I’ve watched Thank God at least 50 times the past week. That joint is pure pressure! I swear everyone has the same reaction to it

[@ronaldlapierre1203]

As much as folks talk about Famu's cleanliness, it's obvious that they cannot write music that's played at a concert level. And, if they try to play above concert level, they lose,; balance, cleanliness, tonation, everything just goes out of the door. Everyone can hear it except the famu lovers.

[@fanoflawrencedrunkpreachin834]

SU is STILL the King of bands! They sound and looked amazing on the field and in the stands!

[@damargittens4934]

KB I need you to bring back calling these bands out on the whole note ministry lol

[@naomiiii9503]

norfolk vs southern reminded me of ncat vs southern in 2022. Both bands had strong tubas but the songs the entire band was playing wasn’t what everyone wanted when going against southern

[@gh00stbeard]

Southern ain't no joke AT ALL! But, Tennessee was a surprise. Damn good.

[@jb_da_band_head]

Do some of y’all think they should’ve had the Battle of the TSUs (Tennessee State vs. Texas Southern) again?

[@latte796]

Man - Slide over to 16:14 and listen to SU blow this tune! This is the coldest arrangement I’ve heard this year!! SU is the baddest band in the land “Often imitated, but never duplicated!! #humanjukebox

[@damargittens4934]

I can’t believe the camera got closer but the volume was the same

[@Etpsenior7ohFoe]

19:33 “ ……….okayy” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@cran3247]

that southern arrangement of annihilate was some buns imo

[@Etpsenior7ohFoe]

Once VSU changed conferences, the band program took a big hit!!

[@liquidlightz]

Huh? VSU has been in the same conference since the 1920s

[@newdirection6182]

Their scholarship dollars went down

[@tomulhable]

KB be catching everything, he saw buddy drop his baton lol

[@taylormaid6721]

Dr. O'Neil Sanford 💚💛BEHOLD💚💛

[@RJ-TNT]

With VSU I think it has more to do with funding being reduced from the program probably. Several yrs back I know they usually had 160 to 180 pcs total unit. Hopefully they will rebound.

[@Kway773]

Never in my days would i ever would of thought id be saying.. Langston sounded better than FAMU🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️🤦🏿‍♂️

[@KBThaBandhead]

😭

[@jb_da_band_head]

I totally agree.

[@MDFS05]

Come on Legion🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️I thought y’all had something for SU🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️

[@elisharackard8782]

aye kb, u gotta get on that asu vs southern too

[@jamarilandor6061]

Facts bro

[@roysmakeup301]

Now su vs asu was pretty interesting

[@elisharackard8782]

@@roysmakeup301 imo, ASU won bc I just think they had a better book. they played gunna, sza, Micheal Jackson, and Janelle Monet

For the life of me I dont know why people continue to sleep on the AOB.

[@anthonyphillips7374]

Watching this battle for the ump tine time Norfolk was powerful a little more technical than SU. SU was doing what they are known for that’s CRANK CRANK CRANK. KB Norfolk don’t sound bad. I know you’re saying song selection but Norfolk was the better band in my opinion. NAWFUK

[@naturalbornscreamer]

What was the song that SU played against TnSU? 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥☄️!! O_o

[@jroyce98]

Thank God.

[@deon7388]

FAMU has no emotion in their arrangements.

[@fanoflawrencedrunkpreachin834]

What the hell is wrong with FAMU? They look like they took a step back!

[@reggiep]

I swear kb, I feel the same dam way..... naw they ain't wanna play that smmfh. They coulda played "be scared" and done better than that.... the only thing I will say is 1 song vs 1 song aint enough of a battle to be considered a battle.

[@justotxsu1898]

Yo kb I can’t wait till you review the Labor Day classic

[@FinestOfTheSouth]

The only people who truly enjoy FAMU are the poor students who have to listen to them on campus every week. They don’t know any better. They be at the games singing Purple Carnival like it’s Dreams and Nightmares. Smh. Bizarre.

[@TheTeamIsSHaRP]

I'm not from FAMU and I enjoy FAMU.

[@FinestOfTheSouth]

@@TheTeamIsSHaRPyou probably enjoy watching paint dry too, don’t you?

[@TheTeamIsSHaRP]

@@FinestOfTheSouth If you mean I'd rather watch paint dry rather than have someone play horrible on thier instruments and tell me it's music.... Then yes.

[@FinestOfTheSouth]

@@TheTeamIsSHaRPthe only people who played horrible in this battle were the Marching 100 Murderers and VSU. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@TheTeamIsSHaRP]

@@FinestOfTheSouth Again that's your opinion. I'm assuming you have some musically based evidence to back this? And let's keep this argument on task. I'm knocking you for saying that FAMU is trash because they play military marches and that people on campus are the ones that like that. Which I easily refuted because I enjoy FAMU and I did not attend that school. Let's settle THAT before we talk about the band battle at hand.

[@ronaldlapierre1203]

Why do people mistakingly assume that because you're loud and powerfully, you have no clarity? Yes, if you play at a lower part of the scale and slower, you will sound cleaner(at least you should), however, lower and symphonic doesn't always get the dub. Unless you're from Florida and just don't understand. If Su played the their songs without the power and down to the levels y'all expect; it would still be a wash out. Really?

[@reggiep]

Man I'm mad as hell, I know what the legion can do and they came with that shit smmfh.....

[@Isaiah_433]

Alabama state university. Vs southern university Lit

[@jonesjr8627]

🔥

[@evanmercer4399]

Southern may not have the best intonation, dynamics, or overall musicianship, but hey…They’re loud!

[@MDFS05]

Valley Tubas sound immature 😂

[@honestsagittarius4566]

Langston director at SU now I think?

[@ETFallTowerofpowerSUFtroop]

No he's a juke alumni. Along with some other band directors there

[@honestsagittarius4566]

@@ETFallTowerofpowerSUFtroop yea that’s what I read in him but it also said in his social media he was at skyline and Langston for a while

[@jb_da_band_head]

He’s now an assistant director at Southern. He was hired by Dr. Taylor literally 1-2 weeks after this event.

[@awiggins5588]

Jukes💨💨🔥🔥

[@anthonyphillips7374]

KB Southern Blew on Everybody not just Norfolk. That song was “ADHD” by the Stress Gods. I guarantee because your honest opinion watch what the LEGION come wit next time out. Stand round is ignorant as hell. Basically us old heads say blow your nutts threw the horn. Everyone knows SU is Petty in them stands. FFFFFISSIMO . LEGION GONE BE ALRIGHT. You know there’s gonna be a round two right. RIGHT?????

[@nathanlivingston6130]

Sorry NSU SU takes the W

[@fanoflawrencedrunkpreachin834]

I respect all HBCU bands, especially FAMU for their history but what in THEE LIVING HELL is wrong with FAMU? They just don’t sound that hot!

[@carlosscott7863]

Su baby

[@tomulhable]

Man FAMU has fallen off. I remember going to those Tsu and famu classics in Atlanta every year growing up. FAMU band was always what people came to see, but now not so sure.

[@kennygore1395]

where is the life of the song FAMU

[@mrzrou8199]

Why SU only played one song🧐🧐

[@fosixsix225]

Two songs, Annihilate and Thank God. It’s always just two songs and a field show.

[@malawilake40]

They played 2

[@mrzrou8199]

Oh okay thanks I didn’t hear the other song

[@damonursin6072]

SU 😂😂😂😂 💯💯💯💯💥💥💥💥💥

[@malawilake40]

I miss the live bro....Mane....but anyway FAMU garbage

[@ashtonharris668]

Famu was better against jsu though

[@prolific_outlaw3057]

I played for Chipman at Miami Central b4 he went to FAMU.We was great then but now he is washed up.they need to let him go and get a whole new set up.He remind me of the director from drum line.just embarrassing.

[@ronaldlapierre1203]

But..... let me guess again..... southern is just load and powerful with no clarity? Right?

[@cj9160]

Bra get on , su needed to be outside go look at them
