what separates PJ from the crowd is the same in any form of dance. He knows his music cold! He uses every note, beat, rhythm, accent, and break. Awesome! Non-stop the same thing, just different interpretations.
This video made me love watching old school popping again. Don't get me wrong, I've always respected it, but I would rather watch a Pacman or Kevin Brewer piece, because Popping in it's purest form seemed so dated. However, I was a fool. John, you have rekindled my passion for popping with this excellent performance.
Last comment on yer vids John. From the 1:13 point on this vid...Is probably the BEST footage of Popping ever shot!.. John,you are too good a dancer to "dis" other dancers. Let them do that stuff. Lastly...Thank you to John for showing us his amazing talent in the ART of Popping. You sir,are the best Popper there is. Pete.
I honestly liked his old style better, there was an element of funk in his dance. Poppin John in 2019 has mastered animation and dimestops, which is perfect for showcases, but I feel like the funk has been lost, so i don't really find him as good to watch in battles compared to his older style in this clip
This is amazing. His technique is awesome, not to mention his school is awesome. Check it out. I took 8 months off after starting for about a month or two and visited to catch up and now I am back on track for a beginner. Awesome.
@ scientistn1 - i think youre absolutely right. johns moves get cleaner every time, but theyre still the same moves. i dont have any room to talk, but i think popping is the same as playing an instrument. the difference between a good drummer & a great drummer is someone who can hold a different beat with each hand and foot, and still make it flow together. hope that made sense to someone. nothin but love for ya John.
Okay I am sick of people asking for Song names when they know to check the vid info in the upper right hand corner in more info. Poppin John is so sick. Keep it up.
Fucking beautiful, beautiful, thanks brother for representing the entire Southwest including the 915 baby!! You a true representer of the culture, the 'true" culture...You should hit up that So YOu think you Can Dance show man, youd kill, much luv..peace and all that shit.. R.A.R.R.
@xCrookedSpiralx PLz dude i know hell off alot about popping. Poppin john has a exceptionnal body control but thats all. Salah is a beast he has mad tricks and has alot more experience and variety. oh yea and just so you know tricks are also part of popping.
Dayum PJ's isolation is just fuckin insane, his chest pops is clean as fuk, goddamn his style overall is CRAZY man mad props. Although cant hardly compare this dude to salah because their styles are broadly different. Not to mention Salah's major flexibility advantage.
Yh i understand where your coming from aswell, i have watched the others alot, I think Frantick is amazing but there is still something that makes poppin john unique and that is the fact that he never has any sloppy type movement i.e. some of the people you recommended specialised in a particular area of movement but then some of the other moves they did lacked but yh your right poppin john is one of the best not THE best. As is the rest of the guys you mentioned!
@krosake Haiz.... Poppin John you have to admit is unbeatable many technical aspects of popping and probably one of the best, if not the best technical popppers there are today. Salah on the other hand is probably the best in entertaining and crowd pleasing. Hes very good with his techniques however not on par with poppin john. Both however overall are as good as each other but they are better in different aspects one for technicality and the other for performance
@tropsmoo Yep both are equal overall but better than each other at different aspects.... apparently I dont see how its too difficult to understand XD but oh wellz hmmm I wonder how many tie-breaker rounds there would be with salah and poppin john if they ever battle lol
yeah. i mean i can hit but just not smooth. also sometimes i try to hit to a beat but for some reason i keep hitting like a second before i should. i guess your right then practice is the key. thanks homie
From now on you are known as Poppin John the BEAST!!!
Your going down in history :)
I still come here from time to time to check out this sick set

poppin john has become the best popper on youtube

John, you have rekindled my passion for popping with this excellent performance.

Love the music by good old Rodger Troutman -Brings me back to the early 80's

This funky style is absolutely killer. It adds that little something extra to the technical sharpness.
People these days are forgetting to combine rhythm and musicality, but poppin john combines them beautifully.
This is a sick ass vid. i've seen it hundreds of times & its crazy!
He's the best in the world!
I watched the first 10 seconds. Subscribed. You hit the beats so hard. Amazing.

John is a very good Popper. It's hard to beat him. He's SO accurate with the beat!
Some of the sickest popp'n ever!!!!!!!!!
Nevermind...Got Talk Box Fever, well their album. Awesome. Great pick up
This is amazing. His technique is awesome, not to mention his school is awesome. Check it out. I took 8 months off after starting for about a month or two and visited to catch up and now I am back on track for a beginner. Awesome.

2:30-2:33 omg that shit was raw...crazy how the simplest moves can look so hard when done at the right time and with the right beat...
poppin j took it to a whole nother level
Amazing!
earth shattering hits !!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ scientistn1 - i think youre absolutely right. johns moves get cleaner every time, but theyre still the same moves.
i dont have any room to talk, but i think popping is the same as playing an instrument. the difference between a good drummer & a great drummer is someone who can hold a different beat with each hand and foot, and still make it flow together.
hope that made sense to someone. nothin but love for ya John.

I think I watched 4:22 about 100 times to see his foot movement and how he does it. Man that's some crazy stuff.
Vine a ver el video nada mas lo sigo desde el 2014 y ahora 2021
To me he seems a very accomplished popper. Very clean and dope PJ.
Fucking beautiful, beautiful, thanks brother for representing the entire Southwest including the 915 baby!! You a true representer of the culture, the 'true" culture...You should hit up that So YOu think you Can Dance show man, youd kill, much luv..peace and all that shit..
R.A.R.R.

Yo, very nice popping man. The animation and botting is really nice.
its not only about practice and how much time you put into it...theres a lot more to it
fucking SO SICK! so CLEAN!
idc what anyone says.. i dont think they know what they talking about.. your one of my favs
popping john owned whoever he was battling
has been a while ago, but nice to see😁👍🏻
homie got cacked! when did you get this new swagger, dude? whole new level, man.
@xCrookedSpiralx PLz dude i know hell off alot about popping. Poppin john has a exceptionnal body control but thats all. Salah is a beast he has mad tricks and has alot more experience and variety. oh yea and just so you know tricks are also part of popping.
Dayum PJ's isolation is just fuckin insane, his chest pops is clean as fuk, goddamn his style overall is CRAZY man mad props. Although cant hardly compare this dude to salah because their styles are broadly different. Not to mention Salah's major flexibility advantage.
AMAZING
excellent work-crispand sectioned-so....out there
Bless you main! Prayin for ya main.
1 Love - Through Christ Jesus
Best popper ever
Such a burn on the going back to cali song
poppin john is really good
Yh i understand where your coming from aswell, i have watched the others alot, I think Frantick is amazing but there is still something that makes poppin john unique and that is the fact that he never has any sloppy type movement i.e. some of the people you recommended specialised in a particular area of movement but then some of the other moves they did lacked but yh your right poppin john is one of the best not THE best. As is the rest of the guys you mentioned!
He is the master of popin
that was great !!!
@krosake Haiz.... Poppin John you have to admit is unbeatable many technical aspects of popping and probably one of the best, if not the best technical popppers there are today. Salah on the other hand is probably the best in entertaining and crowd pleasing. Hes very good with his techniques however not on par with poppin john. Both however overall are as good as each other but they are better in different aspects one for technicality and the other for performance
Perfection
it makes you feel good inside...
gotta see Poppin John and Boogie Frantick go at it.
what hes doing at 2:30 is sick
@tropsmoo Yep both are equal overall but better than each other at different aspects.... apparently I dont see how its too difficult to understand XD but oh wellz hmmm I wonder how many tie-breaker rounds there would be with salah and poppin john if they ever battle lol
amazing
White boy zoned out, & put on a show while in a battle-that was a special kodak moment-probably only a popper could appreciate.
This guy is the best popper I've seen. Clearly better than Salah.
All the songs are in the description. :)
We love you more John :-)
any idea how I may get the track "poppin shaker"?
dam sick!!!!!!!!!!
man that guy in the back thats poppin
ummmm he showing off
battle him next
KILLLED IT! what did the other guy do. i feel sorry for him.
cmon that glide was fucking SICK at the end holy shit
Just from the few moves he did, I think hes probably better...more variety.He sure got your attention!
unreal!!
thank you
beauty if in the eye of the beholder..... keep improving, never stay satified...
usually i dont get excited by glides since every decent popper should have it in their repertoire, but damn that shit was smoothe!
0:10 damn those are some nasty chest pops
yeah. i mean i can hit but just not smooth. also sometimes i try to hit to a beat but for some reason i keep hitting like a second before i should. i guess your right then practice is the key. thanks homie
