He said "enogh with drops", was a courage artistic choice that maybe costed him the victory. The song was perfect for a drop, in the part that he use that rowar bass like a monster in the forest, he could do a drop right there, wold be cool narrativly. Anyways, great round, brave choice, great artist
Now you need to get on 2021 loopstations, Not only to see most of these guys step up in quality b ut I think that given how fond you were of Brez you're going to *love* the 2021 winner but I won't spoil who it is.
@@Henk717 I'd love to see those but those are significantly longer than even battles plus Anthony goes into quite a bit of depth sometimes so we're talking 1 hour videos. If they fit into Anthony's format somehow or he does those only for Twitch or someone comes through with an extra big donation for sure though.
In a way both NME's rounds are great counters. The anti headshot round and the heaven round after being killed. But I agree with you its not the style they were expecting. If he had made a event version of that song with a suitable drop he may have took it. I hope you dont miss the judge showcases of this event, especially Beardyman was insane but I think you'd like all of them.
I think this was one of the best showcase in the history of loopstation no doubt (watched the original video like 20 times when it first came out). In my opinion, Rythmind had the best "BATTLE" rounds and therefore won over because this was after all a competition (very strong first round with catchy drop and catchphrase + very well thought second round and great build up into the "flat lining" cold ending), but NME made a first banger drop and then showcased his music which I was mindblowned with at how cool it was. He doesn't have to to turn red over the situation as he also delivered a master piece. Forever greatful for those artists to step up on the big stage and show us that.
I personally would have given the win to NME. Music in battles doesn't always need a drop imo, but to come up with such a thing? Bro Rythmind killed him with his second round and NME's response was a musical masterpiece about his soul leaving his body, ascending into the sky and joining the angels in heaven. Let's break it down: Creativity? Hell yeah, the most creative round that's ever been done at GBB. Originality? Hell yeah again, nobody has done that before. Battle move? Yeah, but only if one cought the meaning behind that Sound quality? HAVE YOU HEARD THIS? Well yeees, mindblowing Crowd response? Well sometimes less is more. In this case utter silence isn't a bad thing I think the thre things the judges din't like might have been 1) the tiny mistake at the beginning 2) not getting the message of it 3) no hardcore drop But tbf I'm only a producer, a "regular" musician and a beatboxer, but no looper. So maybe I missed some deciding factors there and it might just be my irrational opinion because I love this second round of NME's
They were allowed to use 2 devices in this year, was cool to see Rythmind win with just the one. edit: also not sure if it's true, but I heard he was a drummer before. Would explain the solid beats he does.
Bro YOU GOTTA watch the Kickback Battle Loopstation, there's so many good pieces there and a completely different approach I want you to discover Robin, he's my favourite looper right now
Before starting the GBB 2021, I recommend the kickback battle since there are many references in the GBB of the kickback such as the rounds of robin, frosty or the battle of brez vs rythmind. People are very impatient for gbb 2021, but if you want to understand the contexts, I heartily recommend kickback
Yus, I finally have time to properly appreciate this reaction. I hate my job for making me miss Headshot and NME's second round. Headshot makes me lose my shit but... I DON'T GIVE ABOUT THE MO-FUCKING PO. Perfect segue. Disgusting drop. That shit is SO HARD. Rythmind's second round is the most careful, controlled sound I think I've ever heard but, still, like... HEADSHOT. This second round from NME is probably my favourite round ever. I'm just in Lothlorien the entire time. I understand that it looses because it's just a soundscape and there isn't a 'drop' but I think it's something so remarkably different, unapproached, and so timless. It's just a based feeling. Regardless of who won/lost, the rounds in this battle will always be among my favourite moments and I'll always love them so much.
It was really enjoyable seeing you react to these loopstation battles im hoping you gunna react to the gbb21loopstation battles now aswell there are some must watch battles
You should react to the battles of the SBX KBB21 loop station. Start with the quarter finals between Mirsa vs KBA 1 and 2. Then continue with the others. This competition was one of the best in pandemic. Greetings 😁
I'll explain for anyone who dont understand.first two round There's a clash between NME and RYTHMIND, headshot and machine gun shots.RYTHMIND's second round k(i)lls NME,and NME's second NME creates paradise and prays.
You have to watch the 2018 loopstation too, there is some cool battles, include the one that NME makes reference in his round, the "shoutout to balance". I love the battle between Beatness and Balance, btw
By the way, NME has a great dance version of Arabian theme (I think it was in 2 round) - part of his techno/house live set. U really need to check it! With it he can win (in my opinion)
I'd love for you to watch the KBB: Kickback Loopstation Battles (They have unarguably some of the best sound quality you will ever hear for loop stations). Also, the GBB:21 Loopstations are also INSANE, so that would be cool a well. But the KBB is such an underrated event.
A friend of mine was there and he said that balance drop hits harder than a train ... even on headphones the first drop from NME sounds so hard .... fuck i wish i was there
I really hope you ignore the people saying to go to GBB 2021 next, linearly you should go to the Kickback Battle and Kickback Loopstation battle, (KBB) which were interim events made for the lockdowns. There are compilations for the winners, but I think you'd prefer watching the full battles. After you've watched those it then went to GBB 2021
You should react to Beardyman his showcase in GBB2019. As you already know him you can just Listen and appreciate his masterworks and by the way mostly freestyle showcase
The only unfortunate part about this battle is now whenever the community hears a similar bpm or pattern to the headhot round they yell headshot in the middle of peoples rounds you can see in NMEs round but this happens still to this day in random battles
Man.....who watched Brez Reaction & Maddox reaction to NME vs Inkie, know that Inkie should be in that final! He wasn't cheating at all, it was just poore organization.....organizators allowed his second device without telling him that there may be some restrictions while using it (but actually that leg pedal loopstation wasn't even in No list to bring with you to battles) + judges for some reason decided that they are gods and if Gbb organization allowed this device they could cut Inkie from final calling him cheater for using all the power that device has, stupidity 🤦♂️. I also know that Inkie showed what exactly he did in his rounds and they appologized to him for thinking all this bs! But I think their "Forgive us" was making Inkie a part of Gbb, a judge for loopstation battles + doing some live streams & showcases too! But nonetheless to give a W, to Nme who totally ruined his second round in semifinal, still has salty taste🤢
Please react to mb 14 showcase la cup or MB14 & SARO | Boss Rc-505 Artist Week | Grand Beatbox Battle Showcase 2019, both are one of the best loopstation ever for me
For me... NME win this battle!!! Why?? Because RYTHMIND used the metronome for more than four bars... and that would be a type of cheating... but the judges didn't take it into consideration... there is a video from BreZ where he analyzes this battle and explains better what happened.
I’ve watched this millions of times and still love it but the one thing that NME didn’t do that could of got him to win is when he did the fast snares at the end of round one, he should of said headshot. That would of beat Rythmind so bad
I'm not sure about it, but I think NME didn't want to win, and Rythmind didn't enjoy his victory... I may be saying nonsense but that's just a personal opinion...
