I am a JSU alumna , but I cannot go without saying that I am very, very , extremely disappointed in Southern. They have the arrangements but didn’t execute. I am very proud of the BOOM cause they playing with their chest‼️
Man, This Made Me Laugh😂😂😂 Im Talkin Bout....when i marched inbthe Boom 95-98 We Never had warm ups like this....SHEEEEESH!!! I knew from the 8 minutes and 27 seconds worth of Beautiful Warm Ups That It Was Over...Then to hear a March like That.....Bruh.....The Battle Was FIYA💪🏾💯
I hate to say it but I literally fast forward through SU parts just to see what JSU was gone play next and I’m a huge fan SU through and through but this was a massacre on sight.
Kevan Johnson’s🖊️ pen game is a gift bro! He penned Keisha Cole, Sunglasses, Water… just amazing! Jackson legit sound outstanding , I agree you. Crazy thing is, JSU band is mostly comprised of crab freshmen 🫣. They are going to get even better.
Kevan Johnson...straight up Alpha Beta.....G.O.M.A.B. Yo hebwas sooo in depth in class as well. We were music majors together and i Pledged him for Phi Beta Sigma
2 weeks later and I’m back Watching this again , to make sure I wasn’t trippen the first time I watched this 😂😂😂. Like they really got bussed !!!!! I never seen them get swept like this ! “They den put the equalizer back up here, lord Jesus”😂
I'm a Bama State Fan, I can't lie people gotta appreciate the musicianship of JSU this season. They haven't taking a loss yet. When you are a fan of music you gotta commend them for that. They Clearly showed they are head and shoulders above everybody this season. I love my Hornets, but I gotta tip my hat to JSU. Every band gave They best against them, and JSU took every battle. Salute yall 👏🏾 🙌🏾 💯
They took at loss at the orange bowl classics at the hands of the Marching100… we waxed their asses up both in the battle of the bands and even worse the day of the game
KB, I purposely avoided watching this battle on other channels and waited for your reaction video. Great job as always brother!!! As an Alcorn SOD alumni I can’t express just how blown away and PROUD I am of J-State. They have absolutely changed the game, unseated SU from their lofty perch and represented Mississippi well! I will 100% make a trip to see them live next marching season!
I don’t think I have ever seen SU be made irrelevant in a stand battle (at their own house at that) by another band. That was a Jackson State Concert those folks paid to see.
Kevan Johnson name don’t get shouted out enough. Travis and Little ain’t the only giants over there. Kevan Johnson wrote “Sunglasses” and “Love” He’s also the Mastermind behind “Circle of Life”
Kevan Johnson is a freaking genius. I get chills listening to these arrangements. I even remember the "Circle of Life" arrangement. I have listened to that arrangement over and over about 50 times. This guys pen game is superb🔥🔥🔥🔥
SU loves to play hype songs as the band is leaving so they can delude themselves into thinking they blew them out of their stadium. They do it every time, without fail.
I get chills listening to those arrangements from JSU. They're on a different level this year. No one has been able to touch them this year. The SBOTS by far is the best band in all of HBCU's right now. When it comes to sound, musicality, arrangements and execution, the SBOTS is unmatched. I expected more from Southern since they requested this battle and did worse this time than the 1st.
@@mefool8575Damn near started off in ‘15 with a couple songs like No Role Modelz and Pipe It Up type arrangements, then got better in ‘16 when we played Kiss From a Rose, Gangsta, Father Stretch, etc. and from then on, them boys been on FIRE recreating this monster into Little’s vision.
SU folks denied alot of L's over the years, but they couldn't run from this one. Then the battle was nowhere near close, just a flat out ass whooping. 😂
lmao the commentary so spot on. "the rap melody got mid" "play something we know Doc....we tryna figure out what it is!" 🤣 "i like what you did KC BUT, Jackson State playing some music on y'all"😂 "Doctor Little got yah number" "where the creativity at!?" 🤣 the laugh @35:18 😂😂😂 40:41 lmfao 😂🤣🤣😂 *deep sigh* " i dont know what to say yall!" 49:35
This year jsu reminds me of traditional 90s JSU when musicality was priority. Jsu never go away from this sytle of playing again. This is your sweet spot/pocket. U have power, blend, musicality, dynamic, tone, and articulstion. This allows you to be creative.
and its obvious, they so undisciplined right now it’s crazy… letting Brian Simmons and Nathan Haymer go was the worst thing that could ever happened to SU
I appreciate your honesty and your musical ear. I'm a SU fan for life, but I am not blind/deaf. My band will forever be the best in my heart, but we took an L on this one. Big ups to JSU. Y'all got it fair and square.
Bruh, that was the most Honest Southern Response that i have read! Thank You Man....Because of You, I can ignore All the Ignorance from the other su fans. You Got My Respect.....JSU Crab of 95 W.T. Luv Da Boom 💥
SU fan here, JSU upgraded like crazy this year, they fixed their flaws and they got better. They almost sound like the odd Southern, Congrat to the Boom
Why yall Jukes on here acting like this one year mean sumin. We been whipping our ass wit JStank for decades. Sun shines on every dog ass. See yall in Mumford.
Highlight moments for me: 1. Intro- Musiq Soulchild “Love” transition to Keisha Cole “Love” 🤌🏽 2. Intro-Bobby Valentino “Slow Down” transition to Skip Marley/H.E.R “Slow Down” 🔥 3. “Wishing on a Star”- Rose Royce then ended it with the tag “When you wish upon a star” from Disney by Cliff Edwards ✨ 4. “Water”🌊 by Tyla was arranged soooo good! 5. Master Class ✍🏽 and great band musicians.
JSU taking their foot off the pedal towards the end was mercy, or seen another way, like sending in the second stringers towards the end of a game cause it’s already a blowout. This was a DOMINATION of Southern that is not only rare but a bonafide triumph of 5th Q battles. Hats off to JSU.
KB, all the writers at JSU are great but Kevan Johnson is the one! His name doesn’t get mentioned enough but he is THEE writer over there. I marched with him. He was writing for us when we marched together. Pen game is 👌🏾
That Musik 'Love' intro into Keyshia Cole 'Love'... chef's kiss! but KB is a whole fool for these ad libs, meme's and gif's he's inserting...the cry at the intro to 'Weak' had me in here cackling! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@LavonRandolph-gt9wfthat’s DEFINITELY not true…when i marched for JSU we could barely hear that two piece human jukebox from across the field and they still sounded better than this band today
@@Nana._7 ok so let’s get this straight you can reply to comments but I’m not calm if I do ??girl BYE I have a big Kool aid smile on my face don’t worry about me

It was no where near surprising to hear how good the BOOM sounded. It was however surprising to see JUKE go out like that. P.S. SU got to stop tryna go for points in garbage time. Those last couple songs don't hit the same knowing that you've been taking L's back to back to back to back....
Im a JSU hater 8 out of 7 days! But, on today! WoW!!!!! Truly I say to you! You have OUTCLASSED the opposition on this exchange of musical warfare! SALUTE today!...✊🏾
It simply comes down to song selection...I wonder if anyone else notice,the arrangements of Jackson are similar now to how Southern performs.I'll always be Jukebox for life.I was hoping for a different battle,but hats off to the sonic boom.
100% facts. Alumni has been warning them since the departure of Haymer and B, but the egos of the new staff has allowed them to fall off a cliff. What’s worst is TXSU as well as JSU will only continue to improve. So unless major changes/firing/hidings are done, it’s gonna get ugly for the “S”
As long as SU has a Taylor, Todd and Kenneth led staff, they’ll continue to decline. Simply put, JSU is simply playing, writing and directing at a higher level (right now). All the great SU directors of the past (From Doc to B) would’ve took this same SU band and brought out the beast in them. Those kids deserve better, and Taylor knows it man.
Here's my opinion, first of all, I applaud both bands for making it throughout the season. Two, I like both bands but I am mainly an SU fan. SU band however hasn't been "Southering" the way it should be. I love this band to death. SU always has had a good band, so even if this year wasn't their most dominant, that doesn't make them a horrible band. It's just the song selection choices and execution that are throwing them off. I feel like most of the SU Band has a lot of freshmen. The trumpets haven't been the same since 2014. But SU still has a good future and always will be a good band. Jackson State, they have been toying with a lot of bands this year. Seasons come and go and so do bands change. JSU got their lick back and are kings of the SWAC for the 23-24 season. It just wasn't Southern's year, and that's okay. Some bands need humbling experience. Conclusion: JSU won this battle and was clean. SU was pushing watts as always, but skating of the trumpets, lack of creativity, and poor song selection have been their downfall. Now I expect SU to be better for the Bayou Classic. Great job to both bands for the season and at the end of the day, it's all love for the culture. Can't wait for next year for both programs. Side note: I wanna attend SU so badly because I was introduced to it by a band alumni of my high school band who is now there and he will be graduating soon. I pray to God SU will get it together during my senior year of high school because I don't wanna waste taking a plane ride from Maryland to Louisiana only to just get blown out by JSU. Side Note 2: DR. TAYLOR PLEASE GET BETTER WITH THESE SONG SELECTIONS! IDK WHAT HAPPENED FROM LAST YEAR BUT BRING SOME OF THAT STUFF FROM LAST YEAR BACK BECAUSE SOME OF THIS YEAR'S MUSIC AIN'T HITTING! I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE BAND, I MEAN THE MUSIC IN GENERAL ON RADIO AND OTHER PLATFORMS. MOST OF IT SEEMS IDENTICAL AND LACKLUSTER COMPARED TO LAST YEAR. Side Note 3(Final): JSU is the king of the SWAC, but it's still not over for SU. They can come back next year because to be true kings, you can't just dominate one year and then go flat for the next few years. You have to have a reign of supremacy on the SWAC and be consistent about it. JSU can feel good about this year but when the new year hits, everything else starts over. You can't be complacent. That goes for Southern, heck every HBCU band. Even with some HBCU band conferences I don't typically listen to, you gotta improve everytime. , something that SU has been doing for decades since the legendary Dr. Issac Greggs(R.I.P. 🕊). So in a general sense, maybe this year was the type of year SU needed. I know from experience with my high school band. We can have off days but then come back stronger. That's the whole point of life. So, with that being said, SU is not the worst band in the world. They have hiccups like everyone else does. I believe they will improve because it's in their history. All the directors from Greggs to Taylor are all SU grads. They have been under the system. They will get it together.
Just keep in mind, as Southern tries to regroup and get right, JSU also will keep getting better, stronger and bigger. They will not be satisfied, it's a movement and expectation to stay on the mountain top
Excellent observation young man. If you decide to go to Southern you’ll be joining an organization of consistent excellence that stretches back over 50+ years that no program (music or sports) in any conference can compare to. Win, lose, or draw there’s a reason why we’re the most popular band in the nation. One of your greatest life achievements will be earning that S on your chest and knowing that every bandsman you meet either loves you or hates you, but they definitely respect you. The program is in great shape. Just needs some tightening up in some areas. Just know, what some consider at our “worst” is still competing with their “best”

Southern HAD to play “Weak”. They knew they lost the crowd after JSU played that Love melody
It didn't work at all. SMH. This was my first time seeing them play caught up in a long time in a battle.
You would’ve thought jsu had 40 tubas instead of Southern
THEE Jackson State University! You already know!
Bro the noise you just made after you said "skate fest" 😂😂😂 referring to southern trumpets omfg😅😅😅
JSU bands fresh kills it pin games fresh band
As long as SU has a Taylor, Todd and Kenneth led staff, they’ll continue to decline. Simply put, JSU is simply playing, writing and directing at a higher level (right now). All the great SU directors of the past (From Doc to B) would’ve took this same SU band and brought out the beast in them. Those kids deserve better, and Taylor knows it man.
💯
Piccolos at the end of LOVE
Let's goooo boom run that ish
Band Of The Year....SONIC BOOM OF THE SOUTH 🥳🥳💙🤍💙
Jackson State is the bomb! I attended Savannah State University, but I love Jackson State!
Spot on commentary!!! JSU got it this year!!!
Glad you felt the same way I did. It surprised me as well KB
Great job JSU 🥰
"the EQUALIZER?" really,, dying laughing over here..
Here's my opinion, first of all, I applaud both bands for making it throughout the season. Two, I like both bands but I am mainly an SU fan. SU band however hasn't been "Southering" the way it should be. I love this band to death. SU always has had a good band, so even if this year wasn't their most dominant, that doesn't make them a horrible band. It's just the song selection choices and execution that are throwing them off. I feel like most of the SU Band has a lot of freshmen. The trumpets haven't been the same since 2014. But SU still has a good future and always will be a good band.
Jackson State, they have been toying with a lot of bands this year. Seasons come and go and so do bands change. JSU got their lick back and are kings of the SWAC for the 23-24 season. It just wasn't Southern's year, and that's okay. Some bands need humbling experience.
Conclusion: JSU won this battle and was clean. SU was pushing watts as always, but skating of the trumpets, lack of creativity, and poor song selection have been their downfall. Now I expect SU to be better for the Bayou Classic. Great job to both bands for the season and at the end of the day, it's all love for the culture. Can't wait for next year for both programs.
Side note: I wanna attend SU so badly because I was introduced to it by a band alumni of my high school band who is now there and he will be graduating soon. I pray to God SU will get it together during my senior year of high school because I don't wanna waste taking a plane ride from Maryland to Louisiana only to just get blown out by JSU.
Side Note 2: DR. TAYLOR PLEASE GET BETTER WITH THESE SONG SELECTIONS! IDK WHAT HAPPENED FROM LAST YEAR BUT BRING SOME OF THAT STUFF FROM LAST YEAR BACK BECAUSE SOME OF THIS YEAR'S MUSIC AIN'T HITTING! I AM NOT TALKING ABOUT THE BAND, I MEAN THE MUSIC IN GENERAL ON RADIO AND OTHER PLATFORMS. MOST OF IT SEEMS IDENTICAL AND LACKLUSTER COMPARED TO LAST YEAR.
Side Note 3(Final): JSU is the king of the SWAC, but it's still not over for SU. They can come back next year because to be true kings, you can't just dominate one year and then go flat for the next few years. You have to have a reign of supremacy on the SWAC and be consistent about it. JSU can feel good about this year but when the new year hits, everything else starts over. You can't be complacent. That goes for Southern, heck every HBCU band. Even with some HBCU band conferences I don't typically listen to, you gotta improve everytime. , something that SU has been doing for decades since the legendary Dr. Issac Greggs(R.I.P. 🕊). So in a general sense, maybe this year was the type of year SU needed. I know from experience with my high school band. We can have off days but then come back stronger. That's the whole point of life. So, with that being said, SU is not the worst band in the world. They have hiccups like everyone else does. I believe they will improve because it's in their history. All the directors from Greggs to Taylor are all SU grads. They have been under the system. They will get it together.
This message needs a PSA this was all facts
@@honestsagittarius4566 Thank you so much. I appreciate the reply.
Oh my god, I think you just made me feel better 🥹
Just keep in mind, as Southern tries to regroup and get right, JSU also will keep getting better, stronger and bigger. They will not be satisfied, it's a movement and expectation to stay on the mountain top
Excellent observation young man. If you decide to go to Southern you’ll be joining an organization of consistent excellence that stretches back over 50+ years that no program (music or sports) in any conference can compare to. Win, lose, or draw there’s a reason why we’re the most popular band in the nation. One of your greatest life achievements will be earning that S on your chest and knowing that every bandsman you meet either loves you or hates you, but they definitely respect you. The program is in great shape. Just needs some tightening up in some areas. Just know, what some consider at our “worst” is still competing with their “best”
All I have to say is DAMN… From a SU grad
They are doing a Southern on Southern. You called it.
Someone commented Haymer passed away when SU played Weak💀😂😂😂
Kevan Johnson! I believe he also penned So beautiful. He is A R&B genius.
