Bruce Ykanji Vs Salah (Dusseldorf 2007)

Bruce ykanji vs Salah

[@jingnjuice]

I WAS THERE! Salah, my all time favourite popper got owned by a dancer who doesn't use any tricks.. I would almost say, pure dance from the heart. BRUCE, hands down!

[@lilaznboi93]

1st song - traffic jammer - bar kays 2nd song - when i hear music - debbie deb

[@Mtoobz]

Bruuuce, man j'ai failli avoir u naret cardiaque ! T'es un ouuf, t'as pas rouillé, t'es MAGNIFIQUE !

[@VincentsVideoVisions]

Bruce is the best to ever pop, period.

[@IAMJEM27]

From the TOP 5 dancers of the world. Both can win on each others.. However, Bruce killed this battle!!

[@seanfreestyle]

c koi le nom des sons??????????????

T'étais déjà cho a l'époque toi 🤣🤣

[@jtb3589]

Un peu près 12/13 ans après voici une réponse (même si je pense que tu as eu le temps de les trouver): Bar kays - Traffic jammer Debbie deb - When i hear music

[@Arnold1nspiration]

Bruce still heavily underrated.

[@ililiilili3366]

2007 salah was like a god amongs boys and bruce somehow, someway beated peak salah. wow. to this day this battle is legendary

[@ryanmdlowe]

Rocked Traffic Jammer and the Bar Kays in general for well over a decade because of this set. Pure class

[@911greg]

10 years later, still Bruce! #ykanji

[@sharkrez]

woah man... I love this battle!! Both are great but I have to admit that Bruce win this one eventhough I'm Salah's fan.

[@Mauritian_Omi]

This is the best battle i've ever seen unless someone can prove me wrong. I dont think Salah was doing his best but Bruce was fantastic! Their both my favourite dancers. Salah is my favourite but Bruce destroyed his winning spree in this match. 1st song - Bar kays-Traffic Jammer 2nd song - Debbie Deb - When I Hear Music

[@RasputinStream]

U can see that Bruce has much respect for Salah (and vice versa) which he shows every now and then by cheering Salah when he comes on strong. But perhaps the clearest is @ 3:28 when he is about to do one of Salahs trademark moves "lifting his shirt to reveal his insane stomach as if he was only to wipe the sweat from his forehead" but then doesnt finish the move ending his turn while making a statement and suggesting to Salah to keep strickly with in the context of poppin.

[@thegee001ify]

Bruce robot walk. The timing with the beat kicking in. Highlight for me.

[@viscountdarvish]

the best one 1 on 1 battle i've seen so far... bruce deserves it...

[@jingnjuice]

It doesn't matter how salah progresses anymore. He has already reached that level in which it's all comes down to the moment in dance. And just like any dancers (human for that matter) have ups and downs. This moment in time was simply devoted to Bruce and well deserved if you ask me. Btw, I was there! It was CRAZIII!

[@HuynhAnthony]

SONGS HERE : 1st song : The Bar-kays - Traffic Jammer 2nd song : Debbie deb - When I hear music (probably the remix) you can find these two songs in youtube

[@r9alexito]

Salah & Bruce are best friends, so this wasn´t a battle for them. This two guys are in the best 5 popper from the world. Was like the backyard bbq on sunday; no matter who won, only enjoy them ;-)

[@saeedalsaif3125]

the two of 'em are amazing but in this battle Bruce killed it

[@stuntmannicolas7314]

bruce feets are magics !

[@Dancer869]

bruce won the battle !! I was there live ! incredible show !!

[@letniicocteil]

DOPE battle of two incredible dancers!!

[@JustKeepPopping]

I love the poppers, i love da moves,i love the tunes and i love this video.

[@raedalotaibi5755]

Bruce Ykanji the best EVER and he won this battle sure

[@alebarajas3045]

+Raed Alotaibi I would dtill put salah over but bruce did destroy in the two battles that they had. Bruce is crazy though. My top 3 are 1. Salah 2. Kite 3. Bruce

[@SlickRick4EVER]

Well, you gotta understand that Bruce's been popping since late 1980s! I think Bruce has got around 7-9 years more than Salah.

[@alebarajas3045]

SlickRick4EVER I think salah started in the early 90’s. It’s pretty amazing. There’s videos of salah and Bruce being judged together and just being friends. They’re both amazing.

[@pamir-alichortv7291]

@@alebarajas3045 Salah is a clown

[@alebarajas3045]

@@pamir-alichortv7291 makes sense since being a clown incorporates miming just like popping does as well. All related

[@delbroox]

They're both so amazing!

[@birh]

Oh WOW!! One of the best battles ever!! Very close man, they both have very different styles of popping. They should form a group together for JD next time! SICK!

[@JustKeepPopping]

this is one of the best video's we all gonna see

[@bbbottsh]

Watch the footwork- Bruce is a dancer. Salah is a "performer". I prefer dancing. But performing is important too! Great to watch both!

[@SpringSauce23]

good battle, tough to find lotsa vids of ykanji but hes been at it for awhile

[@GokuYamoshi]

los dos son increíbles

[@choreograffiti1]

They were both on point. Bruce's spin at 3:20 was the spotlight for me, but they both killed it

[@suburbias]

Bruce rocked that fuckin beat. Showed absolutely no fear even though we all know he's already a badass.

[@SlickRick4EVER]

I agree to this. To be honest with you, I respect those that use more of their lower body more-so than their upper. A lot of poppers use the upper body (which - of course - is very easy to manage). Kite is power and unique for this (as well as Bruce for utilizing his gliding movement with his upper body).

[@NeoOsiris19]

Bruce was feelin that first set, silky smooth.

[@modelgecko5]

how could you tell if you've seen salah's back almost all the time? it was a tight battle. Bruce is very funky and has great moves, his waves are one of a kind. And salah is an excellent popper that uses many tricks, mostly because he's not just a dancer, he's an artist.

[@aliboy123]

Probably one of the better one on one battles Salah has been in. It's evenly matched in this footage. Dope ish...

[@MrDenizaslan]

two legends...

[@Def2ual]

QFT !! .. well said Serraboi.. both wat beyond most .. Bruce has been rocking and shocking for nearly a decade ..

[@Finkster071]

The hands at 4:45 couldn't be anymore perfect.

[@theinvisibleman9410]

Footwork focus FOCUS..!!! Smooth

[@Saviour10]

2 livin legends doin it!!

[@serraboi]

yo bruce took that HANDS DOWN! salah is an awesome dancer don't get me wrong im a salah fan too. but bruce's musicality was on POINT!

[@biomechomegapsi]

That video was taken in Düsseldorf/Germany. Bruce and Salah are known there for years and many of the people there took classes by both of them. Both are very resprected dancers(!) in the german dance scene so i doubt anyone was really biased, just prefered Bruce's style over Salah's and i think that's ok.

[@raedalotaibi5755]

U R the best popper in the whole world BRUCE YKANJI ^_^ You are a legend and miracle ^_*

[@mischageertsen]

omg that spin was 2 crazy..

[@u11ah]

nuff love for these 2.....they should team up together and take over the world

[@djflarethecreator9261]

Man Bruce Got That Oldskool Flava!

[@Fuuraisen]

No one killed anyone. It was a Win Win for everybody. Both are awesome at what they try to do. This probably one of the best videos featuring Salah and Bruce.

[@A1rPun]

i have no words for this (except that line).

[@iotahkx]

yo salah and bruce are ones of the best original poppers around now! So great battle!

[@ironpalm2]

All I can Say is OH MY GOD unbelievable, best battle ever.

[@kpgyoh]

Bruce won the entire Popping contest in this.. he is the man! but all of them are the best

[@Magic4Fun1]

wow that was a really good battle

[@subbassline]

please can you anybody tell me which is the name of the second song?????????????

[@louismo01]

thanks man

[@UseThatTab]

wow this is the 1st time i wasnt only watching salah that other guy was amazing.

[@schtel]

I think Salah just found his match. This Bruce guy does have a unique style and just pulled off some great moves that I would have expected Salah to have found. Salah has a well deserved rep though. That will be hard to beat or match. Great stuff from both guys!

[@perejra]

the second song isn't ida corr but debbie deb with the same title when i hear the music, but i think the basis (i mean song without vocal) isn't her or ida as well:) i'm looking 4 instr, hlp pls :)

[@LiquidRush]

This was an awesome battle, I can't really say who won, both dancers killed it. Very entertaining

[@NeoOsiris19]

I'm sure that was the first time that he really had competition amongst the crowd, they were going nuts for Bruce too. Couldn't have said it better myself.

[@angelakapapo]

Does anyone kno the name of the second song that was played during the battle i cant find it anywhere

[@flatsol]

Bruce's rounds were two of the best I'd ever seen. His footwork/gliding is DOPE. I remember admiring even around the time of Juste Debout 2003/4. I think that Salah can't help but be freestyle and less "pure" popping; it is his personality. At least, based on Bruce's rounds being so much.. cleaner - some people said "purer". He got into the songs so much better, I think. Got into HIMSELF much better. Salah tried to entertain, meaning, got OUTSIDE himself.

[@DieBlutgrafin]

Salah, as I've seen, is pretty hit and miss. A lot of the time his performances aren't fantastic. I mean, he's sick, but the majority of what I've seen doesn't really show his best. Bruce killed it, without a doubt.

[@grimtube]

bruce is a fucking legend, he's a dancer in every way. mad respect for salah and bruce.

[@chaotix6]

nice to see some more of bruce popping

[@jaysoal]

i notice neither of them did any diss moves at each other. It's a sign of respect for one another i hope. Keep the rival going. you both are great. BRUCE GOT THIS ONE. I score it 10 for bruce. 8.5 for Salah!

[@deadbeat86]

2nd songs name please!!, or is that custom mix??

[@bboysnack]

i love the phone thing salah did they also used in you got served haha. salah is legend for a lot of people including myself his animations are soooo sick and his capability of finding new way to beat the opponend even though this is like 3 years ago

[@spritedblue]

salah is like my fricking idol my whole life and one of the reasons i started popping but bruce just killed it..

[@greg609]

Wow. I could watch these two battle all day! But for me i like salah a little more in this one. Especially that trick at the end, crazy...

[@poppinpauly]

Pablossoyos is 100% correct, you cannot see Salah as well in this video because of the angle. I have actually seen both of them dance better, so it is hard to say who would beat who on a consistent basis. My hat is off to both of them!!

[@Avidire]

First time I saw salah being so full of being a popper rather than a trickster. :)

[@zerobombjake]

the song @ 2:23 is the instrumental to Debbie Deb - When i hear music

[@terah29]

how do i get up with both of these dancers i have an entertainment co and would love to work with them

[@plzlook]

bruce is one of the best dancers, and salah too but i think this round goes to Bruce ! gogo Bruce Ykanji

[@brycetennison420]

damn both poppers r fuckn sick... bruce is a savage and salah is a master at gettn the crowd his style is dope

[@JustKeepPopping]

This battle is wicked!

[@adambrashaw]

I don't agree that Salah is the superior dancer at all, i used to love Salah, but now, his stuff doesn't impress me, he does the same stuff in all his dance battles, with Bruce, he is completely versatile, every move links with flow, originality and best of all.. Style! Bruce is by far the best dancer around and Salah didn't see it coming and LOST, respect to my main man Bruce Ykanji

[@wavegangcrew]

oooooooo shiiett!! =) reallly niiceee!!

[@lisaluna7231]

Bruce......way to much power......GODDAMN

[@Kl2O]

Bruce vs Walid is a Legendary Battle.

[@joey0923]

salah always change his style ..but i like his style in 2006 Bruce got some crazy thing man

[@osheen18]

@stetuan55 the song is " when i hear music" by debbie deb

[@nanditoramirez5208]

estas pistas me motivan a seguir siendo seguidor del popping e igual los que lo bailan

[@alisub]

great battle

[@G12sty12]

thyis battle is sick!!!! can Anyone tell me wats the name of the first song.........

[@wjrmonkey]

Bruce is very good with coordination. Salah seemed not as tight as Bruce. But Salah got something else: artistic and creative moves that show wit and taste.

[@victorortega4377]

BRUCE TIENE LO QUE LE FALTA A MUCHOS AL BAILAR Q ES RITMO DA GUSTO VERLO BAILAR , LOS OTROS SERAN AGILES PERO HASTA AHI NO MAS, BRUCE LE PONE ARTE AL BAILE Y EL ARTE SIEMPRE SE DISFRUTA

[@seekelnasr]

Classic !!

[@shortydoall]

aight, you´re getting me wrong, but its ok. anyways, can someone put the link of the battle that salah was with akcy vs jr boogaloo and walid? i can´t find that vid , and i saw it once in youtube, but i can´t find it now

[@terminaldeity]

The spin move at 3:22 sealed it for Bruce. I liked this battle because they're both very comical, and it's also good for Salah to lose once in a while.

[@emanthechamp]

do know where you can find the instrumental?

[@poppindoc]

theshow1234 that is dead on Bruce will kill it when he is more experienced, i love his accuracy with timing also more tuts more strobing and he will have the total package

[@soundara]

I have the impression people think that bruce is a stranger!! so i want to clarify that , bruce is a old school dancer and are respected in france! it's like mr wiggle , pop'n'taco ,pete for the usa! in france we have bruce , walid , fox...

[@md0206]

He got nervous, Bruce's a monster.. even for Salah, Bruce clean style and superb dancing inside the music ;-)

[@Arman1992]

yeah and link and junior(the locker not the bboy) and soulja-eyez

[@BobandRoh]

This battle would have been a lot cooler if we could actually see the front of Salah. I think some of his tuts would have changed some of your minds. But wow, Bruce has absolutely crazy footwork. This was a good battle.

[@Puschit1]

Sorry, but both were equally amazing. What Bruce might be ahead regarding footwork, Salah is ahead regarding his arms. And the audience also cheered at both participants equally.

[@Grobbie.B]

I'm not a popper but i got respect for it.i just don't really understand as to who won or who lost.they both did a phenomenal job.

[@ShawnBurnes2]

Bruce took round 1 by quite a bit. round two was still Bruce's but it was closer. Love them both
