[Menodrax]

I was watching Mike Tyson Boxing videos. How the heck did I get here?

[dubondsx]

@Menodrax good question my friend, good question...

[randomassorted]

@Menodrax

diving intervention. Someone somewhere thought you needed to enjoy this in your life

[randomassorted]

@randomassorted

haha meant to say "divine"

[poplock1963]

OH YEAH,HARD HITTIN! REAL GOOD.

[PepsiTitantic]

So beautiful.

[LilasRose1973]

This is REAL popping and how it's done. I don't know who he is but he's the best in my book, no doubt.

[bboyfdc1]

[sack1234ful]

song ? s:

[KelaBeats]

I can probably name about 47598437 people better than him. I session with PopnTodd and Poppin Kai, also Icon. This kid is worse than me, I should try out for this shitty show.

[ipohkengyeah]

he uses hip like none other.. the girl he fucked must have mutiple orgasm..

[ipohkengyeah]

when both people are on the same level, whos better or not boils down to personal preference. whut i can say is, whut kim did is hardcore poppin which only we poppers 'know' how great he is. for normal people/stupid crowd and even judges, doing tricks like robert is sth great.

[Xage85]

DAMN!



[Himura127]

Hey, I went to elementary school with this dude - ICS, Korea :D 

[noubani2]

What is this? Like a wanna be America's Got Talent? (there's like 4 people in the audience...)

[MJkid24]

@noubani2 its so you think you can dance and there isnt much people who watch it because it involves alot of other contempary dancing but there is good dancing in there tho

[scirfy]

@noubani2 it so u think u can dance. its auditions so its just the other people auditioning watching.

[brim1605]

ive seen way better. my fav mr wiggles

[92Arushi]

name of the song plz?

[kenkenka]

i like mia's old hair..ha

[unatics]

Where is this guy now? he has the greatest potential of all poppers, why is he wasting his gift?

[andrewhefler]

Can anyone say Elsewhere?

[azn1prince]

@andrewhefler as in David Elsewhere? If so, pfff....

[isasto1]

what is the song that he dances to?

[Davidmarklumley]

@isasto1 this song is "Going back to Cali - Notorious B I G

[alexsaga212]

@Davidmarklumley THANK YOU VERY MUCH..... 

[isurfu2ube]

THIS GUY IS GOOD!

[BrokenMotor]

I dunno the song but the beat kind of reminds me of More Bounce to the Ounce.

[ishmam1100]

[incognito2592]

As with it the base of the topic:C?

[incognito2592]

Which is the name of the topic?

[sampatrick]

so is "going back to cali" the track he actually danced to and the one that was broadcast was dubbed over the top or vice versa?

[Sup3rJrek]

dude omg thaat was crazy!! you seriously need to give me some pointers. im alright but not all that :/

[NinUchiha]

Nice his popping is on a high level i want to get to that level

[AlexCampos27]

hes best (:

[SuperROCKETMAn2012]

so beutyFul 

[tonga22fahca]

someone tell me what is the name of the item you dance?

[MrJuanpablo333]

go to juste debout!!! its easy to impress 3 old people :)

if you want respect you have to mess with the real poppers like kite, salah, djidawi, pepito etc..

[darrensymes]

@MrJuanpablo333 yes!

[dazza2151]

@MrJuanpablo333 Alot of you have to realise that once you get older, impressing the RIGHT people is much more smarter than just getting respect. Sure its nice to get acknowledgement from your peers and your community, but it don't pay the bills. Shows like this are a gateway for dancers to keep doing their thing without worrying if they're gna have their electricity taken away the nxt morning.

[SYTYCD4Life]

So You Think You Can Dance is this Thursday! Can't wait. And this dude is ill...

[WEMEF]

Now thats what i call dancing to the beat

[Atergia]

why does everyone change the original music?

[unatics]

My comment is ridiculous.

[elRampage]

39 people shocked themselves trying to pop like Kim.

[XCTenSO]

what song did he use for this audition?

[madworld109]

I've never heard of anyone looking down on popping...

[TaiXRox]

God, he has some NICE hits.

[thedeadmau5king]

he is ok but he just covers the basics of popping he isn't doing anything wow really .

[nextinline4076]

I went to High School with this kid! Damn! he's always doin the hardest shit and making it look so easy! AH! He's the deff of Dope!

[srgatillo]

good technique ,,bad steps

[Caliluv209]

This is fuckn' tight dam! I wish I cud dance like that!!!!!

[biebermustdie321]

this guy is like a human version of a subwoofer

[walkitout321]

nice dude but salah kicks your ass ^^



[unatics]

if someone dance better than him, find him and shoot him:)

[puertoricoman24]

@unatics there is many tht can dance better but wat i learned with kim was dance to the beat

[touchinpun]

@1:14, I shit myself...

[jianquah]

how did he hit so Big?

[3lv3r4ng3rftw]

man he hits to that beat like a maniac hes freaking good ^^

[barkaista]

is that real he die ??

[YungMalThaKid]

thanx 4 xplanen popn robotn and boogaloo but turfn merged that uniquely

[badmintonlover]

even after watching it a hundred times... i ALWAYS say "jesus he hits so hard!" amazing popper... he's really different compared to most poppers

[NaraDee]

watchin this again, i am still amazed. onion is sick.

[TheLalolover]

onion is nasty if u aint seen him in person u cant judge

[KeySour]

@rama333 ty

[23furtado]

freakin solid man , wat song is this?

[ironrose01]

I the words of Jack Black "That was tasty!"

[lovedemond]

DIdn't mean to upset anyone. I have watched video after video and just never saw anything that changed my mind. Please send the link of any one video of michael's that comes close to the dancers i mentioned and I'll send you back three that are to the contrary.

[azn1prince]

@lovedemond the video you see here should be what you're looking for. Do not confuse dance with entertainment. Dancing is not about how cool your moves look whereas entertainment is. What we dancers see in Mike is the funk, the groove and feel underneath his technique that the other 3 dancers you've mentioned lack. That's what makes popping a dance form vs just an entertainment act. As mentioned previously, the 3 you named are no where close to the top b/c that's what they're lacking.

[Looc105]

Thats seriously the perfect song for popping. Such an intense beat to pop to.

[ssjulian101]

Dood bringing the funk... People need to learn to appreciate the old school.

[APlayaProduction]

What's the song he dances too?!?!

[lovedemond]

alright! I'm sorry but this guy aint top trear by a long shot- not when compairing him alongs side of the Mike Songs, philip chbeeebs, and Robert Murraines of the world

[azn1prince]

@lovedemond I agree with the fact that this guy is no where near the top, but in no way are the 3 names you listed anywhere near the top! (Galaxies away from the top!) This guy's better than Mr. Fantastic for sure, by far! If you don't think so, you have no clue what popping is about! He may even be better than Chbeeb (I'm on the fence on that comparison). I've never seen Mike Song strictly pop so i can't make that call.

[Megawhites2]

@lovedemond of the world? if you want to compare people to those of the world then don't name just mainstream poppers. kite, franqey, hojin, slim boogie...ANY of these poppers will destroy those you see on tv. on top of that, each one of those are from a different country. that's worldly comparison right there.

[westernbaconburger]

@lovedemond

Lol the 3 people you named are nowhere near the top either in terms of popping ability but Michael is better than those other 3 you named in terms of foundation knowledge. If you want to see a top popper who has strong foundation but also a great contemporary creative style look up Gucchon.

[Jinsungify]

@lovedemond

I think that Mike Song is very great dancer, Philip Chbeeb is very innovative dancer, but Robert Muraine is just an entertainer. He doesn't realy dance, from what I've seen he only has basic tutting skills and crisp "hits".

[fizzo68]

@lovedemond Dude if u knew how many poppers are shakin their heads at ur foolish comment about cheeb, fantastic and mike song (who is not even a popper to begin with; neither is fantastic as far as I'm concerned). Maybe you can call cheeb a popper because every now and then he shows some popping foundation but robert and mike song have NO funk grove. Mike song is good @ hip hop (or commercial/newstyle w/e u wanna call it). But legit man do a bit of research. You'll get why kim is aight.

[KelaBeats]

@fizzo68

Let's see here.. first of all. Pacman sucks, I don't consider him a popper either. Mr. Fantastic does pop lol. Idk what you consider popping, but look it up. It's not just boogaloo or hitting like this kid does in this video. Just sayin. Mike song uses a lot of popping in his choreography but I agree he's not A POPPER. You don't have to have "funk groove" when you pop lol... that's the stupidest thing I've heard. So watch my videos of me botting. No "funk groove" but it's 100% popping

[fizzo68]

@KelaBeats You have to have funk grove; if you look up popping in wikipedia or ask any OG popping is a 'FUNKSTYLE'!. One of the two main funkstyles (locking being the other one). Now if it's a funk style obviously you have to have a funk grove. So it's not the stupidest thing you've ever heard. You can also bot and have a funk grove check out the electric boogaloos; check out the stuff that boogaloo shrimp does. One of the best @ botting and he's got funk groove. So yeah bro get it straight.

[fizzo68]

@KelaBeats I do agree that pacman sucks but out of the three 'popper's buddy mentioned he's the closest one to being a real popper......

[lovedemond]

@fizzo68 ok man now its time for me 2do what none of you have done since i posted that comment- that's 2upload a video supporting my position... (mike s. kills this dude even w free style "poppin"!) n 4those of you who disagree send me something 2the contrary. N THIS VIDEO AINT IT!

ps- if the dancers I mentioned herd what I was saying they would probably think i was an ass 4comparing artist against artist I'm not trying 2disrespect this guy I'm just sayin... SO proven wrong please... ANYONE?

[missme543]

the dude on the side of the girl with alot of hair was looking like pssshh i can do that while he was dancin

[Rico1991Makaveli]

Going To Cali !

[KoH4711]

Not the original song, wtf.

[AreJayable]

No one is the "Best popper" Because everyone has different styles. Hes really good! Keep it up! God Bless!

[soulicadus]

lol wen the judge says its like they put a shock throught ur body its terific lol in my head it playd i love to see ppl get zapped but thats obviously not what he meant cause that would be to perfect

[vibravibra]

He's so cute

[futbolusa]

he's not the best popper, but he hits fucking hard

[louloudau]

c koi le nom de la sic

[daralovestattoo]

[fer0net]

[AlternateDimension1]

beast mode!!!!!

[iluvrnb1]

i see so many vidoes of poppers, however let me say Micheal 'Onion" is the BEST, just look at him POP his whole body to the beats, he has rythem and groove and he is just about PERFECT to the BEATS. man i respect this popper and as for the others they dont really dance or have rythem they are just good with flexibility.

[SuperPluto10]

[smoothanyone]

1:14 What is the name of that move again?

[mrdominaterlive]

@smoothanyone Wave.

[SuperAwesomo4000]

He did hit pretty hard..

[AyroonSan]

What is the name of this song?

[MindWraith02]

they did a really bad job of dubbing that music over the actual song he was dancing too, why didnt they just play the original song?

[heyijustwannawatch]

Can SOMEONE please tell me where Onion is NOW? Did he just stop dancing? If that's the case I think I'd die.

[MrJmg071769]

Pac-Man, Mr. Fantastic, Onion. Definitely top notch.

[spritedblue]

@MrJmg071769 watch more poppers out there.

[MrJmg071769]

@spritedblue I'm old, and I live a sheltered life.

[spritedblue]

@MrJmg071769 ahh its okay. its nice to see there are fans out there in this type of dance.

[MrJmg071769]

Onion is fierce. Only way to put it.

[pacman78787]

@bboylue1 ah disapointment. i love it. lol jk

[pacman78787]

@bboylue1 lol nah. i wish. hes like my hero tho. the REAL guy is just "pacman" lol why the hell do u think i put "78787" at the end?? lol

[catlips]

My butt hole just gaped...

[pacman78787]

@bboylue1 lol but he can really pop to. like, he pretty much just jumps. lol he reallu hits it hard. lol i cant do that without looking bad. lol

[Coolrabbit111]

This guy is amazing! But he didnt win the show.......

[pacman78787]

@bboylue1 true, true. lol and poppers get LAID. ALOT. lmfao jk even tho its true. lol

[TheTobiramaSenju]

let me see, bryan gaynor phillip chbeeb salah robert muraine and this guy are the kings of popping (and some liquiding)

[pacman78787]

@bboylue1 lol its a fact of life. u cant really dislike popping. lol

[UniqueMovement]

Controling hits is pretty really hard especially hitting to every beat.

[Brigitte769]

i've been looking for this guy!!! he's amazing...

[MrArikaz]

@Brigitte769 im from the boston scene, where onion used to dance... and he doesnt dance anymore... hes moved on to a real life, and it makes me sad to see such talented poppers like him stop dancing...

if you are looking for a truely fascinating up and coming popper, search for benja wurzel... hes the next popper that will make some big noise.

[TheTobiramaSenju]

this is off topis but why was jc chasez a judge on abdc he sucked and i dont remeber him from the backstreet boys

[Knett1990]

@TheTobiramaSenju that's cause he's from nsync

[TheTobiramaSenju]

@Knett1990 oo i did not know that (i dont like nsync) they are before my time

[futbolusa]

what's the name of he 1st song and the audition song?

[stuff9]

What the hell is going on with dan's hair?

[gundownkid]

@MitzuTheOne he hits really hard to the beat not many poppers can hit that hard to the beat

[MitzuTheOne]

what's so WOW about him?I mean every popper can do that.

[gundownkid]

@inme1234 woah dude pac man does not suck but mr. f wouldn't be half as good with out his flexibility pacman is raw talent and a product of hard work

[rippawallet]

Anybody that is claming this is a real person, DO NOT BE FOOLED. This is the first of many ways to make you part with your well loved money. The american government has been creating these type of robots for well over 20 years, so do not be blinded by the light of the federations.

[buddhistgangstamonk]

this guy, Robert murraine, brian gaynar (the short guy who has sclerosis), philip chbeeeb (with his wavy arms) should make a crew, that would be pretty sick yo, they'd be america's best dance crew!!

[DanceMusicLoveLife]

@buddhistgangstamonk hahahah that would be AWESOME

[Flowzah]

@buddhistgangstamonk scoliosis ;)

[BoogalooJew]

@buddhistgangstamonk Brian aka Chibi....look up his videos of when he actually battles. For what he has to work w/, he digs into the music and puts you in his world. It's amazing. Had the honor to see him in person in Atlanta, videos do him no justice.

[ilikewiigames]

@buddhistgangstamonk eww no way. all of their styles are too different

[chnx84]

@buddhistgangstamonk You read mi mind ..add B.boy Yu to that list too

[chnx84]

@buddhistgangstamonk You read mi mind ..add B.boy Yu and the kids from future funk to that list too =]

[ibowVentura]

@buddhistgangstamonk I FUCKING AGREE

[Jabbawockster]

@buddhistgangstamonk Brian Gaynor already has a crew but although, they would make a sick crew!

[buddhistgangstamonk]

@Jabbawockster haha i know, his crew is pretty sickk too, remotekontrol!! haha.

[thedeadmau5king]

@buddhistgangstamonk well actually philip chbeeb has his own crew and they might try out for americas best dance crew btw and robert muraine and philip hate each other :P

[buddhistgangstamonk]

@thedeadmau5king haha i know he has his own crew, but my comment was from a while ago.

[YoungFlipChick]

did he die?

[LAholler]

pacman and mr. fantastic are better than him. ask any dancer. hes good but theyre still alot better

[Smurfzation]

@LAholler Ummm i'm a dancer! And get off their sack yeah? He's an amazing popper, robert muraine is very repetative and this guy i'm pretty sure can beat him.

[LAholler]

@Smurfzation ummm did i direct that comment at u?? no, so... im not on anyones sack, i'm just speakin the truth. i'm don't even like robert murraine but i give credit where credit is due. u honestly dont think that either phil or rob could do the same moves that this guy is doing? cuz i doubt this guy can pull the moves that they do. i'm not hating on this guy cuz hes sick, but i just think the other two are better

[gundownkid]

he is in no way in better than pac man or mr. fantastic he is a beast but not better i sa they are on the same level all three

[inme1234]

@gundownkid dude.....fuck pac man or mr. F they all suck

[puertoricoman24]

@inme1234 dude u suck i like to see u go out and do tht

[LilD23baybee]

Him and Robert Meringue should begin a crew

[3lv3r4ng3rftw]

one of the best beat poppers i think

[RaphUrbanDancer]

/watch?v=RUrfeCRXmlQ

check me popping

[MrJmg071769]

Insanely good man. Keep up the good work, wherever you are.

[Vinny86100]

if you play this to far east movements girls on the dance floor at the right moment it is pure popping class

[13curtin33]

1;15-1;19 IS RAW!!!!!!

[jj23388]
