Gene vs Alem - 1/4 Final - 4th Beatbox Battle World Championship 

But why Alem win against BallZee ?

razor ryze Yeah, Ball-Zee pretty much killed it in that battle!

Alem will hate you I guess if he saw this comment, hehe.

Makes sense you voted for him lol. You two are all about musicality.

si puro favoritismo

Or ... "Casual comfort view" vs. "Technical complex view" ... Guess what is easier to understand and to relate to for the majority of casual people. Thats why Gene is more appealing to more people, but only because Gene is more appealing to the people, doesnt mean that he is a better beatboxer. I mean look at how many people Logan Paul is appealing to... does that mean he is a better RU-vidr than others ?

Jezz, you think creating musicality is easy like eating a candy, don't you?

Nguyen Anh Tuan Tung ... No, i dont think that it is easy. Because it requires lots of creativity to even come up with, but the execution itself is often more easier than a more technical piece. For example lets look at guitarists.... What do you think is more easier to execute?... "Yngwie Malmsteen - Far Beyond The Sun", which has a more technical approach or "Dallton Santos - By the Edge of the Stream" which is more musical oriented ? Both for sure have their difficulties either execution-wise or creative-wise, the thing is just that most people are appealed to more musical pieces with as less technical parts as possible, since it is more understandable for the majority and also connects easier emotional-wise and by that people often value the musical approach more than a technical approach, which is a mistake if you let both of these categories compete with eachother like in these beatbox battles. I mean if i would tell you that Alem was very musical aswell with that particular performance in this beatbox battle, especially in round two, then you would probably disagree with me, cause you dont see the musical part as easy as you do see it with Gene's musical part, which is for the majority more understandable. But to be able to make your music more understandable to the audience doesn't always particularly mean that its skill-wise the better music on every possible level in comparison to a more technical music piece.

Beatboxers from my perspective now are like artists. So musicality counts as skill, in my opinion.

Nguyen Anh Tuan Tung ... I dont say that musicality doesnt count skill wise. It requires skill aswell just in other aspects than technicallity. Its just that the majority of people are more appealed by musicality rather than technicality and by that value it more, cause its more understandable. My point is that, when people hear a very technical music piece, they often dont see the musicality in it, even though there is musicality in it aswell. For most "casual" people who just listen to music but never really have performed music themself, which is definitely the majority of the audience, they often do not see the value in complex technicality as a musical part in itself. Because if we break the ice now, then i have to tell you that both performances are musical in this beatbox battle. So saying that its about "Musicality vs. Technicality" is not really true... its more about the "casual audience" vs. the "practiced audience", while the "casual audience" is just the majority, since not so many people really practice music themself.

dan brady he got rekt anyways

Excludify i have heard that soooo many times that it makes me feel bad for you

***** that is a very stupid answer. i feel bad for you.

***** pathetic

+dan brady Hey Dan, I personally liked Gene more on this match but the real reason I came here was I read through all the comments to this post and 99% I couldn't read. People please spell words out and talk like you at least went to school for 3 years. Good comment and Dan and I also felt that was pretty sweet.

Yes xD

Weeping baka but he still won though with one of my favourite beats :')

" is neu fo meh"

Pero no le salió

no importa

yup

I agree gene is so positive in every battle no matter how much they get in his face which makes him one of my favorite beatboxers because of that

Yes agree

Shayce ye

Yes,even battle with Babeli he does the same thing😭

Well said

You can use the whole "my opinion is more valid than yours because I side with the judges decision" argument if you want, but that still means you disagree with Dharni and Reeps Ones decision. It was 2 to 3 decision overall was it not? Is Dharni and Reeps ones decision less valid because it was the minority decision? No. They also "did the math" and know about the sounds and techniques in beatbox and how to access it. People like me feel Gene and Ball Zee won against Alem, and hate it or not, this is based on an educated perspective on beatbox and backed by two of the judges, so really don't try with the "I know more than you" attitude.

+NigelStrawberry77 OI don't see why you say he is hating on aything. He is saying people are complaining and saying gene should have won, and all he is doing is saying the choice is not only based around how good the song sounds, because there are loads of different cattegories where they also need to score to be able to win.

+F4yz0 ZeDe gets hated because many people believe the second worlds was rigged in ZeDe's favor because of how good of friends he is with Roxorloops (who's one of my personal favorites and a judge). It was also probably, just in general, the worst championship of the four. Skiller got hated on because many people have this fascination with Alem (kinda like the one people have with Reeps One) where they can do no wrong and everything they do is just brilliant and fucking fantastic and they MUST win every battle otherwise it was trash. (And Alem is second favorite beatboxer) but Skiller still beat em. Alem is getting hated on because the people that don't have a fascination with Alem (as mentioned above) think he lost some of the battles (main two I'm seeing are Gene and Ball-Zee) and think he shouldn't have won the championships.

matheus tani I'm not hating man. At the end of the day, not even those who competed care that much, because the afterparties and sense of community is really what mattered for them. I don't really care that much, but i like to argue my points of why i thought Ball Zee was better... just for fun i guess. I like to debate my opinions. I know there are many factors in judging beatbox... and i do believe Ball-Zee favoured those criteria. He had a really good balance of technicality, musicality, tight drops, crowd reaction, good mixture of sounds... I find Alem focussed too much of technicality, than the other aspects, and did the same routine for most of his round. Ball Zee also got better crowd reaction by his second round and there was major hype for him... might be why he got 2 of the judges votes... i'm sure they'll say it was a hard decision, shown by the fact the decision was divided, but i do think Ball Zee clearly won... but meh, it's all personal taste and opinions i suppose...

Mikey Silverio in my opinion, Alem Musicality is decent, technique is great, Gene musicality is great, technique is... meh... that's just me XD

Teh Stormz gene was shit and did the same in all the battele

Ндlєдсн but alem also did the same beat years ago..

Unknown But Alem remixed his old routine and also brought in a new routine as well. Gene 's routine, was identical to his usual routine from previous battles and showcases, but it was a good battle, much respect to both.

Teh Stormz are you american?

***** I know that, It was very disrespectful of this guy to call Gene "shit"

+CryZikesFX But it was fun watching Alem :p

+CryZikesFX 4th. Have connections with the judges

5th --> 4th point is not required, if you have skill.

Imo alem is one of the most talented ones...But in this particular championship the only battles that he actually won were against napom and lytos...Long story short, he should not go past 1/4 final

PropertyTrippers In my opinion Napom lost against Shoh. Especially Shoh's second round was really good. Also if you look at Genes rounds over the whole event, you will see that he uses the same patterns, where Alem on the other hand showed in every battle a different one and they were not easy to do aswell. His second round against Gene had definitely also some musicality. And now ? Sometimes opinions differ. And only based on your opinion, which is not a fact, you shouldnt say he only won because of the judges.

Be A Pro lol yeah your right Alem did rekt gene in second round with the drop

Strat that’s a rebuttal dweeb

its not imitating, its kinda like mocking and its pretty obvious when alem said its new for me, implicating that gene uses that routine a couple of times before.

Exactly. A lot of beatboxers use the same beats in different competitions and sometimes give a twist to it. And it becomes their signature beat when the originality is there. It's normal for beatboxers to use the same beats.

Ghosts Gregster maybe, but they improve their beats and and change them, as alem did this year with his westside beat, the fatality beat, and his get up beat.

But dude all those beats by Alem are a few years old. Gene just made Jigsaw this year, he didn't have much time to improve it.

100% agree

Marko Baha you must be new here, its an other competition noob

AYY LMAO

quga me too what the fuck was that alem was like hit by epilepsy

quga its pokemon lmao

Hahahahahahahahahahhaya

@@markaquino5326 Do you think its easy to be done? If you can do that while standing still, then you're not a human being.

Marcus lulz u're really talking without knowledge...better delete your stupid comment

TerrexoDesign ummm, how about no?

Marcus lulz You look so dumb ^^"...as u wish

Are u kidding me

EduarGmez15 Your acting like a kid lmoa

Gene has good flow, transition and musicality. While Alem just switches from beat to beat, with no transition or build ups, he's all technicality, not original at all.

***** đ

he still has a better musicality than alem any day

he still has a better musicality than alem any day

+Aj James Yah youre right

Vic Mack Hey bro :D can you writte me privat i have a quastion thx

Vic Mack Anyone who wins a major event will always have the more outspoken against them. Since most know Alem already won, they'll say anything against him. Just because the crowd sang with Gene doesn't mean he wins. Not to mention, he did the exact same technique from the GBBB.

Vic Mack +1 Dude when you're the best you're exposed to a lot of hate. I think maybe against Ball_Zee that it was maybe a bad decision.

ttttttttttttttt515 of course, that's how it works, the current world champion always gets the hate until the next one comes. I actually wrote this theory once under some video here. ZeDe was hated as fuck after becoming the Champion - it was all like "how did he win against Reeps or Vahtang wtf man his shit is just boring Tks". Skiller was really hated too, it went like "he should've lost against Reeps and wtf Alem outperformed him so hard how is he Champion he does only fast beats". Now it's Alems turn. The funniest thing is how everyone was licking Alems balls over how good he is for the last three years. He was the favorite beatboxer for so many people that "my best beatbox alem" (a comment commonly written by pinoys in beatbox groups) is allmost a fucking meme now. But oh well, he wrecked everyone in the tournament, let's just call him out on being unoriginal, boring and doing the same shit every time like we call out every champion. Even through literally every single beat he made had at least new elements and he improved on every aspect that doesn't conflict with his style. Dude I could rant about it for hours I think.

Mylo Kurt Yeah, that battle is definitly debatable. But oh well, it was close enough I guess, I would have voted for Ball-Zee, but I get the Alem arguments in that battle as well. It's not like in the B-Art vs. Alexinho battle where I'd strongly disagree with the decision, just mildly like "oh, I'd vote for Ball-Zee, but a vote for Alem here may be fine too I guess". In the retroperspective it's actually better for every Ball-Zee fan that Alem won that battle. But more on that theory when the video comes out :)

Yesss you now

What song is sung gene?

Do you contemplate in life even on the drop? I find that pretty hard. Hard like the drop...

+Dio Wandana jigsaw

Dimas Prasetia ps se aguanta!!!!!!!!!!!

Lan Kas listen carefully... and you will know

Lan Kas Alem = a lot of technique and hard work

Lan Kas You need to watch a lot more beat box if you think Alem is noise.

Lan Kas Gene = music + beatbox Alem = music + beatbox ... You take it too easy ...

You're saying drums aren't music?

あんな言葉言われたら笑うだろ

+でしょ今 ジャイアニズム

Jigsaw

キノコ言うなw

microwave

Then you should learn dubstep well if you know what it means I doubt you know

I do exactly think like you. Both second rounds totally show the difference.

and what?

+BasGam Games sorry, didn't mean to put "..." there.

At least he tries

That when you know your stupid😂😂😂 it's called trolling search it up

Its called countering and its partly what makes a good battle

Every Beatboxer has their own technique... Even you. You have your own Technique!! same as Alem if he want fast beat, then he'll do fast beat. You must do what you like not what they want... Have it your way #Kitkat

meltono manioo so make a video that you do fast beat better than alem -,-

its hard to take you seriously after "sht everyone could do that"

Darunte - Sandstorm

jigsaw puzzle - Gene ^^

Gene Shinozaki - Jigsaw

Petrus Ajah really? LOL

Think again

Banana Gaming I think so to

ThunderCuber3 yeeess, the more you watch the more info you absorb and then you realise how good he is.

chocjane08 Yeah, at first watch i didnt analyze very carefully at all, but after watching a lot of times i can see why they chose alem on this one.

+ThunderCuber3 Explain y then

Larry I dont know the technicality just seemed right after watching it like a 100 times because i was convinced gene won.

+Larry i h8 u

QLCHerald agreed. what song is that?

Jigsaw

Your dumb asf have you heard dubstep music guess not -_-

alem sucks get mad bro... Alems videos get like 200k views vs NaPoM 1 mil+ and Gene gets 500k-1 mil

+Mere Silk I know right... Anything alem does the crowd have a massive reaction because it's just full of French people, use your ears gene should of won.

How do you know he won

+Dippy dude your dumb gene is good and all but you can't compare him with alem he has good musical beats but alem is amazing he comes up with sick routines friken gene uses those same beats every time and alem was chosen as world champion for no reason -_-

JAY Beatboxer hashaha😂😂 Gena won
