Hey bro, thanks for the dope reaction, analysis & advice! (Btw, love your answer to the question at 3:03 xD) 1. Yes the silences were intentional . Me breaking away during the silence instead of having a measurement of timing was also a choice of mine. I tried both methods but prefered breaking away more. I felt that comin back in when I felt it was right just felt better (especially with the change in tempo) 2. I always try to just put out a track I like (like in 2021) however, it was a little different this time. I actually took a long time preparing this years wildcard but was unable to execute it well because I got sick. I made this last minute track instead due to this, so it makes me really happy to see you enjoy & understand the entire track xD I think me getting ill was also a blessing tbh, cause I managed to create another track that I really like xD
THATS MY BOY STEADYYYYYYYYYYY LETS GOOOOO The first drop stankface is exactly the one I had when he showed me the drop! Steady is super elated and happy that you reacted to this:)) Says its the best moment in his beatbox career!
As an acapella artist, I believe that the energy of a song is in the breath and silence. How energetically you breathe (or lack thereof) between pitches telegraphs the song's energy to the listeners/audience.
really like your reactions. It seems you actually watch them the first time, which is more enjoyable than others, that prentend to hear it the first time
Hey Dan, I love hearing your thoughts and the thoughtful and sensitive way you respond and discuss abstract musical ideas. I think you've really beatifully and respectfully responded to these beautiful compositions! Thank you for creating and sharing this kind of commentary and genuine energy in your response. Huge love
Read Stitch's pinned comment on his video if you haven't already, he spent a month making his WIldcard, only to get ill so he did this one instead. I hope he makes it through so we can (hopefully) hear it!
I love D low's passion for the art of beatbox. He never feels threatened just always so happy and hyped hearing others being so skilled. A rising tide raises all boats. Almost a goku engery that if others around him get better than him that means he can get better. Keeps up the good work man
Hopefully, Stitch and Den can manage their voices for GBB because I know they struggle with breath and/or stage fright, so I really hope they can perform on stage if they make it.
I have been listening to Before I Go for weeks now whenever I go out on a walk so glad you feel that it is just as listenable! I also replayed that first drop a bunch of times cause that combo just flows so well.
I think Steady did something impossible which is taking generic thing as a DNB beatbox and just with that(the way he did it) he made it very very enjoyable and in same time this sounded battle ready 100 percent, display of technicality and structure for me at least is there, and even visual delivery is on point. Oh yeah and i was screaming and jumping together with D-low and i think plenty of us did hehehe. Let me pull my magic ball.... i predict 7th place just because its a sick sick sick well thought DNB but not necessarily a breakthrough in beatboxing. Lets see how my estimate holds up hihhihi...
16:30 better than anything I've heard from all the wildcards so far and it was off the dome and nonchalant. That's why D-Low can't compete anymore. It just wouldn't be fair. lol
By the way, if you really want to learn poly. I recommend not doing a very high falsetto. I personally do a falsetto at a lower note to be able to do poly. You may have to go lower or maybe even higher, or you aren’t whispering at a level you need to do that you can get that perfect mix to get poly.
I’d love to have more beatbox like Stitch’s wildcard, I love deep basses and drops but the musicality of that is great, maybe not battle worthy though (big maybe), but it’s an amazing track.
