R 16 International 2008 - RIVERS[KOREA] vs TOP 9 [ RUSSIA]

[animal491]

Rivers lost...??

[bboyxxxcactus]

PHYSICX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[youveber]

whos the first bboy?

[just1hesame]

@youveber the first one you see in the battle is robin from top 9 .. and for rivers routine SuppaZilla, red foot, c4 (in the order they came out )..

[furiousgeo33]

first off all comments on how robin is racist is pretty much invalid cause flying Buddha is half Korean himself he wouldn't let robin make fun of koreans or any asianS 2nd off it was a tough battle but top 9s routines sealed it rivers did better individual tho

[bboySillyC]

What the hell we're the judges thinking?

Rivers ftw...

[TheSCwiku]

2:28 - its super

[TheSCwiku]

Born 3:00 - 3:53

[MrJhuneo1]

russians are gay..korea all the way

[bboyACIDE]

waw rivers !! ^^

[veedabestchef]

alot of people but they just sitting there...

[MrA4b]

sooooooooooooo  stupid!!

[ilioheketor]

born 3:50

[ItsKJae]

3:46 and with the beat also lol.

[bboikiller]

wowwow, russia and french has such long routines, just something ive notice, asian pride!

[oakestilo]

damit never mind, forgot to see the very end

[oakestilo]

dam, top 9 must be pissed that they always lose in the finals.

[Orelion]

@oakestilo They did win in UK champs and in BOTY '08

[philly131]

yo at 2:39 i think thats benny ben he smoked that guy bad lmao

[jaytrini91]

born's round made top9 nervous look at there faces

[jaytrini91]

what's wrong with the dude in brown he was actually on beat. 0.47-0.57

[Breakdancingguru]

I've never seen Top 9 that cohesive with each other. Back in the day they never worked as a team like that. That was awesome to watch thanks for the upload bro.

[samalhoodman2]

first time i see rivers got relly fucked

[helical]

song please , the one with the Fire vocal

[hungermusic]

I was reading the comments about bboying, and its worldwide presence... europe and asia vs. american media.

I have to say, 1 thing that makes me proud, is that the first song, Hang em' High Chadeo re-edit...

I produced this song in America. It was released on a German Label. And is now being displayed in a bboy battle in Korea... worldwide!!! y'all just keep doing your thing. I appreciate the love.

[TaegukiStyle]

Yes i fucking agree completely with girtisholland. Doesn't matter if it's a fucking battle point is as a human and a person with a sense of moral code, you just don't make racial gestures to a fellow bboy. JDO491 is a fucking idiot and probably just internet bboys all the time.

[JDO491]

whatever man we all got our opinions and favorites, robin happens to be my favorite bboy and i stick to defend him. you cant say he is a disgrace to bboying off of one video ya know because from what ive seen him do is amazing

[girtisholland]

Nobody here said Robin isnt dope and mad talented. He went too far here by voilating an unwritten code of respect and dignity. Theres battle tactics and than theres what Robin did. If bboy was born out of racism, bigotry, and hatred, then it would be an African American and Latino scene only. Whites, Asians, and all people inbetween would never have been a part.

[girtisholland]

That, however, was not the case. The scene brought all walks of life together under one movement called bboy. Where a white and black man could be a part of something so moving that even today its unity is underrated. Robin regressed the ideology of bboy with the gesture. He shouldve expressed his anger in a set not a racist gesture.

[benadesouza]

i know R16 wont want rivers to win it anymore bcos they won it in 2007 bt i kinda pity Top 9..they win bt they dont really deserve it, its just cos the judges are told to not let the Koreans win all the time, same shit happened in BOTY 2008 against T.I.P

[DZMPLZ]

yo after seeing this after a time ,..it looks like WAR!!!!! LOL

[girtisholland]

Wheres the first part of the battle? Theres a part where Physicx cuts off Flying Buddha and the mood gets intense. Robin from Top9 pulls the corners of his eyes back to make ¨Asian eyes¨. Its probably the most disrespectful, bigot, racist gesture Ive seen in a battle. Robin is a fucking disgrace to bboy and the unity of race, color, and creed it represents. He shouldve been thrown out of the battle. It was so blatent and everyone saw it.

[JDO491]

get your shit checked man robin is hella sick and hella cool

its a battle what do you expect all kisses and huggies

[cardboardhome]

not huges and kisses just repect u fag. being racist is not respect.

[18n0m]

born had a crazy ass set there

[jesseymdg]

[killafreeze10]

[juliusoh]

[JiRocket]

[Bboyashiya]

BBOY BORN <3

[TippmanFaith]

can you give me the link to their ballerina bboy show. i want to see it.

[TippmanFaith]

is jo-t still in rivers?

[felofilipino]

well they're not all power.

they have bboy renew and bboy rhythm gate AT the least.

[Bboyashiya]

baek and crazy :D

[EdDy4RheelZ]

People think I'm hating the competition. There's nothing wrong with helding competitions because it tries its best to bring out the best bboys to battle it out. I just don't like the fact that medias try to commercialize it in public as a sport.

[gamblerzapprentice]

aite im wit u on the commercializing shit. but if u got concerned entrepeneurs sponsoring it and not selling it out as a sport its fine. idk y its on eurosport or wat theyre doing over there but on kbs, bboy ducky was on air and let me assure u that it wasnt commercialized and sold to the public as a sport. and plus bboy ivan and mc superman ivy got it. u aite wit that?

[baeksi34]

bboying wouldnt be as popular as it is now if it wasnt commercialized via media and it would die out like in the 80's without the publicity.

[felofilipino]

absolutely not.

i hate to be another one of the people saying this but...

the american media legitimately raped bboying. you're saying that it would have died out? people only know bboying as breakdancing, and as the worm or "spinning on your head"

it's just sickening.

now when you say it would have died out in the 80's you're wrong there too. bboying had already spread to other countries, countries overseas. This dance was never gonna die out.

[baeksi34]

well people can have different opinions... all im saying is bboying wouldnt be as popular as it is now if it werent for the media. get it?

[Deejayjskillz]

@felofilipino it just died in the mainstream my friend and stayed in the underground where it should be thats why its remained as creative as it has for example look at hiphop in general when it was not mainstream it was cool then the pop charts jumped on in with 50 cent etc and now the greatness has gone cus its all about the ££££

[EdDy4RheelZ]

There's a difference between MTV and Sports Channel. MTV is hip hop media that plays music videos and shows related to hip hop, rap, and pop. You don't see bboying on ESPN, FOX Sports, or any major local broadcasting media.

[EdDy4RheelZ]

Americans don't broadcast bboy battles. We don't broadcast Bboy City, FreeStyle Session, Lords of the Floor, Hodown or any competitions we have or had.

[gamblerzapprentice]

u dumbasss. in korea nd europe ppl kno wat real hip hop is. how wud we ever get to c these battles if they werent aired in hd. boty is broadcast too u faggg. wats so bad about showing the world wat real hip hop is as opposed to this gangsta rap sht thats dominating. id c this any day over soldier boy - discussion over-

[EdDy4RheelZ]

BOTY isn't American. And BOTY never broadcasted bboying. It was only sold on dvd. And bboying wasn't made to be treated like some Olympics. Fucking idiot. Bboying isn't a sport. Bboying is a DANCE, which is an ART. There's a difference between ART and SPORTS.

[gamblerzapprentice]

and art is never broadcast on tv...? ur a fuken idiot. u dont kno how much bboys appreciate it wen they c shit on tv u fag. dont say shit wen ur not a bboy. ur 1 of thos cocky ass "im gona stay geto for life" bitches. get over it. grow up. bboys need to eat too. i bet ballet is on eurosport too. isnt ballet art, a dance? and KBS is not a sports channel btw. dude go and be part of the community. go to bboying events instead of watching this. and go back to school and get educated for hip hop. pce

[EdDy4RheelZ]

Yeah, I already got education in hip hop. I've taken a course in hip hop culture that's in Sociology category. So please, don't lecture to me on hip hop when all you do is suck Gamblers cock and powermoves. KBS is a HUGE LOCAL KOREAN BROADCASTING PROGRAM, just like FOX, ABC, CNN, NBC, etc. idiot.

[EdDy4RheelZ]

why are you mentioning soldier boy? THat soulja bitch is in MUSIC industry, not Dance industry. Korean powermoving fags and media ruin bboying, although not as much as soulja bitch destroying hip hop.

[gamblerzapprentice]

theres no bboying without power. ask any good US bboy. iv asked bboy kareem from rock force and he agrees. iv probly been in the UNGDERGROUND bboying world longer than u cuz. u dont kno how much it helps the comunity and bboys to hav shows sponsored and broadcast. the hosts for r16 wer superman ivy and bboy ivan (usa) so stfu. -over-

[EdDy4RheelZ]

lol, Kareem is a full powerhead with barely any style. I've sessioned with Ruen and been in cyphers longer than you. Ruen himself knows fundamentals and basics although powermoves are his forte. There's nothing wrong with R16. It's a competition, just like FSS, BOTY, RBBC1. I hate the fact that broadcasts like KBS, Eurosports, MBC are broadcasting bboying. Keep competitions low profile. Don't broadcast it as a sport. That's the point I wanted to express. Fucking idiot.

[gamblerzapprentice]

aite im good with that. but when u got mcs like superman ivy and bboy ivan, u dont hav to worry about it being broadcast as a sport. that ballet arguments pretty damn valid. y do u want this shit to b low profile. wudnt u rather hav real hip hop dominant and gangsta rap shit underground. i'd rather hav the world kno how its done. its up to us bboys to prevent corporate interference from there. but mtv broadcasting red bull is real f'd up.

[EdDy4RheelZ]

There's no bboying without power? I know bboys who barely have ANY power, even less than me, but who understands bboying and kill other bboys and powermoving fags in the cyphers. I'll list you few. Alienness, TekNYC, KillaKeebz, Kirk, Lego, I can go on and list bboys who barely have any power. Kareem is a good US bboy? He's an old school powerhead, you idiot. He's known for influencing powermoves. Fucking idiot. Oh, and I've sessioned and hung out with Ruen. Even RUEN says power isn't everything

[Breakingclub]

soulja boy lmao. ppl think hes hip hop. *choke*cough*

[Vietpr3]

Top9 won this, and went to final.

[EdDy4RheelZ]

This is horrible. Koreans and Europeans are broadcasting bboy battles on tv. Very horrible and disgrace to bboying community. Pioneers of bboys will be very disappointed by this.

[ManEaterL]

I guess born killed everyone

[glory2die]

rivers all the way!!

top9 sucks !

[gamblerzapprentice]

very tru. they keep crashing. unclean and offbeat too. top 9 sucks. its just cuz ppl havent seen their sht yet but the worlds gona get tired of them soon. imo theyr destroying bboying. wat ever happened to being clean and on beat

[krnboinoon]

agreed!

keepin it fresh!

[EdDy4RheelZ]

Your name says it all. You're just another Gamblers' dickriding fag who dunno shit about bboying. Gamblers are nothing but faggoty powermovers. Only ones from that crew who take powermoves to next level are End n Lazer, who are lexicon of powermoves. Other than them, no one in that crew is amazing. I would might Flex or Sick for flexibility but I've seen enough flexibility from Law and Rubberlegz and they don't dance. Their flexibility shit is what I can see from ballerinas n figureskaters.

[gamblerzapprentice]

dam. ur anotha 1 of thos USA style dickriders. i got mad respect for bboys like milky (mind 180 USA mofuka) got style and power. dont act like ur th shit. 1 gamblerz got beter style than u. 2 personally i feel that all style ruins bboying just as much as all power esp in terms of crews. and lazy ass unclean, offbeat bitches like top 9 r even worse. i lov all bboys who hav ken swift's style no matter wat country theyre from. im not a dickriding racist like u.

[EdDy4RheelZ]

Nah, I'm not US style dickrider. I respect bboys like Born, members of TIP, Expression, Drifterz, Hong 10, Rivers. I just don't like Gamblers and Extreme Crew because they do powermoves all day and repetitive routines that bore everyone to death. You on the other hand, dickride Gamblers and powermoves 24/7. And please, Kareem is just a powerhead but people give him credit because he influenced power, along with Boy, Ruen, Caveman, SEC, etc. Why not meet any REAL bboys like Luigi, tekNYC, etc?

[gamblerzapprentice]

and im not a korean power dickrider. so we're good then.

my fav. bboys r ken swift inspired style heads, all rounders (like ken swift, milky, free, casper, born, so, joe, trickx)

damn ur f'd up dismissing bboy kareem like that. respect ur old school legends bro..

im tite wit tip and iv met kid david and storm so dont tell me to meet real bboys.

[gamblerzapprentice]

damn wtf did i say. i gave mad props to other bboys. its not like i gave special kudos to gamblerz or anything. wats up wit u accusing me of sucking gamblerz cock. stop ragging on me for no reason u fucking idiot. havent u heard me give props to kareem, storm, mind 180, milky, casper, alienness, ken swift, mzk, free, kirk, lego, ivan, etc. man u blind or sum shit. who cares if my account name's gamblerzapprentice. i used to learn from bboy So (all-rounder wit sick style). dont hate for no reason

[iryoku1]

rivers crew ownd

[Godson2001]

I love Rivers Crew but Top-9 is Solid as Fuck. Gotta give it up to Top 9. tight Routines the Whole way through to kill time thats how you do it

[lillemau89]

[cwalker20000]

ROFL top 9 had so much more turns then rivers cheap ass fuckers

[ultranor]

born and physicx killed it. even battle i would say. top 9 had some nice original moves.

[rakugan]

[GeGeMus12]

[Alex361213]

wat about salah 4 poppin

btw project seoul would've killed these crews

[ChazSupreme]

most of the guys in project seoul/soul are from rivers :P cause project seoul/soul is Rivers, Drifters and Gamblerz

[Chindianboy]

this russian crew right here top 9 just won BotY 08 so you can stop talkin crap =)

[ChazSupreme]

BOTY 08 international? or for their country?

and that has no relevance to me talking bout project seoul/soul :-P

[Chindianboy]

lol was replyin to chocoramen my fault

[Ladymoonluna]

do anyone knows about the guy,the one who's they 'throw'away at 6.41 ? he's a killing machine,

[girtisholland]

Flying Buddha

[monkeyyellow369]

top 9 clearly took this

[desoan]

i wish shows like this were as easily accessible in the states

[mackdaddyninja]

if they showed shows like this in the U.S. then shitty dance shows like ABDC or dancing in the stars wouldn't make as much money cuz people would realize what real dance comps are like ;P

[mackdaddyninja]

dancing with* the stars! not IN LOLOLOL

[JunWoo1]

The judges for this event, were Storm, Ken Swift, Maurizio, and Katsu.

Wiggles, or Ness weren't even there

[xetious]

i miss the old physics where he'd kill everyone doing his signature moves, his new routines just arnt as badass anymore which is why they lost this time

[warlockyz]

man he still got hes signeture moves he just didnt do them in this particular battle

[rickboy89]

cause he had to serve time with the military

[khg8037]

rivers crew is dominating

[esmar3192]

BORN OWNS OMG~~.....

[eliu8]

[TippmanFaith]

[hiphop4soul]

i like it when benny ben slams a pan into that guys face...haha

[otherdude15]

[gtown876]

i thought it was a pretty even battle, but @ 6:40 top 9 threw that dude during their routine. i think that brought them over the top. but it was a great battle. much luv to born and rivers crew.
