IMPORTANT MESSAGE: All the informations we share here could cause, that people will get angry. I ask you to still stay humble and make this a peaceful protest. Discussion and conversation is very welcomed but I‘m highly against any kind of violence.
Thank you both for sharing your experience. I’m sorry to hear how ya’ll were treated. I’m hopeful for the future though because conversation leads to change!
If this video gets as much traction as the first one, I’d just throw out a reminder to everyone to lookup all your favorite beatboxers and watch and share their most recent performances and battles. There’s a lot of recent releases that aren’t getting much traction and if you want beatboxers to have more independence it’s important to support them on their own channels as well as other platforms they can work with. Even if the quality of some events isn’t up to what you’re used to, more support means they can afford to put on better quality events in the future.
This is one of, if not the most important video for the beatbox community right now. Some people can't handle serious topics like this, but we cannot keep on acting like this community doesn't have MASSIVE problems. The GBB and Swiss Beatbox overall need drastic changes to become a company that is able to pay their workers the money they earned and also give more to the artists. There shouldn't be a single leader who acts like a dictator and a man-child, demanding that everyone does what he wants. Swiss Beatbox has so much potential to be something better and bigger, but not if 1.Pepouni doesn't change or 2.Pepouni doesn't leave the company. We cannot romanticize reality any longer, pepouni is not your friend.
Thank you for speaking out, I hope lots of people see this and take it seriously. Madox, I hope you can get DKoy on here, he tried to speak up after GBB2021 and I feel like people made fun of him for it or didn't believe him. He deserves to be heard too.
You can see Madox get emotionally hurt when hearing what Pepouni was saying about him. I know people don’t agree with releasing this interview, but this needs to change.
Why wouldn't you agree with this? It needs to be spoke about. Should people still be getting ripped off and not being paid their value or am I missing something?
I think some people think it’s just needless drama or it’s being addressed in the wrong way - but if Madox didn’t do this then people wouldn’t know how bad the situation had gotten and nothing would have changed. So yeah, no idea why people are disagreeing to be honest.
I don't agree with this because it really just seems like these guys aren't happy with the way SBX was being run, and they quit. There's nothing really much more to say about it than that. If the artists don't like SBX or GBB, they absolutely do not have to participate. If the staff don't like it at SBX, they can quit. It's not like it's paying their bills anyway? The art of beatbox doesn't die with one single organisation. If SBX is truly more of a curse than a blessing, why don't they just let it die? And I suspect the reason is because it has something of value to offer that isn't money, and it's something that nobody who's chasing someone else's money wants talking about (except for when they're trying to accuse ONE PERSON of having "a monopoly" on an artform, which makes absolutely no sense. As an artist, if you don't like SBX, don't work with them. If you don't think you can make it without them, that should tell you all you need to know about the value they provide to you in exchange for your performances.
Madox, you should really consider starting a record label for beatboxers. You make such high quality content, and could help so many artists take their craft to the next level ❤
The courage that this guy has to go against a whole company is huge, but also backed up by some really eshed up stuff that happened to him. The whole community doesn't even know how lucky they are that there is someone who is finally speaking up. And it is not about "Ughh you fanboy Madox" etc, cuz the same did D-Koy and Vocodah, therefore Madox is not the first one, but the one who decided to speak the loudest.
Looks like Pepouni is insane and a sneaky b****. Everybody: shoutout to my friend Pepouni. And he ripped all of you. Hope people get smarter and wake the f**** up. Make beatbox great again.
@@hanefigurler Swiss Beatbox no longer has the rights to the videos and is sole property of the artist they must of has a contract/clause in there somewhere outlining these things

Man, I just want to give Maddox a hug! It's painful to watch but I can only imagine how painful it must be for him to hear some of these truths :( Much respect and love man!
Thank you for speaking up, the more stories we hear, the more people will start to listen. There are people in the community that feel loyalty to Pepouni and SBX, and refuse to acknowledge the serious issues that have been coming to light. I hope they will listen and try to understand how important this. We need to come together to protect the community.
Oh damn, we kind of started to understand how bad things were, but this is just insane. Man I love Beatbox so so much and want to see all those incredibly hard working artists, but I do not know what to do. Unsubing does not seem like enough.
At first I thought only Vocodah and D-Koy had problems with em and inclined to think that everything is right, but daaamn! Sounds like hat's a workplace nobody can survive! The balls you have to talk about it are huge! Totally appreciate it, dude! All of us!❤️❤️❤️😘😘💪💪💪
I agree 100%, It takes balls to get ***** every day by a douche Who won't pay solely for his selfishness, imagine what was Madox's state of mind when he had to work a second job, while uploading basically 99% of the content on SBX. Sad af
my respect for you went so high man, it takes courage to do what you've done. I've watched your videos for a long time, now i love you more. MAN OF CULTURE
@Madox, why not cooperate with Rachel and others, and create an alternative beatboxing company? Screw Pepouni. From what you and Rachel said, the majority of people in his company are just waiting for any other place to appear, where they would be treated with integrity. The story in this interview looks like a drama, but it might also become the greatest opportunity of your entire life! )) Anyway, thank you for your great work in SBX. As part of a community, I do really appreciate it!
Maddox, as someone who's always loved beatbox, but has never felt like i was a part of the community because I've never been to any events or anything, watching your conversations with the other beatboxers makes me realize that i was actually stuck by SBX. I would only watch their videos and it never encouraged me to take action in the community. But now that I've found your videos I've decided i need to take my son to local beatboxing events. Following your podcast to find who to support and how to best participate in the community even if only remotely. Thank you for your channel and your bravery.
Rachel is such a inspiration for me. Not just in the Beatboxing community, but also generally. Thank you (and Madox) for standing your ground and speaking up! Being unafraid is the most powerful weapon a human can have!
its so sad its like this! this community helped me and most likely many through the toughest times of mental health. No one deserves to be treated badly, we're all just trying to make a name for ourselves and survive. I wish the best of luck to everyone involved and hope this get resolved in the most efficient and peaceful way possible. Pepouni has become power hungry it seems...
I got into beatbox during covid and it helped me through some really rough times. Seeing these Videos about swissbeatbox breaks my heart, but i am so thankful that you made them. Stay awesome. Much love
I just want to give you a hug right now Madox. You went through so much by the past. A huge part of the community is behind you and we will try our best to make this dictatorship come to an end. Thank you for being the one that stood up, the braviest one. Just one word to address to Pepouni: Karma
Ya´ll , thank you for being amazin family , fighters , warriors in this case . Ya´all amazing and we are with you Madoxx ! Let's make beatboxing great again ! #NotMyFriend
First and foremost, thank you for bringing this to light , it takes a ton of courage to start these type of conversations. I’ve been following this community for along time and I’ve got to say this is heartbreaking. You are all extremely talented individuals that should be getting the world wide recognition you all deserve. This video especially has opened my eyes to the things that were going on in the background and I hope this starts a change in the positive direction.
The ultimate Man of Culture. We are here for you and willing to solve this problem with the community together. Thank you for both of your courage and time on sharing.
Madox, sharing your experiences honestly on your platform will undoubtedly contribute to the rebranding and restructuring of this community. I applaud you for doing what you believe is right and going against a whole company
Hey Madox and Rachel, take my energy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ as the proverb says, All's Well That Ends Well, I'm glad that that things ended for you thanks for the sincere discussion ❤
I absolutely LOVE the idea of Vocal Masters, and I hope that it happens soon! Keep your head up Madox, you are of great value to the bbx community! Legend 🤙
Way to go Rachel and Maddox. We need to push Pepouni out of the scene entirely and will not stop until it's done. HE'S out of control and Napom stop defending him based on your live video last few weeks!
It’s hard because we can’t even really talk about the worst things, they are too messed up, and the language in and of itself would get the Content removed 😢
@@domina_beatbox3732 You should still try to be transparent about it (presuming no legal issues). Maybe through Instagram or something, with proper trigger warnings etc so it isn't reported
There is nothing worse than working with a toxic narcissist as a boss. You can’t even be 100% mad at them because this is simply how they are. They truly believe the world revolves around them and everyone needs to bend over backwards to do everything for them. I recently broke off contact with someone after yet another bullshit move on their behalf and told them to seek professional help. I truly believe this is what Pepouni might benefit from as well. I know we haven’t heard his side, but this is bringing back a lot of triggering experiences for me.
Only started taking notice of beatbox early 2018 and got instantly hooked and got to be introduced to so many talented beatboxers from all around the world ... Thanks to you and Rachel for exposing a man who clearly just cares about himself and how much money he can make himself and total disregard to his employees let alone all various artists that has helped make what SBX what it is today ..... Hopefully Pepouni does the right thing and leave the company and let a hardworking dedicated passionate team who care about the artists and the community take over.. I can see the pain all this has caused Rachel and Maddox two people trying to make the world a better place by showcasing talented beatboxers but sadly one man who clearly is manipulative and nasty to his employees using his power for bad instead of good and taking all the credit for other peoples hard work but sadly the world has people like that .... Maddox i love all your videos this episode was very eye opening same as the episode with Spencer x .... Keep up the great work ....
Seriously someone start a petition or something. This needs to stop, now. How do I get involved more? As a fan for over a decade I really want to know.
@Legerg of Feedroid not 100% sure year round, but I know they have the KC beatbox battle annually and there's usually events around that. Bet you'd maybe make some connections there 😊
It saddens me to hear about how poorly you guys are being treated; I've been beatboxing for five years and have always looked up to you, Chezame. Trung bao everyone who has contributed to this community I assumed you guys are living the dream, beatboxing for a livelihood and spreading this awesome culture. How happy I would be if I were the one witnessing this family's growth from that vantage point, but no one knows how cruel it is behind the scenes. I am also attempting to start something with my own power, but since I am currently occupied with college and other obligations, I will leave this comment as an ensign and return in couple of years, at which point we may be working together. Stay courageous, Madox, and keep fighting! By creating these videos, you are inspiring individuals like me, and in my case, it is much-needed inspiration from you! Thank you Madox.
Very informative of the behind the scenes and politics. I think this is an opportunity to create your own company with the values you both spoke of continuously throughout this talk and create a true community that pushes the art and supports and develops artists both well known and come ups.
This is just crazy. Beatboxers need to stand up and boycott next GBBs and events made by swissbeatbox... I know it may be a dream to be able to do that. However, full support to the community. (just a viewer and enjoyer of beatbox)
This feels like psychopathic behavior. He doesn't care about others (those that he does "care" about are most likely stepping stones for his success), manipulative, narcissistic, impulsive, etc. I really hope Chezame opens up about this because I'm curious about his side of the story
IMO the best way to dethrone GBB is to create a bigger and more prestigious event as well as a federation for beatboxers. In the new format make judges also create content too at competitons, more than a judge showcase.( Alot of great content is lost by judges not creating years after they won) Allow beatboxers to charge for coaching and their own merch for audience members after the show in stalls. The new organization should have a focus on free flow of information and community. Afterall no one learns everything without the help of others.
All well and good but who has the start up for that? They could definitely get something rolling though if some of the bigger artists would come out publicly, stand together and make a statement that they wanna go with a new brand that looks after its staff and artists as well as the wider community and fans.
It is honestly eye opening to finally get to hear a little bit of *why* sbb seems so chaotic even though there were obviously very professionally put events and videos behind it all but I guess I have my answer now: some people are just not meant to take on a *business role* but for some reason think that the only way to be successful or even respected is to also try to handle things that they're very obviously not equipped to handle. So the lesson should be simple: You can still be respected and successful with your small-but-growing business if you just stay on as a majority shareholder and just hire someone who's an actual business person (Or in this case, *listen and give authority* to them since they were very obviously there already) to just run the business side. Small businesses 9 out of 10 time end up ruining friendships and such exactly because of this situations in which people are terrible at the *business* side and take it personal if someone points that out.
You know what you cant escape Pepouni? The TRUTH, i hope that everyone leaves "your" company. And they get what they deserve where you failed miserably. To all the people who stay at swissbeatbox, check your morals, your morals are far more valuable than any "friend" a REAL friend isnt a toxic piece of garbage. Kudos to these people having the COURAGE to speak up against a tyrant. Love to all my brothers and sisters.
All the big beatboxers should just come together and make the best beatbox events. They should just brainstorm for some cool stuff or something. I believe that there is A LOT of potential in the beatbox community.
@@biledox5576 I understand that not every beatboxers has the financial means to invest in a big event. But I believe that beatboxers don't just beatbox all the time in their spare time. Most of them have jobs and do the art for love. But talking about the events concern, it should not be AGT production or big budget stuff, but something like GBB 2015 or 2016 and build up from there.
This is fucking wild. Psychopathic behavior by everyone's friend Pepouni. Nauseating. Big props to Madox, Rachel and the other who's unafraid to spread the word.
As a youtube fan of watching all these beatbox videos it is sickening to see whats behind the curtain. Keep posting the truth , everyone should watch this. If you love beatbox and love the artists then love the idea of treating them fairly.
Damn 14:52 is a very serious accusation 😮 If this is true and she can prove it then Swissbeatbox is going into the bin. Also his private messages to her if she ever shows them then he can be sued 😳
When I saw the wild cards for GBB 2023 I was really hyped! but now to hear that so many things are going wrong in the SBX community ..... makes me very sad and I really hope that one day things will change for the better😢
I'm feeling so low after this also the cases happened previously like Tom wunknown and so much makes me hate beatboxing sometime but after seeing good people who work hard for good life like dlow helium vocodah and many more makes me feel happy
I've been commenting on beatboxers channels for almost a year that "Pepouni IS NOT YOUR FRIEND❗" to every beatboxer that thanks him as a friend. Funny how nobody ever commented back. 😂
Madox why don't you try to reach Justin from beatbox international or even chezane or all of you to create a event that the price for it was a share from a community patreon or something like that, that obviously pay the right amount to everyone involved in creating the event, and the top 5 or 10 artists of the event with shared prize base by placement.
Great episode! Very mind-cleansing on how bad company practices work. Hopefully people will now understand that ignoring (=allowing) bad practices of a beatbox company, is not "caring for the community" lol. Quite the opposite.
I’m sorry, but greed is a not good thing and now that this information is coming out by basically THE employees not just any employees, but possibly the most important employees he had, Madox with his absolutely amazing videography the sound production team I could go on and on I dunno who all worked at this company, but jealousy and greed are not good. Thanks for releasing this video this sheds more light on how the company operated, just wish he can learn from this otherwise he won’t have anyone to work for him in that brand
Thank you for this video!! I hope people start to see this person for who he really is and stop supporting his company!! that is the best and more effective way to get rid of the bad apple.
FYI Legally they did do something wrong, you can't coerce people to sign contracts. In most jurisdiction that will render the contract null and void. If people provided with lengthy legal contracts, out of the blue, on arrival, in a language they didn't understand and were pressured to sign immediately.... those contracts are almost certainly void.
I always wondered why I don't see beatboxers on other platforms, like movies or whatever. Besides the financial problems with his team which is messed up in the first place, he keeps the world from being exposed to beatbox unless you go into the beatbox scene!
The tutorials were more than a good idea bro. Lots of people want to beatbox and need help to get started that’s actually incredibly important so it’s upsetting he tried to keep you from that.
Yep yep.. beatbox school beatbox lessons at one point they did have beatboxers give lessons if I remember SBBX Academy? Lol no one mentioned that. But yeah anyways BBX was never meant to go mainstream it was always underground should remain maybe partially just like rapping. Some rappers popular some are not.
That's why I always tell people to sign contracts that includes a fair pay. Strange what happens when you give a little bit of power in hands of an insecure human.
He’s got hit live stream up explaining his experiences, and I feel like the views will tank if they do the topic too much. (Except this one, which seems to have a lot of new info). Hopefully more constructive directions the scene can go in in the future.
Just out of curiosity. Europe bbx champs are this weekend in Gratz. Winner is qualified to compete in Tokyo. What if You Madox will grab first place ? Will You go to gbb23 in Tokyo to compete or will You resign? 👀
@@B-ArtBeatbox B-art quick question, short answer is fine. I have this inward sound that uses the vibration of my uvulla and tounge, it sounds very "dubstep-ish" when i add a high pitch voice. Idk what this sound is called do you happen to know what this is?
Man it must hurt to see the person you used to be friends with and worked so hard for to just turn around and give you nothing back except hatred and abuse
I guess Pepouni supports slavery; making people work with basically no compensation is history textbook definition of slavery. What a terrible, cruel human being he is to not look after the people who make him all his money

Madox, sharing your experiences honestly on your platform will undoubtedly contribute to the rebranding and restructuring of this community. I applaud you for doing what you believe is right and going against a whole company
Oh man the hurt on Maddox face when pepouni talked bad about him :( im so sorry maddox stay strong!❤ your ideas were and are amazing.
Hey Madox and Rachel, take my energy ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
as the proverb says, All's Well That Ends Well, I'm glad that that things ended for you
thanks for the sincere discussion ❤
I absolutely LOVE the idea of Vocal Masters, and I hope that it happens soon! Keep your head up Madox, you are of great value to the bbx community! Legend 🤙
Way to go Rachel and Maddox. We need to push Pepouni out of the scene entirely and will not stop until it's done. HE'S out of control and Napom stop defending him based on your live video last few weeks!
It’s hard because we can’t even really talk about the worst things, they are too messed up, and the language in and of itself would get the Content removed 😢
@@domina_beatbox3732 You should still try to be transparent about it (presuming no legal issues). Maybe through Instagram or something, with proper trigger warnings etc so it isn't reported
dude it's madox not maddox
@@domina_beatbox3732 There has to be other sites/platforms that will allow it and just telling people where to find it.
@@radfaraf odysee
There is nothing worse than working with a toxic narcissist as a boss. You can’t even be 100% mad at them because this is simply how they are. They truly believe the world revolves around them and everyone needs to bend over backwards to do everything for them. I recently broke off contact with someone after yet another bullshit move on their behalf and told them to seek professional help. I truly believe this is what Pepouni might benefit from as well. I know we haven’t heard his side, but this is bringing back a lot of triggering experiences for me.
Lol the girl is a snake too. She’s definitely using too many excuses. I can see her talking like that with anyone..
Only started taking notice of beatbox early 2018 and got instantly hooked and got to be introduced to so many talented beatboxers from all around the world ... Thanks to you and Rachel for exposing a man who clearly just cares about himself and how much money he can make himself and total disregard to his employees let alone all various artists that has helped make what SBX what it is today ..... Hopefully Pepouni does the right thing and leave the company and let a hardworking dedicated passionate team who care about the artists and the community take over.. I can see the pain all this has caused Rachel and Maddox two people trying to make the world a better place by showcasing talented beatboxers but sadly one man who clearly is manipulative and nasty to his employees using his power for bad instead of good and taking all the credit for other peoples hard work but sadly the world has people like that .... Maddox i love all your videos this episode was very eye opening same as the episode with Spencer x .... Keep up the great work ....
Seriously someone start a petition or something. This needs to stop, now. How do I get involved more? As a fan for over a decade I really want to know.
Im from KC as well, love the growing community here. Glad to see us represented well in the world ❤️. Thank you
KC bros unite! I've only been here a few years but I need to go to an event sometime! Where/when do beatboxers get together in KC?
@Legerg of Feedroid not 100% sure year round, but I know they have the KC beatbox battle annually and there's usually events around that. Bet you'd maybe make some connections there 😊
@@cloverghoul6337 thanks man!
pepouni is a visionary, he knows that madox is going to build a new beatbox platform and eat swisbeatbox alive.FACTS
It saddens me to hear about how poorly you guys are being treated; I've been beatboxing for five years and have always looked up to you, Chezame. Trung bao everyone who has contributed to this community I assumed you guys are living the dream, beatboxing for a livelihood and spreading this awesome culture. How happy I would be if I were the one witnessing this family's growth from that vantage point, but no one knows how cruel it is behind the scenes. I am also attempting to start something with my own power, but since I am currently occupied with college and other obligations, I will leave this comment as an ensign and return in couple of years, at which point we may be working together. Stay courageous, Madox, and keep fighting! By creating these videos, you are inspiring individuals like me, and in my case, it is much-needed inspiration from you! Thank you Madox.
Thanks!
Very informative of the behind the scenes and politics. I think this is an opportunity to create your own company with the values you both spoke of continuously throughout this talk and create a true community that pushes the art and supports and develops artists both well known and come ups.
This is just crazy. Beatboxers need to stand up and boycott next GBBs and events made by swissbeatbox... I know it may be a dream to be able to do that. However, full support to the community. (just a viewer and enjoyer of beatbox)
This brings the light to alot of things us, the audience trying to get into the scene as pro beatboxers. Big ups for the dedication for the community
This feels like psychopathic behavior. He doesn't care about others (those that he does "care" about are most likely stepping stones for his success), manipulative, narcissistic, impulsive, etc. I really hope Chezame opens up about this because I'm curious about his side of the story
IMO the best way to dethrone GBB is to create a bigger and more prestigious event as well as a federation for beatboxers. In the new format make judges also create content too at competitons, more than a judge showcase.( Alot of great content is lost by judges not creating years after they won)
Allow beatboxers to charge for coaching and their own merch for audience members after the show in stalls.
The new organization should have a focus on free flow of information and community. Afterall no one learns everything without the help of others.
All well and good but who has the start up for that? They could definitely get something rolling though if some of the bigger artists would come out publicly, stand together and make a statement that they wanna go with a new brand that looks after its staff and artists as well as the wider community and fans.
LET'S GO MADOX! I respect you even more because of this bro!
please bring chezame to the table
It is honestly eye opening to finally get to hear a little bit of *why* sbb seems so chaotic even though there were obviously very professionally put events and videos behind it all but I guess I have my answer now: some people are just not meant to take on a *business role* but for some reason think that the only way to be successful or even respected is to also try to handle things that they're very obviously not equipped to handle.
So the lesson should be simple: You can still be respected and successful with your small-but-growing business if you just stay on as a majority shareholder and just hire someone who's an actual business person (Or in this case, *listen and give authority* to them since they were very obviously there already) to just run the business side. Small businesses 9 out of 10 time end up ruining friendships and such exactly because of this situations in which people are terrible at the *business* side and take it personal if someone points that out.
U can do it Madox! Don't get discouraged by others comments or words! Truth is divine
You know what you cant escape Pepouni? The TRUTH, i hope that everyone leaves "your" company. And they get what they deserve where you failed miserably. To all the people who stay at swissbeatbox, check your morals, your morals are far more valuable than any "friend" a REAL friend isnt a toxic piece of garbage. Kudos to these people having the COURAGE to speak up against a tyrant. Love to all my brothers and sisters.
All the big beatboxers should just come together and make the best beatbox events.
They should just brainstorm for some cool stuff or something. I believe that there is A LOT of potential in the beatbox community.
How would they make a big event? They never got paid by sbx, so they probably don't have enough money to afford such an event
@@biledox5576 I understand that not every beatboxers has the financial means to invest in a big event.
But I believe that beatboxers don't just beatbox all the time in their spare time. Most of them have jobs and do the art for love.
But talking about the events concern, it should not be AGT production or big budget stuff, but something like GBB 2015 or 2016 and build up from there.
Im never watching a swissbestbox video again 😢
This is just the beginning of beatbox…
pepouni deactivated his social medias lol
This is fucking wild. Psychopathic behavior by everyone's friend Pepouni.
Nauseating.
Big props to Madox, Rachel and the other who's unafraid to spread the word.
Pepouni is a sociopath
We have your back madox!!!
As a youtube fan of watching all these beatbox videos it is sickening to see whats behind the curtain. Keep posting the truth , everyone should watch this. If you love beatbox and love the artists then love the idea of treating them fairly.
Damn 14:52 is a very serious accusation 😮 If this is true and she can prove it then Swissbeatbox is going into the bin. Also his private messages to her if she ever shows them then he can be sued 😳
When I saw the wild cards for GBB 2023 I was really hyped! but now to hear that so many things are going wrong in the SBX community ..... makes me very sad and I really hope that one day things will change for the better😢
I'm very sad to hear that you won't be able to come to GBB in Japan. I love the contents you create.
The pure quality and dedication Madox has in his work is outstanding. Continue doing it! Collab with Chezame and Sxin and do something big together
I would love to see this type of Interview with Shazam
Omg that you had to wait outside for hours was a calculated punishment… omg 🙈 you should make a short of this scene this is just crazy
I'm feeling so low after this also the cases happened previously like Tom wunknown and so much makes me hate beatboxing sometime but after seeing good people who work hard for good life like dlow helium vocodah and many more makes me feel happy
''My friend pepouni'' will never sound the same ever again... damn (I'm erasing his autograph lol💀)
I've been commenting on beatboxers channels for almost a year that "Pepouni IS NOT YOUR FRIEND❗" to every beatboxer that thanks him as a friend. Funny how nobody ever commented back. 😂
Madox why don't you try to reach Justin from beatbox international or even chezane or all of you to create a event that the price for it was a share from a community patreon or something like that, that obviously pay the right amount to everyone involved in creating the event, and the top 5 or 10 artists of the event with shared prize base by placement.
Damn wth. The more I know, the worse I feel for supporting it...
So sad, hopefully you both are out of this now, wish you the best !
Great episode! Very mind-cleansing on how bad company practices work.
Hopefully people will now understand that ignoring (=allowing) bad practices of a beatbox company, is not "caring for the community" lol. Quite the opposite.
MADOX COMING OUT FIRING
WOW. Pepouni has to respond to this serious allegation. I can't say anything, yet. Unless i heard from the both sides.
I wonder if he ever will if he can even say anything? So many claims
I’m sorry, but greed is a not good thing and now that this information is coming out by basically THE employees not just any employees, but possibly the most important employees he had, Madox with his absolutely amazing videography the sound production team I could go on and on I dunno who all worked at this company, but jealousy and greed are not good. Thanks for releasing this video this sheds more light on how the company operated, just wish he can learn from this otherwise he won’t have anyone to work for him in that brand
It’s funny bc if sbx tried to do their tactics in the USA then they would’ve been hit w so many lawsuits lmaoo
True
Thank you for this video!! I hope people start to see this person for who he really is and stop supporting his company!! that is the best and more effective way to get rid of the bad apple.
FYI Legally they did do something wrong, you can't coerce people to sign contracts. In most jurisdiction that will render the contract null and void. If people provided with lengthy legal contracts, out of the blue, on arrival, in a language they didn't understand and were pressured to sign immediately.... those contracts are almost certainly void.
Someone needs to start a channel called WorldBeatBox and share the love with everyone from anywhere
I never wanted to hug a man, that I don't even know, so bad!
Great video and thank you to you both for sharing your stories. But to everyone else - just remember there's always another side to the story.
That's what's being done right now manager of the companys view and the worker/editors view
@@harritran8284 maybe he mean Pepounis view (?)
I always wondered why I don't see beatboxers on other platforms, like movies or whatever. Besides the financial problems with his team which is messed up in the first place, he keeps the world from being exposed to beatbox unless you go into the beatbox scene!
wait... What? I see beatbox every where.
i think i know why b-art sat this one out
bruh why? ☠️
It is Hemelvaart and there were a lot of events in the Netherlands. So maybe he had some family commitments. Stop the cap bro
B-Art had to work last week and could not join the interview. We spoke to each other and decided, that I (Madox) can do this video alone.
@@beatbox_bros good to know, i assumed it was because he could have felt uncomfortable with this topic but i was wrong. thanks for clearing that up
The tutorials were more than a good idea bro. Lots of people want to beatbox and need help to get started that’s actually incredibly important so it’s upsetting he tried to keep you from that.
Yep yep.. beatbox school beatbox lessons at one point they did have beatboxers give lessons if I remember SBBX Academy? Lol no one mentioned that. But yeah anyways BBX was never meant to go mainstream it was always underground should remain maybe partially just like rapping. Some rappers popular some are not.
That's why I always tell people to sign contracts that includes a fair pay.
Strange what happens when you give a little bit of power in hands of an insecure human.
Imagine next Beatbox Bros Episode with Pepouni himself
Heartbreaking
Madox didn't deserve such treatment :')
We really need dkoy on the podcast next!
He’s got hit live stream up explaining his experiences, and I feel like the views will tank if they do the topic too much. (Except this one, which seems to have a lot of new info). Hopefully more constructive directions the scene can go in in the future.
NO
@@GetCareless arent u banned from canadian events
Thanks
Just out of curiosity. Europe bbx champs are this weekend in Gratz. Winner is qualified to compete in Tokyo.
What if You Madox will grab first place ? Will You go to gbb23 in Tokyo to compete or will You resign? 👀
Hahaha I think I know the answer 😂
@@B-ArtBeatbox B-art quick question, short answer is fine. I have this inward sound that uses the vibration of my uvulla and tounge, it sounds very "dubstep-ish" when i add a high pitch voice. Idk what this sound is called do you happen to know what this is?
If European champs asks me to give my rights away to Swissbeatbox uploading my rounds I will refuse to enter the stage.
Also under the current circumstances I would not compete at GBB.
Madox you could win and then be on GBB stage and for your elimination hold a 4 minute speech starting with: "I have a dream.."
I think you should cut and reshare bits of this podcast because i really think this is important to be now, even upload ir in your main chanel
Madox your awesome and i love what you do. You have a great brand and i think youre doing a good thing talking about this.
Man it must hurt to see the person you used to be friends with and worked so hard for to just turn around and give you nothing back except hatred and abuse
I guess Pepouni supports slavery; making people work with basically no compensation is history textbook definition of slavery. What a terrible, cruel human being he is to not look after the people who make him all his money
