honestly this battle was so close, it really came to preference i bet for the judges. Idk maybe not, im not a pro beatbox judge. But it seems that everyone has their preference on what matters in a battle in the comments and community so it makes sense. I personally would go for Napom here but i totally see why River one. I like to think of it like this tho, if it was the Kickback battle format they did a few years back then I think River would've gotten it easy. But in person battle I think Napom was honestly controlling the stage the whole time, and it almost seemed like he went easy on him cuz how much it felt like he was ahead, in person at least. Okay thanks for reading my ted talk.

I like Remix he's not just a Napom fan boy saying "waaa Napom got robbed" don't get me wrong I love Napom but River was just better as a whole and not just in the battling category. For me repeating same old beats shouldn't be counted, it's an unfair biased form of judging
@uzairahmad74939 ай бұрын
Rivers rounds were used in previous battles before this as well. Not exactly fresh beats from his side either. Though I think its their style.
@jdturkdrcox6 ай бұрын
River is also using techniques he's done before, you're too dumb to realise that you have the opposite form of bias just because Napoms beats are so iconic.... LMAO
@hissoka99564 ай бұрын
I see where you're coming from , but in no way shape or form is river better than napom In the battle category ,maybe I. The showcase category , napom was freestyling his way through the whole competition that's why it seems repetitive because he uses liprolls alot in his beats , river is also repetitive with the snares let's not lie here , it gets harder for old beatboxers like napom to not use his iconic beats
@Nyu.Rosseanne9 ай бұрын
Finally someone who says it right. River was more complete. It's not only a battle, you also have to create music because we like to say Beatbox is music. Well if it is than create music with your tool. And River definately did that better.

I see why, but I can’t see.. it is a battle solo category, the final… not sure riven structure was as good. Napom was free to do whatever, it works. +counter and his second round 00:40 was the killer… the joke was good but the drop was weak, but that’s okay because the rest of the round he destroyed him.

I never understood why people thought napom shouldve won this. Could he have? Indeed. I had him winning for the 1st round. 2nd round river's really pulled it ahead. And the last 30 seconds of napom's round killed the vibe. And besides, both of them did repeat beats, but at this point, napom has repeated beats from literally almost a decade ago which when they came out were a huge hit, but at this point it just seems like pandering to the audience. The counter done by napom wasnt even the same, and ik he said so by making a joke "thats exactly it" it had the energy of a counter and it seemed to work but the more you think about it its nowhere near the same. Its just fast liprolls. I liked napom's first round much more than river's because it was musical but still had battle energy. The 2nd round was a landslide for me and im guessing for the judges too. Even if you take away the "biased" votes, its still 1-1 where skiller voted for river and dlow for napom. It couldve gone either way. It just went how it went. And i love napom as an artist. Im not a river fanboy and do think that river shouldve stopped at hiss last gbb and not gone to finals. But this battle shouldve and did go to river, so dont cry about it. Ps i dont think napom shouldve made it past wing. The only reason he did is because he won the coin toss. Its fair game, but imo wing shouldve won that. You can call me a wing fanboy cuz i probably am. If wing wouldve went second he wouldve had the last counter and easily swayed a vote

I like the way you explained it, though I disagree on the napom second round. It was a killer, you didn’t felt it with River. Especially the 00:40 was “secret weapons” kinda Ultimate skill:) That killed it. The joke was good in the end though the drop was soso…

River had 2 random tempo drops rather than time switches which is what was Intended. Also his tech was to intense for himself and he lost a lot of listenable musicality by changing sounds too much in a single phrase instead of blending sounds to make a more enjoyable track. It was very technically good but not pleasant to listen to. And that's a big part of judging. Hence why codfish won because everything he did sounded amazing to the ears

Its one of the reasons why you see champions not competing again once they win. All respect to River and his beatboxing abilities, but he was given the win because it was his first one. In terms of musicality and being more complete, river took the cake. But this was a battle, and napom won every aspect of it. That's my opinion. Love them both.
