I know what you mean when I saw this video description my first thought was gucchon is still competing? My second thought was greenteck is about to be schooled. I love the guy he's grown a lot in the 7 years or so since I last seen him dance but gucchon has always just had so much flare, that stuff that goes beyond technicality. Sidenode Dino vs Gucchon keep on dancing 2006(?) Best dance battle ever
first time I saw this I was like wtf is gucchon doing! second time I watched it I WAS LIKE DAMN HE IS AN ARTIST FOR REAL just pay attention to his style and you will see the beauty
Ozzy Slims style is SO technical, it's beautiful really, only a popper can appreciate how good he really is. So small, so infinitesimal is his style, the only other person who's style is similar is Poppin jon, but still completely different.
+Tao Xu Yep that is the most fundamental thing about dance.. They simply name it a battle and everybody loses their minds. Just like putting a tag on someone's skin colour saying this is black, this is white so they get treated differently now they put a tag called 'battle' in dance competition and they all become aggressive lol
Gucchon, a perfect example of dancing without being bound to any style. In dance, you either have an amazing creativity or amazing dance ability. Dance is an art, therefore creativity is highly valuable too and for some who don't have creativity, dance ability will win and I think it depends on people whether they like being creative or just dancing :D Creative moves normally don't have a feeling to it but it got some sort of intellect to it while most people that just dance don't have much creativity but they got the feeling on it. There are also those who are just bound to one style and copies someone else's way of feeling and tries to obtain credibility out of it. Dance styles are boogaloo, animation, etc. Dance style in dancing is like Karate in fighting. At the end of the day, it is not the guy with the right form front kicks and punches that win but it is the one that knocks the other guy out or scores most points and yes the style does help them obtain that but knocking the opponent out is the ultimate goal. This is similar to dance too where you don't focus on how good your boogaloo is or a particular style but can you use those styles to help you dance better or not. Dancing better is not just doing the same movements that you learned in the style but rather combining it on the spot with your feeling and it may come out looking odd and simple but you have to accept that as your actual feeling for the music that is being played ^_^ Look at Gucchon doing the salsa kinda thing in his battle against Nelson and also him doing Mokujin on this battle but he is still popping coz he is hitting. That salsa kinda move is what he felt so he just did it and that is called honesty in dance. Mokujin is something he created as his own version of Scarecrow like how bruce lee created JKD out of other fighting styles. After all, popping is just hitting. As long as you are hitting, you are popping. Popping is not a dance style on its own, it is like a seasoning to the dance that makes your dance/movement look sharper. In fighting terms, it is like using a weapon to increase your chances of winning the fight and whether you think using a weapon will enhance or decrease the winning chance is up to you depending on the circumstances. Popping is an umbrella term for dance styles that is popular for utilizing hitting.
You just made me really think... I don't believe I have great creativity dance wise... But my style, control, and natural musicality makes up for it I think... Most of the moves that I do which are extremely eye pleasing were inspired by the dancers I looked up to, but nowdays once I get warmed up I can kind of just groove with traditional "popping" and transition into things like waving, robot, strobing etc... But really complex stuff? I can't do that on the fly lol. I usually have to think of some concepts and practice them for a bit. I think most dancers do that, but some are just very creative.
In_Vas_Por I definitely feel that. It’s kinda like I’m very good at all the technical stuff and can pick stuff up very quickly, but when it comes to freestyling or analyzing beats on the fly, it’s really hard lol
Man, you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Rules in this fake platform are really against old-school American popping. In old-school popping, you could not do the stupidity that this clown Gucchon is doing and getting away with. This is a mixed bag of everything goes, governed by no real Judges to set a standard of dance like there is in Salsa or the tango. You have to be specific and true to the dance. What I saw was the creativity of the real American poppers going to waste, and the bunch of ignorant people that have no clue as to real popping. And the crowd cheering for the garbage of dance that these other people were doing! Like you who wrote all this. You are dumb!
didn't think it was possible too but my boy Green took it to another lvl from even his best past performances whoever the dj knew what real dancers need lol no dull ass tracks they had to bring it
I agree Teck needs to cut the aggression down a notch, let the other battler dance without showing him or her up, step back and give space.....If you are better they will let u kno, if not, they will let u kno.
No dude, u should learn more about history. Back then, battle was a battle. U try to knock out ur enemy, u try to break his mentality, and it was normal. What green did is what og did. U wanna some original? Green bring it to the stage, but u guys aint ready
@@mordekhaimakahanap890 Dude Tek was outta line point blank, it's one thing to show up your opponent, but to invade their space, act out like a child, and behave unprofessionally is another. That's not proper edicate. Showmanship has to override all your frustrated emotions, or should I say fear of the opposition.
Gucchon is on another realm of depth, goddamn. Those first two rounds were imo. Greenteck is arguably the best popper alive atm, so glad to see him back to his former nasty self. But Gucchi took this one.
Arguably the best popper? I feel like he's still got a ways to go but he has came quite a distance since I last saw his videos learning to tut on westcoastpoppin xD
@@GrowingDownUnder I think Gucchon took this one , may not of had the quality of moves that green has but in terms of feeling the music and overall timing it wasnt really close. You cant just rely on beat killing and tough moves when you dance against people of this caliber (gucchon , slim etc)
Greenteck... definition of technicality and body control from another planet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!plus I see no aggressiveness only adrenaline of the charts when you have two great great poppers battling!!!!!!!
I hate this kind of agressive battle style greenteck and many other popping battlers do. To often, the agressive mood does not fit the track. Funky music is not at all agressive.. It's about fun and joy. That's why i feel popping battles should be more about competitive fun than hatred rivalry kinda thing.
+Clouded Mind So true, I wish I could like this comment a million times man.. Geez :D Sooo true. I don't understand why it's a rivalry thing for real. And just like you said popping is all about funky music and that music is not aggressive in any way you look at it hahaha :D
***** I could see on his face that he was thinking that gucchon sux lol. When he was asked if he win or lose. And the final round where he thought taking short time for dancing can beat gucchon lol
Watching Green Dance : Man I should work on those moves. Some dope shit. Watching Gucchon Dance : Man I should dance like he does. Foundamental. Respect to both dancers.
I dont know why people hate on Greenteck. You dont have to like him but you gotta respect the guy's talent. I favor his style cause it's free, it's a journey from the moment he dances till he's done. Even more so back in 2011. Gucchon won but that's just how the dice roll some times and Im not a fan of his style but I respect the W he won. Stop hating on Green THE FUNK IS WITHIN HIM TRUST IT.
First I have to say thanks to DanceForever, the footage this year has been excellent and adds to the user experience for those that cannot make it to the event. Anyway this battle was fire, I like greentecks aggression and can fully understand it. A friend of mine made this observation actually, it seems like Green has added more boogaloo to his style, so I respect him for adding more variation to what he has/had.
Dance itsn't all about sick and big moves.. its also about musicality, doing the right thing in the right timing in the right music.. that's something much harder to master than fancy moves
No, no, no guys !! I understood that later, but greenteck is already a legend and an icon. This is the understanding you must have: Realize that he respects after the battle, but the battle for him is a real war. He is a great legend and reference.
guchoon busted out the boogaloo at the end and greenteck respected that guchoon also respected greenteck's first round - everyone was floored what green was doing good battle
Always come back to these great battles every now and then. Most of you in the comment section are just completely full of shit. Most of what Greenteck was saying is legit. He is in his bubble. His zone. That's his dance and that's how he battles. You think Gucchon's feelings are hurt? In the end it was respect.
Vongus Og FuFu Swag Ling Ling hey bud I would check on Facebook and msg Greenteck himself I'm sure he would be happy to help if not check on Google for Humble Trouble clothing hope this helps bud and the quality on them is great lasted for a good while
I realise it now the difference between amazing poppers and good poppers is that good poppers are good with grooving and demonstrates different ways of grooving. The amazing ones don't just groove, they sometimes don't groove but matches their moves with the vibe/feeling of the music. Gucchon is the kind that always matches with the feeling of the music. I don't think he ever thinks of a move, he just dances and it just so happens. :3
+Quincy Jhones disrespectful? yeah, its a battle.. and he isnt necessarily "dancing" out of turn, and by that i mean hes not using the time to dance as he would during his turn. He is mocking his opponent in order to point out weaknesses, not dancing to or on beat, and pointing out stuff that is just lame.
@@shavebeard im sorry i didn't response but youtube is deleting my comments and i don't know how to give you the mp3 of the song (cuz it's deleted from everywhere)
Gucchon the Experience , Greenteck should dance like the year Before ! , what is the song in the second dance ! in the second part it's really funky, i thonk i will to twice how to dance wit this song ! i'm 49 age old !
define "being from the westcoast". you sound like a fool because america can not claim the term "westcoast". thats ridiculous. every country has north, east, south and west sides.
How r u trying to blast on dude about the definition of west coast, in the US, west coast is defined as Washington state down to California, with the outline cities bordering the actual coast, smart man! Every country doesn't have an actual coast, so think before u type fool!!!
It's called style. Figured a popper would know that. Mofak is from quebec I think, and he makes west coast style music and reps west coast. West coast is more than just an geographical area...
I got the sneaky feeling the crowd is not respecting Greenteck's dancing capabilities and good moves because WE ALL KNOW FROM RU-vid ABOUT HIS CHARACTER!!! So no matter what he does, he will never got the majority on his side, unfortunately, even in this battle, HE IS AGGRESSIVE combative, and trying to intimidate his opponent, which I know that's just his style, as it is A DANCE BATTLE, but in a way I think a lot of people find not cool. It's a shame because HE IS A GOOD DANCER. I actually LOVE HIS STYLE, he is very good. I used to watch loads of his videos until I saw how he can be such a bad sportsman.
Been to GUCCHON's workshop, and his batttle style is pretty clear, watch and learn. Nelson is almost there, but I don't think Green is at the same level. I love and admire his style, however, Gucchon is unsolvable.
People going crazy about greenteck’s attitude in battles haven’t seen any videos of him in cyphers. His energy is completely different, in a battle what you’re doing when you’re not dancing is also part of the battle, to confuse the opponent and destabilize him or her. When I was a beginner popper, I did a performance with a couple of other beginners and Green showed us some respect and he was glad to see some people interested in his art form. Yes he might go a bit far sometimes, but a battle is a battle and it has always been like that, what you people are looking for are cyphers, that’s a totally different setting.
This Biggity Boy's a Diggity Dog I get that and I agree it was too much for me too, I’m more from the « no touching » school but I think that situation needs a good talk not a battle ban. Anyway I’m talking about his other battles, where I’ve seen people go « he’s too agressive » « he’s too mean » or blablabla. Water his too far battle or not, respect is not in the attitude but in the letting of the other dancer perform, it goes both ways, people who think that there should be only « good » vibes in battles don’t understand that it would kill the whole thing, every personnality has it’s place.
i met him en Argentina, I didnt even knew who he was, He was the judge in an event and i was walking with a friend and we found this group that was smoking a joint so we stay and he was sitting like he was one of them, just when they told me he was greenteck i realized, he is so chill
greenteck always with his attitude the battle attitude which i love but people wont give him wins cause they take it as he arrogant or something. he won here but the crowd gave it to gucchon cause he was less arrogant
Greenteck is an animal, but Gucchon is the king of the jungle. There's nobody on his level. There's Gucchon and them, there's everyone else. People that know popping understand that.
gucchon's last round was still much longer than Green. Gucchon's last round agaisnt Nelson was longer and stronger than him too. if there was a popper with stronger mentallity and physiclly then its Gucchon. green is high at the begining then dies down at the end of each set.
Gucchon dances better and, he does respect too!. the other guy Greenteck , you should learn some rules of dance and one is, when someone dances, his space is respected and You must be one more observer!
