I am about the same age as them, and I've enjoyed following thier careers over the years. Each album they have produced is very different, and I eagerly anticipate each new issue, knowing I will be treated to something totally new. Contrary to the typical 'star' activism of making an ad, playing at a benefit show or whatever, the BBoys have almost hidden their star power and chosen instead to provide substantive support to causes they believe in, especially on Tibet, choosing to let the cause garner the headlines, not themselves.
