Crazy how old this video is and yet it still stands apart from a lot of the current videos out today. Truly incredible and such an inspiration to even the elite dancers. Hands down in my top five favorite clips of all time
I am 41years old and am from the San Francisco Bay Area (Hayward) Man ow man you bring back memories!!!!! Back in the day 1982 we use to cut school all day and and battle against other schools or battle at someones weekend house party wid a slamming dj. We got blazzed once in a while but not stupid feel me!!! We lived to dance and danced to live. Many hours in the mirror!!! back then we called it Strutting, 3D, ticking, floating your a miracle thanks!
That is far and away the best example of pop locking I have ever seen. It is just creepy and freaky. How is it that this guy has not become a phenom! Unbelievable talent, He has the rare ability to turn his body into a visual instrument.the most most amazing visual ddancer I have ever seen.He has progressed far beyond pop lockin into what I could see as a new art form! If you like what you saw.......try explaining it to someone. I dont think it is possible. It has to be experienced. WOW!!!!
I'll give the guy one thing that was the sickest Puppeteer/Popping i've ever seen. A couple have tried to make those 2 styles work together but where they all failed this dude nailed it.
Wow I wouldn't believe this is real, good thing you walked in before you started. This is probably the best animation for the longest period of time I have ever seen. You are truly talented. Keep up the good work, I'm sure you motivate many of those who see your videos. Keep giving us fresh material. Thanks for showing us such magical dancing. God Bless
OH M Gee!! How does this not have a million views or something... That was one of the most amazing popping animations I have seen, shiz. wish I was that good lol, cheers to John man. damn!
clearly shows how animation style can be a dance and not just an impressive trick. He moves to the music, so it looks like it feels good to do, and not just to watch. With popping, for me at least, its easy to forget that its supposed to be about dancing, and not just about trying to have good moves.
Yooo I watched this masterpiece of yours for like 4 days straight back in '08 and to come back 10 years later still in amazement is crazy to me bruh. Mind flow over body control 100
this was one of my very first videos I had ever seen of you and I just saw you on the metro pcs commercial. its amazing how far you've come man, you're a true inspiration for me and my dancing and thank you for showing me how much hard work will pay off. much love Poppin john.
John, you are the apidemy of dedication and pure talent to what you do. Stylistic, disciplined and awe inspiring, there's no doubt you will take this league to an entire new level, again! Keep it up. Kudos to you Sir!
Fuck man! i have been watching your clips for a while now, and honestly you are the best animator i have ever seen. At least to my knowledge. That was ill
просто ахринеть!иэто 2008 ГОД...я с дабстэпом познакомился году в 11..и то..только с музыкой.самим направлением танца занялся году в 12-13.и то чисто для себя.много видел видео с Джоном.но ЭТО!.просто кпруто.и 2008.
Мне далеко за сорок... К хореографии и танцам " никаким боком".. Но в конце восьмидесятых пытался " Брейковать" Осталось... С этого парня я реально " фигею" ( ещё с Маркуса) Ну и зачем мне эти Григоровичи и Моисеевы....
@breaknfoool With all due respect, but Poppin' John's popping is much more unique that you might think. He doesn't follow the "status quo" of what other funkstylers do, he does his own style.
The version of Metro Area - Caught Up on this video is from Nude Dimensions Volume 3 - the vocal comes from Satin Souls - Recover which is being blended into it..sounds great.
So, You've probably heard of U-Min. This is exactly what you remind me of. If you don't know who they are, check them out here on youtube. Ridiculous skill level at animation and popping/locking. You, sir, are amazing.
I guess no one else sees tha 2008 date on this vid...John has gotten waaay better than this, and he HAS been workin on usin' the entire dance floor and more body movements.
wow man thats was amzing you keep in getting better and better there are no words what i can say how good you are really you are one of the best poppers i have ever seen. man you have skils and heart you are amazing .just thanks to you you got me into popping the first vid i saw of you and you just keep on ispiring much love brotha please check out my vids and let me kno what work i need i could really use as much help so please be free to let me kno aight yo fan
I base my decription of this amazing talent on my own personal observations. He is certainly a special talent. However if you need to get technical I suppose you are right. I am just a older guy who loves to see the imagination of young people. I see him doing the dances we used to do but with much more talent and imagination. The Robot ,locking,popping,isolation, and so forth. He is just doing what we used to do and so are most of todays dancers. They are just more talented than we were!
Oh also.. a lot of people don't realize this, but the animation/botting styles that john presents here actually do use a lot of foot movement, albeit fine ones that are small detail things. But if he didn't do them, you wouldn't get nearly the effect that you get here. This actually takes a ton of body control, but damn, john has got the bot DOWN. Seriously crazy stuff
I don't know in what bases you call this Pop Locking, but i'm wondering, because it's locking has his conections on the roots of Popping. But Speaking to the Point this is called Popping and to be more precise is using Robot, Animation, isolation, strobe, mimic, slow motion and waving teckniques just to mention a few. I just been with him Yesterday in Cardiff Bufallo bar and he's amazing, so young, so good and so humble. I'm still dreaming about last night.
Im old Skool 80`s BBoy...I dont care for the music..fkn crap but JOhn my friend......Ridiculous movements and for 10:00 minutes is unreal. Keep the Flavor flowing...
John...sometimes the things that yo do are so scary to look at...shocking ,sort of ...you should put something out for Holloween , with special makeup and costume ..maybe a zombie..just a thaught , from a groupie..luv ya!
This video was one of few that made me get into popping, back when this came out.
Crazy how old this video is and yet it still stands apart from a lot of the current videos out today. Truly incredible and such an inspiration to even the elite dancers. Hands down in my top five favorite clips of all time
Complètement d'accord, je la regarde tout le temps, c'est additif 🔥🔥🔥
10 minutes of robot and i was not bored
massive creativity mr. john
wtf i dont get how some ppl are saying this is fake.... geez... Popping john is definitely someone i look up to. Much respect John.
