Jabbawockeez at the Monsters of Hip Hop Show 2008 LA

Jabbawockeez perform "The Stranger: A Word From the Wise" at the Monsters of Hip Hop Show LA 2008 at the El Portal Theatre in NOHO on 8/15/08. The performance was a dedication to a member of their crew, the late Gary Kendell.

[@FreedomElliott]

2017 and still amazed by the flow of their moves...

[@quietlywandering]

This is so awesome, I love watching this. I love how, even with the tribute to Gary, they never stray from the art of dancing. Instead, the USE dance to honor him. They are just fantastic.

[@awesomemovieclips735]

Oh man..Found it again after a decade 2.6.2020....This is one of their best routines.. Been a fan since '08... N will be forever... The GOAT of dance crews!!! Peace✌✌✌✌

[@zamardii12]

That Diana Ross remix was amazing at the end. Love these guys. Great performance and a great dedication to their fallen member.

[@galexro]

This never gets old.

[@alleyezonme6671]

Agree

[@rebeldroid5926]

I'm rewatching this video after decade wow I found it and I'm thrilled just like I was then it was my first jabawockeez video ever💓

[@_qub3]

Still watching in 2016 I don't know to dance still, I love this video. There is something about it that I am still watching it after 5 years

[@Fall151]

+Aaqib Khan same here

[@ManagerMia]

Still fresh......Classic routine.

[@kritozone2172]

Wow good ol days..my childhood was awesome because of you guys!!!! #memoriesliveforever

[@viperslayer4273]

Been a few years since I've seen this video. Still one of the best routines they've done. IMMHO, they should do that tribute at the end of all their shows.

[@malulino9303]

yeah i missed this side of them..

[@concepcionmariacurtis2564]

2018 now but I must admit that the jabbas are still and forever will be the greatest dance crew ever in history of dance!

[@cherry88]

Phi's solo during "missing you" is unreal, his movement is different from the other guys, it's like he's moving in slow motion, but not, because he still hits every beat. I don't know how to describe it, it's like he's moving in water or something. It's so hypnotizing.

[@amandaweaver4268]

cherry88 I see exactly what you mean!

[@Rigo2Peru]

thats so respectful that they give a tribute to their mentor Gary may he rest in peace

[@TopD0g55]

dope!!! phi has da best footwork imo

[@denaishumblyblessed8160]

Watching in 2017...awesome performance and Phi killed it with the "Missing You" song, the tribute was really great! Love Jabbas!

[@gabriellecordero7862]

still superb after 2 decades

[@chris71piooo]

The first two songs are "Noize" and "The Jabba Rock", both by The Bangerz, for anyone who wants to know.

[@mrfaceoff23]

The second song is Jabba Ngo

[@vinNAYSH]

6 minutes and 8 seconds of my life well spent hehehe..

[@张楠-i9s]

It's beautiful.

[@johnaaaaaay]

In my opinion I think this was there best choreographed performance yet

[@dfdfdfsddf3996]

[@malthewow]

[@mojokilla9348]

Damn this is still my fav. Whos still here 2022? ❤️

[@JabbaMooney]

Phi's solo is one of the best solo's i have ever seen :O Jabba's rule!! also loved how rainin's headspin at 3:00 was perfectly in sync with the music XD R.I.P. GARY

[@Blackrein2009]

This was a good video! Jabbawockeez are still amazing. Really glad there wasn't a whole lot of screaming in the video too :D

[@utbr01]

Their performances are mesmerizing...they absolutely deserved to win ABDC! greaat group!

[@chuck.tulga1991]

Still watching in 2018!!! About 10 yrs ago... AWESOME, LOVELY, MEMORIES ...

[@bxlazyboy155]

Gary was the 7th member of the Jabbawockeez,he died December 14, 2007 of pneumonia and meningitis,before the jabbawockeez competed in the first season of Americas Best Dance Crew

[@youngtevanced8818]

2022 and I'm still amazed. I can feel Phi's @4:24 his moves really coming from the heart, Phi killed the last part.

[@martingeesas6990]

2024 still come back here

[@mexicanbboy1993]

[@ProfessX]

phi's solo starting at 4:30 was the best part of the performance, that move he did at 4:42 was so sick

[@muttleyap]

[@bxlazyboy155]

[@marcquisjameerrogers8753]

TUPAC DID THAT

[@Pottsy194]

Watched this again for the first time in 2 years. And it took my breath away. This performance is Jabbawockeez at their finest, it is pure artistry.

[@MusicalProf]

This is their most beautiful performance ever. Their love for Gary is beautiful. it brings tears to my eyes. I love it.

[@Tristan8]

Absolutely beautiful. Especially Phi's solo at the end.

[@amandaweaver4268]

I guess the fact that that tribute still touches people almost ten years later really says something about how talented the Jabbawockeez are! Wow very touching!

[@yktmfv]

i know they gave a lot of respect to him. Gotta love the JabbaWockeeZ ^^

[@rudanC]

which it isnt', cuz the guy really did die :/

[@rudanC]

pshshh, the jabba's aren't like that....

[@Kdel086]

[@saintmora]

[@phumo]

when ? which part is phi?

[@REVOUNLTD]

2:24, what song is it?

[@jennieapplehead]

I still can’t get over Phi’s freestyle of “missing you” i know it was him bc it’s their tribute to Gary, Phi was closest to Gary🥹😔

[@IrinaAngel-nr3mn]

Класс семпотяшки вы а музыка классная и танцуете супер . ИРА Одесса город

[@elecgahn]

ive realized what makes the wockeez so great. if youo ever compare crew's roouotines you find that the other crews have more compicated mooves and more intricate ruotines, that is their downfall, the jabbaz routine make it so that each part is easy to folow so we appreciate the whole thing and aren't disctracted by another part on the the stage. another is the marionette effect, that we look at the whole gruop and not just one individual.clean executioon of a cean routine realy marks the spot

[@WxShAoRaNxW]

i jsut saw them here a while ago hahahaha they are in trinoma ayala mall :) they are so damn great all people are actually pushing just to see them dance wild!! some are in the top of the table and some are going up to the scalator just to see the amphitheater all of their cams are being brought out and videoing like crazy!! wahahhahaha its so great and i hate it cause people are pushing me!!

[@rarrbear]

pretty sure that solo was phil. he does kneel, but it's not the same move that phi likes to do. when phi kneels, he adds a smooth spin to it. in this one, phil only does a step. also, phil has better body control and can hit beats cleaner than phi (chest pumps, too). also, after his solo and he moves over the the left side of the group, he's clearly shorter than everyone else. kevin is actually pretty short himself which is why you don't see a big height discrepancy btwn the 2.

[@88yoh]

so love the jabbas. who do u think dd that solo at 4:31? is it Phi? or Phil? if u check the move @ 4:56-57, its the same kneeling move at the step up 2 dance @ the 2:54-2:55 & i think that was Phi. & if u watch closely, Phi is @ the same height as kev when they meet here at 4:27 (Phil I think is the smallest among the jabbas, while kev & phi are 1 of the tallest)... but.. those chest pumps.. its more kind of Phil... i really dunno.. if any1 knows the lineup at this dance.. tell me!

[@janettagupa]

From beginning to end, they had the sickest choreo and musicality! They are the best for a reason.

[@Jammydodger38]

People see the jabbawockeez differently, like some people think sk8bording looks awsome some people think blading looks awsome, these guys may not brake dance too much but there really good body poppers :D , when they first made the group they did actually do alot of break dancing but they tend to focus on the sound of the songs they dance too

[@BoubkerC]

Oh Come on... JBWKZ Dont care how much you look at them... there still amazing... What about the other guys from ABDC... if you watch it like 4 times then its ok..... its over... but JWBKZ never get bored with it... I hope they come to Holland... if they do... il just take VIP places and come to them...

[@slick2flick]

Hmm... U knw jess3a3 u could've been mature and sensible..dont understand why you would add a racial remark to that comment. Jabbawockeez made a name of themselves...and to be honest... I never heared of diversity till about a month ago....where as I've heared of jabbawockeez for a long time now..... and no need for the racism...makes u sound really low.

[@lKokaKola]

it kinda bothers me when people say "FILIPINOS RULE" whenever they see the jabbawockeez. the truth is they aren't all filipino; i actually think that only half, if not fewer, of them are filipino. kevin brewer and gary kendall (RIP) are black. phi is vietnamese. ben is korean. i'm pretty sure eddie is latino.

[@hottie1248]

There routine wasn't really that good...It was AWESOME!!! I cant believe ppl can dance that well =)!!! That routine kept me so entertained!! They seriously are one of the best crew i've seen, not the best but definate in my top 5!! I wish one of the members of the crew can teach me some steps, forreal that was soo good!!

[@psychoticsolja]

song names... starting from beginning fingerbangerz - noize fingerbangerz - jabba ngo (at 2:03) 2Pac - letter to my unborn child (at 2:24) diana ross - missing you(at 4:22) special note on the last song... if u dl the original song, it's different. the one they use on this video is a special mix made by... i think, fingerbangerz.

[@BBoyPure]

yea i mean in terms of popping and roboting(not sure if its the right word) and working together, JabbaWockeeZ haf that pretty much covered lols. Expression's marionette is nothing compared to Jabba's artistic work. Yeah Expression's is artistic, but they never stray too much from their bboying. Jabbawockeez and Expression, never compare them again.

[@HikeFishRepeat]

There is nothing to discus or talk about, Jabbawockeez are the best dance crew in the world. Man can you believe how complicated we humans really are!?...I mean, my dog can sit still and stare for hours on robots from Japan showing up on my TV. Thats just what I am doing when I am seeing Jabbawockeez. Sitting here and stareing for hours on some freaki'n good dancers for hours xD

[@xplosyv]

i already knew the names but you can also find them on the other posting of this video...the first one is "2Pac - Letter 2 M Unborn Child"...the second one is Diana Ross "missing you" but of course they have been remixed hope i helped...i have often wondered about songs jabba has danced to and luckily folks post up the songs so i can find them...be easy

[@chr0nix123]

well of course he comes back in, its just u cant really pinpoint exactly where, *well thats for me since he doesn't really do any b-boy after that and sticks with the choreography, It is definetly hard to spot rainen when he's in the choreo, but that just shows how versatile he is .. with his poppin/ urban freestyle and with his b-boying.

[@DaBLiiO1]

Karamba Mo mancada isso =/ , eu já sabia q um dos integrantes tinha morrido, mas naum sabia porke .. bonito isso que eles fazem de homenagear Gary, o cara merece mesmo " Vlw de novo ai manow, AbraçO

[@TheAntimany]

real legend never dies. :) like this routine right here, it's timeless! JBWKZ, they're classic.

[@yendorification]

@arsh5306: jabbawockeez are NOT the best dance crew in the world. They might be one of the best showcase crews, but groups like the UKs pink mafia and Flawless; koreas monster woo family, and the Netherlands robot boys among thousands of other undiscovered dance groups rep hard

[@88yoh]

wel, if u read our early comments, (me and rarr).. we believe it's phil tayag. Phi is more fluid type of movement, while phil likes to pop and can hit beats exactly... actually, u can check other performances of jabbas and u can see each jaba has really a unique style...

[@88yoh]

woah.. thanks for the info dude.. thanks for the info dude... how about the solo in the automatic response show? the guy in the middle performing during the clubbed to death theme? at about the 4:55 mark? that's phi right? that knee move you're talking about?

[@rarrbear]

also, if you want to another shot of phi doing his spinning knee (sounds like a kung fu move, LOL) look up his solo from an older monsters of hip hop where a few of the jabbas performed w/out their masks. phi has always been more fluid in his moves compared to phil.
