about a year later bambaataa reformed the group, calling it the zulu nation (inspired by his wide studies on african history at the time). specifically, bambaataa watched the 1964 film "zulu", which sparked the name for the group. five b-boys (break dancers) joined him, whom he called the zulu kings, and later formed the zulu queens, and the shaka zulu kings and queens. as he continued deejaying, more djs, rappers, b-boys, b-girls, graffiti writers, and artists followed him, and he took them under his wing and made them all members of his zulu nation. he was also the founder of the soulsonic force, which originally consisted of approximately 20 zulu nation members: mr. biggs, queen kenya, dj cowboy soulsonic force (#2), pow wow, g.l.0.b.e. (creator of the "mc popping" rap style), dj jazzy jay, cosmic force, queen lisa lee, prince ikey c, ice ice (#1), chubby chub; jazzy five-dj jazzy jay, mr. freeze, master d.e.e., kool dj red alert, sundance, ice ice (#2), charlie choo, master bee, busy bee starski, akbar (lil starski), and raheim. the personnel for the soulsonic force were groups within groups with whom he would perform and make records.
