Final Toprock @ Juste Debout 2010

[@StevenFlosi]

That moment when James Brown comes on and Ynot goes to another level and kills it. If I can use a Dragonball Z reference, it's like he turns into a super saiyan when James Brown plays.

[@Seekillbeing]

One of my go-to inspiration videos - both dancers on point, but Y-not just RIDICULOUSLY funky!

[@vasyanskee]

1. Johnny Frigo Sextet - Scorpio 2. Irakere - Bacalo Con Pan 3. James Brown - It's A New Day

[@jeisonalpizararce8478]

thanks bro!!

[@pedrovictorc]

Thanks!

[@DavySigfusson]

Watched this so many times! Love Ynot's style.

[@somoskoi]

Ynot is translating James Brown to steps...incredible

[@lucasnunesbm]

Ynot is very good !!! top rock feeling !

[@dennisgalarza7544]

That’s the way we do it in Brooklyn

[@NyctNyct]

A lot of haters = two dislikes? What exactly are you saying? Most of the negative comments are about the crowd not the dancers.

[@hacharlie1623]

he is so amzing

[@TippmanFaith]

it was a good match up in the beginning but then YNOT just took over the fucking show. so beast!

[@MrTarom1]

Sabian todos que YNOT iba a reaccionar asi con un tema de James Brown!!!

[@dennisgalarza7544]

I’ve been up rocking since the 70s so do the math

[@ianvlnva]

The contestants don't get the songs in advance from Juste Debout or whatever. But essentially the contestants, especially if they're very well drenched in the culture, most likely and probably know a lot and most of the good tracks or basically all of the tracks. Thats why even if the DJ spins random tracks of his choice, more likely than not, unless its an unreleased fresh track by the dj, the contestants and most of the people who are into the culture will know the music :D. Peace!

[@ToKaa812]

watching 1/4 final...... best

[@sinetwo]

Doesn't seem to matter if you post baby lullabies, people are always going to ask for the songs :)

[@MrFigaccionee]

WOW !!

[@BocaNejra]

Love Ynot's flava for sure, he's a master. If I was a judge the only negative thing I would say will be the arched back, he always seems looking to the floor and it doesn't look nice, maybe he keeps his shoulders too stiff because he's focusing so much on doing intrincate pattens of footwork? peace.

[@ukbloke28]

hunching up like that is classic bboy stuff.

[@MrTarom1]

1.39 YEAAAAAHH!

[@DjK-BreaK]

@Ravoroll no it's another version

[@snowwolfsabertooth]

shit they are so clean! (especially the guy in white)

[@BckToFront]

Are you kidding? I Had the pleasure and privilege of being taught by why not and he is anything but robotic.

[@ShotBoxTelevision]

yeaas

[@superfly000]

They are called slim fit black jeans.

[@dennisgalarza7544]

I give u a plus for trying

[@djleejones]

Hip Hop vs House

[@dennisgalarza7544]

We do it face to fa ce

[@dennisgalarza7544]

Take it from the. Best in park slope

[@dennisgalarza7544]

That’s the problem today with new up rockers they don’t do their research

[@DZeeSea]

Yeah that's mighty impressive. That being said, having hanged around with bboy's I've noticed they listen to so much funk they ain't up getting the songs they practice to in battles haha.

[@seymourglass26]

This just isn't fair. When Ynot enters a toprock battle it almost becomes an exhibition, because we know who's going to win. Maybe Keebz could give him a battle, but I've yet to see him lose when it's about the tops. The other bboy was dope too, but Ynot is to toprock what Cico is to 90s.

[@JaaayVeee]

Ynot destroyed this battle

[@lyrana]

I think that NYCSubway2012 had their names confused, I did at first

[@aayjay666]

James Brown comes on and Ynot levels up and smokes him. Classic Ynot.

[@YoungMonkey9x]

no no,i want to know their producer :D.Cheap Monday or what?

[@animeaos]

Theres 2 things not right about this battle. 1. impossible to beat Ynot when theres James Brown 2. The hell is wrong with the crowd?

[@dennisgalarza7544]

Spice floormasterDacers

[@DZeeSea]

Do the contestants get the songs in advance? Cause ynot is essentially listening to each track on full battle before each of his starts, I think that's a fair advantage. Still they both performed really well, I especially liked ynot's performance on the last song, very on-point with the rhythm.

[@ukbloke28]

they're all classic breaks. he knew them inside out and back to front.

[@Er_taz]

chi è HAHAHH grandissimo ynot

[@YoungMonkey9x]

sorry for asking this but : Does anyone know the name of Y-not's pants.I want them :D

[@dennisgalarza7544]

I would love to battle Anne who got the all’s

[@bboymiedoso]

Song del 2:37

[@hostal01]

ynot got finezeee!!!

[@malybboy]

don't mess with ynot when james brown is on the decks !!!

[@Lapulacuvoi]

what the funk is with that crowd?

[@LOLq1313]

I feel like ynot won that after 5seconds of his first set

[@TriangleChoke96]

why not?

[@26leejay]

what's with the crowd? there just quiet :|

[@LiteHitDaIce]

You have to know the technical side of what they're doing to appreciate it

[@AceBambam]

who's the guy ynot is battling?

[@TheKayanna12]

They don't get the songs in advance. This is all freestyle.

[@dennisgalarza7544]

Pa pa that ain’t up rockin

[@Kazi900o]

The song at 2:30 plsssss? That track is sex!

[@kotani-wav]

haha i thought ynot made that flash with his hands at 1:56

[@ClAcKeRzW]

@a1onarap There is no such thing as whooping a pioneer like Ynot. Keeping it original.

[@ToKaa812]

what of song 02:30? thk

[@IewizzleAlot]

this is bugging me.... what's that first song?

[@dennisgalarza7544]

U wanna earn look at 7 gems footage

[@adamsmith4614]

No need to practice the song... just go with the flow.. listen to the beat

[@heckyes]

I find all of this music doesn't inspire me to dance at all. Not sure how these guys can manage it.

[@bigbaldin]

than you don't have funk in your sould, I guess. I would allways step up for a dance by that music :)

[@SanNico]

The music is a challenge, the point of a battle is not to dance perfectly, it's to dance better than your opponent.

[@reezyrocks12]

try power battles then.

[@tweeze123]

***** prob cuz you can't feel the beat bro, no rhythm!

[@sirlordcomixx1]

Sorry 4 me...basically no can Top Rock..u need STYLE first, there were a lot of fillers (moves that just fill music) Watch Ken Swift..Style and Moves... Sorry.

[@RichardSavery52]

sorry y not is too robotic the other guy had better flow ..

[@ukbloke28]

lol no. what a dumb comment.

[@BocaNejra]

I must admit I agree with you after rewatching the video. Ynot's upper body stiff as hell, despite being cleaner.
