Dementia vs. Salah BBOY Summit '04

[jesscb206]

Whoever thinks this is the best Bboy summit battle obviously hasn't seen many. Dementia owns in my opinion. Salah is a great popper but most of his routines are just a series of tricks he goes through. As far as actual dancing/popping-Dementia incorporates tuts, boxes, boogaloo, glides, and pretty much every other funkstyle. Love em both for sure. I was there for this-great battle great event. <3 BboySummit

[UnTxHD]

ownage

[lockingislife]

wow, a fan of salah but dementia killed itfeawijfew, anyone know the winner?

[acadia1106]

salah murdered him. I agree though Mr. Wiggles is something else. Pacman, is solid, too.

[DezertRacer7103]

A fine battle of two very good dancers.

[certifieddancer82]

Honestly speaking one on one I don't think anyone could match salah in person, it takes someone who actually pops to realize you can't hate on someone that great.

[nandansho]

These dudes are wack..reminds me of a Sanfrancisco Queen bitch Battle Mr wiggles would fuck these Bums up with a finger roll.

[INSite8o8]

@nandansho im sorry but i'd have to, not necessarily disagree, but kindly argue with this statement. yes Mr Wiggles is a very skillful popper, no doubt, but everyone has a style. Mr Wiggles tuts and hits very well and accordingly to the music being played. he can keep rhythem and thats enough to win a battle. but then you have salah. he is unique, different. he specializes in waving, flexability and appealing to the crowd. people always want to be entertained and see something new. Salah. Mahalo

[IIbismarkII]

@INSite8o8 i agree

[taga5000]

@INSite8o8 Mr Wiggles is a Legend, There a vid where move that Salah was doing Mr Wiggles was doing it back in the day, I thinks it's call Mr Wiggles Tricks and Move, it showed Boogaloo, popping, Backslide/Moonwalk on his knees, Hat tricks/skills

Flexibility and Controtion Locking, BBoying and many more..These day you won't see Wiggles do ground moves because of his knee but back in the day Mr wiggles was doing moves salah is doing now.

[INSite8o8]

@taga5000 oh ofcourse i know Mr. Wiggles is a legend and if it werent for his knee, he'd still probably be as great as he was before. im just trying to explain that everyone is entitled to their own opinion on what a "skilled" dancer is. Now, dance is being revolutionized, just as it was back in the day. with every generation comes new talent. luckily, we have people who see that there was a base to all this. Mr. Wiggles, Sir. Nasty(famous hawaii popper), Jr. Boogaloo, Ozone, etc.

[taga5000]

@INSite8o8 Okay i get ya now, everymove is mostly the same but each puts there own personality into it..

[INSite8o8]

@taga5000 YUUUUPS! haha!

[LetTheBeatFlow]

dementia actually put up a good show...... i was impressed..... but Salah still remains Legendary

[evenged95]

wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

salah

[DeNNeYz1LeGeNd]

I hate why people like dementia do the same moves over and over again its boring and original. Salah is the best dancer as of now and cant be beaten hes creative and makes dancing funny thats Why!

[justhave2dance]

damn!!salah is so good!

[Ckevin15]

Not to disrespect salah but the part @ 2:08-2:09 didnt look rite

[iamthewanganator]

Dementia wins

[LiLZiegie]

innit salah is original some of his moves will take a long time to learn lol

[SuperPluto10]

salah is my favorite popper, but this guy dementia got him on this battle. this guy is hella raw!

[djgreenway822]

@SuperPluto10 he's good but he in no way beat salah in that batlle!!!!!

[SuperPluto10]

@djgreenway822 naw, like i said, salah is the best out there, but in this battle dementia did more popping. salah did a well job at entertaining the crowd, did do much popping. I watch this video everyday because its my favorite. Look how sharp dementias tuttinn man, lol. fresh skills.

[blackcat4283]

@SuperPluto10 It's good, but he's got horrible duck tuts... But a great popper nonetheless. And Salah, I don't even have to say anything.. But this didn't show his skills off too much.

[SuperPluto10]

@blackcat4283 Yea your right about that. Salah is untouchable. a lot of people always hate on him though!

[sendai78]

Dementia definitely has the technical aspect of it down, but Salah is just pure showmanship. You're always wondering what he's going to do next (I mean come on, the part with the shoe? XD). With Dem, it's on beat and the tuts are tight, but it gets a wee bit repetitious.

[Krimzj]

Dementia is such a beast.

[fanaticfire86]

I dont know you just cant say Salah is a entertainer the dude deff has skill and has deff won alot of battles probalby cause he does all the aspects, he pops, his skills are great and he wins over the crowd. If he was an entertainer im sure he wouldnt have won as many battles as he does.

[scenario1]

@fanaticfire86 yeah, people always hate on salah cause he can do it all, like you said... he entertains, does eye candy, AND he POPS... hate it or love it... he can compete with any dancer... period

[MyArseX10]

@fanaticfire86

whats wrong with being an entertainer anyway? surely thats the root of all dance?

[diegocwalk]

dementia win ..

[fanaticfire86]

the song is cameo- Shake your pants.

[metalada]

Salah is a perfect dancer and he didnt even try i know that he could chew dementia because he hasnt done that fast tutting move

[wakweek]

viva salah

[shamlinpapageorgio]

Anyone know what song this is?

[SuperDockman]

salah was totaly entertaining mo than dancing in dis video. But hey, i dont care which one he does heh heh.

[Sixtenofive]

Salah is so good with beat riding..+ all other tricking of his are fresh and clean (:

[mackdad2]

I disagree Dementia is just like any other popper n, and he basicly did a bunch of tuts. Salah is way more entertaining and original, and i bet if anyone one of us were at tht battle we would be "wooing" and "wowing" at what Salah does instead of Dementia, to me i'd rather be saying "holy sh*t" to Salah's incredible moves, and Salah obviously has the crowds attention.

[AznStyleRemixX]

dangggg Dementia killed Salah on this one! didn't expect to have this judgement before i watched this video!

[nogin8000]

@AznStyleRemixX

not even....I wouldn't say he "killed" him. He was just more original and classic

[AznStyleRemixX]

yea i guess youre right,

it just looks like salah's playing around in this one, just having fun haha

[aletkv]

you make me sick..dont you realise that he (salah) only wants to dance and have fun!!!??? and all you're doing is critizying him!!??..if you dont have dreams dont burn others

[jquinnlee]

salah has got tricks you gotta give him that, buttttt dementia really had more of the classic boogaloo style. all depends what the judges were looking for

[nogin8000]

@jquinnlee

true

[DullceBlogOnline]

jo a csako de salah az isten

[salmaniaque]

soooo, strong salah represente paris paname all star de la bombe mon frere

[teamstuttgard]

The thing about salah is that the first time you him, you're like wow, but my opinion of him kinda goes down each time I see him, because it just gets more and more boring. Like a bboy that just does powermoves, great at first, but wears thin very quickly!

[jazzvec]

@teamstuttgard I do not agree, he always comes with something interesting unlike the other guys. and his moves are perfectly executed, isolation etc.

[teamstuttgard]

Don't get me wrong, he's good at what he does but his style is more like that of a mime artist.

[housemuziq]

Completely agree. Salah is always entertaining, but watch this performance enough times and it's clear that Dementia is far more consumate as far as this battle goes.

[aplayaz2000]

Dementia did a good job but the thing is that he didnt change his style of dance to the music that much

like the 2nd round he didnt do much different... you gotta follow the music and salah did that more

also threw in hi and low dynamics

[neilbeezy]

Alright. Foundationally Dementia Won that. If it was judged dementia would have one that. Now if it was up to the audience salah would have took it cause salah is a crowd pleaser. Thats just what I think. Respect to both

[IIbismarkII]

dementia ....no match for salah ...because salah wins the crowd and he is a trick artist ...... and a nice move of muscle for salah

[neilbeezy]

I dont agree. Do you know what foundation strong popping looks like? Re evaluate. And tell me. I gots respect for salah but i wouldnt say he blew him out the water.

[xCrookedSpiralx]

dude...we all know that Salah is amazing..but nobody can touch Dementia's tutting. He's beast.

[schail1985]

really close battle. It could have gone to either way. I tbh am a huge salah fan but can't give enough respect to dementia

[abbirina]

Two dancers that are unbelievable.

plus they did Cameo justice.

[rsaran1288]

Awesome battle, almost too close to call!

[doojah]

dementia ken not win from salah salah is the best.dont bleme your self acept that salah is the bast dont hate

[Kyleboy337]

is that english?

[Breakerblacky01]

salah is funny and dance to music... but dementia has the flow & skillz fromm my oponion dementia wins!!

[youkissedmymom]

Song?!

[poppintroll]

cameo_shake your pants

[RobinMrG]

Dementia got no chance realy .

[RhuggaRhugga]

im sry but i have to disagree dementia's first set was so fuckin dope. Impeccable timing, one of the best ive ever seen.

[daiquirialwayscool]

Salah killed that shit. Of course, we do got our Salah haters, and that's ok. Anyway, much respect to both. Salah battled him, while also displaying awesome showmanship at the same time. That's my opinion. I'm entitled to that. The other guy was pretty dope too though.

[youkissedmymom]

since its a popping battle it has to go to dementia

but salah is just legendary

he has insane dancing skill and can play with the crowd more than any other dancer i have seen

he is truly my idol

but well done dementia

[thisisblasphamy]

dementia won everybody that says salah won doesnt know jack

[LiLZiegie]

salah killed it all the way

[fanaticfire86]

not exactly you see your taliking like salah cant pop or he doesnt have any moves, you can deny the fact that he is good and he is a amazing dancer. you gotta have more respect then that.

[BboyBlackout]

salah is a entertainer. Dementia is a popper. This was a popping battle. Not a street show. Dementia took it.

[fanaticfire86]

oh man salah...fml

[jamil703]

1st round goes to D!!!

2nd round goes to Salah!!!

[marmar6]

STOP... BEATING... EVERYONE!!!!

[Johnnytheboy]

lol @3:40

[poppinlover256]

i thought salah lost this time dementia kudos to u u are one nasty popper

[Cyrex5555]

I love How D Tutts But i love Salah in General hes BALLERRR!

[gbotic]

i was there =D

salah vs jsmooth was down

[calado27]

Dementia is awesome!

[jmadridano]

SALAH !

[terminaldeity]

Salah reminds me of Charlie Chaplin

[GangialF69]

Dementia, the master of tutting

Salah, the master of popping

[GangialF69]

if u r so good do it..

[spanishdude2010]

what?!?!dementias tuts are wayy cleaner than salahs

[morningperson86]

Salah is a stronger performer. Way too experienced to be outclassed, just comes down to a matter of who brings it. Bruce... mmmmmmaybe Robert, but a very slim elite group that can shake Salah, not D, not this day

[focal69]

Salah would mangle Robert in a battle.

[pixiedawg556]

@focal69 what does mangle mean?

[focal69]

@pixiedawg556 google. squash, kill, flatten.

[GARLlCjr]

@pixiedawg556

Definition of mangle :

To injure with deep disorganizing wounds by cutting, tearing, or crushing.

[aplayaz2000]

well i think the master of tutting is mr. wiggles

[aplayaz2000]

lmao your disagreeing with me? reply so i can diss you

[Sereh182]

SALAHSALAHSALAHSALAHSALAHSALAH

so creative how many comments have i posted on this vid haha,

3:18 - the endddd.

"WOAAAAAAH FEELIN'!"

[Sereh182]

salah is amazing and freaking hoooootttt.

Dementa is reaaaaaallly reallly good thouggggh.

Im just a bit SALAH OBBSESSED!!! <3<3<3<3

[fanaticfire86]

Whats the name of this song?

[GangialF69]

Cameo - Shake your pants

[runhidesleepeat]

D showed more variations but all that was the usual shit you always see. Salah came with simple moves which most people have never thought of in popping and that's what gave him the win.

[mmmniodek]

salah is amazing:)

[yullahcuz69]

back in 04 dementias tuts had nothing on tetris's tuts, even till this day :)

keep tutting on em

[aplayaz2000]

salah shows reason to follow lyrics and beat ... should be a role model to everyone

creativity is key

[BodyPopper92]

they were both siik!! but salah won.

[TshiamisoRapudi]

hahah gotta love 3:40 - 3:43

[Sereh182]

frkinnnnn heeeelll SALAHAHHHHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHAHH"

i know hes wickkckckckkcked.

[grakker]

Dude in yellow freaking killed it. Good job

[Sereh182]

SALAH!

[RyanIng1]

dementia has crazy hits and boogaloos

[tag1989]

salah is from another world lol

[DennohGumi]

Oh crap. I dunno who I like better in this battle. The styles are too different. And they both did their sets cleanly.

You're right, this may be the best battle in the whole BBoy Summit '04.

[akeguchi]

beautiful

[XtraXtraodinaire]

i actually like dementia more cuz he's more funky

[soundara]

nobody can't dance like salah!

that's different!

i don't wanna say he is do popping or not!!!

but obviously he is a great DANCER!

[cheezychimp]

salah is like the clown of popping. goofy ass moves, but insanely good.

[benchbobo]

SLAHA is amazin init

é fóda tem nem jeito..........

[bboyforever2002]

Yo but for real...I dont know why people think you have to dance a certain way in this dance. Why does how Salah dance make such a big impact with people and they call it tricks. He has musicality, flow and originality. Besides why would you want to look like everyone else or do something that's already been done...

[TrooBoogalooInc]

Salah is just a funny guy. Dementia was seriously bad in this video, so don't go critisizing tricks. I understand tricks get a little irritating but you have to know the fundamentals to get to tricks. You think Salah just started doing tricks and was successful, otherwise he would be a total mess. Dementia's is sometimes more King Tut stlye wich is why i like him his musicality is great but to both dancers..... You both should of did better but come on guys this was in 04' both are WAY better.

[popmastah03]

well i cant argue with you about salah being amazing..i know he is..im not dissin him..im not a hater..im just saying that in THIS battle...dementia was in the zone more...popping aint mostly about tricks...everyone knows what salah will do next..ur just waiting for him to do it..i mean yeah..his tricks are fucking great but u know, show more boogalooing and fundamentals.. hes just like goofing around..but he is hella great!!! and yeah he has his own style..i respect that

[ALBASHEER88]

Salah in popin became like Bruce lee in martial arts. both r masters in wat they do. they is no competition. thats true get over it guys. salah is fucking awesome

[geroh16]

everithing that u make since u are listening music is called dance, suckers.

listen everyone...salah got a lot of tricks and he know WHEN to use them, thats the difference with the others poppers

[vastelordeu2b]

to me, tricks still has a lot to do on battles. Its like doing power moves on bboy.. If you execute a trick that hits with a music, I mean that is creativity and flavor that you incorporate in your dancing which plays alot in defining your style

[brambilabong]

salah dances with musicality and has tricks on top of that. he is just damn good thats why yall hate

[FrankieCal685018]

you all faggets that hate salah suck a dick.salah is absolutly amazing.who said hes not dancing thats how he dances hell chew all you haters up.

[popmastah03]

both very good..only difference is...DEMENTIA IS DANCING!!!

[BboyBlackout]

I was just about to say the same thing. Salah has lots of tricks and he hits the beats but no dancing.

[popmastah03]

damn right brah!!! he aint dancin...he should dance more in battles..aside from his tricks, so that if he wins..its more convincing...

[3nambpam3]

Overt ownage. Salah cannot lose. SALAH!

[AvosTears]

Salah has too many tricks.. I prefer dementia.. who is dancing to what he feels on the spot..

[xxKingKong702xx]

salah is sooo original!!

[Dwr12187]

dementia does the same thing over and over and over....that's why he never wins overall in battle tourneys...the same body wave transitions....the same tutting....same everything....even in different battles on youtube its the same

salah is more creative and has much better musicality...besides i think it's safe to say salah was just havin a good time in this battle....if salah was 100% serious it wouldn't have even been close...and salah won this anyways lol

[Dablavanne]

Totally a ownage.

[popmastah03]

chyeah!!! wuhoow go DEMENTIA!!!

[grogogote]

dementia is just simple moves not so a evoluted style but salah was fine imaginative and musically better!

[kingboogalootut1]

DEM.started off tuttin and salah never new what hit him. Salah never had a chance to warm up DEM should have just kelp tutin till Salah tutted back or taste defeat.all you that what to battle salah better look at this Vid or Salah will kick yo ass.

job well done DEM

KEEP TUTIN ON EM

[giusva1984]

niente da dire salah ha una marcia in più, nonostante l'altro sia bravissimo, lui (salah) riesce a far sembrar gli "avversari" ballerini normali! è lui che non lo è per come balla da Dio!

[kingboogalootut1]

looks like Dementia brought his A game

KEEP TUTIN ON EM

[1OLDSKOOL1]

Damn right!!

[birh]

Dementia killed Salah in this one. Salah's stints were way shorter than Dementia's and werent as good either.

[leopardskinpants]

agreed

[damnzenman]

This is some fine quality poppin!

Cameo song owns!

[poppppxxx]

yo salah can really dance and its a battle (even though peeps should get off salah's nuts) if you incorporarte your own style in it anything is posibble wit a battle but in this case i believe dementia may have gotten the best of salah, i dont care who you are if somone is feelin the beat its hard ta win against them and dementia was definitely feelin it. this version of salah is my favorite because yea he has alot of tricks but he was raw and uncut when came to battling

[adrean85si]

salah always starts acting like a clown when his losing a battle that kid ripped salah apart............

[rclm3]

i think if salah always wins bcuz of his tricks or whatever xcuse ppl have than i guess thats what ppl want 2 c.

[aNhaleiro]

Salah powned him with "Shake Shake Shake Shake Shake" OMFG

[joshntequila]

Get outta here.

Oh, he can hit on the hardest and most well known beats of the song..

how amazing. seriously. it just shows knowledge for the song and nice timing. dont judge over a few hits.

[glant2005]

lol u ever seen salah battle? he almost always wins.

[joshntequila]

Uhm, yeah as a matter a fact, in person.

Hes a showcaser/entertainer.

Hes a crowd pleaser. Have you seen HOW he wins? Less actual popping. More of a trick artist if anything. He has (or used to) have a bit where he pulls out a really think hanky. And just plays around with it. I swear, he had that act for like a few months. If anything, he shouldnt be winning battles against greats and originals.

[aNhaleiro]

Course but his timming and knowledge it's from his freakin talent.

[joshntequila]

uh what?

no.

Find a song.

Everyone and anyone with ears can tell when the song is about to go into a barrage of hard knocking beats. theres no talent in hitting when the beat hits. its just common sense.

[xxKingKong702xx]

lol your a haterrr.

[GMinority]

every move this other motherfucker made, were salah-moves...

orospu cocugu a.q.

[PoppinMantis]

Obviously you don't know jack.

And whoever started screaming in the video for dementia to move should stfu.

[Sietesango6]

Man, they both are dope!!!!!! Dementia always getsopen and Salah is just ridiculous. Don't think he's all tricks though.........lol

[taga5000]

Dementia was dancing more than Salah but salah killed it also. I liked Salah in BoTB 05as he was all about the dancing, his musicality was on point and he didn't really use any tricks. I think from the crown it was a close battle as both crowds was OOOing and Aaaing.

[Kentoa2]

Yo Dementias tuttin is raw and sick as hell

[orangespwn]

Dementia is sick. :P

But Salah's pretty awesome too.

Except when he does that high pitched voice.

[goninzo]

Mr. Fantastic stole one of Salah's moves on So You Can Dance, the egyptian hand motion thing. It's one thing to move like someone, it's another to steal parts of the act, I guess.

[wakursa]

Um Dementia (white shirt) was the one doing the Egyptian hands and it's not an "original" move. That's like saying someone stole someone's pirouette.

[keakou]

amen to that wakursa its called tutting by the way and it's a style/move you implement into poppin.

[ryukijin]

Dementia is so fucking raw.

[Cyrex5555]

Naww he suckxx

[ArtisticHmongBoi]

salah was incredibly weak in this battle

probably intimidated by dementia's tutting

[PermissionTOLeave]

Where is dementia from?

[benkula1]

New York I believe.

[rogert17]

whats the name from de songs? please

[lanqu]

cameo-shake your pants

[rogert17]

thanks man im rogert, im colombian i love the poppin, i dance a few but i am onu of the best of Santander what videos you recoment to me ?

[Robottoo]

[Sensfan613]
