IBE - USA vs Korea/Japan - PART 1 

I have no idea how Machine and Born always hit the beats consistently. It never fails to amaze me.

thanks for uploading this BboySoulz

I didn't know Johnny Depp bboyed 0:06

This was a really sick battle! Both sides were incredible.

BOOM, thank you man =D

this is amazing!

You are absolutely right man. Thank you for having a decent grasp on reality, unlike some others on youtube.

Well the song that starts right at 1:21, after the intro is DJ Format - Lords Of Cardboard

Are you talking about just this clip or the whole three part video? I only recall him coming out once in this video, with the jackhammers to the beat.

very nice way to start the battle two great similar styles thesis and wing

i love how bboy smurf wears all RED lol

one of the best battles ive ever seen

smurf and hong 10 was good, damn!

katsu > born commandos at 6:05 made my day

My god, I've never heard of machine, but his last set was sooo fucking dope. And damn... Hong 10 with those 1 handed halos...

soon as the mc said street masters I almost died ...legendary Miami bboy crew

best bboy vid ever mann hands down!!!!

No doubt, that guy's so under rated and his footwork is unimaginably swift.

Man, even though Thesis is so young, you would never be able to tell by his dancing. Such confidence and perfection from such a young bboy is amazing! Great battle. Machine at the end.... mindblowing

Holland, I think all IBE events are held in holland. Its dope to see new younger generation come out, im excited for 2009.

watching Kazuhiro then Smurf is amazing... like watching 2 tornados

in which country was IBE08 held ?

there are some straight raw sets in this battle!

Nice Luigi, dope.

For me 2008 was one of the bests IBE

The remix is either done by dj element or dj timbers. The Original song is called Dj Format - Lord of the Cardbord. Enjoy.

machine has to be one of the best beat-rockers ever!

nice beat kill by machine at the end

LOL! Lil' Bob went in with Korea/Japan. Funny guy.

I like how Youval just shouts a random area code at 3:52 lol.. "The 999"

favorite part .. ending. machine killed it.

Darkness was in IBE 2005 :P but don't expect your fav bboy to be in as specific event, I mean I wish darkness was in this one but when he was in his 25s :P

Yeah I saw that one too. The guy from NEWEST crew was Jong Min and apparently he was also part of Expression. They probably just messed up there.

this was the best ibe ever in my opinion xb aha

El primer beat ¿Como se llama?

i love how two rival countries with so much history of hatred towards one another grouped together for the sake of art and representing asians. team asia ftw!

my favorite from each side: Wing & Machine :D

That was Dj Timber? If So, sick!

what song is all the Jazz samples from on the first song?

on the usa side u forgot to mention Mijo on the description

Can anyone tell me the name of the first song (with the claping) ? Thanks!

most favorite battle

Differ is my hero.

what happened @ 6:57? aw.. hella sick lineup though

oh most definitely

Yes, money does make the world go round, but that doesn't mean an event can't be had without corporate sponsorship. Look at the early Freestyle Sessions, BOTY, and even the BBoy Summits- those were done with local and scene sponsorship. It's the big money prizes that require the big sponsor names and that is what corrupts the scene. The problem, I think, is that it has become such a standard to have huge venues, huge sterile circles, and huge money prizes, that when the corporations do want to

DAMNN Differ called that at 9:59!!

if they were only supposed to take one person from each crew, y did both Katsu and Taisuke compete?

I don't know about moonsojung, but I feel that corporate entities should not be involved in sponsoring bboys, ever. This (and hip hop in general) should never be bigger than an expression of yourself. Who the hell needs corporations to sponsor that? This is a main reason why the dance, the culture exploded in the first place: it represented the essence of self in such a way that most people couldn't fully understand it.. and that in itself brings some serious soul to the equation.

Damn this battle was tight! I kinda wished Bboy Kandoll (Expression) was there in the, he woulda' killed with his insane footwork. Oh well he's not very well known, but it woulda been nice seeing Snake or Physicx too. Machine, Thesis, and Luigi were killin' it too! Does anyone know the song starting at 2:53?

@BboyMattie man i was looking for machine n kid david 2 but yea this ibe team still beast.

THE NAME OF THE FIST SONG PLIZ :D

what was the last song machine killed called?

Chill...you can't expect your favourite bboy to be in a specific battle.

He went out like once...

what is thesis? (ethnicity) and what's the lasst song.

No one noticed lil bob (red jacket) comically coming in with Korea and Japan instead of the US team? 0:43

whats the song when the battle starts?

haha.. yeah, man .. but it seems that anyone in mzk are seen as the cream of the crop, yah ?.. best of the best kinda thing .. are there any other worldwide crews ard ?.. (spinkingz ?)

0:43 lil bob came out in Korea/Japan line looooooooooool surely because he is also asian, nobody noticed him hahaha

machine is frukn dope at the end

I wish all of the major bboys would show up at IBE every year.

Machine is on freaking point man!

I think Machine has the best backflip to splits I've ever seen.

Machine killed that beat at the end.

Japan side was Katsu from Style Vale Tudo/MZK. You might be confusing Katsu as Taisuke. Now you may be talking about Taisuke killing it in this entire IBE event in maybe the other battles like against Europe, but as for this very video clip we are commenting under, Taisuke did not even come out once. If he did, show me where because I just looked through this whole video clip again and first guy out was Thesis, last was Machine, and in between that Taisuke is nowhere to be found dancing.

naw theres a lot from cali. Machine,lil bob, thesis(i think), smurf, ruen,

What is the first beat called? Anyone?

what was the song played at 4:36???

USA is really agressive here hahaha dope battle gotta love these exhibitions

That would be cool if dragon from foundnation was in this. He's also from MZK. Would have been cool to see a routine with dragon & taisuke

btw what's the beat machine killed?

lol sprry i dont know which comment ur replying to. i posted so many times on this vid. uh i guess ur talking about kandoll. yea i do see him much either. the last i saw him he was on some korean dream team along w/ Bruse Lee, The End, Snake, and some guy from NEWEST crew. but yea i wish i could c more of him.

dam machine killed it at the end

whats the song machine rips apart

Legend battle

what name song dance machine min 9:50

Where is Morris :( ?

song at 2:53 poets of rhythm-north carolina

does anyone know the first beat?

ok cuz kazuhiro, katsu, and taisuke are in the same crew so i was confused.

the music is so much better than in same battle 2005

anyone know the song played at 00:14-34?

song at 1:20?

I just notice that Thesis was biting Toyz. lol but they have similar stylez but the ending to his first set is EXACTLY how toyz does his lol. I cant wait to c those two battle.

What;s the first song played.

Just see the lineup of Japan/Korea, all the stars are all inside, styler, powermover, blowups, you name it.

Timber rocked that battle...nasty beats

whats the first song when thesis comes out?

MACHINE KILLED IT FUUCK

Machine my favorite ❤

whats the first song ?

Katsu,Born and Ness Mighty zulu kings! Battling it out!

the end of the first taisuke set was great, before smurf, he break the song with very style. even without physicx the korean team was fantastic, but yes, i miss he =(, xD MACHINE WAS SICK!!, i think that his set is one of the best, all the moments of this.

@megasrd123 even super cr3w has asains of their own: ronnie, do-knock, rockadile and vex

wats the 1st song!

first song: Earth dance - Bobby Bryant

som 2:53???

lol, why is my comment about bboy Kandoll having amazing footwork given a thumbs down?

be involved more, there won't be much hesitation. I can see it happening already. It's not nearly as bad as the 80s-- when corporate greed nearly gutted the scene to oblivion-- but it's still quite a looming threat.
