Honestly, in the face of Colaps' precision, every small mistake by the opponent becomes a lot more obvious. King Inertia made a few big mistakes in this one, and that's why I fully support the 5-0 decision. Colaps executed some of the most difficult beatboxing we've ever heard as close to flawlessly as humanely possible. Totally deserved this win, and in my opinion the 1st place as well!
A lot of beatbox react / analysis content out there, but I always look forward to hearing your takes and insight. Hope you continue to do these as I think it will help all of us be better beatboxers. Cheers!
Colaps commented on SBX's Short featuring his 'bite' call out, and turns out Colaps taught that to Inertia back in like 2018-19. I remember the first I heard the z-scratch stuff from Inertia I was like doesn't Colaps do that? Turns out yuuuup
The stare down between inertia and colappy around 6:30 and colaps calling inertia out for biting were my two favourite parts out of GBB21, really felt like a veteran standing up and reminding the newcoming titan where he stands. Brilliant battle regardless of the unfortunate fall off towards the end of inertia's second round.
For me it was "obvious" Colaps was going to win at the end of KI's first round. 5:03 , he fails to trigger his inward bass (like he does at 5:06 ) and that was a major mistake where Colaps was on point for the whole battle.
When I was watching the livestream I said "yup, he lost" the moment his inward bass failed in his first round. Colaps just executed everything flawlessly while being far more complex than King Inertia. If King Inertia performed his rounds perfectly I think this would've been closer but this is a clear 5-0.
@@blassinmas9878 He made another mistake during the double spit snare, but it was a small mistake and not a big one because he managed to go through 4 bars
I feel like Inertia didn’t really take advantage of the fact he ranked 1st in the eliminations, his style doesn’t really let him counter, but maybe that’s because he’s so unique at what he does!
Yeah or because he just isn't capable of doing what his opponents do, just like colaps cant counter inward bass. Im not calling him a onetrick but compared to many top beatboxers hes probably got the least variation
@@drawspaceX while he lacks variation his tracks will still hit hard no matter what. Guy is honestly the ultimate beatboxer when it comes to a live showcase.
Inertia reminds me a lot of 2019 codfish in a sense that he is famous for a single craft and he had a great solo elimination and then did good through the first 2 battles and then lost third and got fourth but I hope that inertia doesn’t “retire” and that he keeps going and competing… (has anyone heard from codfish recently???)
I only realised how good Colaps was this year,after I saw the video he did with Maddox teaching him those amazing combos and then afterwards rewatching all his battles at this GBB. Big up Colaps,you killed it!
7:45 He is doing throat bass with gargling. The sound Fredy Beats does sometimes however Inertia is doing the gargle with a somewhat tighter tension. It's kind of simple really.
For me Colaps was definitely the best throughout the whole competition. his structure, timing and tech was by far the closest thing to perfection ever. Only heard a few minor mistakes with one somewhat major through every battle from him. truly amazing. plus, all of his routines sounded exactly as they did on music videos which are rehearsed and can take many takes. Now that is talent.
I really got to admit that the sound quality of Inertia is insane. Though I prefer the higher variance and PRECISION of Colaps 😅. I just recognized, that Inertias flows are sometimes not on beat. Perhaps because he choose sound over precision which fair and square proved him right several times. But what can I say I'm German, I just like it when a set is tight and needly put together, especially when it is such high class technical round of Colaps 🤷🏻. And what I really like about Colaps (at least so far at GBB 21) is the fact that he is really humble on stage. Of course he is turning to his opponents when he is battling, but when it's his opponents turn he just takes it as fair man. No faking of "could be better" or "he's just doing 3 sound at the same time". He even appreciates his opponents. So what can you say about this DUDE. Probably the only thing is his basses that aren't as strong as the rest of his skills.
As someone who doesn’t know much about beatboxing I preferred King Inertias and I think he would be most peoples favourite too just from a mere musical standpoint and not on technical difficulty or anything like that.
If Inertia did the second round in the same orchestrated style as the first and made the first one a tad more interesting, I wouldn’t have been able to decide. Before Inertia’s second round, it just felt like it was obvious Colaps put more thought and time into his sets, all intricacies included. Amazing battle! We’re in the Golden Age 👑
I wasnt a fan of inertia's structure in the second round and he clearly ran out of material in the last 15-20 seconds of his second round, he slipped on a bassline part, his zipper thing didnt come out clearly and because he ran out, he did the normal slizzer roll thing. So he was very all over the place for me whereas colaps was very planned out and precise in everything he did. Hence his second routine 'precision' was a direct attack on inertia because inertia lacked precision in his sets. And also inertia's scratch sounds which colaps showed the bite for was actually were actually inspired by colaps, and colaps was the one who actually showed inertia that technique.
The person who really need to watch this video is sxin and chezame. I cant get over the fact that they totally disagreed with all the 5 judges and even said that all thier 200k subscribers who are commenting are all dumb and dont know about beatboxing
They think there hot shit now and know more than everyone just because they competed in gbb. Sxin got in for skill in looping. Chezame is not an high tier beatboxer the only reason he got in in is because he was a duo with sxin.he could never compete solo and win. With that being said still the k both a good dudes. But honestly need to dial it back with the biased bullshit. Clear loss for inertia here.no exceptions.
Much love from the philippines people are still talking about your live performance to this day! And the woman here says "D-low is so handsome!" after your performance lol. Have a nice day.
It was in this battle that King Inertia was finally defeated! Colaps' variety of skill and routines is great, King Inertia's inward bass attacking style is also great, but I think he would be a strong opponent if he had more skill! I loved Colaps' second round routine! What do the lyrics say? Yeah, they were both great!🔥
D LOW collapse poseted a comment, saying that he was shoing his new routines to inertia at holiday. and inertia was one of the first to hear it. so he decied to use it as first in the battle against collapse
Inertia's first round was so good and atmospheric (absolutely love it!) but his second round lost him the win imo. Last 1/3 was repetitive, we already heard that earlier in the event. The crazy bass at the start was cool but it just wasn't enough to save him.
Kinda wish Colaps used a bit more resonance from his chest when just speaking, it would project a lot better. For me the weakest part of his rounds are when he talks lol. Obviously he's amazing and I'm nit-picking, just a thought
Inertia's rounds start well, but at the end he goes to something very diferent from the routine he started, if he keeped the same vibe to begining until end, he could have won! great battle, colaps really deserved this one, he start all his round well, and finish it better yet.
I think if King Inertia took a more technical approach for this battle, it may have been a slightly closer decision making process because he does have unique tech combos. But Colaps probably would've won anyway since throughout this GBB, all of his rounds are new, original pieces.
As insane this battle was, I was keen on your opinions as a judge. Your reviews on Inertia v/s Helium were absolutely on point. It was tough, for all on the panel. PS: Considering that 0.01 extra point for hat propeller. Do you think Helium would've won? 🤣
I watched this battle several times already but now im here because i assumed youd talk about Collapse doing the "biting" gesture. Idk what he was saying Inertia was biting. Thats why im here. Come on Dlowwww
Being a self taught beatboxer for 2 years and having lessons for 2 years prior, inertia did have a repeating style, but the 5-0 probably wasn't a fair voting point after myself and my beatbox teacher going over it. we thought inertia would have at least scored twice or a draw.
Inertia doing some subharmonic singing or more screaming in his second round. It‘s almost like vibration bass but its actually mixed voice with vocal fry, so less pressure than vibration bass
Omg d-low your right it is tounge bass with vibration, cause I can do both not the best but just put these together and it was similar to inertia thanks mate😂 be practicing that 😂
