When people talk about how quickly Dilip transitions in and out of beats and themes, i always like to explain that i dont think of his style as a "track". It feels more like a raw and authentic freestyle as opposed to a pre-rehearsed set (though I'm sure it's rehearsed just as much). I like the audio aesthetic and atmosphere it makes. Like going to a live concert where a guitarist has a solo, then the drummer has a solo, then the pianist/keyboard player, etc. it just FEELS more raw and authentic... I like it. Even though it's not necessarily "a song", I'd still listen to it, as is, for what it is. What is it? His phat flavors

Totally understand your point! It's also probably not a bad thing from a battling perspective. For me personally, having a great beat, that makes the crowd move and changing that again as quick as he sometimes does, feels like wasted potential. But that's more from a musicality kind of view.

@@diehl_with_it Unfortunately, it is bad from a battling perspective based on SBX's score cards. Structure is why he didn't make the cut in the GBB '19 (maybe '20? It's been a few years) Wildcards when everyone was rooting for him. Him not making the cut that year DID spark enough controversy that SBX has updated their scoring criteria specially because of the controversy they had judging Dilip, but it doesn't completely balance. The judges' individual interpretations of the atmosphere has to be "the intent is to have an authentic sounding, raw performance", thus making it a clear "theme". If their interpretation isn't exactly that, it's usually marked down. Even still, the judges that are fans of his style (like DLow), don't exactly view it that way (though their subjective interpretation is skewed by it). To sum, officially judging Dilip is skewed to be more subjective than the other beatboxers where others have a definitive x% marks for subjective analysis and y% marks for objective analysis. This skew towards subjectiveness can work against him, especially from more "traditional" beatbox judges
