making Beats: The Art of
Sample-Based Hip-Hop"
