Funkin' Styles 06 - Gucchon vs Salah

One of my favorite battles. Personally I think Gucchon is the winner.

[@saidbaiza1633]

This battle will remain immortalized forever in the history of dance

[@esestlloco]

much props for both this is one of the first battle i seen when i started watching popping and still enjoy watching this battle one my favorite

[@neferazure]

As far as repetitiveness goes, every person has what is called a signature move, its what distinguishes them from the next dancer. Gucchon has some too, and so do many other dancers. Also there is nothing wrong with taking what you saw someone else do and tweaking it or making it your own, that's how dancing evolves. Anyway, its all about having fun and enjoying the music and letting the music speak to you. They both love dancing and that's what they came to do. Mad props to both.

What katoeezz says is exactly right. Timing, musicality. And when you have that in abundance you can do improvisations endlessly. He is of the same caliber as les twins. This guy is truly a legend and deserves allways respect. He brought interpretation to a different level. And he has what great clowns like Popov have as an extra.

[@Emomoz]

great battle! i loved them both

[@zhivkodanc3r]

Both good,both fun to watch,both respect each other!!!

[@robert_pt]

I think that if we mix many different elements together and make dancing not only 'dancing' but also an 'entertaining show', it will be a perfect and wonderful dancing. This is what Salah taught me and also this is what Salah always does.

[@Zen-ki3eq]

How time flies. ;(

[@alisub]

اوووه على ايامك ياصلاح برايم صلاح 😊

[@RoronoaZoroHunterX7]

What an awesome battle!! both styles were awesome!! i didn't know who Gucchon was until this battle and hes good as a popper and im pretty sure he has gotten better since then, but here i think salah won

[@mlhourav]

The humor that Salah brings is what I like. Not to take it too serious, dancing is about having fun, and Salah looks likes he's having fun. Just because he does the same moves doesn't mean he can't do just about anything. Lots of dancers perform the same moves especially when you have as many vids on youtube Salah has you will probably see the same thing more than once.

[@ludovicagiannini3205]

great battle

[@eldorado303]

pretty good battle. different styles, both good.

[@Doc202]

Salah couldn't touch gucchon now, gucchon has gotten crazy!

[@yodastealth]

respect is beautiful

[@BlitzAngel808]

The songs are listed somewhere in the comments... I think the first song was "Pop It" - One Way. I don't remember the second song.

[@jrock2310]

what was the second song?

[@TrollingWaffle]

Looking for the second song's name please.

[@igrewold]

regardless of who won they remain the cream of the crop. and among the best top ranking dancers.

[@nicorap74]

Salah is so complete. He stays out of the field when his opponent is performing. I value that.

[@silent17ish]

Who knows the name of the first song??

[@reanimation777]

whats the second song, plz??

[@PoPnTiNg]

@TomDHify the uk scene still very much up and coming hopefully be at uk bboy in 5-10 yrs time we will see though :)

[@Oddish08]

second song??

[@mojoham123]

what is the name of the song?

[@jjphysstud]

salah is truly a dancer. it's entertaining and skillful. perfect combo

[@poppindoc]

and turned his head into an alien that was awesome

[@RoronoaZoroHunterX7]

Its great to see a battle of such a high level!! Gucchon and Salah go wayyy back and they know each other pretty well. Even though both are elite poppers, I feel that Salah did better than Gucchon mainly because he was on point more. Don't know about you guys but Gucchon is a hell of a popper too.

[@saladaps]

A segunda musica é do fatback band - burn on baby alguma coisa assim. abraço. Salada - São Paulo - Brazil.

[@r9alexito]

Tracklist: 1.- One Way - Pop What You Got 2.- The Fatback Band - Burn Baby Burn

[@StivDance]

Nice Final Battle...

[@Darkshadow7827]

What was Gucchon rubbing on his shoes? I pop for recreation, but I'm not competitive, so I don't know these things. Does it make it easier to glide or something?

[@vinfluence1]

i wish Salah and the boy on the Kollaboration will have a batlle one time... :)

[@Saki8inhell]

Personally, I think there's no winner. Salah and Gucchon are awesome dancers and they are the best when the stuff is about locking and poppin'! One day I'd like to go to Japan, the world's best poppin' n lockin' dancers are there!

[@angelsainz7233]

Whats This Song name ?

[@abueluz88]

the name of the first song!!!!

[@jfcheeyang]

1st song is Pop What You Got by One Way

[@AnonymousPopper]

gucchon fucks up people on the dancefloor ok, he is one of the best poppers the world has ever seen

[@smokejoe20]

yeer can u please upload salah vs kid boogie man:D

[@Id3m]

upload it please , hehe. thx bro

[@neferazure]

you left out Legend. Also one of the dopest poppers

[@nawaf07ful]

You are astonishing. Salah

[@spritedblue]

salah always has this unexpected moves and never does his moves over and over again like any other poppers there.

[@dShortyd]

i hate people that when you dance imitate your move while you're doing daaaamn! great battle

[@jrock2310]

salah is very charismatic & is very fan friendly. sometimes even incorporating fans into the show. its hard not to like him going in. which i think helps him in the end, not that he needs it. now that he is so big, its harder for the other guy to live up to the hype.

[@DKWAN]

lovin' Gucchon in this vid- hands down~

[@invadertopak]

both are such fantastic dancers, but i'd prefer salah the winner as he is a superb dancer and a superb entertainer at the same time, at the end entertainment is what counts for the winner if both are as good as these two are, anyhow its my thinking but salah is fun to watch...

[@66228539]

gucchon........whadax.... dope

[@MrNkth]

Well done, O Salah

[@jrock2310]

great showing from both. salah is also a bit of an illusionist, dont u think?

[@katoeezz]

salah wins because he shows something different in battles and is still able to hit and show musicality at the same time. you guys might say he does the same shit over and over but no one else can do what he does.

[@lemonos93]

One Way - Pop It / Pop what you got

[@indesertum]

if you're talking about between his rounds, it's for traction

[@RsX714]

i think dude with the black hat for sure knows how to pop

[@SIDSPOPIN]

first song is one wey-pop it

[@MarcosVinicius-dm8vb]

pode crer salah no sistema,rebenta salah.....

[@waltz4zizi]

LOL i love at 2:20 gucchon already knows hes going to do that stupid hat shit LoL

[@mustafa2031]

2nd song is Fatback - Burn Baby Burn

[@joshntequila]

You know how most poppers have a signature move or just a habit that sets them apart? yeah. thats basically it.

[@ivanwhite]

Salah killed that cat....

[@1drughiultras]

@Rev31test your so right, i hate it when they do that... salah is guilty of its too sometime... they all do it...

[@phabiyo]

don't say that salah is not a professional popper.. he's one of the rare beings who have actually brought something new to the game. he's an innovative dancer who has stretched the walls of traditional popping and introduced a more entertaining way of delivering through his unique character. he's truly a pioneer and a damn good popper. yall need to respecanize.

[@joshntequila]

In my humble opinion. I think Gucchon was there to dance. I see Salah as an entertainer. He always gets the crownd going. Eye poppin moves and shit. But Gucchon. SHIT. Killed it.

[@Bima_Lack]

o and another thing when people say salah is clowning its not clowning its what cha call character and trust me its helps alot to have great character especially when battling... some people gotta realize that there'z a difference between battling and performing

[@BlueBeetle13]

reply to this comment for the name of the second song

[@SuperInvestigacion]

muy bueno salah !! un 10!

[@CutesyBubblez]

Gucchon was good, but Salah is ridiculous. and i think he battled more as to just faced the judges.

[@MrCbolden]

lol@ the dude in the blue! he tryin tho.

[@kanelee]

@DociPonken u kiddin right?

[@SILENTKING527]

I respect both salah and gucchon. they have own style. it's hard to say which is better. only I know I DON'T WANNA SEE THEM at battle which I participate lol

[@ajcguv]

Salah is the best.. The most funky dude!

[@azntaiwan]

Salah is a phenomenal dancer. Gucchon is an amazing popper. You see the difference? Gucchon would kill anyone is a straight poppin contest, but when ur able to throw different aspects of all types of dance into a performance, thats when Salah shines. You see what i mean? Regardless. Both are crazy talented.

[@MasterGunner]

Trick are also part off popping

[@doubleGarmy4life]

salah the best... he makes the dance funny...

[@duruman]

first song one way-pop what you got

[@jhon13xx]

Gucchon sem ritimo .

[@skjortan]

salah pops, hes a popper and he has got so many intricate homemade magic moves, you couldnt come up with anything like it so just zip it.

[@zhivkodanc3r]

@PoppinJazzY its hard to argue with the audience ;)

[@Gomesmesgo]

@PoppinJazzY that is EXACTLY WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY FOR YEARS

[@0ucantstopme0]

Out of respecit isn't the one waiting suppose to get off the floor?

[@stillclaimndp]

if nothing else i give this to salah on execution, sharper, trickier movement.

[@DantePeña11]

es una pena la persona q no conosca a salah y no saber q su cuerpo no solamente camina, corrre, o salta si no tambien se expresa al sentir la musica

[@Lynxofdoom]

They both popped well. I think collectively, Gucchon online started popping in his second round. During the first round his body wasn't popping enough and you couldn't notice it; it was too fluid-like. His second round was great though. With Salah, he was popping noticeably in both rounds, which is what really made the difference in this battle. Sure he entertains, but that's all part of the battle. You have to win the crowd over the opponent with popping. Which he obviously did well.

[@deskclerk]

dang, salah was killin this shit

[@A1rPun]

and hard!

[@chaotix6]

for got i think its one way -pop what you got

[@Oddish08]

hahhhhaa i noticed that to.. no idea :S

[@Auron710]

well heres some news for u, if you watch a video of any1 well known, ur gonna find their fans watch it too.

[@spritedblue]

@PoppinJazzY hell yeah jazzy.

[@Hardnick]

FYI: theres 1 c in Guchon ^^

[@birh]

Gucchon has sick in the first round and the beginning of second round but after that it was weakkkk. Hes gotta end big, that woulda turned the judges for sure. Like Salah always ends BIG! thats what was the difference in my opinion.

[@zoeliac]

Would love to see Salah actually popping for once... all tricks and showmanship, god it gets old always the same shit.

[@Swingape812]

I think there is a little misunderstanding between us, I was said"battle is basically do something your competitor can't " that means I m not trying to do something my competitor does, I m doing something my competitor CAN'T, or don't know how to do it. that match Salah won, doesn't mean he is the greatest dancer of all time, it just a match, if we don't like the result, maybe we should cancel all games, boty, JD, and take it back to the subway, street corner, or club,peace

[@spritedblue]

salah here compared to now?? the technicality i can say he improved for past 4 years but gucchon?? he improved hell alot.. if they battled right now? ohh.

[@berryberry1134]

ok all u haters sayin gucchon is "like a baloon filled with water" and "has no flow" 1 i would like to see you get anywhere near that level of dancing and 2 saying he moves randomly like a water balloon is like saying graphite is more valuable than dimonds and 3 both salah and gucchon are 2 of the worlds best dancers, salah has the extreme creativity and uniqueness on his side, gucchon has technique and flow into his style and both are extremely formitible and hard to judge i tink salah wins tho

[@serkot]

Gucchon changed his style to express, not to impress. Isnt it most important thing? B4 he was all EB,same feel and rolls. After that he changed his style to be truly himself.. U know, like Elsewhere, Skywalker,Tetris,Acky..

[@Shiningject]

DOPE much respect to both! but personally i felt that gucchon should have won...

[@poppindavid]

man im tired of people saying that Salah is good. yo. dig it. yeah he's good, but he does the same moves every god damn time.! it pissses me off that newbies new to popping think that salah is ACTUALLY popping in a POPPING BATTLE. he does tricks kiddies, not popping. get it right and your facts. salah is a circus clown and thats it. tell him to just go entertain people in the circus instead of being in a proffesional popping battle... gucchon was outrageous. pretty nice boogaloo and on beat. :)

[@waltz4zizi]

I think in the future people will tire of salah's tricks and when all you got is skill.. id rather be guchon man =/ his popping is sick as hell

[@ricerice566]

Like @azntaiwan said, Salah wins in any battle. Kinda like learning to walk before learning to run, you gotta learn to dance before you can pop. Otherwise it risks looking too mechanical, or you forget to win over the audience
