[@UpliftJai]

Love that you could feel the rawness an ruggedness in Krump. Shows that you are a very open minded dancer. Much respect Brother

[@BassCustoms]

As a Krumper I thought this was going to be a trash video but you did very good not to many people understand this dance good shit

[@BassCustoms]

It has nothing to do Chez.. my comment was geared more to the person who made the video, since time and time again people with no knowledge of Krump put out trash videos about it

[@jwillthenupe]

Ppl like to pigeon hole tight eyez like hes not a dope af dancer outside of krump.... I've seen him come up from the Tommy the clown, krump v clown dancing days. Dude is raw af

[@daenerysstormborn5557]

I would love to see Tommy the clown group get on this level. They will kill any girl that step to them and that would be the babies

[@Arc.143]

Yup back when he danced with just clownin . Battlezone 1-4 days. I remember them like yesterday. Chez has ALWAYS been dope, even at clowning he was dope as fuck. I danced with pimped out clowns and would try to mimic his clownin when I was younger , lol.

[@montaygebar7192]

Correction Tight Eyex and Mijo created Krump

[@tb303wpf1]

Right after he gets the groove on the very first song, O......M......F........G......!!!!! Those lightning fast, precise, deadly accurate, diverse movements are one of his greatest strengths. It's as much his labs as it is just raw physical talent. He is one of a kind! And I agree, I think he's at his best when he's dancing to other styles of music. When he just lets go and the music controls him. Great video sir!

[@reginismuse]

Not to take any attention away from the GOAT cuz Chez is INSANE, but Tight Eyex is NOT the ONLY creator of Krump; Mijo tha Bull is the other half, words said from Tight Eyex himself and why the chemistry is untouchable between them. Mijo is considered the power side while Tight Eyex is the technical.

[@drethebard]

TRUE, IF YOU ARE GOING TO DO ONE ON ONE YOU HAVE TO DO THE OTHER!! Please, Mijo as a dancer is just as amazing a Eyez!!!

[@Arc.143]

reginismuse there was a whole team of us back in the day Krumpin before it was called Krump. When we were still in clown groups everyone in south central la was going hard like that. Eyez danced for tommy , mijo danced for Tommy’s other clown crew high class clowns. We all were apart of the evolution of Krump from clownin.

[@stephs8665]

Kanon vs Tight Eyez is still one of the best battles I've seen with Tight Eyez

[@tb303wpf1]

So excited for this one!!!! Thanks for doing this Robert. Great to see you back brother.

[@lavelleandrae27]

Shouldn’t creating a dance style win you a Nobel Peace Prize? 🤔

[@SlickRick4EVER]

Well, hell, then Poppin Pete/Boogaloo Sam, Don Campellock, and Robert Shields should have gotten them, first.

[@Mr_Azali]

True. Bare minimum...its a gift to the world.

Legendary tighteyez

[@llmrfantasticll]

Yup!

[@bootsbailey5857]

[@Wildcats9375]

One thing I noticed bout Tight Eyez..., EVERY BATTLE and I mean literally EVERY BATTLE somebody talks shits to him..,he automatically fucks over them. Thats not even a exaggeration.

[@noikfkzn5305]

I love when people say that TE is off beat, thats mean they dont understand dance and musicality at all. Lmfao

[@francescaa8331]

Your analysis is spot on. Always. He's not just a great battler...he is a creator. Also noticed the shoe wear at the BET experience. His footwork is a big part of his style and those red shoes show it off. I appreciate his forays into unusual rhythm interpretation, then back to the standard beat. It's artistically interesting, but also a way of cleansing the palate as you move through a set (I know you know what I mean).

[@numanity5673]

His everything bless him And thx for this video Tight Eyez in my heart

[@jero3933]

Tighteyez is absolute talent.

[@richieray04]

Chez in shape and on a big stage is GG... It's like fighting man... Years of training and competition will make you unbeatable.

[@joeynos7091]

Since we are all learning something here. What Toyin was dancing and the song were both Afro and not dancehall. Also she is a houser from what i know at least. Keep up the good work!

[@llmrfantasticll]

Well damn, thanks for the correction.

[@Sarjjofi5th]

yea, toyin was actually fusing her house with afrohouse.

[@Sarjjofi5th]

And i dont think the music is Actually afrohouse but afrofusion. Afrohouse is more from Angola and SouthAfrica, the track sounds West African. they can easily sound similar thou. like you said we are all learning here. am open for correction if any as well. It was great for you to bring up the point thou.

[@RokenMaarefa]

all my thoughts and words that i couldnt use to describe tight eyez i found them in this Video, it's a great video great analysis bro

[@llmrfantasticll]

Thanks much!

[@queue-02]

Personally, you should've shown Krump battles. That's when Eyez is most dangerous. Just to name a few, look up eyez vs miss prissy, Bullzeyez(Him & Mijo) vs Scripterz, or even the Mansanity krump tape. P.S. Tight Eyez has been undefeated in his craft for... at least 12 years.

[@72PSI]

Glad yer back bro.... I was starting to get withdrawal.... Awesome work as always... PEACE

[@shilohk38]

Thanks for such a great video. Keep up the great work!

[@AtomNic]

great video my man! yeah those videos of tight eyez and les twins from the dance fusion are insane!

[@ALEX.PGAMING]

Well on the first video that's like when I'm drunk I move the same :))))

[@jameshandley8252]

Tight Eyez killed everyone at that dance comp in chucks

[@RokenMaarefa]

mooore tight eyez please, the best ever

[@ChaceBank789]

Yeah that was an excellent set that you chose man. He snapped. I remember watching that battle for almost a whole day

[@llmrfantasticll]

👌

[@AuRevoirTune]

Tight Eyez vs Laurent was the battle of the decade. Imo it should've went another round. They both went nuclear the first round and then the second round I think Laurent won, but Tight Eyez did his thing too. I completely agree with your thoughts on Les Twins and the inspiration from kump. Les Twins and Tight Eyez are my top 3 dancers because they really know how to showcase all-style dancing. They take their main category and apply elements of other styles that make them unique from the other styles. When I say that I mean like how Laurent and Larry get buck and get into the raw emotion of krump, not actually doing krump moves.

[@Arc.143]

Eyez and mijo even brought out some clownin moves , with their clown walking . They never lost it 🔥🔥

[@grandmystyc8367]

1:54 I think everyone made that face 😂😂

[@zeekwurkin7854]

Respect that you have a open enough mind to understand that krump is definitely a talented aet form and not just flailing because it's too fast for u to keep up. But as a practitioner 19yrs, I assure you you will never find chez in his rawest form outside of a real krump music after his prime yrs.

[@agumamidivinaybhoomachired4932]

Tighteyex 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@_TankRid]

I mean think about it [even though you already probably know this] Tight Eyez has been in his element for 19 years coming up to 20 He's never lost a battle, he's lost rounds but never no battle Even though the one with Lilou was considered a loss by way of judges, the rules made in that event should have lost Lilou the battle after that pelvic thrust move But what make's Eyez great is yes, he's the creator of an urban dance style Not only did he create this style, he's stayed on top of this style No one in KRUMP has taken Eyez off his throne Who do we know that's been in their element since 2000 and never been taken out of it Someone who put out 9 DVDs and never lost a battle on any of them He kept the movement of KRUMP going even when people weren't hyping it Look at all the new waves in Hip Hop [even though KRUMP is not Hip Hop] that have come through These new waves make it big whilst KRUMP is being kept under the masses for some reason But Eyez still manages to keep KRUMP known Not only that, there are other's who help spread the movement also in many countries all over the world What separates Eyez from them [not to discredit any of them] is that Eyez created this, he's stayed on top regardless of the call-outs etc He only started taking breaks of some sort in 2015 as far as I'm aware [correct me if I'm wrong] Eyez is just a machine So many GREAT dancers out there, I personally know some but they have no footage or any of that out there P.S - This video is perfect, I can tell how unbiased you are, very open minded. I'll try to come here more often to support this channel.

[@Haddybou18]

Love you videos big up 🔥 Woukd love to see you talk about ruin he has some crazy technic 🙏🏻

[@llmrfantasticll]

Bro, episode 19 😉

[@vfxswagg1337]

Not only did he create the style alongside Mijo / Bullzeyex, he been on his game SINCE DAY 1 puttin' dudes in the dirt. Who else you know body their whole team? Everything there is to krump, he's been there. The day someone takes him from his throne is the day they get to run the game. Dude's no joke. That's why he got a mean ass team underneath him. Jaja Vankova / Lady Tight Eyex, Pharside / Skull Eyex (found of Academy of Villains shown in the last clip), Ruin, Beast / Baby Tight Eyex, etc. He still carryin' the whole game on his back through all the BS he gets, & he stay ready at any moment to go round after round after round. He's pushed an ugly, gritty, ghetto style into Hollywood & across the globe giving it character & mixing it with other styles & music. No matter what style you compete with or what music you play, when he steps in the battle, he has multiple characters to choose from & already has his plan. Confidence unshaken. He the type of dude that if you throw a rock at him, he'll hit you with a truck. How you get killed off that hard by a dude who originally trained in ballet? THAT'S WHAT MAKES HIM A LEGEND. Notice I didn't even mention his skill level or dance technique. "It don't matter if you understand krump. You understand a kill off when you see one."

[@Arc.143]

He can dance to dance hall because we use to clown dance to dance hall in LA back in the clown dancing days .

[@llmrfantasticll]

Pull up!

[@yagua0500]

Love this dancer.

[@ALEX.PGAMING]

So krump is a dance style ? Or some fighting style? :))))

[@186llewis]

I love both can't choose! I really wish I could learn to Krump!! Many don't know what Krump means, (Kingdom Radically United Uplifted Praise) Many don't know he's a Christian! If I went into the Spiritual meaning of dance may shock a few. But, that another deep story!

[@_TankRid]

Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise K R U M P That's what KRUMP means And Eyez speaks about how Christianity started losing it's grip on KRUMP as a whole He mentions in a video that KRUMP dancers started doing this for names, footage and views

[@tworkshairline1276]

To create your own style make you a god not a great! Your a great dancer because your good at someone else’s style! He is a god because he created a skeleton for the world to imitate his style💪💪

[@Seyo-wn4wu]

@Brandon Ezzard too many bro i dont know which ones you should see just watch tight eyez best moments or his battles the older one the last fusion thug concept i think 2016 all his rounds battle against canon or against a japanese guy at wdc or sth like that where nelson who has beef goes crazy as a judge he had so many battles like 1000 i have nothing to do with krump and doesnt even like every krumper but this guys is the thing he can battle everyone and can beat them when hes in his mood and know the songs plus hes getting older thats facts in his prime....

Your Les Twins's fans problem is that you are fanatic. This battle with Laurent and Larry showed me - under any videos of this battles reading some comments - that you are talking only about twins' movements and do not pay attention to eyez's great movements at all - as if they were not there - and you do it on purpose. You accuse the jury of bias, but what you do - what I wrote above - is the highest form of bias.

[@mrxx480]

This is only your opinion. I watch him from 2005 and he crushed every dancer in all styles battle. Watch more videos with him. He use at least 5 styles. His footwork is great, and he's the fastest dancer in history. Every dancer is scared to battle with him because they know his greatness. Only people on youtube who have their 'IDOLS' are too ignorant to admit this, but I get used to it. He's not that good? Man, what he's doing is unrepeatable. His speed, muscle control, footwork.
