Balistix is actually insane omg
Go to tiktok bro he is still alive there
Bizkit: Better pray to me
Balistix: Why you jealous bro
Bizkit: Fxxk you shiiiit
Balistix: That sounded like a lullaby
*''This Is a Battle''* 💣💥🔥
*I'm not sure what they said bc I dont use English…
Was it right?
@@funiversebeatbox8161 think he's saying "fuck your shit"
Oof, do I ever have an opinion on this. Balistix and Bizkit are both great beatboxers. You don't get to top 8 in America by being bad. That being said, no beatboxer is perfect. The comments about Bizkit being "toxic" are by no means justified. No one goes into a battle expecting to be respected and praised the whole way through by their opponents cause there's only one winner, and a good amount of these competitors went to New York to win this. Everyone should respect each other off stage but on stage...you shouldn't be opposed to calling things as you see them. I've been on both ends of this, talking shit and getting comments about how they didn't like that as well as had shit talking happen to me. Part of putting yourself up on that stage is being ready for the criticism you're going to receive from the audience, judges, comments and your adversaries, as I'm sure Bizkit is completely ready for and not phased by all your comments and I'm sure balistix expected someone to call him out for his beatboxing. It's simply part of the sport and if you can't handle it the criticism, then maybe you aren't made for it. Of course, you don't need to talk shit to win battles but why wouldn't you when it's warranted? Respect is treating your opponent as an opponent and considering them as a threat to your goal. That speaks for itself.
As for the whole balistix biting thing... It's hard to say he isn't. I'm not sure if a lot of the comment section is new to beatboxing, or just not following it as much, but there's definitely hard influences within his beatboxing. Of course, it's fine to take influence from other beatboxers as long as you make it your own but I've seen exact patterns/flows taken from other beatboxers and I could understand how that frustrates people. Imagine working so hard on building an original style and sound to bring yourself to success in these competitions and make a name for yourself, but then someone comes around who is a good beatboxer but doesn't have a definitive style and has bitten beats/patterns etc off other beatboxers and get's all this attention. I think the criticism is justified... for now. Balistix is a great beatboxer and all he's missing is building a style that's truly his own. Often, that just comes with time and effort. I don't mean this with any ill intent, just calling it as I see it. It's a piece of criticism that he gets often and it wouldn't be wise to ignore it knowing what his goals are. Part of growing is being able to take criticism into account and make proper adjustments while taking bad criticism and pushing it to the side.
Ya'll should chill with the comments calling out Bizkit for being toxic and try to see his point of view with an open mind.
ELISII Beatbox ^^
Truth!
I totally agree with you, Elisii.
^
Michael Pruitt but no one likes toxic comments
regardless of whether or not ballistix was biting people or not, calling someone out for it in a battles doesn't equate to toxicity lmao
y'all really getting mad at someone for doing something that like 90% of other beatboxers do smh
big ups to both these dudes for putting their best foot forward in one the highest level ABCs ever
So true.
Spoken like a true champ
Ballistix is my new fvrt .
100% Technicality VS 100% Structure
Great battle guys! I am so glad I got to see it live. 🔥🔥🔥
what a battle🔥 great job by both of them
Balistix is so underrated!
Much love to Iran beatbox ♥️
Haha I love the trash talking and hand signals. Bizkit and Balistix both are 2 of my favorite bbxers so it’s insane to see them battle. Grats to Balistix!
i also love balistix's attitude!! well done bro. i love the sas!
They both sassy asses
U guys in the comment hating on biz .....its a battle and they both did amazing and it was a dope battle. Dont hate on people for what they do in a battle it's all a show.
Truth!
Late, but its just for the battle element thru are actually (obviously) friends irl
big up balistix, you are an inspiration
Amazing battle energy
Nasty battle this one! Sick stuff guys 🤙
That was such a sick battle!!! DAMN
1:04 EEEEEPIIIICCCC💥💥💥💥
they both killed it!
i feel like they want a fight
😂😂♥️
they are already in a BATTLE
Nah
4:59 is my favorite part with balistix's expression. Get's me everytime. LMFAO
probably my favorite battle of top 8, insane...
06:30 hahahah i dont believe in this hug
Atlanta represent! Nice Ballistics! 🔥👍🎧🎶
Dude with the glasses killed it! The trash talk is part of the strategy in battle.
Omg it is so sick battle!
Good battle!!!!
What a battle - I love the tension
Ballistix first drop is insane
I'm going to ring in on the big issue here: hosts saying they don't envy the judges after EVERY battle, including ones that they, the judges, and we all know is a clear decision. Stahp
Don't see how apparently there's such a consensus on Balistix's lack of originality. It's like sometimes people randomly decide to go extra hard on someone, maybe because they're frustrated for not speaking up on other situations and then explode... This was kinda like rewatching Villain against Napom back in '14 Midwest. Don't mean to pick a side here, just pointing out things I haven't seen anyone mention in the comments, and most of all just wishing everyone would calm down, whether that be Balistix/Bizkit or the people reacting to this.
Just gonna say Ballistix is mega underrated and this is coming from a dude that listens to him on discord lol
ya.. crazy shit in beatbox talk
Kinda wishing he made it to GBB 2020. Hes so good
@@bleeditoutrox ya
Nice 😊
Clean + controll + power = balistix
Anyone else became extra happy when Balistix won? Big up to you Balistix, really hope your win against that dude gave him an ego check.
Voidjam 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Voidjam lol doesn’t ignore the fact that ballistix bites more than bizkit
Fuck the biting shit. They cool. They battled. One winner one loser. They were cool after the battle. Why people making a big deal out of nothing.
Bro its a battle bizcit was being the better battles by trash talking
Bizkits now a gbb champ for loop and top 10 at gbb for solo
YEAH BALISTIX
Esto si es una BATALLA!
This is stacked
bizkit's second round is lit yoooo
I really commend the sound system
Bizkit: you gonna loose. Juddges:nope
What a battle🔥🔥😮😆
This comment section is something else lol. Meanwhile I’m just here enjoying the battle Xd 😂, good job guys.
ASMR BiggieP honestly 🤣 ppl take it to far it’s just a battle and a good one
crisp Xd 😂
Right on
Balistix straight to the point
Ballistix is the new dope
5:55🚀🔥
savage
Ahhh shiet this battle was nuts, that battle talk tho 🤭
both of em do have extreme level of beatbox
So glad Balistix won this.
Come on ya TT is part of the game, the aggression is what makes it tense and interesting
Balistix first round was nuts
My favorite part of this battle is how balistix says he wont trash talk then talks trash anyways. Also why are people calling bizkit toxic? So many other beatboxers have done the same shit in battles and I dont see people call them toxic. Anyways good battle bizkit and balistix.
Kip Beatbox no it’s because when other beatboxers do it they do it in a jokingly way, bizkit does it to inflate his massive ego.
@@bringitksiohyeahyeah209 he doesnt have a massive ego you dont even know him wtf you talking about? How can you judge somebody so hard from a single video. Youd be a shit detective mate.
Sorry but if you think Bizkit is toxic for what he said, y'all must think the truth is poisonous. But with that being said. It's a battle, stop getting so triggered and sensitive over the trash talk. Balistix is hella skilled but he's weakness rn is his originality. He sounds alot like a mixture of a myriad of popular beatboxers. Once he develops his own style a bit more he'll definitely be a more complete beatboxer. Both did their thing but the hate Bizkit is getting is ridiculous. His structure is phenomenal. I feel like people want to find anything negative to say about someone's ability even if the person is skilled simply because they don't like their attitude. Attitude doesn't matter. It's a battle. Much love to both. But absolutely no love for the toxicity in these comments.
Mad much?
Ouhh balistix u just like elisii jr... What a cleann
2:34 does anyone know how he did that effect?
5:59 what does that hand gesture mean? Would someone kindly educate me on what all the other hand gestures mean?
that means Copy. Normally they use this when the opponent is coping other beatboxers routine.
the only thing balistix is gonna pray to is our LORD GOD. damn this was a crazy battle. love the competitive fire from both of them and you know it’s all respect off stage. big up 👌🏻
5:04
Holy Hakdogs!
Es buenardo el balistix
si
You guys are ruthless out here. Bizkit is a nice fucking guy, you're all trying to portray him as a monster when they were both roasting each other LMAO. Big ups to my buddy, Bizkit. If you're gonna sit here and say Bizkit can't call Balistix out for biting, but then also accuse Bizkit of it....you're just blindly being ignorant 🤷♀️
“ im not going to trash talk because I’m not cocky like you are” “why you jealous bro?”...... wait..... wut? But that was...... yeah never mind...... lol wow.
balistix god 🔥
1:52 - 4:59 just wanted to ask if I was the only one to notice this lol. Also battles like these with this kind of heat are what make we wanna get on stage and battle 🔥
Just want to say before I get called out for my “toxicity” that I respect balistix and all his skills. Regardless, a battle is a battle, and I wasn’t going to pull any punches. There is no bad blood between us, and this loss has inspired me to be the best version of myself that I can be. Big ups to balistix, and I’ll see ya’ll next year when I’m even stronger :)
Youre not toxic youre just showing your opinion atleast youre not disrespectful while your opponent is doing his round unlike some bmg dipshits
Wow, I accidentally deleted my earlier comment.
Essentially:
You respect each other's talents by going as hard as you can. That's not toxic.
And also, can't wait to see you rip the stage up at BTW! Your wildcard was my favorite.
@@ajesco sorry to break it to you man it was cancelled cuz of corona virus

@@amitsapir9565 wait what the FUCK.
Balisix using the Dragon at 3:13
LMAOOOO what an entertaining battle
Biztix my new fav tag team fuck all the rest
Great battle from both guys!
Gotta say it though, Bizkit likes to say people use other's sounds, yet he used nothing but Gene and Wunknown's sounds himself.
Big up to both and great improvements from Balistix here.
Bizkit probably got influence from those two beatboxers, but what he did was clearly original. There's a difference line between originality and influence. Using a sound someone else invented doesn't make you unoriginal... not developing it towards your own style is what makes you unoriginal. Copying patterns and beats verbatim makes you unoriginal. Bizkit definitely brought his own material and own style to this tournament.
@@ELISII I agree. But him calling Balistix out for being unoriginal is silly considering Bizkit did the same thing. They both used sounds that other beatboxers used. That's part of the game, right?
Regardless, awesome battle and can't wait to see more from both guys.
@@Cheebusal The issue isn't that they were both using sounds other beatboxers made. I said there's no problem in using other sounds as long as you adapt them to your own style and make it your own... Meaning sounding like nobody else or using it in a unique way. Bizkit did THAT... Not just blatantly use other beatboxer's sounds without any adaption.
@@ELISII so true what your saying. Always like to read your insight😉🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@ELISII I feel you, for sure. But are you implying Balistix copied here? I mean its no secret he was heavily influenced by Colaps here. But I don't personally think he was copying.
idgi why is bizkit calling out balistix for biting? I checked out, and unless I have missed something idk what is supposed to be bit (like, clearly the audical and trung inspiration was there, but was there really anything stolen?). But when he does the arm thing as a response to double clicking it just got cringy. Like he believes that using a sound is biting. By these measures Bizkit bit more than Balistix. Then he acts super cocky about lip osc and melody, as if that hasnt been done a hundred times. (not that i think its wrong to use, but acting like its something original for him is silly)
Tuss Beatbox I mean whole Colaps and elisii patterns and the breathing thing in the second round was babeli from so many years ago
@@ponobeatbox I have no idea what elisii pattern you are talking about, and he is using diffrent sounds, diffrent notes, diffrent timbres than colaps, diffrent structure, etc. Its just within the same realm of beatboxing. Not to mention that Bizkit also had stuff that would be as similar to Colaps as Balistix stuff.
And if alternate breathing techniques is "biting" then D-Low, Napom, etc. all are just biting. Not to mention anyone singing while beatboxing. You cant own concepts like that in music. We could even stretch it further and call anyone using B kick instead of making their own is a biter. Beatbox community has always been about teaching and involving more ppl in beatboxing, idk why we would start shaming ppl for using double clicks just because it is associated with someone who is using them really well.
Bizkit definitely isnt a shining example of originality for him to come at ballistix like that on stage...
Sing less, drop more beats...use less lip osc.
Then talk.
Both of them are up and comers and are super strong beatboxers and should respect eachother.
@@asylumental To be fair you can be unoriginal with out biting, and Bizkit is calling out biting, not unoriginality.
@@TussBeatbox he called him out for biting, losing timing, and being predictable... among other things...
When none of it was really true
bizkit is a nice dude yall
Balistix will be World Champ.
4:03 sounding a bit like rivers feel the silence
?
Wtf,ur on cracks bro
@@dontquestionmyvideos not at all, just my opinion. The structure is similar in my opinion, same breaks, same flow, different sounds. Still badass
Did not know biskit was so cocky and immature like this lol
balistik
esh
Balistix originality said ya yeet. Rip bizkit :((( If y’all think balistix doesn’t sound like anyone and does anyone’s exact beats y’all trippin!!
He is mega underrated
@@purple8060 idk
@Coldness Oi. So you say Balistix is biting for using a sound Colaps happens to use a lot. I am just wondering why anyone who does a zipper is technically biting helium? Or anyone who does a liproll biting Napom?
Purple biting doesnt mean taking a sound it means using the same exact pattern and structure of another person who created it and not using your own original. You can use any sound you want as long as you put it to your own original use
could you link me the video of someone doing that exact structure?
Man I love it when toxic people get destroyed
what about this was toxic tho?? its battle talk....
Remm You cant tell me Bizkit isn’t coming off condescending in this. Its not what he said but rather how he’s presenting himself
Owlsnickers it’s all stage presence. You don’t understand because you weren’t there at the event. The vibe is a lot different and it’s to set the tone of the battle. They went back and forth, bizkits trash talk was just better
bizkit is crying
Being there live many agreed that BizKit took this one but big up anyway I guess
😂😂😂
Someone’s salty lmaoo
@@ErroAxe bruh stfu you look like you wear wrangler jeans
Bruh
Balistix best taunter
i like balistix
"I am not going to trashtalk"
.....while calling him cocky..........LOL I don't know.
Why is there 3 comments
Cause it's not Swissbeatbox channel and you also early 😅
Hey it's the tiktok guy
Lmfao
So.. I opted to watch the video in full before making any comments here to try to gather some context. Y'all crazy. If you think Balistix isn't straight biting people you should up your beatbox knowledge. You'd be harder pressed to find original things he did than find things he bit, probably around a 10:90 ratio. In that sense, I totally think Bizkit was entitled to react the way he did. Now it's not Balistix' fault he won, he got voted for. I also wasn't there. Personally I think Balistix is really talented but just needs to find himself.
Now... another note. Stop being sensitive little children. This is hip hop and this is a BATTLE. They're not supposed to sit and compliment each other. Calling out flaws is just a part of a battle, and it will happen to you and you will likely do it at some point if you battle. I think Bizkit was totally right to call out the biting, as the judges may not have known, nobody can watch every single video. I wasn't there so I won't comment on the judge's opinions, but this crap about Balistix being called out for copying is exactly that, crap. He WAS copying, and we SHOULD as a community be calling that out. He's really talented and maybe if enough people start showing him that straight copying isn't cool he will make something original for you to enjoy.
This is a battlle i mean its normal talking shit to your opponent cuz ofc its a battle and battles arent all that friendly lol but in the end they're friends so for those who are sensitive with the situation dont try to minsunderstand this shit is normal (i may be late commenting in this vid cuz im a latecomer but just giving my opinion and its not like im close with these guys btw)
First
Awesome balistix!! Very bad the actitude of Biztkit
Noone: ... hershe: (6:42) funk you
2:50 is dirty af 😦
I've watched battles with a lot more tension and a lot more trash talking then this, but I think what made people respond the way they did to Biskit is how baseless his digs were. First, he accuses balistix of not being original while his stuff sounds more generic than his, and then he does the karate chops while balistix is actually keeping time just fine.
If you're going to call out someone on something you can't be guilty of the same thing. It just makes him look bad.
Well no... Balistix wasnt on time when he did karate chops
Bro it's a battle
tbh i enjoy this kind of battle lol ita not bored xd
Blastix is the best
People keep comparing bizkit to other beatboxers and say how they trash talk. But when they do it they do it in a jokingly way. We all know bizkit did it to inflate his ego and because he was truly mad.
I would be mad too if someone won against me using other peoples beats 🤷🏻♂️
@@bigdave4400 Please link me a video of someone else doing that exact structure. Or are your claims just based off lies?
what is "biting?"
Using or copying other beatboxer's beats
Using another person's beat as your own
what a strange shit talk from bizkit, balistix is super original
I love aggressive beatboxer but with the skill to back their aggressiveness like d low , this dude just straight up aggressive but with no skill to back it up lol
xd
Well this didn’t age well
This battle has so much tension and I love it. People need to realize battles are still competitive. And in my opinion, BizKit got robbed here. He was way more precise, was always on time, has more complex routines, variation, and was more original. Ballistix is very skilled but I feel like he lacked basic beatbox practices, and routine inspiration and that’s key in my eyes.
I disagree, Balistix is insanely precise and his structure and sound control is world level. His stage presence is on point, he didnt break under pressure and had a great rebuttal. He gets called on biting for no real reason, he is original, inspired, but original. He took this fair and square. Judges know what they're doing.
Rebuttals and counters aren’t really worth doing if unless you can exactly copy it or level it up, and he didn’t really level up his vocals on that one. And if we’re going off of rebuttals then BizKit won with his comment lol. I never said he straight up copied people verbatim, but at least turn it into something yours. Breathing into the mic as a drop is Babeli as hell, riding the click wave with Collaps’ exact placement, etc. I respect his intentions with it but it just doesn’t execute especially while he’s dragging or speeding up on combos.
@@JWatBeatbox i respect ur opinnion dud but, he isn't.
There are Different opinions ofc. In my opinion balistix routines were more complex, more technical and more creative. He sounded much Cleaner too. So easy win for me actually
JWatOfficial I see where you’re coming from but Ballistix was a lot cleaner in this battle, and understood battle fundamentals like how to end a round and how to keep the “hype” throughout a round. I respect your opinion but completely disagree
first
06:13 wtf xd
This battle is fun, i mean look at villain guys how can you say balistixs toxic but villain isnt? XD
Bizkit calls shit on balistix for biting material and then round 2 decides to do the most ball zee fucking beat ever. And with terrible sound consistency in the lip bass. Lol, smooth
