rocksteady wasnt established until 1979,

this is a post by Trac 2:

The Rock Steady Crew was formed in late 1979 but closer to the 80's by Jo-Jo who was a member of the CC Crew who wanted to create a crew and establish his own identity and not live in the shadows of Spy and Shorty Rock who where the pres and vice pres of the CC Crew and other top Bboys that where around at that time. Jo-Jo met an up and coming 1979 Bboy Jimmy Dee(James White) in Echo Place in the Bronx where Jimmy Dee lived and came up with the name Rock Steady Crew,but the recognized pres was Jimmy Lee a former member of The Bronx Boy Rocking Crew.There were a few other ex-members of T.B.B who changed crews to become Rock Steady because of the loyalty they had for Jimmy Lee, members like Rubberband (brownie),Rim 180 (Jimmy Lee's brother),Me 2,Boobie,Angel Rock( Skiet ),Tito 183,Pauly,Lime 5,Popeye,Les,Slick Rick,and Green eye's Joe. Easy Mike ( Jo-Jo's brother) and a good friend CN also became Rock Steady members. The history that has been put out have names of T.B.B members that are not Rock Steady members, like Trace 2,Weeble, Doctor Ace, Brace, and Bon 5( aka T.B.B Joe). Trac 2 and Pbody 170 where from StarChild La Rock, Crazy Legs and Lenny Len battle in 1981 to start a chapter to Manhattan. The Bronx chapter of Rock Steady started to fade when Bunny Lee ( Jimmy Lee's ) girlfriend passed away. Jimmy Dee inlisted in to the Navy and Jo-Jo went to job corp, at that time the Manhattan chapter of Rock Steady excelled to become the most reconized Bboy crew in the world and had established there legendary status. This year The Rock Steady Crew should be celebrating there 28th anniversary not there 31st.
