the video is perfect but the title is odd. its a 4v4 and the next guy up has the same track as kite. kites team went first so slim isnt really battling kite here hes battling the guy who went before the vid started
I was there. His pops were very visible and especially the ones where he popped from the feet, you could see it all happen very well. It's one thing on video, and entirely another thing live.
both of them killed the beats. However, Kite got the soul of the song. He made me believe that the song is just for him. And that is the most important thing in art. :)
They didn't battle each other. It was basically a crew vs crew battle "USA vs Japan" and kite didn't kill slim since they didn't battle kite just simply killed the track.
Yes this is "Kite's song" since i saw him dance to this really wel in another vid of his, but its not like he went up to the dj and requested for him to play it when he wud come to battle. Im pretty sure it was just a coincidence that a song Kite knows inside out came on when he went to go battle. A lot of songs come on that a popper knows somtimes and they kill it on the dance floor, and kite did the same, so he is still amazing :)
For all you saying it doesn't matter the song, well it does. Kite has performed to this song so many times, hes probably practiced to it a million, he knows what works, he knows exactly when the beat hits, he knows what the crowd will like, he can cater his entire routine to the song because he knows every microsecond of it. Not to say he isn't good, hes one of my favorite poppers.
@omidrez kite always dances to that song so its no surprise that he would know that song by heart... if you look at salah (not sure if you can get a good view of him) when heartbreaker started playing and when kite went up to do his round salah was like "watch this"... a good example would be kite doing an exhibition during SDK 2009..
Popping Kite was just really built differently before his leg surgery. I mean, he's still top-tier worldwide but he was called "crazy legs" for a reason.
@FuManChu yeah all Kite's big moves in this routine are based in the musicality he gets from knowing the song really well. Kinda cheese in a battle. Good call guy!
Slim was amazingly technical and musical then....BOOM! Kite just blows him away. he takes a faster, harder song and makes it his bitch! Suddenly, what Slim did looks mediocre
@1988OMESH What?! If you had eyes you could see that J Smooth points at Bionic, then Bionic, while looking at Pharside, points at Pharside saying he's already going. And he def didn't smoke all in that one round, he just knew the song, and is a badass as well.
for all those who think kite did not freestyle this and it was staged check this comment out from someone on youtube "Yes this is "Kite's song" since i saw him dance to this really well in another vid of his, but its not like he went up to the dj and requested for him to play it when he wud come to battle. Im pretty sure it was just a coincidence that a song Kite knows inside out came on when he went to go battle. A lot of songs come on that a popper knows somtimes and they kill it on the floor
@Gundamknight2423 ... yeah - after re-reading my post, I didn't mean to diss Kite, just am a bigger fan of Slim and his surgical tightness. I couldn't agree more - it is just a difference in styles, and both are remarkable fo shizz. Thanks. 1 love.
Slim Boogie is nasty... Gotta remember the beat changed. Kite killed his beat, Slim killed his... IMO if Slim would have caught that second track, he would have got him. Both atre nice no doubt, but Slim has the edge.
I did not see a lot of hittin' in Kite's routine.....it looked more like him just gliding around the floor.......maybe its my computer, maybe it cannot capture the speed of Kite.
I gotta agree with most of the other comments on the video. Kite and Slim both murdered their beats but, forreals, Kite should never get beats like that. That's straight up god-mode for him. They both have way different styles though, so you can't really declare either one the winner.
@sw24will I understand what you mean, I fact I agree completely. Kite has his own style of popping and he masters it with great individuality. My point simply is that I didn't care much for his style :) I would like to see him slow it down some times. Its hard to explain, for example Boogie Frantick is substance over hype, he slows it way down and still gets the crowd jumping out their seats. That is hard to do because the crowd usually responds to high energy/ hype. But Kite is still a beast!!
@shanegrooves U can't say he's automatically the better dancer just because he has tighter technicality or skills. There's more to it than that. Don't get me wrong, i got mad love for slim boogie and his style, but it doesn't make him the "undeniably" better dancer. It's all jsut different styles and both are remarkable. Hope you don't take this the wrong way xD, but i'm glad u have an opinion and at least u didn't bash :P,
@shanegrooves I saw ur repost but still. Really, they battled for fun and popping isnt about hitting 24/7 or doing anything like that. It's more like feeling the beat. And you can do that in different ways. Pz
Slim's performance was so much tighter technically it's ridiculous. Obviously Kite got skills too, but Slim was undeniably the better dancer - especially popper in this battle. The fact that the crowd gave so much love to Kite pisses me off. Slim was so sick I'm surprised anyone could follow that - especially get more love from the audience. They must not have seen the same thing I did. Crazy.
@MelbourneMaster you have to understand there are many styles under poppin. there is robotic like what madd chadd does, there is waving, tutting, boogaloo, and crazy legs. kite style of poppin is crazy legs/boogaloo, so it is not hype. every popper has there own style. salah, does waving and tutting, and kite's style of poppin is crazy legs. so kite is very skilled at what he does. and of course kite is going to kill this beat, he has danced to it many times before.
@FuManChu Do they get to choose the music they dance to? Or do they just practice to a lot of different music? Btw, are you still battling anymore these days?
2023 are still alive guys ?
2024😅
2025 ?@@ledao4328
had to replay kites part atleast 1000 times
I have replayed 100 times
LMAOOO ME
I have been watching this for over 8 years lol
I will watch this video when I feel my life is dark
He's something else man kite. It was over when he got the stage. Even Salah was like watch this, u gotta watch this shit. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯💯🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
the best moves of popping history
the video is perfect but the title is odd. its a 4v4 and the next guy up has the same track as kite. kites team went first so slim isnt really battling kite here hes battling the guy who went before the vid started
Wow man..Kite went nuts on that stage. This has got to be one of the most entertaining battles I have ever seen.
Kite, a monster, as usual. First time I've seen Slim Boogie in action...WOW! His style is mesmerizing...
I was there. His pops were very visible and especially the ones where he popped from the feet, you could see it all happen very well.
It's one thing on video, and entirely another thing live.
both of them killed the beats. However, Kite got the soul of the song. He made me believe that the song is just for him. And that is the most important thing in art. :)
i can watch dis over and over
Thats funny how jsmooth was even thinkin "ohhhh my GAWD" and looking around to see his team's reactions...then he was like O_o
dangggg, you got such a prime view of the battle!
excellent quality and everything!
you can never get tired of watching kite
thanks for uploading
I can see myself doing all of that in my dreams, just can't do it in real life if u know what I mean. :P
We all want this version of kite🔥🔥🔥
lol at 1:28 we can hear salah saying:" aaaah c'est son son" which mean "aah its his song" , hehe he predicted kite to kill it
Popping Hous French!
When Kite got on the floor, Salah told the rest : "c'est son song !" - It's his song.
Legendary battle ..... Aiiight!
song 1: kano : home sweet home (instrumental).
song 2 : michael jackson : heartbreaker (instrumental ).
They didn't battle each other. It was basically a crew vs crew battle "USA vs Japan" and kite didn't kill slim since they didn't battle kite just simply killed the track.
so crazy
Yes this is "Kite's song" since i saw him dance to this really wel in another vid of his, but its not like he went up to the dj and requested for him to play it when he wud come to battle.

A lot of songs come on that a popper knows somtimes and they kill it on the dance floor, and kite did the same, so he is still amazing :)
That was sick.
reason why kite killed it cause he brought alot of energy to battle.. like always kite footwork is amazing
여지껏 본 카이트 무빙중 쵝오엿음 역대 팝핀 역사에 손꼽힐 무빙
The speed of his leg foot is insane
For all you saying it doesn't matter the song, well it does. Kite has performed to this song so many times, hes probably practiced to it a million, he knows what works, he knows exactly when the beat hits, he knows what the crowd will like, he can cater his entire routine to the song because he knows every microsecond of it. Not to say he isn't good, hes one of my favorite poppers.
Oh shit!!! how many times xD
is it me or was Kite's battle completely orchestrated with practice to that song? you tell me...cause that was a little bit too good to be improv
epic times
Mad love to both poppers! i frigign' love slim boogie and kite. Kinda hard to tell who won that round
@omidrez kite always dances to that song so its no surprise that he would know that song by heart... if you look at salah (not sure if you can get a good view of him) when heartbreaker started playing and when kite went up to do his round salah was like "watch this"...
a good example would be kite doing an exhibition during SDK 2009..
Popping Kite was just really built differently before his leg surgery.
I mean, he's still top-tier worldwide but he was called "crazy legs" for a reason.
it was pharside vs kite actually , they danced to the same song and pharside killed it too
Both are good!, slim boogie opening slow in the beginning finishing hard! Kite going hard at the start and going hard until the end !
Well, I guess that explains why everyone on Kite's crew knew what was coming. Kite + M.J. = perfection
Haha, at the end of Kites round. J Smooth: "Do you wanna go now?" Bionic: "Fuck no, you do it." Pharside: "Goddamit."
@FuManChu yeah all Kite's big moves in this routine are based in the musicality he gets from knowing the song really well. Kinda cheese in a battle. Good call guy!
second song is michael jackson - heartbreaker remix
the 2 best !!!!!!
1:57 - 1:58... best popping power move display ever.
以前與現在的slim boogie真的很大分別or
Slim was amazingly technical and musical
then....BOOM!
Kite just blows him away. he takes a faster, harder song and makes it his bitch!
Suddenly, what Slim did looks mediocre
@1988OMESH What?! If you had eyes you could see that J Smooth points at Bionic, then Bionic, while looking at Pharside, points at Pharside saying he's already going. And he def didn't smoke all in that one round, he just knew the song, and is a badass as well.
@FuManChu
Ah, that answers my question.
Sick man, glad to hear you're still getting down.
slim boogie hits hard !!!!!!! lol
@spritedblue you can hear Salah says "ah c'est son son" which means that it's Kite's song in french :p
Salah already knew whats about to come
kite这场屌过头了，这表情难得一见。
1:54 Salah in the background: " WAtCH ! WATCH! HE'S GONNA GETTA BUSY ! " *Kite gets busy* OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!
for all those who think kite did not freestyle this and it was staged check this comment out from someone on youtube "Yes this is "Kite's song" since i saw him dance to this really well in another vid of his, but its not like he went up to the dj and requested for him to play it when he wud come to battle.

I never saw the Kite lose any battle, incredible! - '

Well well, we had black panther desgined shirts in 2009
I think both were great. I didn't know "stupid nerds" existed. You sure got him good with that insult...
Kite and that beat...
It's like handing Pacman his power pellet.
@Gundamknight2423 ... yeah - after re-reading my post, I didn't mean to diss Kite, just am a bigger fan of Slim and his surgical tightness. I couldn't agree more - it is just a difference in styles, and both are remarkable fo shizz. Thanks. 1 love.
im not sure hoo to pick slim was poppin more
Slim Boogie is nasty... Gotta remember the beat changed. Kite killed his beat, Slim killed his... IMO if Slim would have caught that second track, he would have got him. Both atre nice no doubt, but Slim has the edge.
Doesnt matter if he owns the song or not....it was still dope.
WHO'S NEXT?
神技 KITE
I did not see a lot of hittin' in Kite's routine.....it looked more like him just gliding around the floor.......maybe its my computer, maybe it cannot capture the speed of Kite.
thats a nice routine kite has........slim boogie was awesome
The moment Kite took the floor, Salah and the rest just chilled out and let Popeye eat his spinach.
His favorite is "oh *hit" 😂😂
Michael Jackson - Heart breaker (instrumental)
slim is sick!!!!!!!!!! and kite just has crazy legs....i wonder who would really win in a real 1 on 1 battle!
やばい最高
@mansonkevin Its an instrumental of Heartbreaker by Michael Jackson I believe. It was off the Invincible Album
Slim Boogie did Poppin.Kite did freestyle.
It is unfair.When I see kite,It is not understood what the Poppin is.
I'm Japanese.
Just start @1:25 honestly. He kills it.
God kite is awosome. His style is so unique.............
@PoppinMantis
crazy legs is a popping style...kite use this style for dance his song because he can't use another style with it
@spritedblue
"Song" in french is called "chanson"?
Im a french major :D But maybe its slang..
the MC is like "mad skills" for slim boogie
when kite comes on...."oh shit! OH SHIT!!"
kite now this song very good ^^ his name says all its like he is flying over the floor like a kite
似魔鬼的步伐 是魔鬼的步伐 ~
Kite is simply a monster....
I gotta agree with most of the other comments on the video. Kite and Slim both murdered their beats but, forreals, Kite should never get beats like that. That's straight up god-mode for him. They both have way different styles though, so you can't really declare either one the winner.

oooooooooooooooooooooooo shit whats this kite is a monsters of this dance
crazy arms vs crazy legs
holy shi........
Does anybody know the name of the song that was played during when Slim Boogie was on the floor?
oh shit
@shanegrooves U can't say he's automatically the better dancer just because he has tighter technicality or skills. There's more to it than that. Don't get me wrong, i got mad love for slim boogie and his style, but it doesn't make him the "undeniably" better dancer. It's all jsut different styles and both are remarkable.
Hope you don't take this the wrong way xD, but i'm glad u have an opinion and at least u didn't bash :P,
Hahah not really kite vs slim it was just usa vs japan but more just a fun battle, you can tell because they change the music
different stylah
I want to name this tune
Kite's music : Michael Jackson - Heartbreaker (inst) th-cam.com/video/EAc1Fs08_nI/w-d-xo.html
@shanegrooves I saw ur repost but still. Really, they battled for fun and popping isnt about hitting 24/7 or doing anything like that. It's more like feeling the beat. And you can do that in different ways. Pz

@nemshi1 I think it's not cuz they didnt battle on the same music...but they are both monsters. Kite is the best
@BrokenGear Okay, thanks ;)
久々
"Kite was aight". Come on now, man. For real? This dude just raped that song!
Kite was good and funny but Slim was amazing on that one!!!!
@FuManChu
Do they get to choose the music they dance to? Or do they just practice to a lot of different music?
Btw, are you still battling anymore these days?
no, i didn't see that coming. neither 4th time playing. fuck kite. that is so damn threatening ! haha
damn... Kite a beast.
