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
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.
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.
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.
Negro that head drop was a TKO.... Watching that move will stick with you for the rest of your life none of that stuff that was rememberable it was good but it wasn't rememberable...TKO retro winning flawless victory.... That was the finishing move on the first move
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
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)
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
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!!
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^^^
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
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?)
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.
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.
***** ROFL... That comment is Jacked up !!!! The Krumpers are going to get you now !!! They going to make you dance around as if you were Michael Jackson in the making of Thiller 2 music video ! Cheeyeaahhh Cheeyyaaaahh Awwwwwww (your anthem) LOL
anyone else get bugged by people in the background acting like they've never seen dancing before? supporting your crew is a must in all, but screaming at every dance move like it's the craziest thing you've ever seen is way over the top.
Clearly ain't Retro's style of music, but still, he could've adapted better to the music than he did. As for Tight Eyez, this was shit compared to how he usually dances. TE wins, but just cause this was krump music
Eh I prefer The second guy, he is not double jointed he had to work hard to stretch the ligaments far enough to be able to move his arms like that, the first guy kindof looked stupid in my opinion.
For the people that say krump doesn't make any sense it's because your not a real dancer and you can't understand it i don't even krump but it makes perfect sense to people that can appreciate it
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.
I'm so glad I'm half Native American and have more black friends than any other ethnicity. I agree with you even though I actually count as a white person since I'm half Caucasian and half Native American.

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

People don't understand how RAW and COLD TURF was! A Freakin Legend Bro!
Krump is underrated its fucking hard its hitting every beat with your body expressing your emotion, I love it
Rody Swagger Haaaaard! Beastmode from beginning to end.
Rody Swagger it's easy lol but I was in a group when I was like 13 haha and I'm black so it's not natural
Retro's first move is an illusion
He did it when he battled another krumper named milk years before this

Cheesy blanket intro. Everything after that was sweet.
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
Every move tight eyes made his crew made noise, about to cry and everything. Lol!! So funny
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?)
turfing is about story telling. it came from popping. if you aren't from the bay, you wouldn't know that though.
So what category would you put lying in a blanket under?? Raw emotion? Or Flashy??
One of the best battles ever 💯
The first move by retro I automatically thought he won
Same...
It's okay to be wrong...that's what my mommy taught me
tight eyez won?
Brian Belcher that's the only move that got him some of that rounds
First move killed eyez
Factsss
Literally everything he said on ABDC and the fact that he krumps to songs that he wrote and recorded himself are enough proof.
when retro did that head drop thang man! that was dope!
The instrumental combined with Retro's dancing made this dance competition video AWESOME.
If Retro did more dancing along with contouring he'd be perfect
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.
dont get me wrong , i really love tight eyez and retro . but this battle is srusly stupid .
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Are you alive Ben?
This is *the Black thing* so you didn't get it bro.
6:40 OH MY FREAKIN GOD
Retro lost badly in this one... He was out of moves, we seen him do it all.

@@nancybreaux9684 😂😂😂
I've never seen anyone like TURF, you're AWESOME!
MY BONES HURT! LORD JESUS!
Seizure dance VS. Contortion dance is more accurate.
Every type of dance needs to evolve, it can't just forever stay the same. It's just getting better.
did you SEE the CHick in GLASSES lol hahahahhahahahhahahahahhahahahahah 5:04
5:17..lmao
why is this a battle.. two different things
Tight eyes got that one. The 2nd dude just looks like he was a contortionist. All he showed was that he was double jointed
His arm came off his shoulder nobody ask you good already scream Oooooooooooo!!! LMAO
tighteyez did it!! dont know bout ole boi with the glasses, keep that, didnt do nothing for me.
Only Tight Eyez can do an entrance like this!
lmao..1:38..the fuck is that guy doin to homeboy in the purple hat
look at him at 4:07 too
Once he started off with the moonwalk it was already over u knew LMAOOoo
Lebron James krumps?
Hit the ballerina twirl 🌀 that really had them like 🌀__🌀 woaaahhhhh LMAOO 8:52
They should of change the music for Retro. Krump music does not blend with his style.
he showed he can do what ever beat..lol
way cooler Yeah, he still went at it.
***** ROFL... That comment is Jacked up !!!! The Krumpers are going to get you now !!! They going to make you dance around as if you were Michael Jackson in the making of Thiller 2 music video ! Cheeyeaahhh Cheeyyaaaahh Awwwwwww (your anthem) LOL
***** yea krump aint easy as it looks..
I agree. Though i have no idea what fits "Bone Crushing Dance+Combined w/Contortionist".
anyone else get bugged by people in the background acting like they've never seen dancing before? supporting your crew is a must in all, but screaming at every dance move like it's the craziest thing you've ever seen is way over the top.
that was fucking embarissing
love it turf keep doing your thing homie, much love from the land down under
Clearly ain't Retro's style of music, but still, he could've adapted better to the music than he did. As for Tight Eyez, this was shit compared to how he usually dances. TE wins, but just cause this was krump music
4:46 this is worth to watch from this point again for checking the expression of each of the mates on the stage. LOL
Tight eyezs is the beast
I stand corrected, and thank you for noticing that, i'm glad you got the joke.
First Guy is mad creative,, I can do without all the team yelling tho. The Second guy is double jointed.
Eh I prefer The second guy, he is not double jointed he had to work hard to stretch the ligaments far enough to be able to move his arms like that, the first guy kindof looked stupid in my opinion.
Vincent Melendez the second guy did recycled moves he does all the time though.
TIght Eyez got his own personal stage on that hair line brrruh
tight eyez hairline doe
this video is still live but I can't believe that this is six years old
The turfing person is okay when it comes to turfing but he has no musicality, not entertaining
Mastertogo929 Yea, I agree. There was absolutely no musicality there.

+Javier Sims I know, but when it comes to battling it's better to mess with the beat.
+Sheldon M. thats true though

We all know terry crew is a better krumper.
Had to re watch this awesome gem!!!
Eyes won...
AND THAT IS WHAT YOU CALL A ONE SIDED CROWN, 2ND DUDE DID HIS THING
that look creepy
holy shit.. the body isolations are inCREDible!! :-O
The gay underwear thing ruined it for me.
oooh woooooe he snuggled himself up in a blanket and found the way out all by himself! whicked moves!
I've seen an epileptic seizure with better moves true story
Damn I'm 30 ... I was like 16 watching this shit ... I can honestly say this generation couldn't fw our battle Dancers back then
that intro suck
weird
I expected this to b a krumping competition.
Retro won
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.

tight easy all he is doing is moving his legs he sucks
u suck
Tight Eyez got this one. Its the age old battle of someone who has foundation vs. someone with a bunch of tricks
It depends how hard you go. most people love it and wish they can do it.
Dat shoulder mobility!
That head drop retro did was sweet!
damn, never knew this existed. RETROOOOOO whatup kidd. respect for reppin the Bay, for real.
back flip & the crowd goes wild lol
Can't get over 2:33 - 2:36!
Also, is there a mix present for this?
its a combination of flexing, popping, gliding, waving, and trickery.
Back when krumping is very emotional dance
yes it's a dance if didn't notice turf is bonebreaking and tight eyez is krumping
It all goes back to the Real Essence of Hip Hop . The Electric Boogie.
WHO IN THE HELL IS THAT RUBBER BAND MAN?!?!? DAMNNNNNNN!!!!!
turf dancing is smooth and great
haha damn he messin up his hat tricks at 2:23 lol
I had the opportunity to watch Tight Eyez in Argentina, hes everything
Before seeing this I always thought Krump was fake. Little did I know Jordan Peele portrayed this kind of dance so accurately.
That Ain't Tight Eyes , That's Lebron ! W/ His Receding Ass Hairline Lmao
both dudes r FRESH. in 2 diff styles. excellent piece. enjoyed watching both sides. they r both dope.
Legendary battle krump/ turf dance
this is a subdivision of interpretive dancing expressing life in urban america
Tight Eyez is one of my inspirations to dance. But yall niggas needa stop hatin and respect both dance styles. They both did they thang.
I thought jerking was dumb, but after I saw turfing, I found a new respect for jerkers.
Retro was the turfing version of a pizza slice man he was so smooth and original
Saucy
I was born in 2001 and I love both of them they're great
The philly or foreali LMAOOO
I want to see the double jointed kid form into a spider shape and pretend to web the other guy back into his bag.
1:13 the guy on the front goes whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat
KILLED IT
WOW! what a battle.
I'm so glad I'm half Native American and have more black friends than any other ethnicity. I agree with you even though I actually count as a white person since I'm half Caucasian and half Native American.
