THANK YOU!! God seriously no one noticed that he wasnt using his old style. He was trying something new. And just to point out being clean si one thing but style is another. Style is power. And I also agree with others on him not trying as hard.
Quite old here. Both were good, but I'm sure u guys all notice Vero gave it out more with time set & energy. Born's set were too short. Pay attention to the time he went in & u'll see.
After countless tries to pitch the original Soul Drums to match this version i've come to the conclusion that this is an different recording. My guess is it's Soul Drums on Bernard Purdie's Jazz Groove Sessions In Tokyo, the last track on the vinyl version of that album
Props to both, during this battle Born's style looks so much different than what it used to be. I agree that his old stuff flows way better. The blow ups, I'm kind of tired seeing that as well but hey it's the man's signature move wait until he creates a new one then.
It's called a bboy lifestyle. Being in hip hop, you have to encompass all elements...swag is just another sub-element to the 4 main elements. The "gangster" swagger you speak of is from mainstream America. The swag that Born has is just his flavor, his style. Born has been around for a real LOOONNG time. He's kept it fresh since the beginning and in no way is he any kind of poser or gangster. It's hip hop. Unity through expression of people in the elements of hip hop. Peace.
That may be the case, but what I'm saying, is that he's never shown any signs previously that that's the way his dancing works. Plus, I'd like to believe he's sets would be better than what was displayed here.
yeah know what you mean, but i actually met born about a month ago and his new style is amazing. ppl cant see it now but just wait till you guys see him come out soon. hes rockin the music like non other :)
vero for the tricks n sick hittin wit the tricks.. and ACTUALLY landing them... born for the flava n musicality to tha beats... vero for the insane power w/tricks....born for the cleansynessssss of his style and movement.. the battle was dope but these are two sick bboys lol :D
@Aminder7 Oh and lol. Better foundation. That's more then obvious. Vero uses his foundation as support for his sets. Born uses his foundation as his sets. If you judge this then yes, Vero won, he actually destroyed the beat but did Born actually try? 1:38 he gives up. 2:41 short style set with his flag thrown in just for cheers. Its pretty clear he didn't.
and oh yea remember, born is also, like i said "also" in mighthy zulu kingz, so its all about flavor, footwork, bringing it back to oldschool but with originality, and dancing to the music....for all of you out there who thinks why born didint pull out amazing power like vero did....
Wow, 1:10 looks like SkillRoy's Hat Trick at Lil Demon's Birthday Party Battle in 2008. Just the backspin part. It's one of his trademarks since the 80's. Look for (happy birthday angelo! part 4) fast forward to 1:11 in the video to see SkillRoy backspin and catch his cap then puts it on his feet...
IMO vero's sets have more power and style in them whereas born has more footwork and style with a bit of power, and i guess most ppl likes seeing power over footwork especially when you do something like that crazy hat routine vero busted out but i gotta say props to born for keepin it fresh
Gotta give it to vero by a slight margin. Born got smoked in the first 3 sets but came up with some style in the latter rounds... but I think he still came short. Didn't look like his usual self. Awesome battle regardless of who won, stylehead forever baby
I gotta admit Born got fried, not becuz he wasnt sick, but cuz vero needed a quarantine for da virus he let out wit dis 1, it's obvious he came in planning to have monster style...don't sleep, born will prally c this as a wake up call tho, good job by both bboyz, specially vero who stepped his game up, which is the reason he took it, it wasnt the amazing landslide make it seem to be tho, born was still killin da beat sumthin sick
Songs: 1-Funkhouse Express - Music Makes You Move: /watch?v=EVo_yyBmyxU 2- ??? 3-Drums of soul: /watch?v=kc2Iq_W--eY But I think its a remix or something
@Aminder7 Lets clearify. You don't judge which Bboy is better by one match. This isn't a card game, there is no definite "better". Especially in a exhibition match. You said Vero is the better "overall" Bboy you could not be more wrong. As for Born's flag it wasn't always his signature move. It was a headspin sidechair grab. Even though he's done flag for years its one of the most unique combos out there. Bboys arely have something so special. His Footwork? B1 and Footwork Challenge Winner.
I respect both bboys, but Vero showed me something different. Born thought he could do those simple moves, but Vero came back with venom. Dope battle,but Vero 4 me - No Doubt!
you cant really say born is overated, ok maybe he doesnt have a lot of flashy moves, but he has madd flavour and rhythm and thats what bboying is all about. He gets a lot of respect because hes a true bboy who dances to the beat and pours his creativty in his art. Thats why he is where he is now.
sometimes u don have to touch all the concepts of dance.. its about question and reply format of a battle. vero started with a question first and born simply didn't have the moves to answer...
Born was awesome, but I have to say, I think Vero has more variety in his power , which gives him a bit more balance and an edge on Born. Not saying that Born doesn't have dope moves, just that I don't think he took Vero seriously, and by the time he did, it was already too late.Both are dope Bboys, but Vero has this round, and imo he deserves it.
I love born but vero is the future, he's just underrated. Born will always be a legend but give born some credit. Only reason people dont know much about him is because its hard to stand out when people like wing, skim, and hong 10 are in your crew lol
Even though theres no winner everyone thinks Vero " won " cause hes doing a lot of crowd pleasers while borns being hella technical and hitting the beats. Which to average eyes may not be as pleasing but you can see vero giving props to it.
hahaha I know I know its just I remember seeing a video of a battle with born vs casper and it had subtitles so casper says " whats with all the kicks in your footwork? " and then born saying in english " ITS MY STYLE, " halo* "ITS MY FLAVOR" I laughed so hard
born's first set was groovy though. obviously he didnt show technique like vero did for this entire battle, but his style was there(maybe not the best for a battle called match one skill). regarding him joining mzk and making all his sets short and choking on the end for most of them, what you guys all say about that, i agree. but shoot, that just makes him a true freestyler and yes, im pretty sure hes still one of the best beat killers
THOSE HAT TRICKS WAS SICK
THANK YOU!! God seriously no one noticed that he wasnt using his old style. He was trying something new. And just to point out being clean si one thing but style is another. Style is power. And I also agree with others on him not trying as hard.
and his footwork is incredibly clean. gotta give him mad props for that too.
Mai gad loco! peazo video que has subido loco el amo xD
Quite old here. Both were good, but I'm sure u guys all notice Vero gave it out more with time set & energy. Born's set were too short. Pay attention to the time he went in & u'll see.
HOLY SHIT! That hat trick that Vero did amazed me. Both did dope.
Vero was really great and dope...He took it for sure..But Born is the best for me!!!!
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose!!!!
After countless tries to pitch the original Soul Drums to match this version i've come to the conclusion that this is an different recording. My guess is it's Soul Drums on Bernard Purdie's Jazz Groove Sessions In Tokyo, the last track on the vinyl version of that album
also vero had some nice ass new sick sets that i've never seen before.
hella nice
1:13 OMFG!!!! dude, i can't believe they brought match one's skills back again, so dope!!
JINJO CREW !!!!!
BORN SMOKED
Born won .!! Style ,Flava , Flow
Props to both, during this battle Born's style looks so much different than what it used to be. I agree that his old stuff flows way better. The blow ups, I'm kind of tired seeing that as well but hey it's the man's signature move wait until he creates a new one then.

Damnnnnnn... What a battle! :)
Vero is a beast!!!
I cannot explain how sick that battle was born with his flava vero with that vero style fuck definitely gonna put this in favorites
dummy3300 what flava are you talking about ??
crush
I liked Vero's set at 1:44 the best. He started with some power in time with the organ, and then finished with clean footwork in time with the beat.
but yo, you gotta admit, that moving three step was so dope, ahaha
Wow, Born got murdered pretty bad. Vero just killed it with the hat trick. Fucken dope battle!
Woah, Vero's tricks are fresh.
i love vero's use of his hat lol. I saw him at an 16 battle against gamblerz b4. Waht crew is he in again?
love the music, props to the bboys, hat thing killed it.
Vero is on the rise baby
3rd song is Bernard Pretty Purdie - Soul Drums
vero for the tricks n sick hittin wit the tricks.. and ACTUALLY landing them... born for the flava n musicality to tha beats... vero for the insane power w/tricks....born for the cleansynessssss of his style and movement.. the battle was dope but these are two sick bboys lol :D
Born's toprock is hella clean.
Love & respect to the king of style: BBOY BOOOOORN!
damn vero is crazy. I can 'Hat-trick' Battles being a category in the future lol.
@Aminder7
Oh and lol. Better foundation. That's more then obvious.
Vero uses his foundation as support for his sets.
Born uses his foundation as his sets.
If you judge this then yes, Vero won, he actually destroyed the beat but did Born actually try?
1:38 he gives up. 2:41 short style set with his flag thrown in just for cheers.
Its pretty clear he didn't.
@TrapJBC thanks for the song's name
that hat trick was sick...he killed born with that
woooo vero was killin it. big ups to both though. keep it raw. loving it.
man gotta love that hat trick!!
it seems that born isn't giving efforts on his sets from 3rd to last. tsk tsk tsk.
dope battle, i love the hat trick ! weew!
what version of bernard purdie - soul drums is the last song??
veros 2nd set... how did that happen? crazy!!!
I'd like to see a three way battle between Kid David, Vero, and Lilou. That would be something.
@Lzibbah Yeah of course. I'm not saying either one is better than either. I liked both sides. They are both dope in their own ways.
amazing fucking battle. props to both born and vero.
and oh yea remember, born is also, like i said "also" in mighthy zulu kingz, so its all about flavor, footwork, bringing it back to oldschool but with originality, and dancing to the music....for all of you out there who thinks why born didint pull out amazing power like vero did....
Vero's 2nd crazy ass set pretty much killed everything Born could come up with, VERO FUKEN KILLED IT
NICE FLOW from Vero.....!!!!
BORN SMOKED, BORN SMOKED , BORN SMOKED
veros hat segment was dope..
what crew is he from?
dooope battle!
Wow, 1:10 looks like SkillRoy's Hat Trick at Lil Demon's Birthday Party Battle in 2008. Just the backspin part. It's one of his trademarks since the 80's.

but i gotta say props to born for keepin it fresh
Why doesnt pron do any of his power moves ne more? i remember he used to do that move Vero did @ 3:05 did he gain too much weight or something?
The second song was soul drums, what was the first one? "Loser" somthing
A battle that could go either way this time it went for Vero. Well done to both. Still Bboy Power ruled the cypher.
@MrPikaparka1
Not your personal opinion, also your professional opinion. That's good judging. How long were you in the scene?
Gotta give it to vero by a slight margin. Born got smoked in the first 3 sets but came up with some style in the latter rounds... but I think he still came short. Didn't look like his usual self.
Awesome battle regardless of who won, stylehead forever baby
Born did get Smoked ....
I think its a Tie ...
And we all know that born is way better than that ... Big Respect to both bboys ... they're both Dope!
only thing is songs are so popular to use he's always gonna get a good song or one hes heard over and over.
I gotta admit Born got fried, not becuz he wasnt sick, but cuz vero needed a quarantine for da virus he let out wit dis 1, it's obvious he came in planning to have monster style...don't sleep, born will prally c this as a wake up call tho, good job by both bboyz, specially vero who stepped his game up, which is the reason he took it, it wasnt the amazing landslide make it seem to be tho, born was still killin da beat sumthin sick
make a demo reel video n let me know to check it out man ;p
i know that had me going damn :P
nice battle
Who has the name of the second music?
@Krimzj That's a good way to view it lol.
3:15 born kills the beat :D
Songs:
1-Funkhouse Express - Music Makes You Move: /watch?v=EVo_yyBmyxU
2- ???
3-Drums of soul: /watch?v=kc2Iq_W--eY
But I think its a remix or something
@Aminder7

His Footwork? B1 and Footwork Challenge Winner.
dawg vero got hella dope.
iono wtf born was doin.
he was aight i guess wit his musicality.
but vero jus blew it up.
much props.
Wow veto came prepared, he was hitting it hard.
what are the songs called?
When I saw this the first time I thought Born got smoked bad but now that I saw it again after while, it was actually a pretty close battle.
vero killed that shit with the hat trick.
I respect both bboys, but Vero showed me something different. Born thought he could do those simple moves, but Vero came back with venom. Dope battle,but Vero 4 me - No Doubt!
one word ..........SMOKED
i love this crowd
wats d last song that starts at 2:35?
whats the name of the first song?
you cant really say born is overated, ok maybe he doesnt have a lot of flashy moves, but he has madd flavour and rhythm and thats what bboying is all about. He gets a lot of respect because hes a true bboy who dances to the beat and pours his creativty in his art. Thats why he is where he is now.
Vero took this every set was awesome. Born did his thing, but vero surprised me big time.
@creepyfreak94 hey, this is the song at 2:40
Wait are you sure Vero's rockin nikes? They look like grey pumas with the red stripe?
it was tight cuz the three step was hel fast and travled.....like when bruce lee or blonde does airflares in one direction
both were sick...
sometimes u don have to touch all the concepts of dance.. its about question and reply format of a battle. vero started with a question first and born simply didn't have the moves to answer...
Jear nice battle :)
Does someone know the second beat that starts at 1:29 could be a big help thanks and nice again :D
Born was awesome, but I have to say, I think Vero has more variety in his power , which gives him a bit more balance and an edge on Born. Not saying that Born doesn't have dope moves, just that I don't think he took Vero seriously, and by the time he did, it was already too late.Both are dope Bboys, but Vero has this round, and imo he deserves it.
holy shit.....oh ma god vero, he murdered it with that set, he coulda won with that set only lol, but that was a dope battle
yeah he did but that was the first time I've seen it in from born in like two years
first song?
who did the judges give it to?
Vero's style is swag
How come they got put together? I thought they match people's skill with each other, but they both focus on different things:/
@AstrayChronicle yeah man i totally agree with that. born was all flavor in this battle which is why i personally liked him better
The hat trick is fucking dope!!
how long u been breaking for ?
I love born but vero is the future, he's just underrated. Born will always be a legend but give born some credit. Only reason people dont know much about him is because its hard to stand out when people like wing, skim, and hong 10 are in your crew lol
whats the song?
he needs to go back to his 2005-2007 sets..hes just forgettin them all these days lol
born is just too perfect
@PhantomR32 nice one. ;)
Even though theres no winner everyone thinks Vero " won " cause hes doing a lot of crowd pleasers while borns being hella technical and hitting the beats. Which to average eyes may not be as pleasing but you can see vero giving props to it.
hahaha I know I know its just I remember seeing a video of a battle with born vs casper and it had subtitles
so casper says " whats with all the kicks in your footwork? "
and then born saying in english " ITS MY STYLE, " halo* "ITS MY FLAVOR"
I laughed so hard
born's first set was groovy though. obviously he didnt show technique like vero did for this entire battle, but his style was there(maybe not the best for a battle called match one skill).
regarding him joining mzk and making all his sets short and choking on the end for most of them, what you guys all say about that, i agree.
but shoot, that just makes him a true freestyler
and yes, im pretty sure hes still one of the best beat killers
