Lil Rock vs Born | EXHIBITION | WORLD OF DANCE 2009

World of Dance 2010 is coming up this weekend in Pomona, CA so we thought we'd search through our footage and see if we missed posting anything from last year's event....Whoops. Enjoy.

[@roterbaron97]

Born destroyed him ;)

[@moisescalebe764]

Legendary Bboy Born! I love to Live to watch this guy

[@HiImRiot]

Born is like, the hypest stylehead ever dude. He does mostly style yet it's so explosive. That aspect about him is what is truly admirable.

[@loldierofldiekatz]

born smoked that fool!

[@emanuelmekhi2458]

I realize it's kinda off topic but do anybody know of a good place to watch newly released movies online?

[@iradenver5223]

@Emanuel Mekhi flixportal xD

[@emanuelmekhi2458]

@Ira Denver Thanks, I signed up and it seems to work =) I really appreciate it!!

[@iradenver5223]

@Emanuel Mekhi No problem :D

[@kunaiwithchain]

this a dope battle props to both

[@BBOYchillz]

Respect to both b-boys. They both danced their styles but gotta give this one to born for flow

[@killervivian94]

AWESOME~!

[@edwardjoe89]

Dope battle

[@downfromtheunderground]

@TheBboySpartan a westcoast legend and innovator of what a lot of bboys do today especiallyy freezes hes been around as long as ruen and frankie flav from what i know

[@alvinito]

@akatsu24 Thank you for saying what you're said. I feel like as dancing reaches a wider audience, more people want it to become all happy sappy so that the intensity of the dance doesn't make them feel bad. This is the culture, and to weaken it by making it more accessible would tear away the passion people have for this dance. You can see it in this battle, when Lil Rock started harassing Born a lil bit, Lil Rock started crashing and Born got to Lil Rock's head through that heat.

[@wozie]

@CraftyChou tnks man

[@bboysaintKFCrew]

Last round..... Last round......

[@throwmeaname]

Lil Rock: "yo check out this power set" 2:05 Born: "that's it???" 2:22 Although no words were ever spoken, a battle must ALWAYS be a conversation between two people. Also: 3:52 BUUUUUUUUUUURN haha

[@bboyStuntZ]

I never seen Lil Rock crash so hard and so much.

[@bboyteknique]

Haha "Get that bottle out of here this is a bboy battle son" Awesome battle

[@ddoouuaa]

12 years ago and im back! Man... I still think that if I was battling Born, and he laughed and smacked the ground as hard as he did after lil rock crashed... I probably would just go home after that. hahaha

[@kingkarimi3409]

Wow

[@starskreem09]

@JWPnim yeah but its a battle bro. ppl have diffrent battle attitudes

[@MackGully]

Lil rock, learn how to recover from crashes..

[@pleasepaul]

lol this wasnt posted up late (sarcasm) this was a dope battle

[@bboykiddblack]

born is the man

[@harvorites]

@KiNgOfNiGgA Yeah I think he is wearing green sweater or something

[@paulschina]

i was expecting more

[@toollee9129]

FIRE ALWAYS BUUUURNNNSS ""rock"" Hekhekhek! :D :D :D !!!

[@asan28103]

@MrBarizo lol true

[@uknohu]

Wow this is pretty old. I sat right behind your camera from the first angle.

[@StarMaker_7]

ahhha lilrock got ROCKED

[@russellcheng2378]

your profile photo is a micro representation of coldwar pains

[@nikeballin]

yeyeyeye Born!

[@kisame456]

5:13 From the look on his face, he knew he got smoked.

[@downfromtheunderground]

@TheBboySpartan you may not like him but he is in a lot of peoples books, he is in killafornia for a reason like other westcoast pioneer legends like crumbs ruen and machine if you know your history you would know this,way before youtube and even born :)

[@akatsu24]

@darkapaul, HA respect? u gotta earn respect through battle, in the middle of the battle all respect is lost, no rules except for no touching, a battle IS a fight, it IS war, respect is earned

[@wozie]

good battle! btw does anyone know the name of the nikes born is rocking plz?

[@reezyrocks12]

that mc is the dopest i swear.i hear him in some battles.who is he?

[@Erickson127]

Is Born wearing an MZK pendant? (Like the one Taisuke wore during Red Bull BC One 2007 I believe)

[@rawnessskateboardtv]

lil rock His top rock is baby.

[@EnigmaticElement]

@petervsays What's a webster ? The limit is a very fine line. That line is determined by how far you go, and your intention. A hat is a hat, a lot of bboys have a million of them. Nothing to fight about. They're used to many battle personas so, they shrug most things off. Like I said a lot of bboys expect that behavior, and are quick to dish it back. Fighting over such trivial matters often just shows inexperience/hot headedness.

[@kidzwithgunzFlavaKid]

5:13 that's the face of someone who knows he just got smoked by born

[@losing3accounts]

2:49 Jalen hands Born his hand back, good kid.

[@surfboogie7077]

"Put your hands together or you suck!" 🤣

[@naimbououchma]

everytime I hear this I lmfao

[@Maizoku]

rofl @ that flip, bl lil rock even with all that attitude

[@losing3accounts]

2:49 Jalen hands Born;s hat back, good kid.

[@sasaugebun]

Lil rock got smoked.

[@marcusnunez8763]

Hey everyone just found out that bboy Poe one made lil rock take the fall for what reason I don't know.

[@EnigmaticElement]

@theoreticallyrad It's a battle. Key Word : BATTLE. You ever hear the phrase "battle ready" ? It means being ready for anything. This is no different. Bboys will trash talk you, laugh, step in your territory, and take your stuff all in an attempt to throw you off your game, and clown you. Lil Rock has been around for ages, he began his career in an era which this was common place. Still is a lot of the time. Don't take it at face value.

[@DayAtRots]

Someone got OWNED

[@jony0544]

Lol i swear born looks like a mix of jackie chan and my dad in the 90's, he dope as hell though

[@akatsu24]

@darkapaul, and as for the hat, yes u can, its a battle, taking the hat is attitude, its part of the game, deal with it

[@xxnerdliciousxx]

Born. period

[@chignonn]

@juanboogie nah it was originally born vs lil bob cept lil bob couldnt make it. lilrock was his replacement

[@TengMoua913]

@BboyBenjiiFuturEst JustDoIt vs Flying Buddha @ Unbreakable 2010 The Mc says it in the beginning

[@CrazzzyGood]

3:30 Ouch!

[@BBOYSOKU]

lil rock got served.

[@Ciecle]

@mkim64 I'd love to see you tell him that to his face..he'd knock you out

[@MordieSG]

@theoreticallyrad lol just watched the vid NEVERMIND.

[@TengMoua913]

@BboyBenjiiFuturEst ahah its all good

[@ZennyReacts]

3:28 Karma

[@akatsu24]

@darkapaul, lol well ty for saying that, attitude is a key ingredient. But thats the thing, the point IS to get you mad, dont you see? taking someones hat shows ur clowning them, and gets them mad, it either makes the battle more heated, or they mess up more. Back in the day, bboys used to tear each others shirts off each other, to taking a hat is nothing. and people can talk all they want, but i guarantee u lil rock knows more about respect than they do, a battle is war, its a fight, show it.

[@BballerFrank]

one word , BORNNN!!!!

[@pleasepaul]

@TheBboyultimate tell me that after youve seen him in real life okay?

[@khmerxbxboi]

tricks vs freestyle = never thought Korea won't pull a set

[@starskreem09]

@JWPnim but was it neccesry to comment sayin shit you should be giving respect to both sides ,both have big bckrounds and knoledge behind them

[@nelsonta00]

Why do so many bboys focus so much on chaining power moves? It looks nice but sometimes they cross the line between dancing and gymnastic.

[@Enforcer901]

Their power, their flavor.

[@omegaweapon116]

As long as it follows the music. When the music is ignored, it turns into gymnastics for me.

[@chrisnguyen5922]

because it's difficult and it's masculine/competitive to pursue a challenge? trying to cross the line is what hip hop is about. you define it, no one else matters when you're dancing.

[@hockeyboi2468]

3:29 i know that had to hurt lmao

[@mylessmith5865]

yo send another one to the burned victims unit cuz born smoked lil rock and is it me or did he battle like a chump "don't touch me" when he was in the way then took his hat 2 seconds after he said that

[@BboyRezist]

@guardiantony31 AHAHA. you right you right!!!

[@jerzybboy]

born owned it easily, he show mad bboy flava in this battle!

[@LawkSam]

Damn.. 3:28.. that must've hurt like hell!

[@AmAzn101]

@SoulHeadProduction ahahaha that's hilarious, kinda disrespectful tho but funny lol

[@100soul100]

bboy born kileeeeedddddddddd !!

[@ChazSupreme]

@kkkumar Barry White - You Gotta Case

[@MordieSG]

@theoreticallyrad Lol really what about him actually?

[@TheGraffiteGhost]

Born was humble enough to drag him into only one extra round...

[@juliusJokersapico]

steelo the MC?

[@ANDJedi]

what's the song at 3:57?

[@BboyMarveI]

dam that corkscrew crash fuked lil rock up i bet dam aahhaha

[@ricardogomes8301]

Born smoke this

[@ILuvRofl]

Whats the second beat yo?

[@MrJohnnyYang]

Lil Rock "might've" had a chance of winning if his set was longer and if he didn't crash and if he was as good as Born.

[@FootmenVsGrunts]

but the thing is that its an exhibition.

[@mnikss03]

Haha Born looks like a OG Gangsta from Cali

[@TheGraffiteGhost]

@BboyRezist and you respect everyone regardless, otherwise you're no better than a hater...

[@MrBarizo]

Some of you guys really need to start watching battles when you're off of Born's nuts.

[@iushice]

Wait how is born better?

[@harvorites]

Born looks like a G!

[@TheGraffiteGhost]

@BboyRezist if u act cocky, when u get owned u gotta act humble afterwards. sign of respect to the other guy

[@petervsays]

@EnigmaticElement im pretty sure if i was to battle you and take your hat and throw it on the ground and do a webster on it. you'd probably want to fight me. theres a limit to how much a "battle swagger" goes.

[@akatsu24]

@rockystars12, that was too far

[@iushice]

How is born better

[@bboyshogun14]

lil rob got no respect and he got still got smoked

[@TheBboySpartan]

@trickeynoncrew lol bro. it's my opnion. no need to tell me history.

[@KiNG1RiNO]

BORN

[@TheGraffiteGhost]

Mzk rivers floor gangz. Even tho the guy lost at least he can say he stood up against Born. I'd be honored to go up against someone who many have in high regards, especially an mzk. Respect to both, but Ima have to give it to Born. Cleanliness and musicality overrule power in my book. And that crash had to have hurt...

[@Icon_Ruud_Gullit_The_Moment]

bboy vs circus

[@iohue]

chill guys, we all know the floor smoked lil rock this round hahahaha

[@oscwildle1]

Sure rock would smoke me, but imagine if I, a nobody battled rock and acted like every one of his sets was complete shit. People would think I was on crack..... That's what watching lil roc battles is like. Lots of acting, not a lot of breaking. He is out there battling though, reppin. Props for that

[@TheJame1025]

Born is better because he has battled internationally, has experience in all aspects, power, foundation, rocking, musicality. Lil Rock is good, been breaking a long ass time, but his style has barely changed over the course of like 15 years. He cant leave America, his style is stagnant. He's big in LA, if at all, that's about it. Born is recognized worldwide repping Rivers, MZK, Flava Squad, Floor Gangz, ya dig?

[@dorjedriftwood2731]

TheJame1025 sorry but there were plenty of United States only bboy’s that could have smoked born, ground zero, skillz method, OSA, Circle of Fire, etc etc. born just repeated the same clean moves and clowned roc when he got upset. Roc lost to smooth footwork and a better attitude. Besides rock leans on his headstands to steal the set but he was to upset to hold anything.

[@stevenclarkesaijin]

Interesting battle, I've seen them both do better Born is always on point and lil rock has always been "cocky" but he still has some dope tricks or sets. Battling isn't about holding hands and playing kum-bi-ya but there is sort of line that you don't cross. No touching if so then you got no control if it happens by accident then it happens. If you go out of your way to touch someones gear then your losing your focus. Born rinsed lil rock that crash killed is vibe, Born has to much confidence..

[@reezyrocks12]

maybe in flips and power moves.but in overall bboyin(toprock,footwork,power freezes)most bboys would take him.like born ,dizzy luigi,ronnie(if you saw the one with ronnie,the crowd just cheered him because of his freezes and the people just felt like being hype.)maybe even some amateurs or intermediates could take him.no disrepect though.we all have our opinions

[@xdbuix]

@THEDANCEBAND lol borns footwork is not weak. i think the better explanation is that it was a bad match up. 1 guy focusing on the footwork and the other on the power, but if it was a real battle lil rock did crash so eh i am learning towards born. he crashed harddddddd

[@BrisBboy]

to all the people hating on lil rock, i bet he would smoke all of you in a battle. I agree, he is a little cocky but that's how he expresses his style! Though he did shut up after the massive crash :P
