Slim was just on another level. Slim's style is so unpredictable and fresh on a (relatively) formulaic scene. His animations, musicality, and transitions are crazy. I love that he really doesn't reset or use a bunch of move sets.

[@Section8dc]

Slims creativity has always been arguably the best in all of popping but Jins boogaloo here was just absolutely insane and needs more recognition imo

[@soulstart89]

I 100 agree. Jin’s roll transitions blew my mind. First I’ve seen him. Haven’t watched poppin I a LONG time. Always loved slim’s approach to music and dance.

[@kkmmjj-c8t]

Slim's expression always inspires all the dancers. Nor does he do anything meaningless or unnecessary to fascinate the judges. It just becomes one with music.

[@freerishtyle2955]

Slim is so unpredictable. Just wow

[@archie7288]

As a slim boogie fans, hes style always changed every years, so does hes styling outfit, he always experiment hes craft

[@JUALIJU]

Wow Slim 3rd round amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@geno604]

I like it when Slim is feelin grippy! Great battle.

[@bobbycapa4317]

It's mad to see experienced dancers evolved further

[@Kidkromechan]

For me, legwork was the easiest to get good at. I struggle with creativity and just staying coherent and connected to the music without resetting. So, I really admire Slim's dance. If you look closely, he is doing some crazy music play and hitting grooves in a very complicated way which is very original instead of just the obvious beat kill grooves that everyone in Asia nowadays seems to follow, India is also on my watch list. They have crazy originality with popping. When you see two people dance, it's two different individual styles. UK and USA dancers already has this characteristic but it's nice to see a country in Asia have this characteristic too. Original like how Inoc waves, or slim's creative use of his long arms, etc. There are also some crazy original dancers in Japan too like Hiroki, Fatsnake.

[@oneandonlyflow]

[@seanharris2985]

Jin killed the last round. Slim def did the 1st and 2nd but Hin owned that last round. Love the he bboy followed up by leg work and ground work nice flow

[@food4Dsou1]

SLIMMM!!!!

[@syazanidanish]

At this point mt and jin should consider to be a partner and compete in juste debout , they are literally the best popper in new gen

[@GrowingDownUnder]

juste debout doesn't exist anymore...after covid bruce announced it's finished forever there will be no more juste debout

[@syazanidanish]

@@GrowingDownUnder oh yeah i thought it still exist

[@GrowingDownUnder]

@@syazanidanish I wish, but there won't be anymore juste debout. However I did see bruce recently maybe hint at bringing it back so who knows??

Song 2 plz 🙏

[@ninothebestgirl]

Slim wearing them Demon Slayer T-Shirt LOL

[@lenchonegro5567]

That 1st track playing isn't the better popping music - it was better for Vogueing/Whacking. The music needs to HIT so the Boogalooers can HIT - Music like The Dogg Pound is better for this type of dancing. The other tracks were better.

[@danpiedra9008]

I'm about to watch Jin get smoked. Still on stupid youtube commercial. Ok closer than I thought it would be. Ok 2nd song is in favor of slim, this gonna be rough. Jin actually did pretty well. ok third song is like slim birthday song. Oh ya, Jin still trying really hard gotta give teh guy credit hes extremely fast. Anyone notice Slim insane Tutting? GG Slim

[@2taoslim]

Jin vs rashaad and the 3v3 finals were two of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen.. props to slim on taking the W

[@Victor-Fusion]

can't wait to see that battle. I can't imagine how that happened.

I don't understand how Slim Boogie manages to surpass the first challenger, let alone win a competition. It's incredible.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

I think Jin won

[@blognationent1956]

Nah

@@blognationent1956love slim, but I just preferred jins rounds here

[@BacktotheFutureBattle]

oh I see) you leave everywhere your that comment

[@Devious1Funk]

Call em back and tell them they can have our tik tok dances instead.

[@dekkers77]

JIN AT FINAL WHAT A JOKE 😝😝 SHOULD BE ARMANI VS SLIM

[@popping_sayak]

Didnt get musicality of Slim. Sometimes he misses simple boom baps and claps. Kinda silly moves without any music matching/ He has hip hop parasite moves. And of course his clothing. cant he wear shirt or kinda popping stf?

[@andrewsmith4705]

He's not trying to hit every simple boom bap and clap, because it's boring and predictable. He has developed 1000 levels beyond that.

[@GrowingDownUnder]

at least you said you don't understand it...that's the correct thing to say. But one day you will understand it maybe in 10 years or so depending how long you been popping for. Also hip hop dancers try to be like slim, not the other way around

[@popping_sayak]

@@andrewsmith4705 no, i mean he hits pop but there is no clap when he does it. Misses claps not skips

[@popping_sayak]

@@GrowingDownUnder I'm 6 years in it already. I liked his style and musicality 3 years ago. But now it looks weak

[@zsoul614]

@@popping_sayaku have 6 years. He at least have 15. Go do some research, research animation, research music, research even how Jazzy J dances for example, from electric boog.. research how Krumpers approach to music. A lot of things can add to your knowledge and creativity without going out of popping.
