Congrats to the bro PacMax, incredible battler, you deserve so much to be on top since a long time and I'm so happy for you 💙
Much love to the judges who voted against me, you guys unlocked something in me I needed for GBB :)
Much love to Alex, for understanding what I've tried to do
And mostly, thanks for your support 🙌
Idol
I am so glad that you took it in a positive way and used it as a motivation to prove everyone that you are the best solo beatboxer in the world. I have been following you for very long time and when I saw your growth in gbb21 I knew you will be gbb or world champ one day. I just wanted to ask what if you had won the world champs would you have still participated in gbb? Cause if you weren't planning to join gbb if you win the world champs then I think everything happened for a good reason. Gbb had the biggest prize pool and we got to see your new routines and compositions with good sound system. And I am glad it happened. Much love brother❤️🌊
I'm so sad that you didn't make it final on BWC, but I'm so happy you win the GBB! You deserve it man, proud of you.❤
Heureux d’avoir partager ce moment sur scène avec toi, j’ai beau faire le con sur scène, dans ma tête j’étais vraiment éblouis par tes créations !🩵
Your 2nd round was flawless, i dont really bother on trying to change what happened there and you besides to not look very happy after the jury decision, made an incredible comeback and trained even harder.
Eso es realmente inspirador, mis respetos para ti hermano
Pacmax single handedly ruined every River Fans mental health that night (including mine)
Lmaaoo

That's true, I hate that River' lost. But it is not the first time that River' loses against pacmax
Pac-Max deserved the win 100%. River and others doing the same old stuff and expecting to win. The crowd was not hype enough man I miss how it was a few years ago.
crowd was crazy loud live it's just they didn't record crowd audio
River in this battle has only revealed new stuff, i understand well how pacmax win, but still, river brang some crazy rounds in this one, the second one is in my opinion one the best round i've ever witness. But from what i heard didn't hit enough live compared to pacmax, and pacmax first round is quite insane too.
River was so upset wow
You guys are not ready for this
This battle was crazy
Best battle of the event
River`s Arpeggios is CRAZY !
"That was for the scratch category!"
kekw🤣
What a classy battle
This is my favourite Solo battle of this WBC
River is obviously incredible but in this moment pacmax deserved it. The power and consistency was just right. River had the complexity and technicality obviously but he was pushing against the bounds of his execution whereas pacmax was just flawless. He might go down as one of the only guys who ever beat river in a major battle at his peak
river’s only weakness is other french beatboxers
That last statement is crazy. Colaps in GBB21, Tomazacre in GBB19?
@@crab323 my bad you right
I was trying to say at his peak post gbb21
Man PacMax is truly the master of the Flow!
The battle of the year
🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤battle of two legends
Otherworldly. This is quite an important battle, it represents well the biggest standards of purely musical structured approaches there are, and such with a richness enough in the styles and rounds that, for me, each time i relisten to this battle, which is a really immersive and profound one, i find myself chaging the view of who i thought won. This is a masterclass, a piece of art by two of the finest ever. Despite prefering early River and his routines (before the mustache), the way that he found himself with his sensibility and sophisticated musical approaches is something that needs to be applauded for, it's hard to beat, and someone like Pacmax, on his peak of non stop creation, was able to do it here. This a battle for all the days, always something new to explore, feel, learn and discover.
well put, how long have you been exposed to beatboxing? Was a solid win for pacmax always from first listen for me, but I've been listening to beatbox for 15 years or so now so my ear is quite developed xD
Long answer ahead:
I've been practicing beatbox for 5 years, and I also compulsively follow competitions and content in general, in a way that creates an ear and a particular perspective to watch all this stuff.
For me, in battles with 4 rounds consistently arranged in a well-defined structure and characterization, it is usually difficult to find a fixed winner (Kenozen vs Footboxg, Zekka vs Colaps, Alem vs Blackroll, Wunknown vs Colaps/River, etc). Even more so when Pacmax and River are contrasting aspects of the sensitive and the vigorous; and a lot of the emotion of the rounds impacts this. I think their intentions are very solid and very well defined, at a point where for me it is subjectivity that defines the nearly flawless executions of each one of their ideas; one that always changes. On some days, River's "new" technical complexity doesn't completely sink in when I think about his classics ("My Way" and "By Ourselves") and favorites of mine (2019 era), which contradict him filling his beats with too many layers ("Liquid and Wicked", "Feel the Silence", "Moon", etc.), which therefore have a certain greater memorability; in others days, River's new approach becomes a delight. Other days, I think that Pacmax has better compositions than what he showed here (even though he is a consistent creator), or that the first round has some elements that don't completely captivate me in their completeness.
Overall, I still think that Pacmax won because River' developed a sense of individuality that prevents his compositions from being outstanding beyond a technical sense at times, but that's just me. Pacmax combines a lot of liveliness and a solidity that is difficult to beat, which disarms the sophistication of River' which is very particular, in addition to the inconsistencies in pitch.
But all of those are things that alternate from day to day, which is the consequence of an excellent battle; So, it's for a good reason. :)
This was one of the best battles I have ever heard, both of them were very respectful and professional. They're both champions in my opinion :))
🧅
Disagreed, they're champions in my garlic 🥱🥱🥱
:))
Sorry, autocorrection made it onion, I meant opinion
River took this for me guys the music is beautiful. Pacmax definitely got me steppin on his second round, but I would say it is not quite as complex as Rivers 2nd round. Great battle, only winners here!
this battle made history
Insane
What a battle! PAC Max couldn’t believe it when he won. Such emotion!
I was happpy pacmax won this, it was well deserved and he sounded way better than river imo. I love river a lot but sometimes he goes for combos that aren’t pleasing to the ear, and then doubles down on them becoming really skilled with them. To this point I can clearly hear that what he’s doing is really hard but it just doesn’t sound as good as what opponents do. I even noticed this a bit in his GBB rounds but he ended up winning that still
I'm such a fan of River. I've seen him live in Belgium this weekend and I've never heard such an amazing first 4 minutes of a showcase. Together with FootboxG maybe my favourite beatboxer at the moment. However, I think he lost this one. PacMax was so on point... Ohlalalaaaaa
It's a game, nothing more, nothing less and PacMax made the perfect decisions.
that 2nd round from PacMax slaps
Id give it to river, but my god pacmax second round the best thing i heard from him
The rematch 🔥💯
Most ppl don’t know about that nice 👍🏻
Amazing PacMax!!
That was for the scratch category🥶
dont get it tho...
@@WatchDoggyDogthere was a “vocal scratch” category this year at the champs where it was focused on making dj scratching style beats and river in his first round made a lot of scratchy sounds so pacmax was joking about that
So glad Pacmax is finally getting some success and recognition! Love his beats
One of the craziest battles I've ever watched. Still remember the awe on mine and everyone's faces when River just started dropping a clean arpeggio in round 2..
Massive big ups to Pacmax for winning as an underdog, very musical and powerful rounds. For me he took the first round and River took second, but overall i felt that pacmax edged him just a bit.
when i watched it live for the first time i thought that pacmax won but now... river's round were really incredible ... it is still close but maybe Rivera deserved it
That was for the scratch category 😂😂😂
Legendaire
Fun fact: Pacmax was the only one to beat River this year, this one and draft tag team battle in european championship
But this is PacMaxO after he absorbed all the other Maxes into him
Interestingly, Pacmax is the only one that has beat both GBB23 finalists
If he is in gbb23, he can easily win imo
@@ameerhazim9495 he would’ve had a shot, but there are a lot more factors like what routines you have saved, beating someone once isn’t a guarantee you can take every round in the highest level competition.
@@ameerhazim9495If he can win FBB24, he'll qualify for GBB24. definitely has a big chance to win it.
Or of course if he wins a wildcard.
Takes another French beat boxer to beat River 😂😭
river's second round man...that's beautiful
Nutz!!
River is the only one that sounds good with this audio quality, and that's enough to give him the victory. Btw, Pacmax second round was one of the best, round of the competition
It sounded different live, so that's why it probably wasnt taken into consideration. Also how beatboxers sound should be independent on how some external source makes them sound
=)) alex looked so fucking enjoy with pacmax last drop, but he still choose river, its made me remember the match between pacmax and alex few years ago
Damnn Pacmac win against GBB champions😃
Wow Pacman round 2 is amazing he did a classic from mr oizo flat beat 😊❤❤
River: A
Crowd: OOHHHHHHHHHH
Really hard to beat River' congrats !
PacmaX have beaten river
@@uniteamcandy yeah that's why he's congratulating him
@@jaredbowen3527before
PACmax's battle skills so sick!!! wow 🔥
River second round pitch control olalalalala ~ 3:46
river was like: no way i lost😭😭😭
Pacmax so dope💥
guess who's coming in the dark
And is following you
Watch your back, there's a foot mark
is it a train
Is it a plane? Is it a train?
Its Batman!!
Personally I think pacbloke had better use of his sounds in structure on that round for me he was a clear winner. Big up river big up pacdude
Alem is still Alem since 2012 ❤
If you can actually do this mad respect
The devastated River'.
Man, what a battle!
That expression of his represents good sportsmanship indeed😂
Live it was pretty clear that pacmax won but in video I totally understand that people lean more towards river
wow, pacmax has really been dropping amazing compositions, they were both really equally good, it’s just preference
do you prefer clear themes/songs or tech/battle-ish style, that was this
ㄹㅇ 명배틀
3:51 what was that ??😮
river train bass with a dkoy whistle
all these salty kids in the comments hating on the state of beatbox or river or pacmax need to get with the times, these two made the best battle of the entire event 🎉🎉🎉
BUENISIMA PACMAX!!!!
All good with river sining easy melodys and his style but yo it would be great to hear something new , it’s the same with Napom got years doing exactly the same lip roll stuff
Do it if you think it's easy
@@juanffr5981 nah pacmax already make fun of it 🤌🏻
6:28 edged to that
solid win for PacMax has more variety well deserved, maybe Rive'r was thinking more of the final than winning this
1 round insano do Pacmax
🎤 🙌
Pacmax brought the heat
Rivers 2nd round isn’t stage ready…. Pacmax won fair and square idk why bro got in his feelings makes him look like a sore loser tho
It’s very emotional losing a battle especially at a high level like these two who really want to win, I think river did seem sad but he gave his respects to Pacmax for the win.
People have commented on how River seems to have a pretty poor on-stage attitude. You see it here and also at GBB.
@@andymiles2089 so, a guy tries to be physical with him, River doesn't like it, and that somehow means he's got poor stage attitude? Lmao.
Pacmax himself was surprised too. He looked shocked and mouthed something like (what?) after he saw the decision. You can see him nodding no to river right after his round too. It was a pretty even round imo and 3 in favor seems kinda odd.
@@OnionAddictionIt's so weird and random lol i thought he was just battling normally.
and him and pacmax are literally friends, he was very supportive during the winners ceremony. People need to go outside.
for real it looks like pacmax brings more battle attitude, because of this he won
Rivers routines Stretched too thin. PacMax evolved more
3:22 That vocal roll was game changer, but I think it was too early to release it.
It was ultra high level, don’t get me wrong, but I think that 2 things in here have VERY great POTENTIAL:
1) The Voice Roll: the technique something not known by many of us. The voice of a human has something special, I think that roll could’ve cause soooo many different types of impact on the listener, just that he showed it in a battle.
Battles and Art are not the same thing (on it’s 100%)
Think at the Codfish’s 2019 The Summit performance. He used his developoed vocal roll on a beatbox song that USED A CONCEPT. He leaded us to crazy mystical sh*t, with a (for me), written letter from Peter Pan. The transmission there was unbelievable.
2) The Concept Idea: I think this is not too present in music, and not understood by many of people in the beatbox community (if we focus on them).
It’s really great, cool, interestint, meaningful, appreciated, ETC, when you bring a concept into your song. You think of creating something with a concept in? Ok. You Freestyle and you think your routine express an emotion in particular? A mood? An aspect of life? A game? A moment in history?? The future? Fun? Intrigue? Mystic?? Continue on this and make sur it will develop all that concept that you feel.
I wrote all this because I think River’s Vocal Roll used on his routine “Where My Heart Belongs” was applied to a battle, while there are cryterias for your music on battles, you form them as to be accepted by people (crowd, juries, online fans, fans: RELATED TO BATTLE YOUR MUSIC WILL NOT BE FREE) so the real problem comes here.
You cannot make the greatest music, give your 100% artistically speaking if you’re doing things for battles, things for someone, it needs to have freedom in there.
I think the “Where My Heart Belongs” was a super special routine but taken in a a wrong way. If this would be made for a showcase in a river showcase, I personally thibk the result could’ve been different in a positive way (and for me, it will always be)
I would like to read your comments on this, please be kind and respectful, just debate.
River used this routine again in gbb, but a better version
Agree on that this is revolutionary technique. Somebody needs to show this to vocal masters/coaches, they will be shocked I guess
I think in the recent years battles have shifted towards more of a "who makes the better rounds" thing, rather than who has more energy in their rounds or aggressiveness. So beatbox as a whole has taken a musical dive especially after Codfish's win in 2018. I think River's second round was suitable for battles, just not executed very well. You could tell he was still experimenting around with the vocal roll and bringing out the surprise factor. In GBB he did it slower and transitioned to the last drop with more power-- and that went much better.
I would argue that River lost here because his first round, while pretty dynamic, didn't have much going on compared to pacmax's first round.
I can't wait to hear vocal coaches react to his new technique though.. defo could be a game-changer
@@Max-lk3bwwell, i think he is cracking his falsetto, having a low falsetto then switching it up to chest voice and repeat
I also forgot to say that Mr. Androide did the same technique in his GBB 21 Elimination but people didn’t catch the trick or thing. 🙁
BROOOO Pacman SLAMMMED River so haaard hahahahah :DDD Especially the first round he just continued rivers melody and made a whole BANGER with it just WOW X00000
Well deserved win MaxO!
Sick from both ,Was pacmax first song an original sounds familiar?
It's an original track ! :)
@PACMaxBbx thanks was brilliant loved the words ❤️ 👏
@@PACMaxBbx when will you upload it?
@@Aarush this year i hope !
@@PACMaxBbx Hey Pacmax, your routines are pure gold! Seriously, they're amazing. Imagine how awesome it would be to have them on Spotify - a total blessing for your fans (like me!) who want to listen on repeat. Let's make it happen!
Such an amazing battle✨️
Pacmax vs River' French Championship 2018 was the first time for me to recognize them, so I feel this matchup very special.
And their reaction after the judge decision almost made me cry.
Actually I knew River' and Pacmax before the battle, but it was the first time to see them battling somebody.
Pacmax 👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥
Paxmax 2 part beautyfull
Maybe being in stage was a whole different experiment because River was clearly above in this video (I'm not saying PacMax was bad btw, my french comrade was insanely good but River was outrageously good !)
The problem is that he's been repeating a lot of the same same.. People start to get tired of the repetitiveness and no longer hype it up.
rivers first song was just a showcase of different sounds he can make, and his second song wasnt much better, what pacmax was making actually sounded like music. rivers rounds were good, but pacmax was just better
Is this the actual World Champs coz it doesn't really feel like it when compared to 2015 WC. 2015 WC was insane.
For me is a replic but i dont know much about beatbox
alem :D:D
pacmax's rounds are so crazy it's stupid
Pacmax lesson : Drink More Water
I love that expression on rivers face 😮
6:02 best drop
I saw colaps in the crowd 😐
Is this pacmax's Arc
Seemed pretty even for me. Nothing major stood out. Fan of River, maybe Pac got it just on energy and a few better moments.
This shows the difference in judging between World championship and GBB. Guess which one is a little shaky 🫠
Why people hating on River so much? He deserved the win, im tired of people putting down these artists hard work and effort.
Be more positive, that’s what the beatbox community is about
@@blujayplays1 Man I guess he‘s talking about the judges, It's really a hard decision to make.
@@user-ik9kz2wt5njust like how napom got robbed of being a 2 time gbb champ..

I thought river gonna take it . Hmmm.... 🤔 May its just me
during live stream i thought that too but now i see that he made couple of mistakes in his rounds and pacmax's flow was way better
i felt pacmax was more creative with his sounds combos in 2nd round , while river in 2nd kinda made some small error in the beginning and his last drop combos kinda felt repetitive, what are your thoughts bro ?
Same. Reaver has style when Pacmax deliver all standart beats with few his own combos.
pacmax !!
i do prefer pacmax here.. its more enjoyable
River ficou decepcionado pelo simples fato de ter criado expectativas. Expectativas sempre estão sujeitas a serem frustradas. E as que tem como base, o orgulho, sempre são frustradas.
Certeza!!
la tete de river a la fin hahaha le pauvre
Il n'y a rien de drôle à ça, il est normal d'être déçu quand on sait à quel point River' a mis du temps pour construire ses routines, et quelles sont factuellement plus complexes que celles de Pacmax, même si je n'enlève pas la victoire de Pacmax, et qu'il a bien mérité cette victoire.
@@Koalabeatbox toi t’as pas de poted
Yeah idk it was a really close battle. imo the judges need to be relatively up to date beatboxers... Not saying it should've went another way, just needs to be a different panel
This is a really stupid comment, you realise most of the judges have been in the highest level competitions THIS YEAR? What are you even talking about?
@@jdturkdrcox I don't disagree, but think, in reality there is nothing at all that qualifies someone to be a beatbox battle judge. Just winning battles in my opinion isn't enough. Everything is completely subjective to the point where standards don't mater. Its what you personally like to listen to in that moment.
@@jdturkdrcoxWhat highest level competition? Other than Alem and Alexinho none of them have been on the level to judge people like River, Napom or Footboxg.
One guy has been in GBB only as part of Shadow Sumo which didn't even qualify, and he is judging the Finalist of last year's solo and tag GBB and Winner of this years gbb and tag?
World Champs: has two world champs on the judge panel
This guy: Yeah it needs to be a different panel
@@valleymykel-mq7gw So what you're saying is there are 2 world champions.... and others who have been on stage in competition.... and you have a problem with the statement? ARE YOU FRICKEN DUMB? Man nerds online trying to sound smart but just making a fool of themselves.
pacmax nailed the flow
ငါ့အမြင်အရ အမှန်တိုင်းပြောရရင် RIVER'နဲ့ PACMAXက နှစ်ယောက်လုံး အရမ်းတော်ကြတဲ့ Beatboxerနှစ်ဦးပါ။ ဒီBATTLE ROUNDမှာ အဲ့နှစ်ယောက်လုံးက ပူးတွဲသရေရရှိပြီး Final Roundကို ရောက်သွားသင့်ပါတယ်။
Pacmax took this one tbh
Exactly what happened
Better then GBB❤
low quality sound
Quality is so bad
Sorry these outward k snares of River just don't hit
audio is terrible
I didnt even know the World Championship was happening and I've watched them every year as they get released on TH-cam... Very lackluster tournament and poor advertising. The sound quality is awful and you can barely hear the crowd, what happened?
The beatbox community is not profitable, do you think it is cheap to hold an event the size of GBB?
@@dymeno3478
TRUE
How on earth can you call it a lackluster tournament? This is definitely the highest level that Worlds has ever been, and we had some AMAZING battles. River, Napom, Pacmax, and especially Footboxg were killing machines.
It's raw audio i believe. I could be wrong, but it doesn't sound mixed. With a good enough sound engineer you could actually make this sound a lot better but i think they just want to push the videos out as fast as possible. I also really dislike the audio and it has nothing to do with money as someone commented. There's so many smaller live competitions with videos and they manage to do better than the literal world championships in terms of audio and video quality without any crazy kind of sponsors attached. It's been a hot discussion for years regarding audio quality for world champs, both in video-form and live venue audio. I do believe they upped the venue audio this event though so big up for that, but they need to realise that the videos matter too.
RIVER is GBB champion
I don’t read comments I soak them with wub, my money is River is truly a God 😮
And so is pax 😮
pacmaxのこの髪型が個人的に一番好き！！
He stole it from Max0 😢
