All the people talking trash, realize that Rahzel is the only guy that kept beatboxing alive. He was catapulted to the forefront of hip-hop at his time, and had an extremely unique style, that brought beatboxing and rapping together in the mainstream. Just like Tony Hawk, Have people now surpassed him in skill on a skateboard? You bet your ass they have. However, Tony Hawk is still one of the godfathers of new school skateboarding. If you ask any beatboxer who their influences are, I'd be willing to bet a large percentage of them mention Rahzel. That's all I'm saying.
+EvilDave83 Really? I love Rahzel and whenever he collaborated w/ The Roots. And yes he added the flavor of singing to beatboxing as he demonstrated here. But beatboxing being "catapulted to the forefront of hip-hop at his time *that brought beatboxing and rapping together in the mainstream*" everyone's mind should just go directly to the song "The Show", which included "La Di Da Di" on the B-Side and a lot of rappers covered later, but was most famously revived by Snoop in '93. But everyone refers to "The Show" as the mainstream of beatboxing being mixed into rapping. I mean The Roots and Rahzel actually paid tribute to the song on the album "In The Beginning There Was Rap" that came out in '97 which had famous rappers during that time pay tribute to the originators of rap (i.e. Wu Tang covering Sucka MC's by Run DMC and Bone Thugs covering Fuck The Police by NWA) which biggest single out the album was Def Squad's tribute to Sugar Hill Gang doing "Rapper's Delight". Doug E. Fresh = the originator of beatbox and brought it to the mainstream w/ Sick Rick
+JjM91084 I could give you shit about how old the comment was you replied to. However, I agree with almost everything you said. WHAT I meant was, 14 year old blonde teenagers knew nothing of beat boxing, aside from heavy D and the fat boys until Rahzel popped up on TRL. That's just the fact of the matter. A lot of suburban kids would never have entered into this medium, even competitively, had they not heard that album, because a lot of them never listened to Wu Tang, or any other hip hop aside from Eminem or, er, ahem* Limp Bizkit (hey, that was the times) for that matter. When these people heard him cover Prince, it blew their minds. That's all I meant brother. Peace out.
EvilDave83 Alright I understand, you aren't that up on hip-hop. And please do give me shit about how old the comment was that i replied to. I mean I'm giving you shit about replying to a comment tha was written to your comment written so long ago
+JjM91084 I'm more up on hip hop than you know for sure, and have been a hip hop head since 1992. For whatever reason I just got a notification of your reply today. No matter how fucking old it was. How about we both agree to fuck off respectively before this turns into a Hip hop trivia battle that drags on through the ether back and forth for far longer than I'd prefer to dedicate the time to?
EvilDave83 translation = I don't know shit about hip-hop, but I need to explain myself as to why I replied to your comment. I should probably fuck off fast before I get exposed, yet I should make a comment to save face w/o showing I'm throwing the white flag. That translation hitting a little too close to home huh? Trust me, by the references you made in your 1st reply (it wasn't a good look for you bruh) if there was a "hip-hop trivia battle" or whatever the fkc b/w you and I, it wouldn't be that much of a back and forth. Trust
I feel so bad I haven’t heard of him until now, but all I could say is how amazing he is. I know there’s all these advanced best boxers that are really good, this sounds on par with it to me. Truly art, esh!
@@WorldWidePatriots It's just the fighting sounds he made rather than an actual street fighter homage. But it's been so long, I can't remember. It was on make the music 2000 though, I remember buying the CD 😂
All the mainstream beatboxers today, are probably inspired by Rahzel. He brought this skill to the public back in 2001. Respect Rahzel. I still remember you in 2017.
I donwload this fron lime ware and on youtube converter too a thousend years ago 😂 suddenly i remember this wonderfull perfonce on the co-vid cuaretine, thanks covid 😂😍
Respect the legend of hip hop...my favourite singer...great influence, thank you Rahzel the best. You make me dream. Have a good show tonight at Biel-Bienne our so beloved town, the city of "communication"!!!
He needs to be back on business and get hired for other genre of music and give him some royalty's. He would be ballin because no one compares to this LEGEND.
for all the trolls and haters Rahzel is the godfather of beat boxing he kept it alive when no one was doing it now that it's popular with the main stream they need to give this man his just do he's to beat boxing what Bill Gates is two computers a Founder and a pioneer show some respect
sorry, J mart, i was around when beatboxing was a big thing, Rahzel is the current king of beatboxing, but you need to hear some of the original beatboxers like Human Beatbox from the fat boys, known as boff, i miss him, he was the originator of beatboxing, and he was the greatest.
Don't get me twisted, Rahzel is a legend and will always be. I really respect for all that he has contributed to the beatbox scene. However in today's day he isn't the best, simply because as with any other music or art form, beatbox has evolved a lot by the years. I'm assuming you just know beatboxing from, like you said, "kids and their tic tocs", but you should really look up the actual beatbox scene! If you bother checking it out, I'd suggest you look up GBB 2019 videos, especially of the 2019 Champion, D-Low. (GBB = Grand Beatbox Battle, one of the biggest beatbox events in the current day) I am in no way hating on Rahzel or anything. Like I said he will always remain a legend. The present beatbox scene owes it to the legends like Biz, Rahzel, Kenny etc, without them, beatbox wouldn't have ever taken off
Love the new addition of the back ground vocals! The man is a genius. Him and Kenny Mo rock!!! Although beatboxing has moved forward and is technically more involved, the history is still there and the roots stem from this Legend!
I was just humming that magnificent live thang, it sure made its round about 2000 and sum back then I believed he did the whole show now in not sure😜 still stuck in my head
No, he ain't the Godfather...that honor would have to go to The Original Human Beat Box from the Fat Boys and Dougie Fresh of the Get Fresh Crew. Biz Markie would have to go on that list of founding fathers too probably. Rahzel is the man, a fucking beast as a beat box, and one of my favorites. But the others I listed came first and probably influenced him. Wish that beat boxing was more prevalent in hip-hop today. Talent over technology...THAT is hip-hop in it's purest...
JuggaloSupreme is not like that everwhere, here in argentina we use a lot of beatbox to do underground freestyle battles and only beats for indoor scenario shows
He was from the same era and in the same circle as Doug e fresh , rahzel by far took the step to popularize beatboxing on a different level than they did. Doug e fresh invented it , rahzel was there for it as was Kenny ..in my book all legends. Add to that , rahzel has really good vocal skills compared to most out there .
Back here again 2021. To see this legend, remember downloading this on dial up Internet via Napster or Limewire or Kazaa can’t remember!!! Good times and good memories. Definitely the innovators influenced so many we have today.
Been trying to learn this song on beatbox for a while, never seem to get the timing right thou. Now I started to do "Billie Jean" instead and it is getting there, still not perfect. anyways, Rahzel is god of beatbox. No one can take that away from him.
omg. this has been the shizzzzz since diapers an baby bottles. 😂. it was amazing then and even better now that i can appreciate it even more. sure addicted to it. ❤Rahzel. !!!
I remember hearing this for the first time in a Honda Civic in the parking lot of a ski resort in the Summer, we had just smoked a J and my 14 yr old mind was BLOWN hearing it the first time. Still holds true 20 years later. 🤘

@@MrSosa thank you
I saw him open up for the Wu-Tang Clan in 2003 and it blew my mind was one of the best performances I ever saw
j mart 123 oh wow I wanna see them too
I saw him and wutang and rage against the machine, public enemy etc at rock the bells NYC 2007. Best concert I ever went to!
I saw him battle Mix Master Mike at a rave in 01 Hartford CT
damn you saw it and i was downloading that version probably, from limewire haha
I had the .mp3 too. So did all my friends in school
This shits popped up randomly in my head for the past 15 years
The beatbox community has evolved so much till now but he’s still a legend.
If there’s no these OGs there’s no beatbox community nowadays
Nothing like a classic but anybody doing it like him I can look up ?
@@westsidepeanut3301 codfish is a start
Watching in 2020 and honestly this art needs to come back and bigger than ever because this stuff is amazing
Kevin Mathers mission accomplished thanks to my brother and the berywam french crew
It's the cringiest beatboxing technique ever, even my 8 year old brother can do better than that.
For reals!
Bro I couldn't agree more... This man was and always will be the best beat boxer ever
@krnfx
Brings me back to middle school and high school. Remember playing him for friends, no one believed he was doing both. Bow to the legend.
Ditto!
How old
Same here
I remember downloading this off of Limewire a decade ago.
Kids of today have no clue that Limewire was the original Pirate Bay for music 🤣
Shit, Limewire was the best! Got my first virus there too.
Nothing could destroy your family PC more efficiently than limewire lol
@@georgel3657 that's exactly what it did.
Yessss
This is so dope! The lost element of hip hop, the middle man between turntablist and the mc.
This blew my mind 20 years ago. Its still incredibly impressive.
Still watching this in 2019
Good for you.
Why?

Same here bro. Remember as if it was today. Rahzel is king here too. Salutes from Brazil 🇧🇷
My speakers can't handle this wtf.
Absolute legend . I said that 15 years ago and i still believe rahzel is a legend
His timing, power, and stage presence are absolutely NEXT LEVELLLLL
The beat and the chorus...at the same time! I still love this after all these years!
The official godfather of beatbox.
Nope! That's Doug E. Fresh
I would sit there playing this song back hundreds of times teaching myself how to do it
My brother had his album when I was little, I had mad respect. Theres a lot of students nowadays that no doubt grew up with him as inspiration
One of my university lecturers (Ph.D. in music) mentioned this song and my eyebrows perked. Damn awesome that Rahzel gets props from academics.
I'm curious how much of Hip Hop is discussed in academia?
I had the pleasure of seeing this guy about 4 times between 2001 and 2005. Always killed it on stage.
I still think about this song! Stole all his shit off napster back in the day. I played it all the time!
Oh no way u so bad
The one and only beatbox riddim, the one that inspired every other... Thank you Rahzel !
2018 murdering it still

I’m now 40 years old and stumbled on this again after soooooo long. Blessed be
I played this song all the time in high school in the early 2000's
True godfather of beatbox. Maybe not the best by todays standards but all paths to greatness need to be laid by someone.
Havent heard Rahzel since high school. Got chills on this version of a classic. Beast!
I feel so bad I haven’t heard of him until now, but all I could say is how amazing he is. I know there’s all these advanced best boxers that are really good, this sounds on par with it to me. Truly art, esh!
Agreed
ESH ✌

Hip-hop live forever and ever Rahzel is one of the underrated hip-hop artists .
Saw him in concert when I was a teenager. Absolutely awesome. One of the few things that gives me chills all these years later listening to it.
One of the few artists I regret not seeing back in the day... The Godfather... OF NOISE. Legend.

True king of their talent; in and out of their time
It's 2015/2016 and you're still a monster.

Anytime someone brings up Beatboxing, I will Forver refer to this exact video. Rahzel is forever dope

No TH-cam. No previous. No after. Real life idol and legend and nothing will be authentic as this
Some of you kids need to give more respect. You aint got a clue.
Damn straight.
They always know "Dubstep Beatbox" as this shit has been hyped in the web..
True!!! I'm always asked to do dubsstep beatbox but I'm not advanced or hard wired to do that yet lol
Ben McDonnell skillwise he got beaten by so many. Please respect that. No matter what, this song is legendary and still makes me feel good.
Facts
still the best beatboxer ever. kids and their tic toc aint the same shit...

The fact he does all this with just his mouth is absolutely LEGENDARY ❤😎
The greatest beatbox performers imo include Doug, Biz and Razel. Shame he has never performed with the Roots on Fallon.
