bro at this point brez is the trung bao of looping
Trung Brezo
Brez Bao, the tag team no one expects
@@hisokabeatbox9053 more like napom of looping
I think there is no one that can be compared to BreZ in the wildcards
Trung bao is always the last at gbb 😂
Once Brez wins a GBB, he have one of the biggest inspirational "never give up" runs in Beatbox History
Robin also
@@anubratachakraborty8962 yep. aside that Robin only lost 2 GBB quarter finals (3 if included World Champs vs Saro) but still, point stands. 🫶
Si lo hiciera bien, al igual que en sus wildcard seguro, pero siempre pierde en cuartos
Ye well probably he is going to be sick "again" or his "audio check" willbe bad or he comes up with something else :D
@@eamxyzptlk his “audio check being bad” was somethin you just made up. He said he changed his volumes before the battle and it’s actually kinda obvious. Also AVH was just a great opponent
Brez is like Lewandowski, deserves a ballon d'or, but for some reason still doesn't have it and nobody can explain why
messi here
Last year Brez was actually extremely ill, he was plugged to external devices for medical assistance. He got better in time for GBB, but then changed his settings before his battle against AVH and it messed up his mix. He admitted it was a mistake
true...
@@JohnBLZbrez is fire on 2019 and 2021
@@Sammy-fk1su yes, doesn't change the fact he got Ill last year
GBB24 WILDCARD WINNERS
TIMESTAMPS:
0:05 - Raje (6th)
3:32 - Yaswede (5th)
7:05 - SyJo (4th)
10:36 - Cardona (3rd)
14:13 - Josh O (2nd)
17:25 - BreZ (1st) (DROPPED OUT, Now 808Banon)
-------------------
QUALIFIED:
-Matej (GBB23 Vice Champ)
-Duncan (Beatland Battle Champ)
GBB24 LOOPSTATION QF as of now (?):
-Matej vs Raje
-Duncan vs Yaswede
-808Banon (Formerly BreZ) vs SyJo
-Josh O vs Cardona
GBB24 QFs (due to changes)
-Matej vs 808Banon
-Raje vs Duncan
-Yaswede vs Josh O
-SyJo vs Cardona
I’m PRAYING this QF lineup isn’t accurate or changes.. Brez vs Syjo is at least Semi-Final worthy imo
@@xexcalibure3222It is accurate, so someone needs to drop out for it to change 😭
This would make the most sense. Josh O vs Cardona is a great matchup and Syjo vs Brez would be bonkers as a quarter final… if Syjo brings his full potential, we might actually see Brez out in the quarters again
Wait what happened to robin?
¿Robin no participará?
Cardona out here being UNIQUE, didn't really look at loop wildcards this time around but i might have to after listening to these
He sounds kinda like Robin (in a good way)
agree
@@crizzlibaer
Saaaaame!!!
So now Brez should join gbb from semi final to finally be a gbb champ
Xdd yeah
He against Syjo tho, so he most likely needs to go all out
@@sussy4099 its not the producer category syjo, its the looper syjo. Brez should win that optimistically
@@Flaginafingiesehh, parasite is a pretty good round, so is distraction. Syjo has a better shot than you think
@@Neon1880Bro don't judge too soon 😂😂
Last time (at a german championship) when SyJo performed ,Distraction' live he fucked it up completely:)) soooo much feedback and a lot of mistakes, because it s a reaaally hard track to do
Sooo, SyJo better be choosing wisely which tracks to perform against BreZ
Otherwiiiise..... 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hello im in gbb
Underrated comment
About time, well deserved!
Yasssss, WEDEEEEE 🎉🤑
nice broooo!!!!😊
Hello you are gbb 🔥
Syjo vs brez is gonna be an insane battle! I wouldn’t be surprised if brez loses somehow again in the quarters💀
I wouldn't judge that too soon tho:)))
Last time (in a german championship) when SyJo performed ,Distraction' live he fucked it up completely:))) a loot of feedback and other stuff..
Soo SyJo rather has to choose wisely which track to do against BreZ, otherwiiise 😂😂😂
@@benbeatbeatbox-loopingtuto2389He is only saying that it won't be surprising because Syjo's rounds are great and complex as well.
He is not saying Syjo is more likely to win, but considering Brez's previous QF record this is a tough matchup as well.
Also is it confirmed Brez vs Syjo? Isn't Matej and Duncan also participating?
@@AbhishekNair2k Battles are:
Matej vs Raje
Duncan vs Yaswede
Brez vs SyJo
Josh O vs Cardona
Matej is considered as 1st and Duncan counts as 2nd:))
And about that, yes you're right as well, but SyJo also had massive feedback in world champs so we will see how this is turning out I guess 😎✌🏻
@@benbeatbeatbox-loopingtuto2389Thanks man.
Yeah, also crazy how Syjo had sound issues in World Champs and Brez got sound issues in GBB, the two main competitions, and they are going to go against each other. Pretty sure most hyped battle of this lineup
@@AbhishekNair2k thanks for clarifying my point, that’s what I wanted to say. I really feel like if there isn’t a major surprise that battle might decide who wins this year
i truly miss the elimination format
same, from a spectator POV at least. I can imagine it would really suck to qualify, take time off work or life, fly out to location for at least a few days, finally get to the stage, and then before you even get to battle anyone you get eliminated 💀💀💀
me too😢
My gbb wildcard "Textures" is available on all streaming platforms! (so spotify too
Congratz bro!!!!
sick!! congrats, bro!!
Im glad there are new people in gbb this year like raje and cardona they deserve it.
Brez consistency to reach top 3 of Wilcards year after year is absolutely amazing!!!
It has to be his year!!! 🔥🔥🔥
That is absolutely wild to not have lennard, banon, or tako. They were top 6 easily, thank god raje and yaswede made it though...
I mean Banon is 7 and Lennard 8 so... and in the end its a top 6, you want to tell me the others are that bad?
@@xderleonx7227 I mean I would take banon and Lennard over Syjo, Cardona and Brez all day everyday (I am talking about the wildcard not the beatboxer itself)
Should be Raje, Yaswede, Lennard, Josh-O, Banon and Junno for me
Yea especially Banon that wildcard is probably the best loop wildcard ever shown
@@Guswsb52Reading that, it tells me you have a style preference which makes or breaks it for you. The judges all said it was really really close and it was pulling at the finest hairs to make differences in rankings for the top 20. Honestly as much as there are other wildcards I'd personally rank higher, I say respect to everyone for their performance and a congratulations to those in.
So many great loop wildcards this year. I love this top 6, well deserved. Congrats guys.👏👏👍
Quarterfinals:
Matej 🇦🇹 VS Raje 🇮🇳
Josh O 🇺🇸 VS Cardona 🇪🇸
808Banon 🇺🇸 VS Syjo 🇩🇪
Duncan 🇭🇰 VS Yaswede 🇧🇪
(808Banon 🇺🇸 will act as a replacement for BreZ 🇫🇷)
Make your predictions guys.
My predictions:
Quarterfinals:
Matej 🇦🇹 VS Raje 🇮🇳 = Raje 🇮🇳
Josh O 🇺🇸 VS Cardona 🇪🇸 = Josh O 🇺🇸
808Banon 🇺🇸 VS Syjo 🇩🇪 = 808Banon 🇺🇸
Duncan 🇭🇰 VS Yaswede 🇧🇪 = Yaswede 🇧🇪
Semifinals:
Raje 🇮🇳 VS Josh O 🇺🇸 = Raje 🇮🇳
808Banon 🇺🇸 VS Yaswede 🇧🇪 = Yaswede 🇧🇪
Small Final:
Josh O 🇺🇸 VS 808Banon 🇺🇸 = 808Banon 🇺🇸
Final:
Raje 🇮🇳 VS Yaswede 🇧🇪 = Yaswede 🇧🇪
@@VeggaFR brez vs syjo gonna be wild
@@VeggaFRI don’t see how Raje is beating Matej though. Matej has battle experience, Raje doesn’t. Plus Matej proved himself last year
@@VeggaFR i don't see a world where matej loses in quarters. he's vice champion with like 2 weeks to prepare. it just doesn't make sense for him to go out against someone who has never been to the event at all before
Duncan is from hongkong bro
Since the quality becomes more and more uniform can you expand the number of participants from 8 to 16 next year? Or maybe 12 with 1st round as showcase? We truly want to see more loopers perform in GBB
gbb21 had round of 16 battles, but they went back to quarter finals at gbb23 and tbh i think its a good decision because preparing 8 3+ minutes rounds is very hard for the loopers and it showed in the quality of the rounds imo
@@crazepaze4919 in gbb21 they had eliminations for looping, then top 8 was selected, i dont think there was round of 16 battles
@@dodowormhe’s thinking of solo where each beatboxer had to prepare 8 rounds
@@ecciq they literally had 3 days for battles that too 2 new categories were introduced last year. also showcases are also needed for fans otherwise it will be boring for crowd too, but i kinda agree with you loop should also have elimination rounds just like solo.
@@dodowormim the crowd and i dont need showcases instead of ro16 😮
Never heard of Cardona before but i really like it. Such a unique style like Robin
Nooooo...lennard 😭😭😭
he got ripped
Brez has to finally win this!! He is one of the most experienced loopers. He might as well sit among the jurors. At this point, no one deserved it as much as he
If the judges don't come up with another excuse, he wins the GBB.
Antrix and Lennard absolutely snubbed
Agreed
idk about lennard but i was sure this time that antrix won't be in top 6

808banon not making it in is a crime
What about Friidon?
Balance over Nils kinda insane
@@adeadbushthey only showed Top 20 and announced on stream that Balance was 21st and Nils was 22nd. 🙌
Are they really only getting 6 people to make it in? Don't they normally do 16?
All the loopers in top 6 put in great work. I, like many others don’t completely agree, but they are all great artists. Big congratulations to all who made it.
To give praise to someone not mentioned much and add positivity to the thread, I was thrilled to see Rudi score so high. I found it one of my most played wild cards, personally, and in musicality it beat almost all the top 12, IMHO. Keep it up.
*BREZ VS SYJO WILL BE EPIC*
You know battles ?
@@Arthur_Untied I know Gbb champ ,you talking about battle boi
@@Mister_bbx I mean how do you know the battles schedule ?
@@Arthur_Untied it's if it happens situation
@@Arthur_UntiedPeople just know how the seeding is done, Matej counts as 1st, Duncan 2nd, and the wildcard winners as 3rd through 8th. This means the battles are Matej vs Raje, Duncan vs Yaswede, BreZ vs SyJo, and Josh O vs Cardona.
Loop is where it’s at! You want to go to move your body, look no further. I’m 50, and the only track that had me moving was LENNARD!!! I’m acting like I was 20 again, it’s amazing what can be done. Can’t wait for the rest, much love!!
Cardona = goosebumps ❤
Shoutout to Tako, Impedance and Mahiro
HELL YEEAHHHH 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Congratulations to those who passed Wildcard🎉🎉🎉
It was the best music🎤🎤🎤
But,I'm so disappointed that Junno and MAHIRO couldn't pass😭😭😭
I love the music they have🎼🎼🎼
At least it was deeply engraved in my heard❤❤❤
Nobody want to feel alone gave me goosebumps. ❤️
ほとんど現場慣れしてる人ばっかだから、めっちゃ白熱したバトルになりそう
Devastated that Mirsa didn’t make the cut. Big ups to everyone that got in tho!!
LETS FKIN GO BREZZZZZ
There are so many good loopers, 6 spots seams very few to me. Happy for BreZ and Cardona in, very well deserved, but sad we're no having Balance, AVH, Nils, Mirsa and Banon in it 😪
Banon is easily in if someone drops out, since he got 7th place.
@@ajesco yeah at least he is close to the top 6
Cardona gives me Robin vibes. Such chill music, great voice.
I heard 5 seconds and my head was screaming: ROBIN
I literally feel like crying whenever i listen to Brez the fact that this man hasn't won multiple gbb titles is actually baffling to me he is an absolute god and hi. dropping out of the competition has genuinely ruined it for me
For sure,Cardona gave me the vibe of SARO and ROBIN together...
Truely Holistic ❤
Yes ! i love him
I think this year's loop division will be the most competitive and the best year ever !!
And on top of that, I hope BREZ wins 🔥❤LFG🔥🔥
If the judges don't come up with another excuse, he wins.
@@Michaelsilva336 The gbb judges lack fairness.
i love cardona's wildcard sooooooooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice transitions 👍🏼
Brez vs Syjo is gonna be crazy af🔥
BreZ needs godpower this year to be able to pass through the quarters
Ya like I’m so deadass, but all his other quarter final battles were tough, but this looks to be the hardest one for him. NME vs Brez was a very close matchup, and Brez vs Rythmind really should’ve gone to Brez, but against SYJO???? He’s gonna need to prepare his best 2 rounds because I don’t see any round he’s done before this beating parasite and distraction if performed well
@@Neon1880 SYJO is a beast 😭
*_That 3rd place story is crazy 💯_*
I'm so upset AVH didn't make it. The cleanest looper in recent times.
agreed,Im a fun of AVH but I think rn looping is evolving. Now it's all about the sickest drops.
@@stephanotthen again though, Cardona made it in sooo
@@KorZen10 fr how was cardona top 3 but avh didnt make it. also impedence and tako???? how arent they top 11
@@darkknight3037 yeah I'm also disappointed by these results
@@darkknight3037avh probably was not technical enough compared to cardona. And musicality was also probably higher
Brez is no joke the mbappe of looping
LOL😂
GBB24 WILL REALLY BE INSANE!💥😎 It's a shame that some loopers didn't win, such as MAHIRO, IMPEDANCE, RUSHY and many others...😢 I'm happily awaiting the winners of the producer category!😍💪
Yeaaaah just weeed entered this year🔥🔥
This is exactly how I needed to start my day ❤
Banon not making top 6 is a crime.
He had a bad take on the submitted wildcard, the version on his channel isnt the one he submitted
@@Lunkieeven with the take he submitted, it’s still easily a top 3 wildcards for me, he’s just on a different level of MK2 to compose full songs like he does, it’s insane
The fact that Lennard is behind Cardona means he's never winning GBB because they want a different product, nothing you can do about that, is really just sad.
one is generic and the other one is fresh and unique. the genre doesnt matter at the end of the day as long as the actual MUSIC is good and stands out
@@jacoblunchbox9499 I respectfully completely disagree, Cardona sings very well, but is not what I would like to see in a batlle, but again we are just fans. I am disapointed that the same thing, wins wildcards every year. Brez is great, but at this point we should give him a permanent 1st place.
@@Guswsb52 excactly cardona is not what YOU would like to so but the judges want to see him so go and cry
Its about preference, I prefer cardona you prefer lennard but its just opinions nothing more
@@Guswsb52 i agree with it not being great battle music but when it comes to the wildcards, i think its just about the actual song/music. these are just assumptions tho. i was surprised to see some people in certain spots but nothing on the list really surprised me. i love brez and 1st place makes sense, im excited to see if he takes it all. i have a good feeling about matej, syjo and josh o about giving him a tough time.
@@loblud4437 you don't need to disrespect other people to share what you think, I can only speak for me, not for others, so grow up and learn to have a civilized conversation
This year the BreZ will really explode on the stage.
Need 808 bannon and lennard
Idk might fck around and just pray for Brez to go far this year
10:37
IM SO PROUD being from Spain 🇪🇸
Thank you Cardona for the incredible wildcard and all other participants .
I've been listening to Brez for a long, long time and really want him to win. SyJo and ze Germans are comin' on strong. But y'all don't sleep on Josh O. Pretty sure he's working on some new new
Brez will not go to GBB
Stacked! 🔥
JOSH-O! you made it🔥🔥🔥
Cardona video and the lyric tell so much about feeling.. Remarkable!
OH I LOVE CARDONA
DALEEEEE CARDONNAAAAA
Brez wildcard is another level of loopstation
This year brez take the crown....... remember me brez...☢
Im sad that Antrix and Mirsa didnt made it in but its a strong list

Lennard better be in gbb 25 he would be so good on stage
Brez vs Syjo is a crime.
Okay but how did Lennard not qualify, his wildcard was insane?!
I honestly think a lot of the 11-7 were better than the some 6-1. All are amazing but it’s disappointing to only have a top 8 when there is so much deserving talent.
Maybe regional loopstation competitions might happen in the coming days
Brez VS Syjo and I'm HERE FOR IT!
19:58 / my bro literally have some sort of holy light before his drop🔥
The amount of musical innovation that is in all the loop wildcards is crazy!! Mainstream producers, please come here and listen to this stuff!!
I think this category must be scale up for audiences. Loop categories is popular ,so I want to illumination into top 16
Brez this has to be the best time for your redemption , dont miss this opportunity!
Sad to not see AVH up here, he's performance was top 3 IMO 😢
Yes But first i think him #3 is no.
Let's go raje 🔥🔥🔥🔥
WOW. WHAT A LINE UP
Sad about 808Bannon, but glad to see Brez continuing to dominate the wildcard game.
Cardona underrated him so good
Brez’s round is a global album worthy. Just wow! 🔥🔥🔥
so.. gbb without dice??? does anyone know anything about that? he had just 2 rounds in the last gbb and they are top10 ALL GBB2023.. he literally just got unlucky to go against robin. honestly, without dice I'll feel like something is missing - hes definitely a contender for top3 easily
he has to go to military for some time. Maybe he‘ll come back after
complaining this much whilst not knowing he didnt even wildcard is crazy
@@BALDOCK_BBX that was the whole point of my comment. I was surprised he didnt try to qualify as I'd put him in my top3.
Why be so mad? I feel sorry for you.
@@tfsmarvin youre the one mad xD prolly more upset than dice is to lose robin or whatever youre complaining about!
808Banon wildcard was insane, I can't understand how's not in
Bad mixing. His revised version was much better and would’ve made it in
Brez- это другой уровень
The level of participants is getting lower and lower every year, they need to change something about the judging system, cause i can tell already it will be another boring loopstaion year just like last year
We watching the same video?
Raje alone dunks on the 2023's top 5 combined
@@snoopyr1953not even close, sorry, keep in mind BizKit pulled a Rythmind and secured 3rd place after returning to defend his title
Congrats to the winners!!
Syjo will kill everyone ❤️🙆🏻♂️
We need brez champ this year
All Looper’s works in top 6 are wonderful and worthy of a winner, but I’m really sorry that Lennard didn’t come in😢
times go fast, i still stuck at GBB2023
Congratulations
W Line up
So proud of my man Raje representing our nation 🇮🇳
Shoutout to Pacmax for the Work!
LESSSS GOOOOOOO JOSHHHHH
Last time Robin , This time BreZ lets gooo❤❤❤
GBB24 loops: "oh you have a nice melody, you get a spot"
So, flaws, long build ups, weak drops and bad breaks doesn't even matter anymore?
This is not meant as a front, but I only get place 2 and 1 for being musically perfect executed.
I know there is more to it, but except for Syjo and Brez the most stuff is just good and I heard better wildcards.
It's just my opinion, you can agree or disagree.
But congrats to all who made it in and good luck. Maybe I'm convinced in the battles, who knows.
YAP
cardona is brilliant, love his vid
I'm going to be absolutely honest I think I speak for most of people when I say that no one expected josh o to be in, let alone 2nd place I can name of the top of my head in my opinion like 10+ people I would've put instead of him no offense...
I agree. Idk what it is with Josh O but bro knows how to cheat the system when it comes to wildcards. His mix is usually pretty dogshit like past years wildcards, and KBB he had bad mixing. Lennard and Banon deserved in over Josh O
I could see why people might not like josh o’s style but if you watch judge reactions you’ll realize why he always gets in. Unique Melodie’s that are complex to pull off and smooth flowing tracks. I agree this track is one of his weakest but judges are professionals and I trust their judgement.
@@matthlew yeah but it's the criteria man, like I don't think josh O did anything new this wildcard he hasn't done before so...ion know it's all just weird but I respect the judges desicion obviously but come on now even if I respect him getting in, second place? Really?
@@israelmiranda8397 I do agree that second place is WILD, maybe 6th-5th id say. I do agree he didnt do much new so i think using the criteria a lower placement is valid. But his style just checks most of the boxes and he pulls it off so well each time. I can agree with you though on the second place thing. Kinda crazy
