Boom Dizzle versus the titans of roller disco.
The Reebok “Framed” campaign went all YouTube the other day. They dropped the Baron Davis short film (above) to a somewhat confused response from the blogosphere. Perhaps that’s because the OG art of roller disco has suffered mightily in the intervening 30 years. So, in the interest of context, we at FTB offer you an opportunity to see where Baron stacks up in the pantheon of roller disco. First up, BD’s clip. Personally, he’s lightweight clean with it. But where on earth did he get that ‘fit, much less the moves? Well, now that you asked, we bring you the following.
Next up, a scene from the Earth Wind and Fire movie “That’s the Way of the World.” I personally remember being about 11 and trying to get with “September” at the roller rink in Hayward with disasterous results. These folks are getting it.
Which brings us to Rudy Ray Moore in “Disco Godfather.” Now, Rudy Ray is better known as Dolamite, but something is really going down in this clip. It’s almost NSFW, but dang, so was the entire time period between 1976 and 1979.
Now, to the vote!

BD’s man cleavage is a little disturbing….
