I DONT GIVE AN F WHO WON, THIS WAS A CRAZY EXCHANGE! Get your heads out the competition y'all this is about the craft and culture not the contest! What I get from this is amazing dancers and inspiration! Peace!

[@Volumyn]

Ian VLNVA said the only thing in this entire comments thread that actually matters. There's a reason dancers usually hug it out after a battle, no matter how dirty it geta. Respect!

[@26danielpatrick]

word from Ph! hahahaha

[@twosixradg]

❤️❤️❤️

[@Gezuzu23]

They were both dope, Rashaad was just has such a beautiful recipe, he really be dancing and listening in such a different way, unpredictable.

[@NaiNai-bq2ec]

always fun seeing Rashaad at work. He and Ryan Webb are a great duo

[@MrX-nc8cm]

this battle was straight🔥🔥🔥

[@PolishPoppingBeats]

Rashaad's possibilites seem never ending. I mean his moves seem infinite sometimes. I would love to see him dance longer each set. And Brooke was so surprising alot of times, I give respect to both of them because of their skills. But I got to admit that Brooke made alot of progress. He put alot of work in these battles and in his practice. What I don't understand is why people talk about Brooke as if he won't be able to progress even further. I understand that Rashaads maturity in dance is to be highly appreciated and for me the way that Rashaad dance... that's something that makes me fall in love with the dance called popping once again, and again and again. But Brooke did his best, he will be able to do even more in the future. Yet all people have to say about Brooke is that he was... basic :P.

[@nicolasisaaccruz3570]

yea

[@amungreiss537]

these are some beautifull words thank u 💗

[@jadinowade]

Rashaad lives in the music. It's crazyyy. He stays there the whole time he's dancing. Your stank face gets stuck watching him! Brooke is dope too! But Rashaad is showing something else here.

[@raginiyadav5717]

Love this exchange,last song anyone!it was dope

[@r3tr0entertainment84]

Fam, can we not have all this conflict in the comment section. one of the aspects of dance is that it brings people together to indulge themselves in good vibes. let's not bring negativity to it.

[@sivan1342]

That track of Legend is def legendary 🔥🔥

[@ackJin]

2016년 "Summer Dance Forever"은 DJ가 절반은 했다고 본다. 음악이 너무 좋다..

[@JohnteDanceChannel]

Good Job Brooke & Rashaad

[@JadeZuberi]

Yeaaaah Rashaad took this! Brooke is one the cleanest poppers in the game, no doubt about that at all. DUDE is NICE, gotta give him that. BUT he is also very basic in his approach, lot of repetition of vibrated hits, same hit approaches. Predictable timing. Only thing Brooke really shines at is his BEAT CATCHING, reason why i didn't say musicality is because Shad, has musicality, advance rhythm plus beat catching. Shad is light yrs ahead of the majority of poppers in complexity within dance and funk new & old! Brooke can not dance on Shads level period, that is a VISUAL FACT. Only thing for me was Shads rounds was a bit short. BUT he still OWNED! Much respect g!

[@DanielGenalo]

yes yes yes and more yes ^^^ Jade

[@jaygoose1508]

shad is super dope.... but he lost.

[@malcolmspellman1298]

Agree. Brooke definitely knew how to work crowd with the obvious beat kills but Rashaad is totally original. And he does those big giant, full body concepts/movements. Rashaad let's it be only about the music. But looking at these comments, seems like Rashaad may have to throw in some blow ups and easy beat kills for these comps.

[@ebofuria]

I don't see wtf you talking about _light years ahead_ and other shit.. @ 4:31 Shad was off beat, and his pops are soft not that clean and refined like Brooke's. Brooke was clearly schooling the boy, my guess is that you just got into popping.

[@malcolmspellman1298]

Ha! Thank you for bringing me back to this clip. I didn't see the off-beat at your time mark. I still agree with Jade. Rashaad is doing the most difficult, and important thing ,with this dance: making it his own. Brooke is dope but he's just not taking the dance to a different place like Rashaad is. It's easier to appreciate Brooke's movements because you've seen similar shit before. Also, you should take a second to watch clips of Jade and Rashaad before you say "they just got into popping". They are two of the best in the game bar none and they are respected by all your favorite dancers.

[@1991Dawido]

Does someone know the first and last song? I am already looking for it for more than 2 years. Pease let me know

[@abhijeetsupan7760]

2nd song plzzzzz

[@DanielKeithMorrison]

both killed it, wouldn't say Rashaad got murdered. It was mulitple and well played techniques vs one technique that was used very very good. Could of honestly gone either way. S'why the judges had a split decision y'all. Also the cheer meter wasn't far off either.

[@nicolasisaaccruz3570]

Plisss Song !!!! Mints 6,00 ..

[@c3066521]

Did future enter this comp? I noticed him watching the house finals

[@Blink-fu8xd]

Last song, anyone?

[@denilsonserra400]

Alguém pra me dizer o nome da terceira música?

[@BigBiscuittt]

both were dope, but i can see why brooke took this one they were neck and neck, but rashaad was short in his rounds and not as clean as brooke with execution. i love the energy, but battles need execution to be on par with each other

[@Tuqueerhussain]

moment in funq, last song btw. Like this comment so ppl can see this if they are looking for it.

[@jeremiaholusola3285]

To the people who thought Rasheed won, Can you please define what popping is? , To the people who said Brooke had a lot of repetition can you please tell me what you popping warm starts with?? To the people who said Brooke winning this battle is embarrassing, Can you please remind yourself of the Pioneers popping Technic and Ask yourself if you see it Brooke' movement?? In my Opinion he and Hoan are ahead of most of the popper out there as because the are students who learnt from the pioneers

[@frexxdancer]

Pioneers ? If you look at most of the pioneers in popping as an inspiration to judge this Rashaad took it easily bro XD

[@jeremiaholusola3285]

Like I said ask yourself those questions above and I also said "In my Opinion". I said Brooke won from my knowledge of watching most of the pioneers... We all have different opinions bro

[@frexxdancer]

What pioneers? Boogaloo Sam and Poppin pete¿ There're more pioneers in the game, lot of them, not just in fresno.

[@weishwei]

question back to you, which pioneers are you looking at in your analysis? are you just looking at the EBs? because Rashaad is taking inspiration from pioneers from the Oakland/Bay Area (the Black Messengers, the Black Resurgents, Pop Tart, etc.), inspiration from pioneers around Europe (Damon Frost, Thomas FX, Steen, etc.), some L.A. cats, etc. and flipping it. None of those pioneers get down like Brooke or Hoan. There's so much more to popping than just hitting, and this is coming from a guy named Hitman hahaha. We say Rashaad is ahead of the game because he mixes so many styles, flavors, dances, rhythm changes, music expressions, etc. (there's so many layers), in addition to adding himself back into the equation and keeps it popping. At some point to get ahead you'll have to break free of what the pioneers are doing, otherwise you're actually behind and are just doing something that would be considered ahead of the game 40 years ago.

[@JadeZuberi]

Go watch Jazzy J. Do ur history of HOW Popping even took off homie. Then come back.

Brooke! Very cool style.

[@GullyFella]

yo rashad that dude.

[@streetdancetalk]

Rashaad a better dancer. Brooke a better battler in this one. Beatkills vs funky

[@prakram7145]

6:55 why do you lie ????

[@leonh7351]

Yo I love Brooke n Rashaad but whats with Brooke dressing like Jon Boogz? Like.. Even the hat.. Yo that was his swag years back. Just sayin..

[@JadeZuberi]

Jon Boogz....really. sighs.

[@gerboog]

naa.. rashaad ate him!

[@gutsberserker5476]

this was embarrassing. Rashaad took this clearly.

[@micheallouis4569]

Less twins/ Hoan have the same musicality as Brooke. Its easy for noobs and kids to understand. But Rashaad is dancing and grooving first.

[@zalamandr2510]

rashaad win

[@gallbladderx]

Lol, your're an idiot.

[@d15craxx]

How can you dance without being musical?

[@gutsberserker5476]

d15craxx you can try to be hoan or brooke . Learn or know a tune and then anticipate the corny bits. And the crowd would love it! Just thank me when your famous! :)

[@calebdavis381]

brooke won but i will say this. brooke had the advantage because every time rashaad time was up the beat would drop and switch up with gave brooke punchline moves going with the beat. they are both nice tho

[@warriorlight793]

Brooke out battled and out popped Rashaad. Sure Rashaad may be the better Dancer however this isn't a showcase it's a battle.

[@conco1994]

Rashaad got smoked!

[@ebofuria]

Brooke is just on another level, he's Vegeta and Rashad is Krillen. Not even fair
