[Icycold96]

MN Joe should have won... hands down all the way... so much more style and cleaner power moves

[Aurkus23]

I'm a fan of both and both were dope as hell, but I think Mn def took this! Also not to sound racist but a certain angles Mn Joe does look like Jet Li!

[thekillakombat]

All of you would probably cry if that happened to any of you lol

[aerowolfy]

@FYMFL lmao shut the fuck up. this is the comment section you tit. people can say whatever they thought of the battle here.

[FlystyleCrewTraining]

0:39 if i where kareem id slap the shit out of minisota joe

[disaznboii19148]

@FlystyleCrewTraining You do know it was Kareem that was showing disrespect, right?

[FlystyleCrewTraining]

@disaznboii19148 agh shit my bad ur right :P

[soulguru]

Red bull is full of shait the most comecial shait ever next to BOTY. Whatever happened to the art that puts the passsin into teh heart?

[13atyi]

Kareem FAT SHIT

[cyllenBBOYSK2]

@13atyi Dude he would smoke you soo bad in a battle!!Many of you dont know but he is actually a really nice BBoy in the scene..Soo all of you guys qyb..Its a battle!!An hes actually not fat dude if you seen him in person you would know dumbass!!

[magortom]

@cyllenBBOYSK2 I met him once and he scared me with his stature. what a ripped dude! But yea hes nice

[QULLLL]

Kareem thinks hes the #Mother Of God#

[thatbboyrandom1]

flippin robbery!



[isickraw8700]

@etheralx23crisis yeah i was just saying for example they all know how to respect each other during battle and after, but dissing someone during the battle is perfectly fine cuz its still a battle and they gotta call each other out on there moves and what not but its always just fun and love anyways but remember when Bruce lee threw kareems hat across the room lol now thats disrespect i dont expect bboys to be like that during a battle Lol

[isickraw8700]

its a battle your suppose to have no respect until the battle is over just like a fight u cant be in ufc trynna shake the guys hand doing the fight show ur respect at the end win or lose

[etheralx23crisis]

@isickraw8700 Who said you have to disrespect your opponent? who said you cant respect them? This isnt set in stone, watch Poe Ones philosophy on battling. Yeah its a battle and all but thats the thing, keep egos at the door and leave it on the floor, not in ones mouth ya dig?. Bboying is more like a tennis match than it is a UFC fight, its artistic, and its only the battle and respect.

[AnJelllo9607]

Look at all the butt hurt MN Joe fans in the comments hahahaha

[ChucyLong]

MN Joe. He didn't need Redbull. Look at where he is now. Battling Lil G, battling Jinjo, etc. Battling at the top level! MN Joe all the way!

[OYCProductions]

MN JOE!!

[jajapan08]

lol kareem really doesnt like MJ style huh

[magiksity]

kareem kool lukin ass nigga thinkin his all thatn shit , btw i dont know who the fuck i

[KashiKatz]

Kareem wins? What the fuck roxrite.

[DarkElixirDubstep]

lol some politics decision i think..

kareem is like trying show joe the beat.. when he is on beat. kareem comes out.. no top rock.. when he does its not on no beats haha

[allentran4]

lol joe always wearin a green sweater

[djrsbright]

Sooo everyone's asking why MN Joe lost. Sure he has crazy power buuuut it's jut power. I doesn't signify the dance or more over its not what the judges are looking for. Anyone can do power but not everyone can actually bboy. Don't get me wrong i'm a big fan of both bboys its just clear as to why he lost is all.

[HaoTheHeck]

@djrsbright I agree on what you say about power, but I think you should rewatch this battle. MN Joe was on point mixing style and power (same with Kareem). Im not saying MN Joe should of won but he definitely didnt use power only

[djrsbright]

@HaoTheHeck

Indeed although i never said all he did was power. :D

I see and understand that both bboys mixed strong power tricks and footwork into their sets and both are extremely skilled. I'm just saying that Kareem had more of what the judges were looking for. Joe was just plain unlucky :( I appreciate your thoughts and thank you for not flamin on me xD

[DarkElixirDubstep]

@djrsbright lol your comment actually makes me laugh.. "everyone can do power"

SUREEEEEEEE.

and the fact you said joe had just power is not right either. i think he had more character than kareem,

in joe first run.. footwork and flava made up most part of his run too.

[djrsbright]

@DarkElixirDubstep

Listen buddy i never actually said Joe ONLY does power. I specifically stated "he has crazy power" never said that's all he does. Also, yes, anyone can do power that's what it's there for talk to any bboy they will tell you it's for everyone. I would know I bboy. Foundation on the other hand is not for everyone which is why power heads exist. As I said before Kareem obviously had more of what the judges were looking for that's all Joe was just unlucky.

[bboyfofao]

AUAUHAUHUA .. kareem win .. lol ..

[actionstyleusa23]

Mn joe destroyed.

[IsraeliBboying]

how the fuck kareem won... mn joe fuckin killed him..

[Ch0wch0w1]

how do you lose a battle after pulling off double tombstones..?

[MrBboylucas]

ROBBED !!

MN JOE ♥

[VictorOmegaKrew]

crazy power moves....

[KidKnyte]

it's not like we havent seen the shit kareem had, honesty who havent seen the stuff kareem oo flares airflares .. was doing? MNJ had style and powermoves,

[emwolb4231]

the reason why joe lost was because he stopped his sets in the middle. he was totally phased by kareem's antics. you might say kareem was being disrespectful and what not.. but those are bboy tactics...

it's probably what tipped the scale toward kareem.

[0mfgitzjimmy504]

song?

[silentnocturne]

To me i think Kareem took it due to the difficulty of his moves. MN Joe is fresh but not enough to beat Kareem's sick powermove variations.

[disaznboii19148]

@silentnocturne Kareems moves weren't that difficult o.O

Not too mention MN Joe's moves were very diffcult and he had alot of flavor too.

[jongsong86]

@silentnocturne

Seriously? Look again lol, double tombstone mills. Lotus Airflare.

[bboyrooster]

@jongsong86 i think when it comes down to it Kareem won for his clockwise/counterclockwise mixup and the flow of his power combos

[jongsong86]

@bboyrooster

Ehhh, doesn't impress me..

[disaznboii19148]

@bboyrooster LoL you need to watch again, he did all his stuff in the same direction..

[drakeblackmon]

Robbery.

[strategos91]

I think Kareem didn't give enough respect. :S

[BboyGrimm]

as far as i judged it, without looking at these stupid ass comments first, kareem took first round and they tied 2nd. Kareem

[nikeballin]

To people who says Kareem does repeats and shouldn't won..you guys are stupid..MN Joe does the same moves everytime as well...GO watch most if not ALL his battles...

And im a Fan of Both MN Joe and Kareem...Stop saying Biased Decisions and stop being ignorant fucks.

[RyuDragonMS]

@nikeballin

Not to prove anything but..

Bboys/Bgirls have their own moves and they are limited to them at many times.

If you are gonna see a lot of people's highlight videos, of course they are going to show their best moves so in a sense your saying thats a repeat? It's different places at different times in different videos, I don't consider those repeats, it's who they are and their style. I feel the battle could've went both ways, don't call people ignorant and swearing off.

Unneccesary.

[Nhocxc]

this battle was a joke. MJoe obviously took it considering his originality and style beats airflares and swipes anyday.

[THEPACE0FLiFE]

MJ is Jet Li in BBOY!

[NikiLeonForce]

song



[Edy502]

kareem isn't bad at all. hell of a lot better than i am. he just lacks sportsmanship; no one likes a dick.

[bboynse]

kareem is garbage...

[pinkbirdegg]

Anybody get how he didn't have to wear a black sock along with the white one??

[manifest773]

I would have beat them with my hands locked :DD

[beautytheinfilth]

MN Joe wins because his glasses did not fly off! LOL!

[Bboyslinky]

Why do people have to judge battles that have already happened? Just enjoy the battle.. cause seriously no offense but since they've declared a winner already our opinions don't matter.. so arguing about how was better or whos dickriding or whatever just respect both BBoys and the judges decision

[witness3rd]

you guys are weird.

[demonkid26]

MN joe was sooo beast..... I hate judges......always favor.......

[WhatchamacallitAl]

Kareem had no respect in this match-up .-. I know it's hip-hop and sh*t but come on, you gotta have some sportsmanship mang! Minnesota Joe will have his day. It's coming watch! Who can do powermoves and still keep their glasses attached to their face? WHO?! Minnesota Joe can :B

[xxbboyxxAgamexx]

@WhatchamacallitAl Lilou...

[DriftDweller]

@WhatchamacallitAl

uhmm, and Lilou also. :B

[LaPulgaBR]

@WhatchamacallitAl Sorry Lilou can do this too

[ThePocomito]

@WhatchamacallitAl Lilou can



[TheBboySpartan]

@WhatchamacallitAl ummm theres always Lilou :D

but I like MN joe way better

[IMaxForceLE]

@WhatchamacallitAl nigga its a battle who shows respect in a battle well some do but it what get people hyped up

[thomas70378]

@WhatchamacallitAl Glasses + Power + Stay on = Lilou too! xD

[2NoLo7eThug1]

MN Joe could had done wayyyyy BETTER!!!!

[barristersbrew]

MN Joe won hands down.

[adeldart]

i thing mn joe win this battle

[forbiddenXsanctuary]

woooooooooow judges were blind damn

[Jortegasjournal]

Kareem is a 90's breaker, that is battled thousands of breakers throughout his career, he knew how to handle Joe, he is probably the most experienced breaker so far. I remember him with rock-force in 96! He took this one, by a pound!

[KyleRebueno]

@Jortegasjournal So if he won this round because he's a 90's breaker why did he lose to Vicious Vic? Vicious Vic is one of the youngest there. Its not because your a legend or a "90's breaker" that your automatically gonna a win a match. Its about the moves you show and how you show it.

Not dissing you or anything. I'm just stating my opinion and thats all.

PEACE. :)

Oh yeah, MN Joe got robbed. AHAHA! :)

[Jortegasjournal]

@KyleRebueno Breakers from the 2000's just don't get it. Its not about crazy acrobatic moves, its about killing the beat dancing, and Kareem is just a better B-Boy, the other breakers except for Morris don't have that spirit, so therefore got smoked!

[KyleRebueno]

@Jortegasjournal I see we have a different way to look at bboys and i'll leave it there. So yeah, no disrespect here. :)

[disaznboii19148]

@Jortegasjournal If you ask me, Kareem did far more "crazy acrobatic moves" than MN Joe.

MN Joe brought much more flavor and musicality.

[Jortegasjournal]

@disaznboii19148 MN Joe's moves are not his, Kareem is an original. And he "clack" the beat better. I danced since 96, and breakers now are copies of copies!

[disaznboii19148]

@Jortegasjournal Dude, if you put it that way, all bboys are biters. 90s bboys are not OG's.

90's bboys learned from other bboys, so therefore, by your logic, 90s bboys moves are not theirs either.

Minnesota Joe was not the first to do those moves, but neither is Kareem. I'm not seeing your point.

[KyleRebueno]

@disaznboii19148 He's being a dick. Right? AHAHA!

[BboyZeus95]

@Jortegasjournal MN Joe invinted airflare to lotus pose, idont think other bboys can do that move

[disaznboii19148]

@BboyZeus95 I'm almost certain other people did that before.

Although He's the first I 've seen do Double Tombstone, Handcuff Tombstone, and Superman Munchmill.

[BboyZeus95]

@disaznboii19148 Yeah how about threading tapmill, and double grabbing mill

[disaznboii19148]

@BboyZeus95 I've seen alot of people do double grabmill lol.

[BboyGomez14]

@Jortegasjournal kareem was never on beat...

[nigarubenacker]

ROBBED



[2096204]

L.O.L Kareem toprocks n footworks suck like hell, thats how power is

[PhiltyLayBack]

Mn Joe won

[OKGaur]

all i can say is that how the fuk did MN joe loose agains Kareem

[zenkyleMS]

How is the top comments complaining on how Kareem won? It was kinda obvious damn Kareem had the battle. Mn Joe was great but his moves was ordinary. Kareem won because he showed more extraordinary moves and freezes that require much more skills than what MN joe did

[disaznboii19148]

@zenkyleMS Superman Munchmill and Double Tombstone are not ordinary.

Kareem's moves are in no way "extraordinary." Not to mention MN Joe had much better style.

[noobs4lyfe]

As much as I love MN Joe, Kareem actually had that one. MN Joe did impressive mills but his 2nd set wa sshort. Kareem knocked out decent combos.

[maccioskull]

MN JOE LOOKS LIKE JET LEE.

[ElectroSonic15]

for some reason whenever kareem was toprocking, i got the impression that he was injured.....

[CjkPHD]

Politics.

[MagnificentRyan]

Song?

[JayB4934]

@MagnificentRyan DJ Tee - Calypsorock :D

[mbua1]

Was that a toprock . . lol MN Joe all the way

[journeyofabboy]

I met Kareem when he visited Vancouver, BC. Dude was a nice guy, and I was rooting for him on this video. But I personally, thought MN Joe should've advanced!

[BboyCHAcolate]

MN joe got robbed. nuff said.

[Maximuspyridius]

MN joe was robbed! Should have gone for longer on second set though..

[ChucyLong]

Now that I relook at it. Look at Kareems sets. Repeats.

[theaznamazin]

Mn Joe too much first set. Not enough second

[emilronn96]

Mn Joe should have win this battle!

[i8myrice2day2]

Joe lost because of his 2nd set. He shouldve added a little more to it.

[steven4801]

I'm from Minnesota and right when MN joe Lost I stopped watching. lol.. MN joe shoulda took it more Creative POWER!

[sqbossh]

Wtf, Winner for me is MN Joe!!

Kareem do so much mistakes, judges are blind ...

[BBoyStepN]

@sqbossh So you're more qualified than well known bboys who've been in the game way longer than you have. Interesting. Each judge looks for different things and place more importance on different aspects of bboying. I would've voted for a tie myself, but again the judges know more than either of us do, so respect their decisions instead of calling them blind.

[sqbossh]

@BBoyStepN

Nobody say that I am more qualified of corse I am not.

But I saw so many mistakes so I was suprised that he won.

(so it's why I say they must be blind, but I respect all the judges) , - do a mistake is a BIG minus

for me, but as you say - every judge have a different way to judge and the prefer different things.

[Yamyampocky]

Kareem's attitude pissed me off for some reason

[dis1zsh0nny]

I'm pretty sure half of the viewers are from the MN Bboy community. xD MN LOVE! :D

[thatbboyrandom1]

damn what a robbery kareems power was whack compared to mn even though joes power is not as unique but his form and everything else was flawlesss . red bull be trifling man.. at least he repedddd.. hardd. i give that guy nothin but props but kareem has to stop doing walk overs.... only thing that was real was his elbow tracks..

[kuebradera]

joe wins sorry kareem 

[TheRookieLyfe]

How the hell did Kareem win?? It's gonna be a thumbs down for me cuz MN Joe should've won that battle.

[DTN1029]

any1 know what pants mn joe wears?

[TKFChipmunk]

Mn joe shoulda won

[f3armobsta]

Bc one has the worst judges in my opinion

[BboyStampede]

@f3armobsta do you wanna judge? they are judging there for a reason. dont hate

[SaNsToRmS24]

mn joe got robbed 

[gonuttiness]

song name? :) thanks!

[FranzGotzSteez]

MN JOE FOR THE FUCKIN WIN!!

[bboyn21]

@FranzGotzSteez yessssssssssssssssssssssssssss­sssss !

[electrolyteKaosiz]

bottom line,If you guys are unable to do these moves and better ones you really should not be speaking harsh about anybody bboy or not.You guys still fail to realize just how big'a douchebag you people are turning out to be.and then got the neve to want to shake my hand at jams? man fuck you fake bboys.

[Krimzj]

How insane. These battles will most likely top BC One battles.

[Nameless2k6]

Yea, I dunno about that one either...

[bboywizard501]

@sandertrieu1995 and he moves like jet li :D

[KarlSoLiven]

Not gonna lie. Kareem's power was cheated. foot was on the floor half the time. But still, no place for me to talk bad because he's competing. Not me.

[BBoyStepN]

@KarlSoLiven I believe you put your foot on the ground for swipes... (no troll intended but just pointing that out)

[bboyflowsion1]

damm mn joe took dis :D

[MiKeYog05]

MN joe took that

[TippmanFaith]

what kind of sweater is mn joe wearing and where do they sell it? A LOT of bboys wear it, especially menno. The fabric is slippery and good from power or what?

[JosephHonKong]

@TippmanFaith

mocknecks, you can get them from thebboyspot website/store google it or bboyworld online stoe i think

[joe907]

haha i hear in the background after the judges made decision. . ."really..?...fuck idk about that.." haha dope battle, i think mn joe took that

[Aznmoss]

Dan That's dopeee~

[Rockadell]

That's gymnastic,

[GenericallyJackulous]

Yeah I think Joe took that one both rounds by my count... Too bad

[92kazuma]

MN joe should won this..

[ChucyLong]

Kareem also barely styled at all.

[BboyLando95]

MN Joe won that round Kareem is good but he just didnt do anything special.

[MrTogo50]

wellllllllllllllll it is kareem

[Akiiiiiiiiiiii]

IN my oppinion kareem didn't do anything special.

[rchung312]

felt like Kareem had a lot of repetitive sets...can't say who deserves the win but kareem could've done better..

[BboyZeus95]

Superman BabyMills , Double tombstones , HandCuffed tombstones unbeliveable 

[BBoySarang]

Name of the beat anyone?

[AlikaSEOULROK]

Judge - "We're looking for blow-ups, style *cough* (Blow-ups), attitude, blow-ups, orginality (in blow-ups). Let's have a clean battle."

[BBoySarang]

MN Joe has crazy first set but his 2nd set was not long enough. He was holding back. I see MN Joe break all the time. He so much better than this.

[limitbreakervic]

That double tombstone is soo sexy

[samynorte]

no me gusto como bailo kareem,le falto mucho estilo.solo se paraba en bertical pero sin estilo...aguante Ronye

[DyVrSitYProductions]

mn joe did superman babymills and double tombstones i just cant believe......... props to both bboys.

[bluefieldchecker]

thank you for including the result of the battle

[multienjoy007]

MN Joe

[bboyart9]

the same shit all the time: repeat n repeat

MN Joe got no support & respect as it seems... as for the other villager : go loose some killos and then put some style n toprocks.

one love

[minnabby]

I like MN joe better, but I think Kareem took this one, MN joe was holdin back.

[najma50000]

1:02 He is biting Bboy King So

[zezoB101]

@najma50000 seriously ? everyone one in the world does that its like calling someone a biter for doing a six step -.-

[minger619]

@najma50000 You're an idiot

[smokey17duck]

You can definitely see that KHCali swag in MN Joe style lol

[godchildrenofsoul]

yall just mad cause a nigga beat yall boy LMAO..... lol kareem won sorry.... mn joe 2nd set was on point

[davidthekwak]

kareem isnt that clean in his moves anyone else ?

[Holyfiremikey]

@davidthekwak lol he didn't even crash anywhere in his sets. He is clean, he's been breaking loooong before youtube even existed.

[psycho0550]

wow! kareem totally lost this battle...
