Crank Fest Battle of the Bands 2016 | SU vs. JSU Part. 1

[@SaileRetsim]

The Jukebox came out swinging! They IMMEDIATELY took control of the flow of the event. It had a massive impact on the crowd and the opposing band! The Boom was forced out of their comfort zone because the Jukebox set the standard right away! When introducing one's self, one should speak loud, clearly and with PURPOSE! Props to the SU band staff. Those guys get it.

[@mrwright82]

I'm glad SU played "Sucker For Pain". They are who I had in mind to play it...great job!

[@J.Nev.]

That "Tourist" Song Pretty Much Did It For Me😎

[@shabozpablo9825]

The absolute best i have heard JSU sound since the late 90's early 2000's, the balance, clarity, volume and arrangements was so on point. I can't say anything negative about there performance, Im a fan. Southern: one word "MONSTERS" they offered everything JSU did, but in my opinion what put them on top is song selection at the correct intervals of the contest(I know they had home field), another thing is, When Southern plays, I feel the music in my soul, my bones, my heart. I just don't get that same feeling wen JSU plays.. Jstate music sounds typical now apposed to the late 90's wen there style and sound was distinctive.. That's one thing I can say about Southern, they are true to there heritage,tradition and culture, I love that, that's everything in my eyes... Southern with the "W"but Jstate didn't take an "L" this night....

[@kordellguillory6618]

Su, comin with straight heat right out the gate, they blown on the first song Bruh, I'm so hype rn 💯🎺🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@MrPesante2008]

Dayum, did SU just hit Lift Every Voice fanfare on them?! I haven't heard that joint since I heard SU crank that joint on Famu in 93! killed it!

[@8thwonder0608]

Southern's introduction set the tone. All six feet of my body got chills.

[@LuckyDaVinci]

That something in my heart ended this part of the battle but soon as i get home .. wheres part 2 at lol

[@ItStayOnMe]

right this battle was so lit

[@SamKeys601]

thanks Garrett. I'll have to watch in the morning

[@dallasedwards3293]

This all I been waiting for...

[@shawnhopkins9814]

Both Bands showed out. Fan of both band programs

[@revcjs1022]

Southern all Day

[@dantecuxart]

The Human Jukebox showed out 💯

[@kiyonascorner]

From a musician stand point, both bands are great in their own right. I must say I was expecting more from JSU than we received. I have experience them bring it before but they seem a bit off. Not saying that the Human Jukebox didn't have any mistakes but JSU..."what happened?" I'm a true SU alum and was informing many of how JSU tends to bring it, but not last night. I take my hat off to my fellow Jaguars. YOU ALL DID THE DAMN THING! You all truly made me proud! You all brought back so many memories. I swear I could see a stand coming at my headwhile in the band room practicing "Soon As I Get Home," because I sung the wrong note. LMTO! Looking forward to the next one.

[@txbywola9610]

OMG I WAZ THERE!!! I dropped phone keys everything during SU first song!! They r so powerful!

[@rhythmislifelifeisrhythm]

I hope you picked them up....did you pickem up??? lol...

[@mefool8575]

lmao ong

[@beckcity16]

TXBYWOLA too funny lol

[@beckcity16]

Two of THE most entertaining bands that I've ever seen or heard!! BLACK MAGIC!!! I really don't wanna pick but since it was a battle.. slight advantage to SU..there's just something a little more extra special about them!!!

[@MMH0205]

JSU played TI's King Back @ 8:15 lol. Only band I heard play that was us (Bama State) 07 I think it was.

[@TyannaWalker]

I'm so tired of people acting like tha Boom lame and SU automatically takes over both programs are great Respect them both!!

[@danielowens9979]

yea JSU ain't no hoe... both are great

[@rakeanecollins2366]

accidental comment,no comment,can't pick a favorite from these two powerhouses!

[@thefam6952]

SOUTHERN's FIRST SONG IS FUCKING LITTTTTTTT!!!!!

[@mrbellafante1]

what is it

[@marionmarion6852]

+Dontrell Hickbottom "lift every voice" then "tourist"

[@MultiKool13]

battle ends at 6:20 😂😂😂

[@danielowens9979]

Boy I got a long night when I get off.. 3 parts and all of them around 30 minutes. lawd.

[@rovelt3802]

Damn! SU went in from jump and never got out of JSU! We are the Floyd Mayweather of bands....many haters but still undefeated. A person that can't hear can feel SU! We are the GOLD standard! Nothing compares

[@MrDajohnson2012]

I think both bands need to clean it up for Oct. 15th. Both had high and low moments and nobody can dispute that. This was great for a botb ... I have higher expectations for both at the actual game.

[@bandheaddork9527]

David Johnson I totally agree with you...in my opinion no band took the WIN...

[@dejohnoliver300]

I absolutely agree, you have stated that well... I was very entertained, but from a musician's standpoint, there is work needed by both bands... Loud does not equal good... I am definitely look forward to Oct. 15th

[@loulou3t]

I actually Lowkey didnt want to click on this because I wanted to save the magic for Oct 15...

[@vivecasufan4life595]

I'm a SU fan for life and will always be they my babies but people really need to just stop hating on the bands It doesn't matter which band is playing or any band they just young kids trying to have fun with each other just in enjoy all the bands they all have different styles in playing that's it

[@jarrettbee2623]

SU squad please stand up 🙋🏽‍♂️💙💛

[@EarthAngel504]

OMG . Southern came in there like, B**** we got it on our mind, wtf is poppin witcha.. Not gone lie.. after SU intro,then that 1st song. if i was JSU i would have been like, Shit wtf did we just get ourselves into? Fellaz,. let's try to make it outta here alive.

[@cj9160]

Lol ikr

[@dejohnoliver300]

The fanfare and 1st song that SU played, was more about the crowds reaction that made it crunk... The "Lift Every Voice" Fanfare is an old piece, which was resurrected on time, in the height of the pro-black/black lives matter movement... Therefore, any band would have received house for playing that song/anthem... The rap tune after, I was trying to figure out what it was... Yes, it definitely had power, but the trombones and Tubas were so out of tune; that caught my attention more than the overall song itself.

[@cj9160]

Nigga stop hating su is taking over aw I forgot they already did that

[@dejohnoliver300]

Cedrick Johnson...LOL... Yeah, you keep telling yourself just that.

[@later39]

Nobody knows who the Boom and white America not checking for them.

[@PeeJaye]

I was kinda shocked that they came with a march for the first song at "crank fest", but outside of that and the bad count off on the Kanye song, this battle was pretty even.

[@sevensjourney]

Lee Jr right pretty even to me

[@dallasedwards3293]

Lee Jr bruh there is nothing even about this. Put the Beats on or something cause I don't hear anything even... and I'm trying. Other than 1 song that JSU that the felt they had to play the end part twice that was it. JSU did nothing to excite the crowd at all or shock you. All the songs they played they been playing all year and they sounded better playing em at the games vs tonight. SUexcites and shocks. Just listen to the fans reaction. Nothing even about that. And I like JSTate but they just not in the echelon that the S is in...Tell me what was even???

[@revcjs1022]

No contest SU buried them Tonight! JSU need to work on having a clean sound!!!

[@Whoswac]

Lee Jr I agree . THATS what I've been telling MFs. This was pretty even. Both had some pos and neg. but these two schools r the most passionate about themselves more than any other hbcu so u can expect each to not really give credit

[@SaginawTIP]

lmao su cut straight to the chase no march music

[@Marcusc20091]

That tourist song sounds like it's the end of the world 🌏🔥

[@mrbellafante1]

which one was that

[@marionmarion6852]

+Dontrell Hickbottom they song after surgery played lift ever voice

[@marionmarion6852]

+Dontrell Hickbottom sure first song

[@Yeagerx2012]

The Crowds reaction too Su says it all

[@SaileRetsim]

I think it's safe to say that those new euphoniums at Southern are officially broken in.

[@Awol_n_Dallas_Blue_Trumpet]

oH MY WORD. SU 1st song. imma State fan too but dayum man Su on that ass....

[@calucas1]

Lmao😂 Southern was like screw the marches this is crankfest

[@supadupa6891]

Exactly

[@eternalnjem]

Su came with that heat

[@houseofbuck007]

The first song slayed

[@jamylephillips7792]

Lawd ha mercy... 💪💪💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😲😲SU out the gate...

[@TriggReacts]

Su sent chills up my body no lie

[@terrellw2003]

that cut off and restart hurt JSU this round!

[@lamore5054]

All on the director

[@mefool8575]

that made me wanna jump in the video and punch him in the face mane

[@marionmarion6852]

that March did to they got on my nerves

[@MrKingpin1205]

What's the name of the song SU played at 10:15?

[@mlodagreat1]

at the end of the day SU is ranked #2 out of all college bands in the country only second to OSU so i guess that means they're #1 in HBCUS

[@TheAlexandereands]

LOL 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂OSU! OSU plays with no soul or feeling.

[@michaelsteward2052]

Your opinion. Loud does not mean better. Where are the dynamics as well as balance. Everyone is trying to out blow each other. No tone quality at all from either band. Please check out BCU for tone quality even though their play book is one to be desire.

[@kamaccord]

BCU was not impressive at all in Charlotte, NC. BCU is far from a standard to be admired.

[@rovelt3802]

shawn lee SU is the best in the land.white folks gotta make themselves number 1. Both SU and JSU better than OSU, USC etc

[@TheAlexandereands]

LOL... Dee Madison! SU Still have better tone and and control. But still good luck with that!

[@gerardsince86]

how Lil' Wayne's manager, Cortez Bryant, just pop up at 13:34. hahahahahaha.

[@ericleblanc453]

whats that song southern played at 22:21?

[@tubadude-2269]

my gosh this sound quality in this video is insane.

[@Fineassalvin]

SU won that hands down. 🔥

[@ThatBakedMacAndCheese]

Listen, that "Father Stretch my hands" battle was 2013's "Holy Grail" battle all over again. Roles just reversed lol.

[@loulou3t]

Good job on that "Lift every voice" SU play the whole song and replace the star spangle banner with it...LoL

[@spacebar5670]

this some cold footage

[@fakninjaboi9074]

what song did jsu play at 8:03

[@jaysonmccloney6678]

man that suffer for pain was on point. southern blew them out on that one

[@tiorema]

Thats funny i was rolling whenever js poo started off with a march n Southern just started smashing off rip

[@TheAlexandereands]

I think all botb should have at least 3 to 4 marches in it! I miss Southern purple Carnival! One good March will separate the wheat from the chaff! All DAY!

[@tiorema]

S Alexander i agree but I could see if it was the game thats what we do whenever we warming up but its a botb you gotta bring heat on that first song

[@TheAlexandereands]

Lol

[@burtbutts7847]

what was JSU song after SU played tourist

[@cmccray1989]

What is the name of the first song SU played

[@darrius11234]

Tourist

[@marionmarion6852]

+Darrius Barrett you know that fanfare they played ?

[@darrius11234]

+Marion Simmons I think that's lift every voice

[@domwithamove8536]

does anybody kno the jsu played at 6:27

[@vincentsmith2223]

that tourist and joyful joyful by southern was the game changer and put Jsu to bed southern is the Truth!!!!

[@Dell_504]

What’s the j state song at 12:25

[@treleadmelton38]

I love southern

[@dallasedwards3293]

I hope this puts that Father stretch battle to bed. JSU version clearly can't even come close to touching SU version.

[@cj9160]

then jsu fuck up lol

[@squirrelfriends1025]

Dallas Edwards jsu version slays su

[@josephbrown7567]

Dallas Edwards just because they messed up doesn't mean that SU version is better than JSU because SUs version doesn't even sound like the song

[@MrDajohnson2012]

I'll take the booms version... SU is all power and no melody & that takes away from how the song is suppose to sound. They're human jukebox .... their version is a noisemaker compared to Jacksons...

[@jmy1572]

Dallas Edwards this the funniest comment ever! Even with JSU fuck up that arrangement is the best played by any band! SU arrangement is boring the only ok part is the end of the song! 😂

[@houseofbuck007]

JSU slayed I'm a Su fan but JSU did they thing y'all need to give credit when it's due... Su slammed the first song but JSU came hard with the next selection props to both band directors job well done because the talladega vs miles battle was a sleep fest

[@SaginawTIP]

it was an even match and i love su music but by hearing it in person the battle was even

[@mikebouie73]

you had to be there su smashed jsu

[@thefam6952]

i was there sooooo yeah ,,,saying SU smashed JSU is a flatout lie ...

[@mikebouie73]

lol ok mommas wrong again.

[@dejohnoliver300]

JSU was true to the signature and original composition of every song they played, and the dynamics were on point... I live for SU's intensity, but half the songs that they played were blasted so loudly, that you could not tell whom had the melody, which part was which, and what the song was period... There was no balance per the sections... Mellos blasting on the baritones, trumpets screaming to be heard, trombones flat, no hope for the tubas at all.

[@cj9160]

su is the best go home jsu

[@jmy1572]

Cedrick Johnson that's funny 😂 😂😂😂

[@marionmarion6852]

+jeremy wallace both had power and arrangements but su have advantage song choices and a lil more power

[@dejohnoliver300]

Lawd, people still don't understand the purpose of the mics being placed in front of the bands... Both JSU/SU have media teams that record their and other bands... The mics that are setup in front of the bands, are capturing the audio sound as the bands are playing. The mics are not hook to any form of output speakers. Now, if there is an overall PA system within the venue, that the venue uses, then the overall sound will bounce off that system and speakers... Both media teams will also employ the use of "grips", which is an audio capturing device that is held by hand, and used during movement as the sound travels; meaning when the band is in motion.

[@tarponpride620]

Even the MIC'S can't catch J-STATE TRUMPET SECTION. #PAPERTHIN

[@dejohnoliver300]

how u just gone start over like that

[@jabrilwright6479]

OMG that Mega slip up tho... JSU

[@lamore5054]

All on the director and tempo. Not the people playing. That recovery was great

[@MrDajohnson2012]

Jackson was outstanding. At the end of the day SU had home field advantage at the end of the day.... boom had some great arrangements...

[@revcjs1022]

JSU sounded like shit

[@8thwonder0608]

Jackson was not outstanding and please do not bring home field advantage into the equation. Crowd reaction doesn't lie. Jackson was outplayed, outmatched, and out arranged. Their arrangements lack substance and technicality.

[@lamore5054]

2016-2017 JSU is coming from SU at that game. They did good and sound on par with SU now! I would have do the battle a bit diffrently and saved scared of the dark for later especially with the go home chant and the perfect oppurtunity to turn and crank on them. Its the most SU-like song they have and would have been great to throw at them..missed opportunity. other then that THRY BOTH HAVE POWER AND SOUND GREAT THIS SEASON!

[@lamore5054]

did* opportunity* THEY*

[@josephbrown7567]

Wooga Man 40 you must not know any thing about bands!!!

[@18jupdog]

you never start over while playing a song that's a big no no

[@terrellw2003]

that lost it for me! hard to bounce back from that

[@SaginawTIP]

terrel you right that was so embarrassed i was seating on jsu side the fans was stunned it was to funny😂

[@kroticjordan3910]

You can't out Southern, Southern lol. JSU tubas are nasty, but whatever happened to the JSU style of play. I know they started this a few years back, but I guess of you can't beat them, join them. I guess FAMU and Southern the only two that stay true to their style

[@TheChosenJamaican]

Actually not true, SU is not the same as years back when they use to play "Can you feel it". No way in hell. Not going to debate this but SU is no where near the same SU.

[@marionmarion6852]

TheChosenJamaican right su lost its power lol

[@Joneschapel-q2l]

Southern stole from famu and su style came from pwi’s

[@EatDatHam]

Su first song??

[@phillipnoflin3453]

I have heard one song where the dynamic changed in this whole entire part from su

[@squirrelfriends1025]

Su fans are delusional jsu got the power !! This was a good battle !

[@Whoswac]

Knowles Carter I agree

[@dejohnoliver300]

SU band could have been pissing in buckets and SU fans would still say they killed JSU. You are right, they are very delusional... Clearly, they do not know the difference between power and being loud.

[@MrBethune1]

+Dejohn Oliver jsu is a loud band bt there only downfall are their arrangements and that's comin from a southern fan bt yeaaa they didn't last past this first clip

[@derrickb.3527]

umm jsu strongest section was Trombones... plus they need to work on choosing better song selections and better arrangements... Sorry but jsu got that fire L

[@dejohnoliver300]

Derrick Bowie... How so????... See most these comments against JSU are just reaching; especially from those that like SU's band selections and arrangements... Your comment is very inaccurate, though your viewpoint, just like mine.

[@trap323]

Jackson State played KING BACK by TI OMFg!!!!!!!!

[@YFDman]

what's southern first song?

[@TheAlexandereands]

lift every voice and sing (the national anthem)!

[@latoyacomeaux2007]

su first song got dam

[@ColdComment]

Sucker for pain 😖 # chills

[@anthonyhawkins4682]

If jsu was so great what happened at 19:22? don't worry i'll wait. you don't screw up at the beginning of a piece, erase and start over and say we won.

[@spacebar5670]

lol you also don't mess up twice on the same song, both bands had their ups and downs

[@thelegendbegin]

what is it about great sound, power,arrangements, song selection or who like who?. who's Nas or Jay z.

[@later39]

Why would you play Who Do I Turn To. JSU needs to work on their song selection.

[@318geauxleaux]

They need to leave that song to SU all day and everyday.

[@later39]

Right that's oldschool 90's Su song

[@TrayjsuRush]

What about all them old ass songs SU played since 09! GTFOHWTBS

[@jarrettbee2623]

[@isaiahnclay]

ATE Southern's dust..😴

[@jermainecopeland232]

I am Morris brown alumni so I'm neutral... I must say I like su but jsu BEASTIN!!! The clarity is amazing.. Su strong but my opinion it wasn't good enough too just blow jsu out the stadium like they all said they would...💯

[@later39]

That Soon As I Get Home killed Anytime Any Place

[@Riqo_Smooth]

Su had better tone, they where obviously louder, their arrangements are better , and Jsu couldn't keep tempo the whole night. Su's trumpets killed Jsu's 😂 and the song selection for Jackson was sub par... They may seem hard to judge but if you put away your pride and actually listen, it wouldn't be hard to determine a winner. Better luck next time Jackson, much love to y'all but southern has it this time.

[@PalmBeachVillage]

If I were JSU I would have stuck to the marches for at least a couple more rounds, then bust out with the power song after SU plays a march which the undoubtedly would have done....I believe anyway......Instead they got excited and went directly to their newest power song, one of Southerns traditional songs I might add.....

[@simwil1789]

Su need to play the opening to father stretch my hand as an individual piece
