Beatbox World Championship 🇫🇷 River vs PACmax 🇫🇷 Semi-Final 

Congrats to the bro PacMax, incredible battler, you deserve so much to be on top since a long time and I'm so happy for you 💙 Much love to the judges who voted against me, you guys unlocked something in me I needed for GBB :) Much love to Alex, for understanding what I've tried to do And mostly, thanks for your support 🙌

Pacmax single handedly ruined every River Fans mental health that night (including mine)

River was so upset wow

Pac-Max deserved the win 100%. River and others doing the same old stuff and expecting to win. The crowd was not hype enough man I miss how it was a few years ago.

If the quality could translate online this would be better then GBB

Otherworldly. This is quite an important battle, it represents well the biggest standards of purely musical structured approaches there are, and such with a richness enough in the styles and rounds that, for me, each time i relisten to this battle, which is a really immersive and profound one, i find myself chaging the view of who i thought won. This is a masterclass, a piece of art by two of the finest ever. Despite prefering early River and his routines (before the mustache), the way that he found himself with his sensibility and sophisticated musical approaches is something that needs to be applauded for, it's hard to beat, and someone like Pacmax, on his peak of non stop creation, was able to do it here. This a battle for all the days, always something new to explore, feel, learn and discover.

This battle was crazy

You guys are not ready for this

This was one of the best battles I have ever heard, both of them were very respectful and professional. They're both champions in my opinion :))

Best battle of the event

River`s Arpeggios is CRAZY !

This is my favourite Solo battle of this WBC

"That was for the scratch category!" kekw🤣

River is obviously incredible but in this moment pacmax deserved it. The power and consistency was just right. River had the complexity and technicality obviously but he was pushing against the bounds of his execution whereas pacmax was just flawless. He might go down as one of the only guys who ever beat river in a major battle at his peak

The battle of the year

Man PacMax is truly the master of the Flow!

I was happpy pacmax won this, it was well deserved and he sounded way better than river imo. I love river a lot but sometimes he goes for combos that aren’t pleasing to the ear, and then doubles down on them becoming really skilled with them. To this point I can clearly hear that what he’s doing is really hard but it just doesn’t sound as good as what opponents do. I even noticed this a bit in his GBB rounds but he ended up winning that still

for real it looks like pacmax brings more battle attitude, because of this he won

River took this for me guys the music is beautiful. Pacmax definitely got me steppin on his second round, but I would say it is not quite as complex as Rivers 2nd round. Great battle, only winners here!

I'm such a fan of River. I've seen him live in Belgium this weekend and I've never heard such an amazing first 4 minutes of a showcase. Together with FootboxG maybe my favourite beatboxer at the moment. However, I think he lost this one. PacMax was so on point... Ohlalalaaaaa It's a game, nothing more, nothing less and PacMax made the perfect decisions.

One of the craziest battles I've ever watched. Still remember the awe on mine and everyone's faces when River just started dropping a clean arpeggio in round 2.. Massive big ups to Pacmax for winning as an underdog, very musical and powerful rounds. For me he took the first round and River took second, but overall i felt that pacmax edged him just a bit.

The rematch 🔥💯

That was for the scratch category 😂😂😂

What a classy battle

this battle made history

that 2nd round from PacMax slaps

Id give it to river, but my god pacmax second round the best thing i heard from him

So glad Pacmax is finally getting some success and recognition! Love his beats

That was for the scratch category🥶

🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤battle of two legends

when i watched it live for the first time i thought that pacmax won but now... river's round were really incredible ... it is still close but maybe Rivera deserved it

Damnn Pacmac win against GBB champions😃

River is the only one that sounds good with this audio quality, and that's enough to give him the victory. Btw, Pacmax second round was one of the best, round of the competition

Really hard to beat River' congrats !

River: A Crowd: OOHHHHHHHHHH

guess who's coming in the dark

Amazing PacMax!!

3:51 what was that ??😮

Insane

Fun fact: Pacmax was the only one to beat River this year, this one and draft tag team battle in european championship

=)) alex looked so fucking enjoy with pacmax last drop, but he still choose river, its made me remember the match between pacmax and alex few years ago

river was like: no way i lost😭😭😭

river's second round man...that's beautiful

What a battle! PAC Max couldn’t believe it when he won. Such emotion!

River second round pitch control olalalalala ~ 3:46

Legendaire

If you can actually do this mad respect

Rivers 2nd round isn’t stage ready…. Pacmax won fair and square idk why bro got in his feelings makes him look like a sore loser tho

Wow Pacman round 2 is amazing he did a classic from mr oizo flat beat 😊❤❤

all these salty kids in the comments hating on the state of beatbox or river or pacmax need to get with the times, these two made the best battle of the entire event 🎉🎉🎉

wow, pacmax has really been dropping amazing compositions, they were both really equally good, it’s just preference do you prefer clear themes/songs or tech/battle-ish style, that was this

ㄹㅇ 명배틀

6:28 edged to that

Personally I think pacbloke had better use of his sounds in structure on that round for me he was a clear winner. Big up river big up pacdude

Live it was pretty clear that pacmax won but in video I totally understand that people lean more towards river

Nutz!!

🎤 🙌

Alem is still Alem since 2012 ❤

Pacmax so dope💥

The devastated River'. Man, what a battle!

Maybe being in stage was a whole different experiment because River was clearly above in this video (I'm not saying PacMax was bad btw, my french comrade was insanely good but River was outrageously good !)

All good with river sining easy melodys and his style but yo it would be great to hear something new , it’s the same with Napom got years doing exactly the same lip roll stuff

BUENISIMA PACMAX!!!!

PACmax's battle skills so sick!!! wow 🔥

3:22 That vocal roll was game changer, but I think it was too early to release it. It was ultra high level, don’t get me wrong, but I think that 2 things in here have VERY great POTENTIAL: 1) The Voice Roll: the technique something not known by many of us. The voice of a human has something special, I think that roll could’ve cause soooo many different types of impact on the listener, just that he showed it in a battle. Battles and Art are not the same thing (on it’s 100%) Think at the Codfish’s 2019 The Summit performance. He used his developoed vocal roll on a beatbox song that USED A CONCEPT. He leaded us to crazy mystical sh*t, with a (for me), written letter from Peter Pan. The transmission there was unbelievable. 2) The Concept Idea: I think this is not too present in music, and not understood by many of people in the beatbox community (if we focus on them). It’s really great, cool, interestint, meaningful, appreciated, ETC, when you bring a concept into your song. You think of creating something with a concept in? Ok. You Freestyle and you think your routine express an emotion in particular? A mood? An aspect of life? A game? A moment in history?? The future? Fun? Intrigue? Mystic?? Continue on this and make sur it will develop all that concept that you feel. I wrote all this because I think River’s Vocal Roll used on his routine “Where My Heart Belongs” was applied to a battle, while there are cryterias for your music on battles, you form them as to be accepted by people (crowd, juries, online fans, fans: RELATED TO BATTLE YOUR MUSIC WILL NOT BE FREE) so the real problem comes here. You cannot make the greatest music, give your 100% artistically speaking if you’re doing things for battles, things for someone, it needs to have freedom in there. I think the “Where My Heart Belongs” was a super special routine but taken in a a wrong way. If this would be made for a showcase in a river showcase, I personally thibk the result could’ve been different in a positive way (and for me, it will always be) I would like to read your comments on this, please be kind and respectful, just debate.

Pacmax brought the heat

Pacmax has it. The bass and rhythm are 🤩.

Rivers routines Stretched too thin. PacMax evolved more

1 round insano do Pacmax

Is this the actual World Champs coz it doesn't really feel like it when compared to 2015 WC. 2015 WC was insane.

Sick from both ,Was pacmax first song an original sounds familiar?

Is this pacmax's Arc

riverもいいんだけどパックマックスがキャッチーな曲で踊らせにくるから前座みたいになっちゃう

i do prefer pacmax here.. its more enjoyable

Pacmax lesson : Drink More Water

Well deserved win MaxO!

For me is a replic but i dont know much about beatbox

pacmax's rounds are so crazy it's stupid

This shows the difference in judging between World championship and GBB. Guess which one is a little shaky 🫠

BROOOO Pacman SLAMMMED River so haaard hahahahah :DDD Especially the first round he just continued rivers melody and made a whole BANGER with it just WOW X00000

Paxmax 2 part beautyfull

solid win for PacMax has more variety well deserved, maybe Rive'r was thinking more of the final than winning this

altos lindos estos dos :$

I saw colaps in the crowd 😐

I didnt even know the World Championship was happening and I've watched them every year as they get released on RU-vid... Very lackluster tournament and poor advertising. The sound quality is awful and you can barely hear the crowd, what happened?

alem :D:D

Seemed pretty even for me. Nothing major stood out. Fan of River, maybe Pac got it just on energy and a few better moments.

Pacmax 👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥

ငါ့အမြင်အရ အမှန်တိုင်းပြောရရင် RIVER'နဲ့ PACMAXက နှစ်ယောက်လုံး အရမ်းတော်ကြတဲ့ Beatboxerနှစ်ဦးပါ။ ဒီBATTLE ROUNDမှာ အဲ့နှစ်ယောက်လုံးက ပူးတွဲသရေရရှိပြီး Final Roundကို ရောက်သွားသင့်ပါတယ်။

I thought river gonna take it . Hmmm.... 🤔 May its just me

6:02 best drop

I don’t read comments I soak them with wub, my money is River is truly a God 😮

la tete de river a la fin hahaha le pauvre

Sorry these outward k snares of River just don't hit

Yeah idk it was a really close battle. imo the judges need to be relatively up to date beatboxers... Not saying it should've went another way, just needs to be a different panel

Such an amazing battle✨️ Pacmax vs River' French Championship 2018 was the first time for me to recognize them, so I feel this matchup very special. And their reaction after the judge decision almost made me cry.

I love that expression on rivers face 😮

pacmax !!

RIVER is GBB champion

Overtime river gets boastful
