  • in what dvd its that battle?

  • omg salah jus got OWNED!

  • its so funny to see this compared to how they are now lol they're effin beasts now!!!!!

  • salah is still recycling the same old moves 10 years later

  • Bionic man took that cookie!

  • How could I say who had a better musicality if I cant here the real music from the battle??

  • My Lord...bionic absolutely wiped the floor with him!!!!

    His glides are well good!

  • how old is this segment

  • This is circa 1999.

  • need the actual music to this battle. why over dub ova this!

  • This was an old vid I found through the forums. On the original VHS tape, I can't make out the music. That's probably why this clip had music dubbed over it.

  • The Family Vs. Rock Froce Crew, on a red VHS tape, I used to own a copy. Would love to get a hold of the orginal

    Dat whole battle was dope!

    Epic?

  • Yeah, I got the red tape, too. Were you able to hear what music they were playing?

  • When I had the video, I did, although alittle distorted, but I couldn't figure out the artist or song title. I've since lost the tape and can't find any other clips on the web that isn't edit! Can you help a brotha out with any of the orginals???

  • Bionic is dope! reppin CA. Killed Salah!

  • Bionic's glides were incredible, Salah was murdered his deffinantly got a lot better since then

  • dam sik battle looks like salah lost

  • Put the music is not an original culeros

  • DAMN... this is the first few Popping Battle Videos back then when i first started breaking... Props to Salah and Bionic Man....

  • I'm a really big salah fan but,I have to admite that salah was murderd...=[

  • deeeaaaaaaammmmmmmmmm bionic killed it....he used to hit really hard back that!...He killed Salah!

  • I believe that Bionic does not use this exact style anymore because this was in a popping street battle and in a popping battle he wont get no points for it so he dont bother he keeps to the rules

  • yo for all those dudes thats say he aint no real popper ur wrong salahs a popper just wih a different style

    bionic is raw too i think bionic took this battle

  • a of the best battles wat i see

  • how come bionic looks more skilled here in 1998 then now?? well dont know for sure if I can call it more skilled, but I like this style right here!!

  • fuck you fuckin americain piece of shit you always think you are the best.france killed you in 1998. you are just jaleous of french touch in hip hop and break dance

  • FRANCE?? what has france given the world? french bread is all i can think of at the moment

  • haha Sallah is no Real popper Stupid Clown

    he is one of the best Soo stay hating Peace out hater

  • haha lol yeah

  • salah is good at wat he does..but it jus aint real poppin. People jus get amused at his tricks cuz most dont kno wat real popping is. Bionic on the other hand has the craziest technique ive seen...hes a true popper..salah is nothing more than a sideshow act and a clown

  • What good is technique if its not as good to watch as what Salah does?

    Salah wins because the crowd likes it. In a dance competition, its the crowd and the judges who decide who wins, not the dancers.

  • tricks or not (which salah only did tricks)

    its obvious bionic won here

    and bionic stay true to the popping style

    all the poppers that add contortionism into their styles have my respect as long as the majority is popping/ Salah & rober murraine are example of poppers who stray away from the style to much when they perform

  • @jacobtwo2

    please never include robert murraine and salah in the same category ever

  • I know you don't believe that. You should really watch Salah more. He can do almost ANY style he just chooses not to at some points. He can do boog just as good as others. Not to take anything away from Bionic because that dude is straight raw. But to call Salah a clown..that's a tough opinion you have.

  • Salah is a great dancer. He uses poping elements but most of the time he just moves his body parts in all types of crazy ways. He doesn't have the classic poping technique. Bionic does

  • A lot people def. dont know the deal.

    This was at The Notorious IBE 1998.

    This was the start of a cypher battle between Bionic Man and Salah which ended up in the entire Rock Force Crew battling the Family for almost 1 hour. The Bionic man vs Salah part is much longer then the 2.25 min from this video.Just get your hands and that VHS Rock Force vs The Family video, its a classic. or buy the IBE 1998/2005 compilation which has the whole Salah vs Bionic Man part on it.

  • damn 1998 guess most peeps don't know how long salah has been around

  • bionic smoked him.

    A rematch now would be interesting, I have a feeling salah might win, but...

  • Bionic battled Salah at UK BBoy Champs 2007 and lost. I think Bionic got better since this battle, though... I can't really tell without the original music either.

  • @4iiii Bionic is actually getting better as we speak, I'm one of his students, he's dope.

  • someone please upload this full song

  • bionic killed salah in dis one lol

  • bionic ripped him... daz wassup tho i wish supreme soul would have stayed longer... they would have taken it.. all of them battle basically.. pharcyde is nasty 2

  • this is the first time i think i repeat i think salah lost i dont know if i have 2 c the whole vid cuz it looked like some of his part was cut short 2 favor bionic but if not yeah i have 2 give it 2 bionic 4 the simple fact that i think salah got kind of fustrated 4 the first time bcuz bionic had some good moves and he should of just trusted n his moves cuz there always good .

  • sahlah and bionic are amazing hands down...

    personally i believe that sahlah is better

  • someone has to upload the whole battle please

  • salah won! bionic suck

  • wow FUCK YOU

  • name of the second song ?

  • hey , bionic man won=) Can someone tell me song name of the two songs ? Thanks!=)

  • the song if Light Shade of Brown "Hey DJ"

  • anyone else use that royal flush beat besides honda on this track(maybe honda produced it for flush's album but i don't know)?? for some reason i'm thinkin nas used it in a song but my mind is drawing blanks?

  • dj honda beats tight like rope!!!!!!!!!!

  • smoke some cronic and laugh.. you know who won..

  • wow salah still does all that gay shit like takin off his shirt and doin some weird gay shit with his stomach

  • yep salah still doesnt pop, shame

  • don't get so worked up off of salah fans seriously you realize your acting like a completely panzy ass just because people like salah

  • I think salahs little nut hugger is talkin about when Rock Force Crew vs Vagabonds Crew(The Family). vagabonds crew still got their asses whooped on. at the end bionic and salah hav a little battle and bionic fuckin killed his ass and salah does some gay shit at the end at the battle nothin special.

  • calling people salah nut huggers when your clearly a bionic nut hugger your just the same as them just for a different dancer.....

  • If this clip is all I have to go on, then I throw my hands up for Bionic. Salah's not a bad dancer, but in my opinion (In this "clip") Bionic has him. If theres more I'd like to see it.

  • what sample is this. nas has a song like this and i can't rememeber the name

  • wow huggiehuggie1 you must fuckin LOVE salah. =_=

  • yeah his 70 favorites are all of salah. btw nice facepopping by bionic...

  • eyo beezy huggie, if Salah did win and you HAVE seen the entire video, then please, say what he did to win instead of just saying that he "won the crowd over". Oh and btw salah is koo and all but i've seen him loose plenty of times, please stfu with your nonsense.

  • i dont know about him loosing plenty of times! Maybe when he first stepped onto the dancing seen! You must forget he is ranked the number 1 dancer in the world. and in dancing you cant loss to be rated number 1. and if you know anything about dancing then you would know that in a battle whoever wins the crowd over is the one who wins the battle.  That is the first thing you have to know about battles

  • sorry dougs david elsewhere is still the champ

  • elsewhere will get murdered by half the popping population

  • elsewhere is not a popper...

  • David elsewhere is a fucked up bitch, i don't even see foundations of Popping and boogaloo in him

  • probably cos hes not popping you stupid son of a bitch

  • bionic is more all-around with more technique, but salah does much more difficult-looking moves. he can defy gravity. but w/o a huge crowd of hip hop-less fans, bionic crushes. this is one of the greatest battles ever. i wanna see salah at bboy hodown!

  • This is only a piece of the entire dance

    Salah fukin murders Bionic mans whack ass

    lol u guys make me laugh so hard

    i wish u only understood and actually seen the entire video

    stop fukin hating... and stop with the ignorance

    Salah won the crowd at the end

    and the dance

    hes insane

  • From all your responses it seems like YOU'RE hugging Salah's NUTS. Dude, I enjoy watching both dancers, and I acknowledge Salah's skills are like no other, but lay off the nut hugging. I have the tape in my possession, so send me a link to where you watched your so-called entire video, otherwise I call BS you Salah nut huggie. Don't disrespect Salah by having excuses. I'll post the rest if they exist.

  • Lol this isnt the entire video

    NOOOO ur ignorant and you dont know what ur talking about

    He won the crowd again at the end

    Hes insane these moves he does man

  • never noticed until i saw this vid that Bionic resembles Bruce Lee

  • salah got ate up in this clip, but this was before salah was really salah, as seen in JD 05'

  • Salah was always Salah... he just got HELLA better

    as did Bionic

  • I have the video BOTY 98, still runnin good and goin, I ll post it up soon so Stay tuned....

  • Very nice. Please inform me when you do because I'd like to see it, too.

  • yo i couldn't fit the whole thing so i went and fit it on Google. i ve got to edit it more to cut each part so it can fit on youtube alright.

  • jesus this is incredible

  • I've seen the original of this battle about 7-8 years ago, it was Rock Force Crew(USA) Vs The Family(France). From memory the popping battle was a prelude to the main bboy battle.

    Rock Force beat The Family at BOTY 1998 and the Family wanted a rematch.

  • Thanks for reminding me, I forgot to actually put that in the details. I saw the vid for a sale a long time ago, but this is vid is from the rematch correct?

  • Yeah this battle was the rematch, The Family were pissed off about the BOTY result ( they came 2nd to Rock Force Crew) and wanted to rematch. I can't remember which crew won the rematch tho. BTW I think it had a different song in the original vid but I do recall the audio was pretty bad so that's probably why it's been dubbed over :)

  • This was the rematch. The original audio that went with the vid was quite poor so maybe that's why it's been dubbed over. But i remember the organ donor was playing during the intro of the video and it was the first time i heard it, mind blowing :P

  • Daaamn, Salah got served!!!

  • when bionic hits salah wit da bruce lee and salah convulses that was just hilarious. dat bruce lee move is tight though

  • Although salah is one of my all time favorites, bionic had some crazy moves back then giving salah a run for his money. In regards to the whole hyun joon stuff, he's really good (one of the most respected actually) but i dont see him as a truly innovative dancer.

  • hyun joon has trick's not soul that's why Pete, salah, chuco, even pandora and on and on etc... kills joon. tricks run out, "Soul" never runs out.

  • bionic served him up a poo poo platter

  • yep bionic won this battle

  • bionic man got it sorri 2 say...

  • wuts the name of the first song i cant find it no where!

  • can you tell me the name of the first song please?

  • DJ Honda - Hai! (feat. Keith Murray & 50 Grand)

  • I would have to say that salah is my favorite but bionic man is the only one i have seen actually give salah competition..everyone he battles sucks..bionicman won because obviously this is really early in salah's career..holla back..

  • yeah, Salah is my favorite Funkstyler, but Bionic had to have taken this one. He even had crowd control. Bionic is def becoming one of my top guys along with JSmooth too.

    I've only seen one battle with Hyun Joon and his battle style was mediocre at best. He should stick with routines if he can;t step it up in the circle. Salah and any other top tier guy would smoke him in a battle.

    BTW, SimeonK sounds like a racist hater.

  • agreed

  • hey brother..at where did u watch bionic vs hyun joon..do u have tht video?? pleass reply me asap..thanks brother

  • joons only been in one battle and that was when he went up against kin i dont no about you but he literally had the crowd. He hit on beat real well. Im sure he's good for battles. Your just a salah fan boy by the sounds of it anyways. yeah and seriously how do you know if joon would loose if theres only one freakin battle of him online period.

  • dingy do u live underneath a rock? hyun joon's been in only one battle for a reason.. cuz he scuurrd and would get smoked here in the u.s., france, or japan~

    and that battle with kin .. he hardly hit the beat.. just did a bunch of lame tricks.. had some akward angles.. sloppy transitions.. while kin freaked it~

  • salah is one of my favorite dancers but i think bionic man got it

  • Damn the quality sucks. Appreciate the upload though. From the little I seen I have to give it to salah. He just seemed so much more in control. Bionic looked like he just was all over the place, made it look sloppy.

  • Identical Styles? naw man u got it all wrong... Salah would lose vs Hyun Joon. Bionicman is asian and his style was different than regular poppin liquid

  • anyone know how to do the stomach thing salah did.

  • all u gotta do is fill your stomach with air by using your diaphram...to do it like salah u gotta be born with that..thats an abnormal thing..cause anyone could do it just not that far..

  • What's the name of the secong song, please?

  • lighter shade of brown - hey dj

  • love both these poppers. N wtf, naytron ur roomates with bionicman?!? damn, tahts gotta b the most flava'd room ever hahah

  • Salah would beat Hyun Joon like nothing. Those damn asians think they're the best, yet all they do is have identical style, and jump around the stage. Salah has elegance. It just looks so tight.

  • hey dumbass thats not hyun joon its bionic man fuck face.

  • finally sum1 that gave salah a run for hes money in a battle, id like 2 see him battle hyun joon

  • it was an underground battl as 662... said, at the battle salah won

  • Next time PLEASE put a song that goes with the dancing styles in the video shown. This song is good, but its a "TOTAL CONTRAST" to the dancing style of what is shown. Good dancing is only 1 part. Good dancing to what song is being playing is a whole new level. Please understand

  • Next time PLEASE keep an OPEN MIND and DON'T ASSUME. I know it's a "TOTAL CONSTRAST," but I didn't MAKE THIS. I just wanted to show everyone something I downloaded a LONG TIME AGO that just wasn't on YouTube.

  • who won?! bionic!!!!

  • it is undergound battle.... final battle sally win salah  semi final battle salah win bionic

  • thats my roomate right there! It's the biooooonic

  • that mufucka slid around the whole ring how sick is that????

  • who won it was pritty tight!?!?
