Old school poppers often talk crap about poppers with "sets." This here is a prime example of why they're wrong. This is vocab, material, variations showcased at its finest.
Wiggles actually said in one of his Top 10 Dancer videos Nelson can do everything from tutting, to waves to groundmoves etc but doesn't need or use them because he just kills so much with grooves. Which is an interesting thought.
MTPop dances like a classic popper. He also uses mini stories in the dance, linking them together into one. Hence such an effect and a full-fledged plot.
i'm just happy to see a generational exchange happen like this on the big stage man. mt pops vocab/storytelling was beautiful here, and nelsons hard hitting/crisp pops was dope to see as well. crazy high level exchange man, the future for popping looking real bright.
Its so many layers and creativity that MT POP has, to where he can make a Seasoned-Vet like Nelson look....SIMPLE! MT-POP really taking Popping to a new level and its dope to see it! 🔥
You know a dancer is next level talented when they can beat somebody in their home territory, especially Europe which is biased af towards European dancers. Congrats to MT
Not sure what Nelson meant by "I do pop". I know MT's pops arent as strong, but he does make up for it with control with the more subtle movements. Maybe he doesnt do enough "traditional" popping within a round? This sounds familiar to the same debate in Hip Hop. Hoping to see Hoan, Paris coming back next year...
I feel like MT is unbeatable if there's more than one round in a battle. Nelson's first round was crazy but MT got too much material, vocabulary...endurance...insane
Truly a high level exchange, but MT POP really took it to the next level in the last two rounds. No Greenteck spice in there though, Greenteck wouldn't have given MT POP props and hug it out.
Greenteck is definitely arrogant but he's not above recognizing when he's beat. Dude has humbly lost to Slim before with a smile on his face -- that being said Slim is an alien
@@israfil-8181Alas, perspective is more than the duration of a YT video lol. In the same Livestream of that Jaygee clip he praised MTs creativity, range and ability as a dancer. On IG when people spoke poorly of MT he defended him, and even clarified there's no bad blood and they're on good terms. Same story with the Twins, Wizzard, Ness, Waydi etc.All settled. All resolved. Don't be one of those people who get so offended that they close themselves off from discovering the truth.
Apologies for my tone, but you were spreading a false narrative, so I hope you'll forgive me correcting you. Facts tend to get lost in the grey ocean that is the Internet.
Nelson often tries is theatrics after/ending his rounds with "not on my level" type comment or body talk to try to twist judges opinion or get into opponents head. Great battle though, should check out the Jikay MT Pop battle too.
In the case of the judges I think if you allow your vote to be cast for any other reason than the dance itself you're unfit for the position and the problem is then on the judge and not the dancer lol
What people tend to forget that Austronesians tribes and their Shamanistic dance traditions have been telling stories way before BC ! Popping alignes with alot of traditional dance from South east asia and North asian tribes. Meaning! he tells stories when he dance! he is the Hero in his own Mythos! using his own Thorus Energy. insane how he actually Executes that what our Ancestors Taught us to do! and thats is too Inspire And harmonize tribes when we dance! PS: nelson time to drop that goddamn ego bro! grant the next generation cause Mt pop clearly reached a Level that most poppers want to be at! motherfcker multitasked the goddamn beat with his Body ;)
Hip-hop also has waving, isolations and boogaloo rolls funnily enough. Breaking which is the first hip-hop dance isn't considered hip-hop by competition standards. You'll find ironies everywhere if you look lmao.
Unfortunately, most poppers dance using some beautiful blanks, some beautiful elements to impress the audience and do not contain stories, history, illustrations, parodies of the opponent. Les Twins have gone down this path, unfortunately.
MT pop is such a master of technique and flows and how he understands how the music makes him dance is incredible he is such a talent I need the name of the second d song badly it is so fire
Nelson moves around more when he's thinking of his next move. MT POP got the songs on lock and pop. Nelson 1st round good . Mtpop last 2 were phenomenal.
I agree, I think getting a win on get down alone is not enough, especially against MT Pop. He or she needs a combination of get down or throwdown. I think Greenteck can beat MT Pop if he's in that Pop In Progress Group B and Cypher finals mode. With groove, Pops, Tuts, concepts, floor game, ground work, and footwork.
The music is just plain terrible. As dope as MT Pop is, Nelson is just more organic in my opinion. Which leads back to the music. How do you funk to 16Bit video game soundtracks?
I mean Nelson is definitely more grass roots funk style, but nothing MT pop did looks forced. It's all very smooth, his transitions are crazy and his musicality is damn near the best in the game. Hard to stop this man
@@10YESYES Again, MT Pop is dope. One of the best. Something about his style just doesn’t really appeal to me. I just feel like the insane amount of time he spends in front of a mirror shows in his dance. Obviously nothing wrong with that..Who am I? Nobody. Just an opinion…
@@JO-cj2dv Respectfully disagree, I don't see that at all with MT. I just see someone who has put in not 10k hours but 100k hours, there's no one doing it like him so I'm yet to get tired of his approach. These days I feel like the only other popper I can only say that about is Slim. But this is the top of the top, if MT is maxxed out in most stats, I'd say Nelson best him in "groove" & how heavy the pop is but MT is still more than solid in those & while Nelson brought his A-game in round 1, he wasn't able to keep up with MT in the other two. My cents!
MTPOP is good but he lacks groove and chest Pop sometimes. That is why Nelson said "I do PoP". mt got nice combo but without this capital fondamental élément I am sorry He just doin great on popping music without doing PoP.
Yo how is nobody in these comments talking about how WACK THE DJ WAS??!! like what the fuck type of lame weird ass battle music is that?! 😡 Shit that’s what I miss old school poppin. Because the music they use to pop battle to was 🔥
'I do pop.' I believe he's simply reminding you that you are a popper and that you shouldn't forget to do pop, even when you create something new. As a legend seeing the development of popping, he's happy with the progress but wants to remind all poppers about their roots.
Nah, Nelson knew he got out-battled from first round so of course he would throw shade. Typical French dancer behaviour. Problem is, that kind of comment/behaviour worked against him when it went to crowd vote (which was already stacked against him because let's face it, he won last year so they want to see someone else take it this year). He only took the mic at the end to backpedal on his previous comment and not look like such a sore loser (and of course, reiterate that he's won Popping Forever three times). What a joker.
@@roastofsparta This isnt' a new Nelson opinion he made out today. This is one of the reasons he* often seemingly "hate vote" against MT Pop. There are other dancers that had issue with MT Pop "sets", like Greenteck, and Greenteck and Nelson are like brothers.
@@roastofspartaLets not abandon civility now lol. Only Nelson can say how he really felt and it's not our place as ignorant spectators to say otherwise.
@@roastofspartaWe're all ignorant. If you don't know what it means or believe it to be negative. I recommend you start reading books instead of YT comments.
Crazy to see that MT making Nelson look like a normal dancer 🤣
Old school poppers often talk crap about poppers with "sets." This here is a prime example of why they're wrong. This is vocab, material, variations showcased at its finest.
i wrote it once already, every time i see MT Pop I feel like we need that straitjacket and mask from Silence of the Lambs, man's a monster
All I’m saying is I wouldn’t be surprised to see Nelson come back next year with tutting combos
Wiggles actually said in one of his Top 10 Dancer videos Nelson can do everything from tutting, to waves to groundmoves etc but doesn't need or use them because he just kills so much with grooves. Which is an interesting thought.
@@Arareemote he should look into integrating them back into his freestyle
MTPop dances like a classic popper. He also uses mini stories in the dance, linking them together into one. Hence such an effect and a full-fledged plot.
The crowd was doing god's work at the end. Took 'em long enough.
i'm just happy to see a generational exchange happen like this on the big stage man. mt pops vocab/storytelling was beautiful here, and nelsons hard hitting/crisp pops was dope to see as well. crazy high level exchange man, the future for popping looking real bright.
"He is the future though." thanks for admitting that Nelson, we already knew 😂
Man, I hope Mt pop bring new waves of poppers, with creativities, and can do all styles like him.
Its so many layers and creativity that MT POP has, to where he can make a Seasoned-Vet like Nelson look....SIMPLE! MT-POP really taking Popping to a new level and its dope to see it! 🔥
Love the exchange between these 2. Legendary. Very distinct in their own lanes. Prime Example.
You know a dancer is next level talented when they can beat somebody in their home territory, especially Europe which is biased af towards European dancers. Congrats to MT
Go watch kury vs mt pop
Pretty good battle, congratulations to MT Pop and shout out to both him and Nelson for giving a high level battle
Love your enthusiasm/excitement in these reaction videos. Keep that energy up ❤
I dont regret spending my 8 pounds to watch that live, that shit was worth it
GOD BLESS THE PALACE 🙏🏽📈Ⓜ️🅿️
The Detail in Mt's first round was Oh my🔥🤯
MT and Nelson got me hyped too 🤦🏽♂️🔥🔥🔥

True, I would say song selection slightly favored MT in the 2nd and 3rd, but at the same time MT went first, so its still impressive against Nelson
@@skiviper Fair point!

WE HERE PALACE🙏🏽
How many videos did u bless us with this week 😤
The fact that Popping has waving is proof enough that there's more to the genre than just "pop" moments
Hip-hop also has waving, isolations and boogaloo rolls funnily enough.
Breaking which is the first hip-hop dance isn't considered hip-hop by competition standards.

MT POP💯💯💯 he been on his game on something monstrous this year!!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽 2-1 maybe, MT POP Wins!
MT pop is such a master of technique and flows and how he understands how the music makes him dance is incredible he is such a talent I need the name of the second d song badly it is so fire
Futuri stick - Madd3e
MT POP vs KEVIN PARADOX would be the CRAZIEST battle in history for sure
I like MT. His motions are more controlled. Nelson just seems like he goes in without a plan.
Nelson moves around more when he's thinking of his next move. MT POP got the songs on lock and pop. Nelson 1st round good . Mtpop last 2 were phenomenal.
I love how the host was like "25 rounds, im kidding 3 rounds" because 25 rounds is what we want.
This gonna be a goodiiieee
Need a Slim vs MT pop. Lets get itttt
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 he said whoa when nelson did them tuts!!!
Ⓜ️🅿️📈
yesssiiirrrr
The thing with the internet voting is that people will vote for who they like versus who they won. Tho obviously mt won
Mt aint just “battling”, hes putting on a show instead of putting people to sleep
for me
i prefer the yuzuru one is worth of reacting ....
yuzuru out here dancing made grown man crying ....
No black MP HOODIES AVAILABLE ‼️
Does anyone know the name of the second song it is so danm fire 🔥

i do pop 😂
The music in the finals sucked. Much better songs to pop to in some of the previous battles
Gotta say. I HATE the music played in this battle. Matter of fact, i think the DJ for the popping event was terrible for a lot of the battles.
Whats the first song name
MT POP IS THE BEST!👌
Please watch hoan vs popping c in 2024 the real time battle fucking crazyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
He did on stream
The music is just plain terrible. As dope as MT Pop is, Nelson is just more organic in my opinion. Which leads back to the music. How do you funk to 16Bit video game soundtracks?
