Rap Musician/Engineer FIRST time EVER seeing Rythmind 🇫🇷 vs Frosty 🇬🇧 GRAND BEATBOX BATTLE 2021 

For anyone confused, this is a good example of why this year's GBB will for the first time have a "Live Producer" category of the competition, split off from the Loopstation category. So the rules of Loopstation are since 2019 when 2nd devices were introduced is that no matter what, you CANNOT have pre-loaded sounds, however you are allowed to have MIDI sequencer pre-loaded on either the 2nd device or the 2nd generation Loopstation if using one. Those MIDI sequencers must be activated by an artist-made sound, either from their mouth or body. This is REALLY apparent in this video, where the artist is making a noise into the mic to set of the sequencer. There's still a very large "LIVE" element involved, you can't just make a noise and the song just plays, its not like a radio host putting on a record, they still have to craft the song live loop it, and keep the mix well-balanced there on the spot. So there's a ton of skill here, and MASSIVE respect to the artists that are doing this. It's become very obvious that this aspect of looping has grown into it's own thing, hence the "Live Producer" category this year.

Dude if you loved frosty’s second round, you have to check out the last German Loopstation Championships. The German loopers are on another level man

Yeah frosty's second round is absolutely legendary, it was #1 of the top 10 drops of this years loopstation battles. Like everyone else said bizkit vs robin next, i think yall will love it❤

Also... GREAT REACTION guys! This is a whole other aspect of beatboxing and loopstation that is now grown into its own genre at GBB this year, called "Live Producing". LOVE THIS!!!! Y''all's eyes on Frosty's 2nd track drop..... PERFECT. You've gonna love the Bizkit vs Robin battle if y'all do it, they were on the other side of the bracket leading into the finals :)

Bizkit vs robin is absolutely a must for next

So a fun story that will probably get lost in the comments. Frosty's second round debuted in KBB21 an online competition few months prior to GBB. Rythmind, Saro and Inkie were the judges. During results from the battle in which frosty first used that round, Rythmind said that he has no idea how he could possibly beat it if they were to battle against each other and indeed he couldn't.

The tune from Rythmind’s second round was originally from Mozart’s Requiem in D Minor. Both are insanely talented but for me Frosty takes the w hands down because it was all his own original music, rather than “sampling” other stuff. Thanks for putting me onto loop station battles BP! I found your channel through your Ren reactions but I love your energy and how varied your content is. Subbed ❤

1 last comment: specifcally for future MixedByBlitz reactions, I'd *LOVE* to see him put in front of some German Loopstation, particularly since they've REALLY started popping off 2022-2023. The German Beat Box Championship 2022 videos are up and the level that they're working now makes them the ones to beat in GBB 2023. German Beat Box Championship 2022 battles I highly recommend are: Antrix vs Kaos (VERY Hype) Lennard vs Friidon (VERY Energetic) Slether vs Kaos (VERY Polished)

This is one of the craziest things ive ever seen and heard. Frosty is a legend for that 2nd song 💪 Cant wait to check out more. Much love BP 🙏🙏🙏

Gotta get this guest for more loopstation reactions. Absolutely loved this guys!

I watched this round... Over a 100 times .... I'm still getting goosebumps 💥

Frosty’s second performance was epic and has gone down as an absolute legendary performance. I remember watching this live and was BLOWN away by it. It is actually his entry submission which is why people knew the track, but I still don’t think people where prepared for or expected such an amazing performance and sound live at the event. Also someone else has explained the difference between the devices, second devices and production in the comments better than I can. But your seeing years of progression in the art in your reactions over different tournaments with different equipment in what is essentially a few weeks of you watching. Looping has come on so far so quickly and what these guys are doing is just unbelievable and deserves so much more credit and exposure 👍

thanks bro❤ bizkit vs robin is so insane 🔥

Bro...Frosty's second round will never stop giving me goosebumps He's just INSANE

Hell yeah!! I was waiting for this reaction

Bizkit vs robin has te be the next. Robin is on a different lvl good! And dont forget to check mb14 la cup

I loved this reaction! The sounds were great and Blitz looked like a kid in a candy shop! But the most priceless thing is BP head banging with his stank face😂😂 bring on the battles!❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥✌🏻🫶🏻

Theres a feature on the loopstations called silent recording, where you can record stuff but it doesnt play it in the output. It gives more of a surprise factor because you dont know whats coming. Thats how frosty usually starts off his rounds by silent recording into the MIDI sequencer which is his second device.

I appreciate you reacting to this, but as a non-active beatbox for a decade, I can't help but mention some of the best loop station battles that I probably watch a hundred times. One of those is. PENKYX vs THORSEN | Grand Beatbox LOOPSTATION Battle 2017 | 1/4 Final These 2 are actually household names in loop station, unfortunately/fortunately, they met at the early stage of the competition. I can guarantee you, this is fire

Should check out German championship 2022. First up is Syjo vs Mistyx as the quarter final. The whole championship in sequence is a concert of awesomeness. The finally of Syjo vs Slither is magical.

So at this event, after this evening of battling was over a lot of people were just saying that this battle was the finale. As in: It was of such high quality and the hype in the crowd was so unreal!! I wasn't a real fan of loopstation but since I was there for the eliminations I also automatically stayed for the loopstation and DAMN I was in love!! The live effect is even crazier than on youtube!! Even typing this, I just feel the hype again! Frosty's 2nd round was amazeballs!

That was an epic reaction! Hell yeah have him back!! Show him them beatbox battles! And the finals!!!

His collabs with Dlow under the name Kotcha are LEGENDARY and a great show of Frosty as a beatboxer while this shows more of his raw musicality. Yes, this is still all voice in these battles on the loopers, just obv heavily produced and practiced tracks that they're performing live.

I really liked your guest. Here are another 2 for you both to watch and react together : 1- FROSTY VS BIZKIT GBB 21 FINALS 2- BIZKIT VS ROBIN GBB21 QUARTERFINALS

I sometimes drop multiple comments in your vids, sorry! Bu right away I just wanna say how much I LOVE how you plug your guest's work and accolades. Like you always sound so genuinely proud of them, and it's so fckn wholesome that you build them up in this way!

Sxin vs Frosty next!!!

The sound Rythmind was doing was from Mozart -Lacrimosa. A masterpiece

I told you so 😂😂😂 thank you for reacting to it. Frosty slays in the 2nd round 🔥

2021 battles have a lot of my favorites. It was an epic year

This is about the 7th time I’ve watched this, not only for what is an epic battle, but I love Blitz’s reaction - you can just see the awe and absolute joy in his face whilst absorbing this epic battle and outstanding tracks these guys gave us 😀

I told you to check it out BP 😉 Glad you enjoyed it bro!

This year they allow for the use of a second device connected to the loopstation. It has to be approved, but you can see it changes the game quite a bit. That on top of the fact that theyre both using that new mk2 device, yeah. Much harder to recognize as a live loopstation performance

So glad you finally watched this. That second round is killer!

This has to be the best reaction video I've seen . Totally natural

Next you neeed to react to the finals Bizkit vs Frosty

For what to react to next, I think for the reaction flow first react to Bizkit's rounds since he does rap in some of them. But really don't miss out on Beardyman's Judge Showcase from 2019 once your done with the 2021 rounds because his showcase is absolutely spectacular and actual freestyle.

Frosty's second round is from kickback battle which was an event during covid. There are both solos and loop station. It is amazing. Also i personally recommend bizkit or Josh O

You can pre-load your settings, but everything needs to be produced on the spot. The crazy synths are pre-set effects, but it still takes a vocal input to make them go. Anyways this kind of thing is why the category was split into two: loopstation only and producer (all the extra gear).

what a great reaction!!! you should see bizkit vs robin, crazy battle too!!

i got goosebumps just thinking about you reacting to bizkit vs robin. you will love it!!!!!!

Please please react to Bizkit vs Frosty now, it’s the finals of the same tournament and you need to see Bizkits rap rounds

i recommend the top 30 loop drops of the german beatbox championship 2022 they went completely insane

Definitely need to check out Bizkit from USA vs Robin and vs Frosty!

Your joy from Frosty's drop was even greater than I hoped hahah legend

I told you Frosty's second round is one of the best ever. :) edit: Also, Saro vs NME is a dope one too. Saro showing why he's the best ever.

Ive been waiting for you to hear Frostys second round in this battle ever since you starting going down the rabbit hole xD

That was so cool to watch BP watching you lose it Frosty 2nd. Imagine being the crowd. I wanna be in that mosh pit

All of it is pure vocals, preset sounds are not allowed! Happy to see you interested in how it works

Bizkit vs. Robin is an awesome battle too or from the german champs syjo vs. mistix

That second frosty round is one of the best loop tracks of all time for sureee

btw the sample in Rythminds 2nd round was from Mozart Requiem in D Minor

For some extra context. This is mainly done using granular synthesis using the granular delay built in to the rc505. All the input sounds are made live but using the 505 as a granular synth opens up all the doors for intricate sound design

Yes BP...Frosty is a Beast...you should check out his early round vs Sxinn.....Amazing crowd reaction

Yeah like some of the other people have said, you have to react to German Beatbox Championship 2022 and West German Championships 2023, they are both absolutely insane! And the GBB23 producer and loopstation wildcard winners are also lit 🔥

Frosty's Fall is my go to hype up song!

This is the one I've been waiting on 🙏🙏🙏

Black Pegasus!!!! Love to see the beatbox reactions. Been waiting a long time for you to hit these. You gotta do Hiss bbu wilcard. He tore up that competition

One of the best sets I’ve seen “fallen from grace” !

Is it just me... or is anyone else also wanting that Rythmind/Frosty loopstation collab?

Men, didnt you notice the last one was Lacrimosa by Mozart ? Thats from his Requiem (in D minor i think) Great reaction 🎉

keep doing this "batles" reaction please!!! are amazing reactions!!!!

can't wait for the next ones lol

Thank you sir for reacting this video❤❤

I'm so glad you reacted to it and I was cracking up seeing your reaction to frosty's second round. I'm not sure if it's already in the comments, but as a background info to rythmind: BraZ explained in a video that Rythmind found out too late that he has to make more songs than he had prepared, so he didn't have much time for the songs here. He is an amazing looper and creative too and I know he can do much better. His first Song I personally don't vibe too at all here, but I think he did a great job with the beat for the second one. I'm not sure if he would've created something that could've beat Frosty's second round, but I think if he had more time it would at least be a split decision. Frosty was quickly becoming my favourite in the GBB21 because I really love the atmosphere he created and the creativity and variety. I would suggest the final round from Frosty and Bizkit, the Solo Elimination Round from Dice, the Solo Elimination Round from Rythmind (it had me cracking up and when/if you watch it, you will probably know why), the sound there it's insane and shows how good he is at what he does. I love seeing the GGB Loopstation content here and that you enjoy watching it too

You should try some German Loopstation battle ! Lennard vs Friidon is nuts ! And i love your dude in this react ❤

WTF guys is Mozart - Lacrimosa, the 2nd song your guess was referring, one of the most famous classical songs of all time 💀

Hey Pegasus, the loopers have the freedom to manipulate the vocal samples they have using their own devices; like saturation, bitcrush etc.

100% need to check out the German Loopstation Championship its on this level and more!!!

Nice one dude you bring a new guy👏💥

BP is my brain inside my skull listening to Frosty's second round.

Nothing can be preloaded. Everything is made live, weather its authentic or through a machine effect or second device effect. Its all made live on the spot (live altered or not) but its amazing what some of these artists can make with just their voice and a machine!

my fave reaction to this battle

Fiiiiiiire reaction 🔥🔥🔥

I nearly watched every GBB Video more than once over the last years..and still i have to say Frosty´s 2nd Round is one of the best ever ever ever...!

You guys need to see Dice elimination round GBB 2021.. Guy literally brings full orchestra

Nice reaction❤. Do it champ (Biskit) bro.

Yoo man if you're vibing with the beatbox vids you gotta watch D-Lows SBX kickback battle compilation it is mental! Love your content keep it up 🤙

Such a great reaction as always. I agree with a lot of the other comments, you should check out the GBB 2021 Bizkit vs Robin Semi-Final. Much love ❤

We are gonna need some Bizkit sooner rather than later, he is the King of the Groove

Frosty second round drop - best drop GBB looping ever bro

No preloaded sounds, he turned audio down to start so we couldn’t hear that’s why it took a solid 10+ seconds before he started, everything is from there voice and it’s just about changing frequency’s and stuff, so talented I couldn’t do them justice but my sh*tty explanation

Also is pretty known Frosty's second round was best Frosty round ever and best drop of 2021 :)

One thing I've always been so curious of is how Saro has adapted the new sequencer. Something tells me he has some insane stuff cooked up that's going to blow some peoples mind at one point.

Frosty vs sxin and bizkit are both fire rounds

Frosty's second round is literally the final boss.

Damn frosty isn't even my favorite looper but his second round is easily my top 1 looping round of all time, that's how good it was

YES Guys U need to watch the Final together!!

you have to watch frosty vs bizkit! insane battle!

Frosty does a silent recording. He starts out by making the sounds and doing the changes and then plays it, but it is all still live.

Frosty v BizKit, absolutely banger

Frosty's huge synth sounds are using frequency modulation on his own voice (or static from a jack lead). The frequency modulation combined with layers of sounds pitched 5 octaves up or 7 octaves up etc can create huge sounds that sound completely digital. @Black Pegasus

Frosty just had his sound muted in the beginning, but he could hear it through his headphones

😂 19:16 Black Pegasus witnesses a murder "Oh My God"🤘🤣

I know you are new to the loop station reactions, Pegasus, but your reaction to Frosty's second round is how you determine the winner is. You lost it more than any other loop station battle so far. That's what it's all about. You get it, trust your gut, and keep up the good work. Love you, bro 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 P.S. this way my suggestion... you're welcome 😂

the ones you already saw were pretty much all from the vocals except for the ones with sequencers. they allowed beatboxers to use second devices that are triggered by voice to be technically beatbox but it became controversial with some people. now in the new GBB, they split the categories into two, loopstation and producing. Loopstation now only allows 1 device which is the loop itself, but the new loop as well allows for sequencing but that's about it. Otherwise, it will be just beatbox with a lot of effects

And yes they can mix in their headphones while he's got something playing

Yep german loopers are on another level , you should watch syjo vs mistix or syjo vs slether or lennard vs syjo

When Inkie is jumping and saro is standing with both arms up you know you won

Yooo lets goo!

The second device has destroyed the fun part of live looping..
