Bruce Ykanji & Gator vs Nelson & Franqey at Juste Debout Steez 2012 | YAK FILMS | Popping Battle

[@hafizsyahrir2109]

Since 2012 until now, i still watching this epic battle over and over again. Obviously, Bruce supposed won the battle but he is the founder of Juste Debout. Instead of focusing him to win his own event, he just make the event best dance battle ever. And everyone enjoyed it. He still a living legend.

Hi @BruceYKANJIofficial, your performance was one of the most beautiful and creative I've ever seen, I danced popping here in Brazil 20 years ago, but I never tire of watching this video, you are an inspiration for many of the new generation, congratulations brother,

[@BruceYKANJIofficial]

Thanks brothers and sisters . One love OBRIGADO

[@josephaudebert7480]

Sooooooooooooo impressive. Thank you sooooooooooooo much everyones. Peace on the planet. ❤❤

[@sammylundri8589]

U have to respect Bruce not just for how he can dance but for what he did at the end. When judges said Nelson and fraquey won everybody started booing and Bruce was the one who tried to calm down everyone. Apparently he is the winner, perfect combination of technique and personality

What a great performance Bruce Ykanji, the end was rather insulting but it turned out heartwarming. Not only the body is dancing but also the soul

that moonwalk shuffle was the nail in the coffin......

Isn't a moonwalk its was sunwalk

JUDGES ARE BLIND ? SHIT ... BRUCE DESTROYED THEM, WOWWW BRUCE IS A MASTER !!! STEPS SO CRAZY .. SO ORIGINAL!

[@nsouzarj]

I can say that it's one of the best popping battles I've ever seen with these dance monsters in which my master Manu Sampio gave me a base and I had the opportunity to take a class with master Bruce Ykanji when he was in Rio H2K I can say that I really enjoyed the popping like locking and breaking because they are part of a Hip Hop culture that continues to this day.

[@mikegsatx2108]

I love this battle still watching this a lot lol

[@IntruziX]

[@bassy369]

Seriously unbelievable. Bruce, you just can't do that. It's illegal. @6:38 to 6:48 is simply mind blowing. To perform that with such precision, ease, musicality, and beastness is insanity at best. What an inspiration. What a battle.. just...wow.

[@papyndour5224]

One of hardest popping battle ever

@@fluidever Yeah bro, I watched by the years a lot of him too but this battle was so full of intensity and also of the passion ,not only of the dancers itself but also the crowd showed so much love and reaction and Juste Debout haven´t been only a Popping battle,so that only popping dancers understand their freakyness.

[@FuturDancer94]

@@pariawe Ehm ...you better look at the date of my comment...

[@poploque]

11 ans après mes derniers commentaires, ce qui me frappe aujourd'hui c'est que tous les danseurs forcent ! C'est ce que je reproche au peu au JD de Bercy, tellement grand, on dirait que les danseurs veulent sortir de leur corps, l'énergie se perd... Ils sont tous les 4 meilleurs dans des petites scènes ! Mais ce qu'on retient aujourd'hui je pense de ce Battle c'est la bicyclette de Bruce au round bonus !!!

[@MrFifoulefou]

Merci à vous 4, bon esprit et super échange. Hip Hop rules !

[@AkeemDenim]

First of all this should have been the final, cause it was the best popping battle at this competition and I give major props to both teams. Second of all, Bruce can be happy that he wasn't charged with murder, cause he absolutely killed em. And thirdly big shout out @YAK, cause they never sleep and give us inspirational videos 365 yo 24/7.

[@nautique1154]

Bruce is an inspiration to all hip hop…Even the beginning of what they called “New Style” (Bruce & Ibrahim) Les Twinz , Nikko, Bouboo, Alex etc…

[@rnbandchill6524]

bruce on a whole new level.. 1) Bruce 2) Franqey 3) Gator ... 4) Crowd 5) Host 6) DJ

Easily my favorite moment of that battle was watching Franqey just start destroying the beat at 5:15. Bruce's moonwalk at 6:40 is also pretty disgusting. Props to both dancers. Sick extra round indeed.

[@LittlexEva]

We dont care who won or lost , we're happy to have these goooood ass dancers in France :D

[@fireblaze3150]

Thats messed up that Bruce Ykanji & Gator did not win. They clearly did! That finished move Bruce did at the end he killed it to bloodclattt whow!!!!! OMG! Crazy I must had rewind that a million times lol lol Trust love the performance Great!!

[@TheLukeylala]

As much as I agree with most of your statement, you can't deny the amount of skill Bruce has when it comes to gliding, he is the best glider I have ever seen... But yes Nelson and Franqey are beast.

"Walk" should have not only won this contest but the entire competition. Just amazing.

[@stephaniemroin]

Bruce Ykanji is even better than the Twins: he has both technicality and fluidity to an inhuman level!!

[@NBCNothingButCrap]

Yeah. I agree. Twins are good.. but just normal. Their moves not really surprise me at all.

[@sagamoreful]

Salah...

[@alexandroskoutsis545]

do not even compare poppers to hip hop dancers, popping in comparison to hip hop is boring, and to the guy who talks about salah we saw how that went when he faced larry at the gs fusion, ffs

[@majinb9540]

Ahahaha good joke ahaha Twins are good now ? Ahaha

[@mushubanane]

In my opinion, we don't enough praise for Nelson. Don't even know why there're so much haters on him... Just look at what he's doing, perfect musicality.

[@CarlosMartinez-lb6dd]

6:44...THAT'S GAME OVER LADIES And GENTLEMEN!!!

si si franqey bien présent sur le dernier passage , qui donne tous son sens au popping , qui est tous simplement la musicalité , merci franqey pour se passage un grand grand moment de pur bonheur, gros respect !!

[@IAMJEM27]

Bruce was epic.. I'd give it to him!

[@Kambod]

Yesss Bravo à Tous ces 4 danseurs de Folie !!! Il faut respecter la décision des Juges qui sont vraiment bien placés pour juger car 3 d'entre eux ont gagné le Juste Debout et Caleaf est pionnier en la matière donc chacun peut avoir ses préférences mais à un moment donné faut laisser la parole aux vrais spécialistes et surtout respecter leur décision et ne pas huer Des vrais Bonhommes une Rencontre de Danseurs qui donnent tout !!!! Respect c'est tout !!!

Franqey went ham that last round this guy was on point with all those moves that move at 5:34 was sick the only thing Bruce really had was that moonwalk it was a good call by the judges

Bruce is really good I love to see him popping.

6:43 DID YOU SEE THAT!!!

[@skize9282]

Tombé par hasard sur cette vidéo, et je suis surpris de voir ce que Bruce est "devenu"...si tu passes par là Bruce, on ne se connait pas franchement, mais je suis de Noisy, et on avait tagué un soir ensemble (avec Price), dans notre folle jeunesse de 15-20 ans ! ...dorénavant j'ai le même âge que toi...pour info ce gars (aux yeux très clair ! ) avait la réputation d'être THE danseur du quartier à l'époque (je parle du début des années 1990), avec Jimmy Sissoko qui était également de Champs me semble t'il (l'époque des Créateurs Uniques, des TKS dans le graffiti, le début des MJC, tout ça...)...je te découvre en vidéo seulement en 2017 ! Je zieute les battles de danse en ce moment, et celle-ci est dans mes favoris ! Comme déjà signalé, Bruce obtient les faveurs du public à sa 1ère apparition, et a déjà gagné, c'est "mieux" que les autres, plus convaincant et robotique...c'est ce que l'on remarque lorsqu'il commence son 2ème round, le public a déjà fait son choix...mais alors 6.44, cette variante du moonwalk, c'est la cerise sur le gâteau effectivement !!! La tuerie !!! Chapeau, et content de voir que certains gars de ma "jeunesse" et de mon quartier (des gars oldschool donc) sont encore présents.

[@wishingtroll]

Gotta give GATOR some more credit man...that guy is one of the cleanest all-around poppers out there. Watch closely and you'll see that he beats Nelson easily.
