No mention of Grandmaster Flash's Vox Percussion King "beatbox"? It's the drum machine that really became known as the "beatbox" in the '70s, the 808 didn't even exist yet. Percussion King also sounded the most like early human beatboxing.

I don't know if you're interested in facilitating collaborations between proponents of different musical traditions, but Indian classical percussionists have their own beatboxing traditions called konnakol and bol, for vocalising the extremely complex rhythms that they use. It would be really cool to see you bring together those beatboxers and hip-hop beatboxers, to see what they can learn from each other and create together.

Yo im a lil late but im so psyched to see this as a beatboxer myself. I agree that the greatest thing about beatboxing is that your able to express yourself musically anywhere you are. I also agree with bros that while beatboxing has expanded beyond making Hip Hop beats with your mouth it is still an element of Hip Hop Culture. Keep up the good work yall your next video should be about scratching and turntablism

It's a little weird that you guys changed the thumbnail to someone who isn't beatboxing. What? Did the thumbnail of the asian American beatboxer not do well? Oh how can I tell? The person is holding the mic wrong for beatbox. I get changing the thumbnail periodically but why take Gene out of the thumbnail when hes one of the beatboxers you guys interviewed for a stock photo?
Edit: it looks like they fixed it and put Napom and Kenny on the cover. Not sure if it’s bc of this comment or social guys really upping his game. Either way, appreciated 👍

There should be beatbox + rap battle team ups with 1 rapper and 1 beat boxer one one side and then another rapper and beatboxer on the other

Great video! This was a lot of fun to learn about – I admit my own familiarity here is WAY different, mostly from all the Pentatonix tracks I've listened to… But I love the improvisational nature of beatboxing, and I really think it puts a huge light on just how versatile and wonderful our own bodies are as instruments. Even in difficult situations we can find an outlet for creativity, and a path to self expression and joy. And there's SO MUCH power in the snatching of something awesome despite everything being stacked against you.

4:35 YEAH !!!! I can do that too. Cool !!!!
infact… I probably should record my own samples since these type of sounds are pretty much unique and individual from person to person and cannot be reproduced by any instrument … or mouth!

BRO. So stoked to see Carnage the Executioner in one of your videos right after the P.O.S./Doomtree mention in the last video. It's like you've been browsing my music library lately for video ideas. I absolutely love this channel and I'm so glad to see you bringing attention to incredible artists like Carnage (who is also a god-tier rapper).

this was so great, learned a lot and appreciated seeing women beatboxers highlighted but it would have been even better to hear examples of them. the game of horse was super cool and i would absolutely watch a cartoon based on a beatboxing boy band
