125 Super-Hype Bboy Mixtapes That Will Fire Up Your Next Practice
This post was originally published on breakdancedecoded.com.
Here’s a piece of advice shared by one of my friends on how to become more creative in your breaking:
Listen to different music.
After all, as he puts it:
Movement comes from music.
And the type of music you listen to will inspire the types of movements you create.
That’s why bboys are always on the constant lookout for new music to break to.
Simply because music is the fodder that feeds our inspiration to create new moves and movements.
And for many of you out there, you get your new music via the newest and latest bboy mixtapes.
I mean…
What better music to blast at your practice spot than an hour long mixtape consisting of hype songs that are well-mixed by a dope bboy DJ?
I know that feeling.
(Furthermore, you don’t lose that vibe and hype in a mixtape — it keeps going! You lose that continuity playing a list of full songs on iTunes or Spotify.)
And that’s why for the benefit of all of us, I’ve put together a MONSTROUS list of bboy mixtapes (with the help of my friend Ivan) that will get you all fired up for your next dance practice.
All you have to do is to select one from the list, hit ‘play’ and start practicing.
Who knows?
You might end up creating dope new movements original to you because of one of the tracks within.
Or you could be inspired and hit that 2 rounds of airflares you’ve always wanted.

Did you manage to make it through the entire list without feeling like you want to throw down?
It’s okay to admit you didn’t, because I fully get it.
After all, how can anyone not feel motivated to break after listening to ANY of the bboy mixtapes in the list above?
It’s (almost) impossible.
But you now know what to do in your next practice. All you have to do is to turn on your speakers, pop one of these mixtapes on and turn that fire in your belly into something original of your own.
Now tell me:
Are there any dope bboy mixtapes that I’ve missed out?
Pop them in the comments to let me know!
