I always like seeing singer's react to beatboxing, because they've been exploring so many interesting sounds with the human voice. Have you seen Stitch's GBB21 wildcard "Feels Like Nothing" yet? I like to nerd out on extended vocal techniques, and he does some singing stuff I haven't heard anywhere else.

[@MuzakkiEa25]

Man that's so detail😂

[@scottmccrea371]

that moment when D-low busts out his inwards bass and his head snaps round lol

[@claymorevideo]

actually, inward bass from d-low makes use of the epiglottis, more than false folds. It's nearly impossible to activate false folds inward, due to their position in the throat, but you could use the oscillation from the epiglottis to vibrate the suprahyoid muscles, apply tension and maybe involve the uvula too. what also contributes to d-lows specific tone is the low position of the larynx when he's using inward bass

[@echospace7347]

Dude what you just said sounds so cool but I don’t speak that much science 😭😭

[@echospace7347]

With the epiglottis does everyone use that for inward bass?

[@claymorevideo]

@@echospace7347 Everyone says that Inward bass is just chest bass inwards. Chest bass is using the epiglotiss, therefore almost all inward bass variants use it as the base sound.

[@ashart8450]

Idk tf u talking about u just breath inward like a grandma and give it a nice pitch to get that sound 😂

Since you are an opera singer check out one of MB14’s loopstation showcases. he does opera in his beatbox routines

[@jvxnyy]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/b6LCfp9rmM-ph68 here is a link to one of his showcases

[@ryansmallwood1178]

MB14 is one of my favorite beatboxers, but I'm not sure if his "opera" singing would measure up to actual opera performances. He does amazing things with his voice and is one of the best beat-boxer singers, but actual opera singers are hyper-specialized and there's no comparison, even though they couldn't do most of the things MB14 does either.

[@jvxnyy]

@@ryansmallwood1178 yeah im not saying he’s the best opera singer but i’d like to see his reaction to MB14 doing it in his routines

[@samismos6892]

Your commentary is so on point, I really hope you check out more beatbox videos, if you want to get on the recent ones the GBB21 (biggest beatbox event worldwide) videos have dropped, you can react to some of the solo battles! Zekka vs Colaps as well as King Inertia vs Helium are my favorites!

[@TerryTags]

As a choir director myself, your reaction from 8:55 to 9:10 is what made me subscribe to your channel, because I'm right there with you, bro. "Um. ... What? Can you repeat that?" I fell out of my chair laughing at that reaction, because YES, EXACTLY. lmao

[@sakamoto69]

React to KING INERTIA VS HELIUM GBB 2021

[@nova-6919]

Dlow has a judge showcase that is 20ish minutes long with parts cut out. He beatbox for 30 minutes on stave at GBB 2021. Check out his showcase and his evolution of beatbox. You will see an evolution of DLow and beatbox over yhe years if you do. He has been doing this for 15 years or so, I think more, and his showcase is a staple

[@LesageSinging]

It's interesting because I have been watching the GBB and following the scene for some time. D-Low went from being on the tails of napom and those OG folks when he was super young. The thing that I think has developed the most is his musicianship. He used to slip in and out of time and now he's a human metronome. Crazy progress in just a few years.

[@nova-6919]

@@LesageSinging definitely insane how he's evolved, especially these last few years you saw the change and growth increase tenfold. It's just insane to see all of this come together.

[@thepoofster2251]

The very low "this is the circle of death" done by d low was Inward Bass. You are correct about the usage of the false folds although there is debate over if it is JUST the false folds or both. You can kind of think it as throat bass done inward, depending on the tension you can get an octave or two down from the pitch of a throat bass. Also, the opening sound used by d low in the first round is outward. Not sure exactly what it is but my guess is tongue roll will a uvular trill pitched either to an octave or fifth. Although, it should be said, I'm not sure as I cannot do that sound and it is rather rare in the community ATM. If you do have any questions feel free to ask and I have a video breaking down some sounds for non beatboxers on my channel. It may help

[@DuckosXc-Tf]

Also bc it's inward there's rlly no limit on how low you can get

[@Sng4]

The tongue bass/roll he did there was with a h-sound, his voice and an u or o shaped mouth. If you listen, the first tongue bass/roll doesn't sound the same as the second roll.

[@ARCANODESINE]

you're right in your 3rd paragraph

[@hasdaboss]

its chest bass inwards not throat bass they use different parts of the throat so it isnt the false folds someone else explains in the comments so go find that comment it should be at the top

[@thepoofster2251]

@@hasdaboss if it is chest bass inward, then holy shit. That sounds so uncomfortable! Not questioning your knowledge but just curious, have you got the sound?

[@thepoofster2251]

D low won btw

[@YuSoKaTV]

D-low beatbox is so amazing. Complex, creative, personal and stylish. I love how he prepared everything for battle. In part 2 he changed his position, take the mic or get closer. You can probably think he's improvising but all he's doing is perfectly calculated.

[@pathxofxrepeat6102]

Actually, I think opera & bbx have something in common; training. Much like how some athletes take ballet to improve their performance, I think the same could be applied to bbxrs & opera. Even interchangeable between the genres.

[@22_Ag47]

Mb14 is a great example of this 🙌🏾

[@conrod5874]

Amazing reaction, it’s always good to have insight from people like you who are an expert in another subject. One thing I recommend is the BBU wildcards, they have a lot more production put into them and are very pleasant to watch and listen to. The first one I would recommend is Hiss Dream Again BBU Wildcard.

[@drumick67]

[@S3PT1M1]

thing i like most about this battle in particular is how they respond too each other, both in their respect of each other and how they implement elements of the other guys round into their set. if you havent yet you should watch this years battle between King Inertia and Helium. absolutely nuts

[@ant0ngu]

0:50 he is rolling his tongue outwards while singung and doing like a forward's vocal trumpet 8:55 that's inward bass, its like doing chest bass but while breathing in, the one dlow does is like a variation that sounds even lower

9:15 super late but its actually an inward sound caused by the vibration of the epiglottis

[@LesageSinging]

That was something I actually brought to a scientist who I interviewed. He hasn't found anything conclusive in his research. He uses MRI video footage from beatboxers. His research is ongoing, but when asked about inward bass, he said there was nothing conclusive. However, it may well be true and the imagery seems to help people find it. Here is the interview. I apologize. I don't remember when we actually discussed inward bass. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d6DCpoV9g86WZ9E

[@ajesco]

I LOVE when people from classical backgrounds get their hands on professional/competitive beatboxing. So much is going on in beatboxing that they just aren't aware of. If you think about a school of thought that has been writing and researching and teaching for the oldest instrument known to man (The human voice) for literally thousands of years, you'd think that they'd know just about all there is to know about the human voice and mouth. But nah. It's still so surprising. And these guys are literally discovering new things every month, like you said. 8:55 is my favorite moment and sums up things pretty well.

[@indus3270]

What always stumps me about D-Low is the way he sticks to his internal metronome and his innate ability to take any melody and turn it into an insane groove, like he does with the theme Zekka offered, turning it into a massive liquid drumnbass tune. It angers me in the best way possible! LOL

[@soban5488]

bruuuh....I mean ik I guess you just started reacting to beatbox stuff? and in depth? trynna understand what they're actually doing...and you watch D low at this stage XD XD he's one of the best in the community....you gotta check out a whole lot of legendary battles out there including GBB 2019's solo battles(all of them!)...and some old ones...such as beatbox house vs berywam....and my man wait till you get to the loopstation....you're not going to regret that! suggestions: nme vs brez...nme vs inkie....nme vs rythmind...rythmind vs balance....rythmind vs soso...these are from gbb 2019...and then the one of the best one in bbx history...Mb14 vs Saro(check this one out after watching the ones I mentioned earlier...saro is the loop god and is undefeated!
