Yes, money does make the world go round, but that doesn't mean an event can't be had without corporate sponsorship. Look at the early Freestyle Sessions, BOTY, and even the BBoy Summits- those were done with local and scene sponsorship. It's the big money prizes that require the big sponsor names and that is what corrupts the scene. The problem, I think, is that it has become such a standard to have huge venues, huge sterile circles, and huge money prizes, that when the corporations do want to
i love how two rival countries with so much history of hatred towards one another grouped together for the sake of art and representing asians. team asia ftw!
Man, even though Thesis is so young, you would never be able to tell by his dancing. Such confidence and perfection from such a young bboy is amazing! Great battle. Machine at the end.... mindblowing
I don't know about moonsojung, but I feel that corporate entities should not be involved in sponsoring bboys, ever. This (and hip hop in general) should never be bigger than an expression of yourself. Who the hell needs corporations to sponsor that? This is a main reason why the dance, the culture exploded in the first place: it represented the essence of self in such a way that most people couldn't fully understand it.. and that in itself brings some serious soul to the equation.
in agree with you entirely, but the problem with that is who would fund these events if it werent for corporate sponsorship? it may be sad but money does make the world go round.
I think narumi & shie chan is in the crowd!! I maybe wrong, but it looks like them.Correct me if i'm wrong? Narumi in the white with a camera & shie in a brown/maroon shirt. I know they competed in this ibe against france. That would've have been dope if they battled!!
I just notice that Thesis was biting Toyz. lol but they have similar stylez but the ending to his first set is EXACTLY how toyz does his lol. I cant wait to c those two battle.
Japan side was Katsu from Style Vale Tudo/MZK. You might be confusing Katsu as Taisuke. Now you may be talking about Taisuke killing it in this entire IBE event in maybe the other battles like against Europe, but as for this very video clip we are commenting under, Taisuke did not even come out once. If he did, show me where because I just looked through this whole video clip again and first guy out was Thesis, last was Machine, and in between that Taisuke is nowhere to be found dancing.
Darkness was in IBE 2005 :P but don't expect your fav bboy to be in as specific event, I mean I wish darkness was in this one but when he was in his 25s :P
both korea/Japan and the US are good in both ways - I am no dancer but every bboy dance their best - so if you are not a dancer, at all, just shut up and watch the video instead of being super-protective of your fav crew.
be involved more, there won't be much hesitation. I can see it happening already. It's not nearly as bad as the 80s-- when corporate greed nearly gutted the scene to oblivion-- but it's still quite a looming threat.
lol sprry i dont know which comment ur replying to. i posted so many times on this vid. uh i guess ur talking about kandoll. yea i do see him much either. the last i saw him he was on some korean dream team along w/ Bruse Lee, The End, Snake, and some guy from NEWEST crew. but yea i wish i could c more of him.
MZK fest starting Born went out, then it was Katsu, Smurf, Kazuhiro (could be wrong about Kazu), Alien Ness, then you could see Katsu and Born talking about their commando. Haha, thats MZK love...
Dude, Taisuke didn't even come out once in this part 1 video, not once. He came out later on in like part 2 or 3, yes around one time. But as for this video we're commenting under right now, Taisuke did not come out even once, the guy who came out most from Korea
It's funny because it always seems like katsu & born think of each other as rivals. There both in zulu & they both hit beats. U can tell whenever either go in the other seems anxious. Idk i maybe wrong:}-
lol at 00:50. Japan/Korea were probably the only team who did that, gathering in a circle & probably chanting something. Or I could be wrong & they were just listening to a translator..
Damn this battle was tight! I kinda wished Bboy Kandoll (Expression) was there in the, he woulda' killed with his insane footwork. Oh well he's not very well known, but it woulda been nice seeing Snake or Physicx too. Machine, Thesis, and Luigi were killin' it too! Does anyone know the song starting at 2:53?
the end of the first taisuke set was great, before smurf, he break the song with very style. even without physicx the korean team was fantastic, but yes, i miss he =(, xD MACHINE WAS SICK!!, i think that his set is one of the best, all the moments of this.
haha.. yeah, man .. but it seems that anyone in mzk are seen as the cream of the crop, yah ?.. best of the best kinda thing .. are there any other worldwide crews ard ?.. (spinkingz ?)
![Korea/Japan vs USA [1/3] (IBE 2008)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/W2mF6VG6KxQ/mqdefault.jpg)
I have no idea how Machine and Born always hit the beats consistently. It never fails to amaze me.
I didn't know Johnny Depp bboyed 0:06
Well the song that starts right at 1:21, after the intro is DJ Format - Lords Of Cardboard
This was a really sick battle!
Both sides were incredible.
Differ is my hero.

machine has to be one of the best beat-rockers ever!
For me 2008 was one of the bests IBE
My god, I've never heard of machine, but his last set was sooo fucking dope. And damn... Hong 10 with those 1 handed halos...
i love how bboy smurf wears all RED lol
No doubt, that guy's so under rated and his footwork is unimaginably swift.
i love how two rival countries with so much history of hatred towards one another grouped together for the sake of art and representing asians. team asia ftw!
The remix is either done by dj element or dj timbers. The Original song is called Dj Format - Lord of the Cardbord. Enjoy.
You are absolutely right man. Thank you for having a decent grasp on reality, unlike some others on youtube.
Man, even though Thesis is so young, you would never be able to tell by his dancing. Such confidence and perfection from such a young bboy is amazing!
Great battle. Machine at the end.... mindblowing
Holland, I think all IBE events are held in holland. Its dope to see new younger generation come out, im excited for 2009.

actually lords of cardboard from dj format is a remix, the originial is that from dj timber
Just see the lineup of Japan/Korea, all the stars are all inside, styler, powermover, blowups, you name it.
Yeah I saw that one too. The guy from NEWEST crew was Jong Min and apparently he was also part of Expression. They probably just messed up there.
song at 2:53
poets of rhythm-north carolina
smurf and hong 10 was good, damn!
first song:
Earth dance - Bobby Bryant
I think Machine has the best backflip to splits I've ever seen.
in agree with you entirely, but the problem with that is who would fund these events if it werent for corporate sponsorship? it may be sad but money does make the world go round.
thanks for uploading this BboySoulz
i dont know if great man is in all area. but i do know that Kazuhiro is. and yea ur right. but at least its a step up from ibe 2005 usa team.
I think narumi & shie chan is in the crowd!! I maybe wrong, but it looks like them.Correct me if i'm wrong? Narumi in the white with a camera & shie in a brown/maroon shirt. I know they competed in this ibe against france. That would've have been dope if they battled!!
Forreal? When? I BARELY see him anymore, I don't think he's even part of Expression now...
Are you talking about just this clip or the whole three part video?
I only recall him coming out once in this video, with the jackhammers to the beat.
No one noticed lil bob (red jacket) comically coming in with Korea and Japan instead of the US team? 0:43
I just notice that Thesis was biting Toyz. lol but they have similar stylez but the ending to his first set is EXACTLY how toyz does his lol. I cant wait to c those two battle.

Darkness was in IBE 2005 :P but don't expect your fav bboy to be in as specific event, I mean I wish darkness was in this one but when he was in his 25s :P
@BboyMattie man i was looking for machine n kid david 2 but yea this ibe team still beast.
watching Kazuhiro then Smurf is amazing... like watching 2 tornados
both korea/Japan and the US are good in both ways - I am no dancer but every bboy dance their best - so if you are not a dancer, at all, just shut up and watch the video instead of being super-protective of your fav crew.
the music is so much better than in same battle 2005
be involved more, there won't be much hesitation. I can see it happening already. It's not nearly as bad as the 80s-- when corporate greed nearly gutted the scene to oblivion-- but it's still quite a looming threat.
naw theres a lot from cali.
Machine,lil bob, thesis(i think), smurf, ruen,
lol sprry i dont know which comment ur replying to. i posted so many times on this vid. uh i guess ur talking about kandoll. yea i do see him much either. the last i saw him he was on some korean dream team along w/ Bruse Lee, The End, Snake, and some guy from NEWEST crew. but yea i wish i could c more of him.
oh most definitely
lol you could see at 5:40. Born wanting to battle ness. Like they did at ibe 05
katsu > born commandos at 6:05
made my day
I like how Youval just shouts a random area code at 3:52 lol.. "The 999"
if they were only supposed to take one person from each crew, y did both Katsu and Taisuke compete?
MZK fest starting Born went out, then it was Katsu, Smurf, Kazuhiro (could be wrong about Kazu), Alien Ness, then you could see Katsu and Born talking about their commando. Haha, thats MZK love...
ok cuz kazuhiro, katsu, and taisuke are in the same crew so i was confused.
its just a commando, its like a tag in tag out. im pretty sure more than 500 people in the world have done it.
it doesnt matter cause katsu, born are also part or MZK which is an american crew XD
soon as the mc said street masters I almost died ...legendary Miami bboy crew
one of the best battles ive ever seen
Machine my favorite ❤
Dude, Taisuke didn't even come out once in this part 1 video, not once. He came out later on in like part 2 or 3, yes around one time.
But as for this video we're commenting under right now, Taisuke did not come out even once, the guy who came out most from Korea
very nice way to start the battle two great similar styles thesis and wing
there are some straight raw sets in this battle!
That would be cool if dragon from foundnation was in this. He's also from MZK. Would have been cool to see a routine with dragon & taisuke
Youval gets them wrong sometimes..lol..
he did alot at IBE 05' too.
It's funny because it always seems like katsu & born think of each other as rivals. There both in zulu & they both hit beats. U can tell whenever either go in the other seems anxious. Idk i maybe wrong:}-
on the usa side u forgot to mention Mijo on the description
He went out like once...
Legend battle
Timber rocked that battle...nasty beats
it´s called earth song or something like that
Machine killed that beat at the end.
El primer beat ¿Como se llama?
BOOM, thank you man =D
most favorite battle
machine is frukn dope at the end
lol at 00:50. Japan/Korea were probably the only team who did that, gathering in a circle & probably chanting something. Or I could be wrong & they were just listening to a translator..
what song is all the Jazz samples from on the first song?
Damn this battle was tight! I kinda wished Bboy Kandoll (Expression) was there in the, he woulda' killed with his insane footwork. Oh well he's not very well known, but it woulda been nice seeing Snake or Physicx too. Machine, Thesis, and Luigi were killin' it too!
Does anyone know the song starting at 2:53?
lol, why is my comment about bboy Kandoll having amazing footwork given a thumbs down?
whats the song machine rips apart
0:43 lil bob came out in Korea/Japan line looooooooooool surely because he is also asian, nobody noticed him hahaha
favorite part .. ending. machine killed it.
what was the last song machine killed called?
the end of the first taisuke set was great, before smurf, he break the song with very style.
even without physicx the korean team was fantastic, but yes, i miss he =(, xD
MACHINE WAS SICK!!, i think that his set is one of the best, all the moments of this.
LOL! Lil' Bob went in with Korea/Japan.
Funny guy.
haha.. yeah, man ..
but it seems that anyone in mzk are seen as the cream of the crop, yah ?.. best of the best kinda thing .. are there any other worldwide crews ard ?..

HMMM...... Last time i checked i think they were all in the same crew.......hmmm i might be wrong

USA is really agressive here hahaha

Chill...you can't expect your favourite bboy to be in a specific battle.
Tyquan was there too ..MZK
Can anyone tell me the name of the first song (with the claping) ?
Thanks!
lol we know they are just probably saying that they ripped it not literally won the event

id say in this battle, they were about equal
Its for sure not american only, its universal.
oh.. floorgangz is a worldwide crew ?.. but yeah, theyre good, i knw ..
