Yo, get Metal on BTM!
PLEASE BRING METAL SO HE CAN BATTLE KEFTON AND SMOKE HIM ON CAMERA. pls.
Would be so hype with Metal on BTM, especially vs Kefton
@@SerpentineWisdom come on brotha, u think Metal finna smoke Kefton?😐😐
I knew sum was off when u said Skitzo had better musicality than Larry😂😂😂
"Kefton is not on the judge pannel" nah u dead wrong for this bruh😭
I’m my opinion, this is one of the best I’ve seen from Larry in a minute bro…amazing
I liked seeing him create on that house track that was amazing. I had forgotten he even knew house like that, he use to be better than Laurent at house back in the day
I feel me need to have live interviews after a battle to see how they felt about there performance and the overall experience. Like they do for all these other sports. So we can have a better understanding of how they thinking without all the speculations.
Let me just say I enjoy your perspective. Even when I don't necessarily agree. I'm not a dancer, but I'm a huge Larry fan and the very things you seem to criticize him about are the things that I love and I believe others love. The fact that he is not going after the traditional beats but accents other parts of the music that we tend to ignore, is what makes him unique and special. In my opinion, Larry is one of the best storytellers when he's dancing, and venues like BTM or stage shows or workshops are where he shines . For instance, round 1, he was telling a story it wasn't about the moves, it was about creating a mood and a scene for you to get trapped in. I love that about him and when he's doing a song that actually has lyrics, Oh man, forget about it, he's the best at emoting and expressing the heart of the music in my opinion. As I said im not a dancer and not necessarily a lover of hip hop in general but Les Twins (especially Larry) have definitely made me fall in love with the art.
Thanks for what you do I enjoy your perspective and the way you express your love of dance and your analysis. Be blessed.
"Dude is a special effect" loooool didn't think there was ever a better description for how he dances
So the gun thing Metal that Larry did in the first round was a Grenade Launcher punchline. He bit off the pin and put it in the slot and shot it. I was just confused as you at first until it dong on me lol
just watching all these recently videos on larry i truly feel like as a complete dancer he is not thats more laurent within hip-hop he is literally a style of dance like when you watching a popper, housing, locking or bboy etc. and you know what to expect its just there movement & choice of musicality is whats going to make that person different in that category of dance then theirs larry style, which is nothing but limitation of movement of the music using nothing but mainly pace change, technique, musicality & footwork which is not easy to do because many dancer gets lost within the music which laurent does at a great high level though & like their instagram names the term of on & off makes sense to me. i can see why dancers can admire his style because how locked in he be into the music no matter how much folks want larry dance to be their way of thinking he stay true to himself & i can do none but respect it
Talk about a run on sentence holy fuck. My head hurts trying to put together what you tryna say
@@iiraiyen aw thats too bad
@@slimhampton9179 yea bro it sucks but I still got the message.
Its always good to hear the ahaaaa🤣🔥
What you said about doing signatures and what you normally do being the opposite of what this event is for ...i feel yah...i guess thats where the "Beyond the moves" part comes in
Les Twins should be dominating TikTok. Their style is tailor made for that audience
Extremely😂
I think at the least they should just upload freestyles on short freestyles on IG. The little ideas they had during quarantine was looking like they could be tiktok stars if they wanted to. They shit was near at the top of the results of the videos that pop up when you click the sound too
This was a great style clash. Both dancers really brought out the strengths and weaknesses in eachother
Both were great. I honestly love these spaces more than the one round killers. I also appreciate seeing Larry be a little more patient and experimental with his style. I hope Laurent does btm some day.
BTM is so much better than battles because they just feel and create (a real exchange between artists). I love it!!! Even with Larry just coming from Dr. it appeared to me he shared some good vibes with everyone.
Can't wait to see the next one !
I was very impressed how soy was able to adapt to the music.
Larry started off strong but it looked like he started slowing down towards the end while soy kept building on his rounds.
Larry said he was hurt during these, you could see him grabbing at his leg throughout and he cut his last exchange off. But either way you don't have to strain your body to kill it, he coulda just chilled and done some new shit
Larry is the master of slow walk, runs and rewinds
The thing to with Larry is that we all know he can groove and flow and all that, but since 2017 he absolutely began to change the way he approaches music, it just is what it is with him. Every year his style changes and every round he does is the same... until the next year. It's like he forgets every move he's done and adds new sigs and does them all year.
I wish he would take what he has done and mash it all tougher, specifically his groove and bounce from 2009 and the krump elements he had in 2019 and 2014. He's not predicted on groove and flow anymore, I wish he was, but apparently it doesn't matter anymore because every battle I've ever seen him in since like 2015 or this years Battle Bad he *always* make it to at least the Semi's.
With Laurent I've seen him explore Jookin a little more, I saw some buck jumps, and I even saw him hold a toe stall into a spin. From just Battle Bad to the Next Urban Legend battle, I've seen him learn Amipano, Gwara Gwara, leg work, expanded his house even more, buck jumps, I saw a krump chest pop in like a balance point, he expanded upon his concepts, expanded on that little left shoulder tut thing he does. He's like a totally different dude lowkey.
Facts I miss that RBH/ Strife era Larry dude would smoke every Larry in recent years
I’m kinda agree with you. I feel like 2022 Larry add more bounce and floor work. I love 2019 Larry the best, his isolation and those krump elements make him like an alien at that year. But anyway he still evolves and he still the top tier dancer.
Laurent been crazy this year tho, i love all the things he did so far
That's the journey of most skilled artists/dancers. They cannot remain the same because they feel the need to constantly upgrade their skills without losing their authenticity in order to appreciate their passion. Once they're stagnant it's over, it means they no longer have it.
@@hybridroid see I won't even say that really because Larry is like I said in the Semis of like every comp (I remember off the top of my head) he's been in since 2015 other than JD 2019
Every dancer really looks the same for the most part. Like look at Majid, just rewatching him in Fusion Concept vs Ruin and Mijo and its like a spitting image.
I think the thing is that with Larry and Laurent they created new movement, style no one else has so it'll be more prone to look the same. Their style is their foundation really.
@@user-he3jo1ni4o man Laurent has been my favorite since the 2019 specifically their Japan workshop freestyles. Then I went back and realized how much he's changed every single year, and he became my favorite of the two.
This year man I need to see him battle Majid and Rubix, maybe he'll cross paths with Alex the Cage. Paradox too
looking real crisp in that hoodie bro 🔥
whats crazy to me ngl felt like larry was full chilling.. he didnt even look like he was actually trying. it was more like he was vibing lol
Good to have the doc back 👊🏼
great discussion on this one. beyond the moves is cool
Larry is so Amazing
What I've been waiting for 😈
This was very good!
I knew u gonn do this😂🤣
Yo, Doc, was wondering if your opinion on how the rounds went change when editing the video or not? When watching the round for the first time, I sometimes don't get the idea behind each sequence the dancer had, but after multiple views I can see what was the "story".
Something about Larry these past few years. He doesn't seem to have the same range of movement he used to have. it's almost like he's stuck in one place doing isolations but nonetheless he's a great dancer.
You got it too much body control without any rhythm or connection to the music. It’s like he doesn’t feel the music like he used to just hears the beats. And what I’ve seen how he dances just looks so stiff and unnatural even in 2018 battle bad he was stiff but still had better range of movements. His musicality, body control are on point but the creativity with his freestyles isn’t as prevalent as before like their battle with King Charles and Prince Jaron at Make Lemonade Benefit 2017 his rounds there had more of an umph changing with the music instead of keeping that same beat killing moves on different songs
@@T_money808 i dont know what the heck are u talking about the creativity and connection to the music....this year i had seen Larry a lot connecting to the music...and this exchange was something in which i saw a lot fresh moves from him......so pls don't spam the same thing on each and every video...
@@sumitakarmakar354 Don’t start an argument unless you know what you’re talking about, dance is more complex than fresh new moves. You probably don’t know what being connected to the music means, larry was connected to the beat not the music there was a lack of feeling and sense of rhythmic flow still missing
@@T_money808 yea couldn't have said it better he's too stiff lately but Laurent on the other hand has been growing nonstop.
@@sumitakarmakar354 get out your feelings. We are just giving our honest opinion as people who appreciate Les twins.
10:22 i was laughin my tears off when u said that😭😭😂
40 pounds vs Larry Smoove. That battle was insane
He’s going through a injury i believe in this performance
Imagine Laurent at BTM.
have you seen the rubix round dancing to hrs and hrs???
So what part of Larry was injured 😭 does he heal through dance
Btm is such gold. Hatts off to nickel yudat for setting up such a platform. We the viewers are eternally gratefull
Soyuz was cold & smooth some rounds were li mhm buh the last is fiya🔥
yep espeacilly the last round
anyone know last song? also i think larry's leg was damaged
You’re cat 🐈⬛ was like what’s going on here
💯
I’m sure Laurent would agree with you.
Last song name please????
Metal unmatched in apex, but he is not your savior...
😂😂😂 dat shi got me weak
Also, Doc, do a livestream
Doc do a live stream
Masterclass ive nothing to say
Overly harsh on Larry. Like said a lot to say nothing. Larry literally switches up style every year, his brother does to. Also, this freestyle is not at all like his recent stuff, so yea he experimented for this event.
He does this everytime to larry I've noticed, it may be to him not really vibing to his style I believe. Tbh most people that don't like larry analyze him to hard and look for certain distinctions with his style, but fail to realize that he doesn't really dance to fit one style completely nor one specific grove in the music(it's literally the twins whole thing not to do that lol). If anything I feel that they go overboard with trying to be different, only because it limits them to their signature moves a lot, but they still kill 90% of the dancers they face and if they lose its always been a close call.
@@dwking-pt8hg Not that it’s just his rounds are most of the time nowadays underwhelming there’s no connective flow to the music to have build ups, it’s usually just a straight line of beat killing with crazy isolations. There is a lack of movement in these sets, and to replace that lack of movement he fills with too many isolated beat kills, which is what makes him look so stiff, he always had lots of isolations but his range of movements were better before. Killing every beat isn’t necessary he can do what he wants ofc but objectively it becomes repetitive the comments analyzing larry understand that his style before used to be much better objectively speaking. People are just speaking objectively this current style does have problems that’s just a fact. Subjectively I miss how much more fluid his style was different transitions, levels, musicality while maintaining creativity and not staying in one pocket of beat killing, his rounds now just come off kinda flat, using the same signatures every freestyle I see, although this exchange was the best I’ve seen in awhile.
@@T_money808 I get what you mean. I just wouldn't go as far as to say he's got no flow to the music based off which specific rhythms he chooses to follow. All in all his flow to the music is there."I guess I'm confused on what you mean flowing to the music", because his whole style literally depends on him connecting to the music. No bad vibes btw just wanna understand what yall mean 🙏🏾❤💯
@@dwking-pt8hg If you watch him from when he was unstoppable in 2014 era you could see he didn’t stick to a specific beat he had a connection to the music and was able to transition emphasize different sounds while maintaining a certain level of rhythm and connection there was more variety of movement, levels changes in a way that made his rounds amazing. Now it’s all isolations and too much beat killing and resets. Here’s an example Larry 2014 fusion concept ua-cam.com/video/tnVPQ9Ssrqg/v-deo.html
Even 2018 larry at montreal still had a better range of movements and still stayed connected even if he had less flow ua-cam.com/video/pBy4uoK3y44/v-deo.html
Compared to Larry all 4 war battle 2021 so many isolations that it looks ridiculous ua-cam.com/video/DUACiFR598I/v-deo.html
Or
Larry Hip Hop Code 2022 pretty flat wouldn’t you say? ua-cam.com/video/V1lPBpvWRp0/v-deo.html
Compared to this ua-cam.com/video/FhZOBSPfk3c/v-deo.html better connection while playing with the beat rather than attacking it constantly he just doesn’t have that umph he used to.
Hey hey
You should check LONGOMO vs LAURENT, and let us know what you think
Larry/laurent needs to be different to his brother...being the same would hurt them because they would purely compete, they also need to be and feel different from each other, I think this is always the case with brothers and especially twins. Larry can be really similar to Laurent I think but they need(!) To be different so they separate and differ with that. And because dancing is a huge part of their personality it really shows.
Larry = makes his extreme points in being steady, extreme technical.
Laurent = More loose, changing up more things. (Don't know the vocabular, sorry)
So... did you get hit with copyright?😁😁
😆Not Your Savior
😂its so funny how u be ready to troll larry but fr this exchange🔥nothing but clear technical dancing from both styles
also soyuz body creativity & control is just mind blowing like how
and larry’s footwork is absolutely the cleanest & doesn’t get high praised enough
💖💔💖💔😅
23:08 not “what tik tokers wanna be”😭😭😭 … funny but never mention tik tokers n les twins in the same sentence again👀
Wow alot of bad words toward Larry !!! Basically, saying he only win battles if his friends are on the judges panel or he only dance one way !!!!
I see your point, but I think this is overly harsh on Larry. I think you have to consider his whole catalog and his age to understand that he has shown great vocabulary, passion, and personality. Like another poster said, I think Larry is very opinionated and just trying to dance. He's not exactly on the same path as Laurent, and that's fine. It's okay not to be the very best or have the most vocabulary or what have you. He's just a guy who dances on a high level who loves to dance his way. Considering his catalog and impact, that's more than okay; he's great despite all the rest of the stuff.
I literally said this. He's of course going to dance how he wants and doesn't need to conform to anyone's opinion. However, things that can only improve your craft I can't see how it would be a problem to address or create a conversation around it. It's not relevant to bring up the things you're specifying when we're talking about now or it'd make everything about these rounds irrelevant. He's always been great and will always be great. None of these rounds take away from his greatness. Irrelevant to speak on that because it goes without saying but either way, he's great on some Tony the Tiger type shit
@@metalspalace Larry doesn’t lack vocabulary. He just doesn’t get in those pockets as Laurent would. There are some events or workshops were he is in his bag and uses a lot of vocabularies.
@@metalspalace Sure, but I think as you get older and more set in dance it can get harder in many ways to "improve" indefinitely. Also, to add to that point, this kind of level of competition is essentially athletic dance, and I guess what I see from Larry is that he is showing us that he an artist AND an incredible athlete. That's hard to maintain as you get older, but he is clearly doing it.
@@czip2984 I said this before, but I think he's in a "if it ain't broke don't fix it mindset" every year they both switch their style, but Laurents is WAYYYYY more drastic than Larry
just looking at Laurents Battle Bad compared to his rounds in Next Urban Legend, Larry is the same dude for the most part .... with Laurent even from the last battle to his freestyle in their Paris workshop I saw HELLA new moves. Larry it seems like hell tweak a little here and there, but everything remains the same for the most part.
I saw in the comments of the video somebody said Larry had a injury to his leg before this battle
Soyuz is moving well, but not really dancing, what did he expressed through his moves? Larry embarks you in his world from the start and even if he has signature moves, he always come with a surprise.
Yall expecting wayy too much from larry.....he is who he is.....it's like yall want the man to be reborn every year 🤧😪.
It's hard to not to when deadass every year thats what Laurent does he's even added new power moves than last year too, but people got to stop comparing🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
@@makesmartTROYces yea I get the criticism, everything could always be better type beat. On the other hand I feel like we gotta let dancers be comfortable in their styles, otherwise they conform into something less unique. But yea the comparisons gotta stop too 😂
1.Anyone who says larry dont sit in pockets didnt see the first round
2.Anyone who says Larry doesnt connect to the music hasnt been paying attention to all rounds.Soyuz movements were very repetitive.Larry went through pop,afro and other styles throughout all rounds.
3.Anyone who says Larry does not build off a motif clearly didnt pay attention to round 2 when he dropped or round 1 where he shot the bullet caught it and developed the motif,or round 3 where he developed the motif of the cigar on the floor.
4.Anyone who says Larry was repetitive clearly didnt observe Soyuz.
Yall be moving blind wtf.Also Metal lit analysis but consider acc observing Larry.Been hearing Larry back in the day was better,but im seeing more control and less stiffness over his moves now than before.Once again yall moving blind.Just look before formulating a contradictory truce against Larry.
Love
Thank you!😂
Lol 😆 thank you because I don’t what he was talking about.
Exactly!
… if you a hater, just say that.🙄 Respect ya more if you would be honest that you a hater
Larry was definitely injured, he said so himself. He clearly tapered off as it got worse throughout the set. I still think there were some fire rounds from him, Jesus Christ. I see people in the comments being hyper critical of an injured dancer in a non-battle exchange of ideas, come on guys 🤣 also go watch the clear audio. I don't care if people want to say Larry is doing tried and tested moves, so what. Go look how he beat kills on the clear audio. Nobody can do that, nobody, so disrespectful to try take away from him because of this chilled event where he was injured 😄 and as for trying to say the guy locked into only classic popping moves was somehow better because it was consistent?? Yoh the urge to be contrarian is strong here. On the one hand predictability from Larry is bad, but from Soyuz it's great?? The takes here are all over the place
That 1 round shi is not it.
for me Larry doesn't lack vocabulary he lacks hip hop.. he just Identify himself as an " hip hop new style" .. even Laurent said that
it's just who he is, its invalid for anyone to say they lack hip hop because they wouldn't have been hip hop judges for Juste Debout 2 years in a row, or even accepted into hip hop competitions.
I think he doesn't lack anything but these last couple of years he's become too stationary. I remember back in the days he had a lot of range and style
@@makesmartTROYces I'm not saying " they " I'm talking about Larry .. laurent said that Larry identify himself as new style hip hop .. and he definitely doesn't have that much groove or pounce in his dance as Laurent does .. and that's okay it doesn't take away anything from him .. he is still one of the greatest.. and they're the greatest
@@mustafamahmoud4997 Oh nah I know bro lol, I feel you completely. I was just adding my opinion on similar topic
Hip hop is hip hop
Larry swings his arms and body around very fast then catches a beat. That’s some foogazi stuff, people always fall for it
Now that’s not true. Larry problem is that he has separated himself from purely hip hop to all styles. So he dances with a mix of the fundamentals he got from hip hop with his high level isolation, pace, and musicality. He adds to that animation and sometimes krump. I think that’s because he didn’t wanna dance like Laurent. Laurent is really true to hip hop. Now Laurent can also do all styles sometimes, but he never loses the groove of hip hop. Larry at times get in that pocket like when battled rubix recently. But it’s something that he doesn’t use consistently. His dance is easy to identify meaning that you can’t hide that you’re copying his style.
@@yannyowane795 niggas can't hide it lmao honestly who do you see out here copying laurent or other dancers, they dance in a way as to where you rllu can't replicate the feeling buh with larry its almost like a popper where you can pretty much replicate everything except his sauce and dynamics.
