Krumping is underrated #1 I had to go back and watch this because they both did a great job. I've krumped off and on for about least 7 years and when you do it in public ppl don't understand the dancing style how strong the movements are and technique it takes. I can dance universal but this is a harder dance that uses way more endurance. In public like clubs ppl just look and are loss but if u do anything basic of pop and locking the crowd goes crazy. All dances are unique in their own ways and only ppl that dance truly understand that

[@q.monette2643]

I love Dancing.Arts of DANCING IS FOREVER N FLESH , SOUL, SPIRIT,MIND,STRONGEST DESIRE IS DANCE bsides Water or Money or Family /missing my children or @ draw with water ,missing children when they temp.gone for some hourss or 1week or so.

[@Deezy_Ankh]

This was a true statement, but krump isn't really for the club. They'd never get it.

[@utpalbasumatary]

Seriously man..I have tried it and those hard quick chest pumps and arm swings along with placement with the beat are hard asf..I gave up Krumping but I still really love watching Krump.

love tight eyes but retro's first move where he dropped his head was bananas.

[@kyledixontv]

He did it against another krumper named milk years before this battle. And he didn't do one new move this whole battle. I follow both of them. Tight eyez did new material the whole time and was turfing more than retro aka turf.

People don't understand how RAW and COLD TURF was! A Freakin Legend Bro!

[@darienlyght2461]

I have a love for both styles, krumping for the technicality and Turfing for the expression. People clicked on the video for retro and tight eyes, so there's respect for both individual styles so what matters is the Love of God and praise through dancing, not the segregation of individualistic styles. Jesus mingled in the multitude to give light peace, and a choice between life and death and honestly, expression without purpose is dead in the sight of God

[@kyledixontv]

[@Allaboutabagg.____]

This is still one of the biggest battles today I still watch this and it’s 9/26/23 retro will always be one of my favorite turf dancers and tight eyez will always be my favorite krump dancer this battle was everything in my childhood 🔥lol (I’m only 23 lol)

[@jakeRPoppin]

yo people have noo clue how crazy tight eyez is he has completly invented something new. hes basically taken popping to another level by hitting so hard and being able to move soo fast. hes the lebron james of dance because of his sheer strength. insane

[@rookiepowell5260]

I LOVE Krumping! Number One, Krumping breaks a lot of the rules of the dance that involves popping, locking and breaking because much of the moves are never anticipated!! Krumping isn't for everyone but, it is an ART form of dancing in itself, when I watch GOOD krumping I see that there is a LANGUAGE of body movements, that language is almost indescribable but it's powerful, brilliant and reminiscent of the Mother Land (Africa) to me!! It's obviously NOT AN EASY DANCE but the creators know and understand this when they do moves that, at first glance appear not to match the beat of the music (but one who knows body movement and something about musicality can see that). It's just a dance that's NON Mainstream and to be quite honest, that is a good thing so it (the LANGUAGE) doesn't change!!

[@VonVitto]

i know im 2 years late but thats how i feel about the 2 minutes i had to wait for him to come out the bag "normally' and just stand there lol...got great skillz Tight Eyes though...great body control

[@ashleyjohnson8521]

Every move tight eyes made his crew made noise, about to cry and everything. Lol!! So funny

[@ilovecloudythegiant]

Literally everything he said on ABDC and the fact that he krumps to songs that he wrote and recorded himself are enough proof.

[@Stressedantihero]

Looking back at this battle... I love reading the narrow minded comments about Krump because look at where Mijo & Eyex are now. Look how much bigger Krump is to the ENTIRE WORLD. A KRUMP dancer won SYTYCD, HUGE names in dancing incorporate Krump moves into their sets. It’s amazing 💪🏾 KRUMP ^^^ Eyex^^^ Bullz^^^^ BullzEyex^^^ NYX^^^

[@gittsmoke]

The first move by retro I automatically thought he won

[@CDLatin]

Same... It's okay to be wrong...that's what my mommy taught me

[@brianbelcher7279]

tight eyez won?

[@tburrus94]

First move killed eyez

[@lbcmeanzlilbuffcory8308]

Factsss

[@MyLuckyDobie]

The instrumental combined with Retro's dancing made this dance competition video AWESOME.

[@dune310la]

Turfing is more so just flashy entertainment and external(Hey look what I can do) .. Krumping is a lot more personal emotion raw, rugged and internal(But can you survive these killoffs?)

[@Smd-tn3tu]

turfing is about story telling. it came from popping. if you aren't from the bay, you wouldn't know that though.

[@MichaelJMelo]

So what category would you put lying in a blanket under?? Raw emotion? Or Flashy??

[@Hawxter12]

Cheesy blanket intro. Everything after that was sweet.

[@christiancuniah8411]

Of course anybody can dance, any move is dancing really when we think about it, but to do what Turf does is something else, it is a style of dance in itself. Great talent and determination.

[@bigslimm7]

Tight eyes got that one. The 2nd dude just looks like he was a contortionist. All he showed was that he was double jointed

[@Angielyrica]

U know the creativity of Krumping THEN was expressing anger, emotion, and getting the energy around you to understand and it rotates u feed off them, and they feed off of you... krumping was a lay out of expression and you'd work hard for your punchlines to show the crowd what emotion you are expressing at the moment. Now, these kids don't understand and what Retro brought with his turf style....the unreliable expression is what Krump was founded on. Retro snatched the energy and shattered it.

[@FlippyHambone]

Seizure dance VS. Contortion dance is more accurate.

[@sirfailalotful]

Honestly, this is one of the best battles i've ever seen and who are you to judge what is dance or not? People have the freedom to dance however they like. Even moving around in your own bathroom while singing or listening to music is called dancing. Such a bigot. Dance is the freedom of expression. YOU ARE NOT ONE TO JUDGE WHAT IS DANCE.
