Guchon is nice, but Salah got him in this one. People hatin on Salah cause he plays the crowd. I'm from the 80's and poplocked for a few years, (no where near as good i might add) and it got started on the streets of NY tryin to make some money entertaining the crowd. Entertainment is as important as skills.
I don't care who won, or what anybody says; I fucking LUV Salah. He has incredible body control & fluidity. Don't get it twisted; Guchon can dance his ass off, but Salah's showmanship combined with his skills make him unforgettable...
Salah has killed Guchon since this battle. I think Salah gained some weight in this battle and wasn't as nimble as he usually is. Check out the 2007 battles. Salah destroys Guchon on 2 seperate occasions.
the more i watch it, the more i get why Guchon won this battle. Salah is my favorite poper along with Bionic, but he did seem tired to me and wasn't up to his usual level at this point. Guchon absorbed the music and rocked it better. Much props to both and it's awesome how Salah still commands crowd control!
correction. He's Morocan, but grew up in France, therefore he speaks French. But he is Moroccan. Actually there are a lot of Moroccans that live in France. They all go live there for some reason. But yeah, he's Moroccan.
I was very impressed by gucchon this battle, not that he isn't usually great, but he hit every single beat. Salah is as good as usual. Overall an excellent battle, this is getting favorited.
i have to agree, both of those guys were great, but what always sets salah apart from everyone else is his originality and his creativity! salah does things you dont see anywhere else... awesome song to dance to aswell!
Gucchon is tight, its easy to "get" what he's trying to do... but his movements are small and have zero flamboyance, he also does the same stuff most other poppers do... better than most, but not very original...every move Salah does is his own, and they are all huge... plus this is a battle, and Salah hits Gucchon with 3 assaults in a row, first draws the slap to his side, then the hand slap, then the hug, crowd goes nuts. Overall I think Salah is the clear winner.
For some reason, people think the bigger movements are the better ones. Both of them are dope, but to anyone saying Guchon does what most poppers do, god damn I wanna live where you do cause everyone must be sick. Yeah it's a battle, but as in a freestyle rhyming battle, you can have an emcee with pure punchlines (salah) or pure flow (guchon), both are tight but I'm going with Guchon on this one since he pretty much digested the music. Sensei
yes. I believe in my reply to you, I said he lives in France. by that, I mean he's a citizen. So yeah, he lives there, but he is born in Morocco. His MySpace says so as well.
em214rr, you are wrong, this is definitely the same salah, you even tell just from his face. As for his style, he tries knew things with each battle, and here was going less with the tricks and more with the strut.
salah is a good popper yes, but relies on crowd pleasing to take the focus off his imperfections on his poppin skills, Gucchon is one of the worlds best poppers, always his, always on beat, and uses his skills all the way threw, anyone in the poppin world that understands wat they are watchin would notice that difference . . . salah should battle nam hyun joon, they are both entertainers, crowd pleasers, more street performers
I disagree. Assaults are important when it comes to battling. When it is 2 people going at each other it is either a show of moves or a battle. In a battle it is clever to think up assaults and even more clever to do them to the beat. It shows control, creativity etc etc. You dont have to 'insult' anyone during a battle but it is not 'nothin'. A lot of dancers are still working on their own style to even think about assaults and salah does it so naturally, gotta respect it. Peace
just to let everyone know. Guchon won and he was in the finals against Popula. and Salah is not french. i dont really know what he is but for sure hes not french. he grew up in france. thats all i know.
i think that we forget that this is a extra round does this even count toward the final our are they just going at it for fun so who gives a crap who won there both great and have respectable styles and if any one wants to see there first round go to my videos and check it out i also have the final popula vs guchon peace.
thats unlucky how gucchon fell for the handshake trick, its even funnier that he fell for it again a year later lol check out: Gucchon vs Salah 06 what a dirty trick but its funny
not in the real poppin world, the better you are at funk the more props you get, yea, entertaining the crowd is nice and all, but thats only used for to make money, wen it comes to battles, its who has the more skill, the better guy at hittin the beats, controllin you speed and moves, etc.
no, hes a better performer . . . gucchon hits harder, never gets off beat, and has way more skill, salah just knows how to please the audience wit the tricks he knows and the skill he does have, overall, gucchon and him are both great dancers, neither is the better at overall dancing, just better at wat they do
@pabloaimar96 Maybe i just can't get into his style. Its ok to be funny and all as long as it doesn't overshadow your popping performance. Personally don't like Salah's tricks (sunglasses, magic staff r sum and whatnot) and "powermoves" that fit more into breaking i think than popping. Just my opinion.
dude what does it matter what salah is either you like him are you dont and if it means that much to you just go look on my space that will clear it all up
Being able to diss someone doesn't make you a better dancer.. This is DANCIN' not a battle between pantomimes. The crowd went nuts cuz Salah played with the music. Not because of these assualts ur think are raw. But honestly.. i've never seen Salah get down like that. So i'm not sure who I felt won. But those 'assaults' ur talkin bout... that's nothin.
salah is the best. hands down no one in da world is better then him . however he needs to learn to stop doing somuch tricks and dance. this battle he won .gucchon was good but BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!but good hits. salah was on beat ,entertaining. i made da audience feel wat he was doing. i am human and this my opinion
Thanks for postin this vid up! Definitely an awesome battle!
I really love they two.
Both dance great and treat other with respect.
i LOVE it when these two battle... two different forms of funky movement, head to head...
Guchon is nice, but Salah got him in this one. People hatin on Salah cause he plays the crowd.

Lol sick battle. It's kinda funny how Gucchon falls for that handshake trick again in the Funkin Stylez dance competition.
I don't care who won, or what anybody says; I fucking LUV Salah. He has incredible body control & fluidity. Don't get it twisted; Guchon can dance his ass off, but Salah's showmanship combined with his skills make him unforgettable...
Salah has killed Guchon since this battle. I think Salah gained some weight in this battle and wasn't as nimble as he usually is. Check out the 2007 battles. Salah destroys Guchon on 2 seperate occasions.
Gucchon tore it up last year. can't wait to see him this year at BoTB 06' in Oct.
if only there was a popper with salahs tricks and the popping skills of guchon. BAM you got the greatest popper ever
the more i watch it, the more i get why Guchon won this battle. Salah is my favorite poper along with Bionic, but he did seem tired to me and wasn't up to his usual level at this point. Guchon absorbed the music and rocked it better. Much props to both and it's awesome how Salah still commands crowd control!
Get It Up by Morris Day & The Time
ight thanks alot man by da way i am turkish thanks alot again
good song for two dancer so funkyy!!
I don't see how anyone could say tha gucchon won that battle... salah is clearly on a different level
correction. He's Morocan, but grew up in France, therefore he speaks French. But he is Moroccan. Actually there are a lot of Moroccans that live in France. They all go live there for some reason. But yeah, he's Moroccan.
Thanx!
I was very impressed by gucchon this battle, not that he isn't usually great, but he hit every single beat. Salah is as good as usual. Overall an excellent battle, this is getting favorited.
both are them are fuckin dope...salah was playing with that beat..and guchon homie was killing the beat and smooth.
i have to agree, both of those guys were great, but what always sets salah apart from everyone else is his originality and his creativity! salah does things you dont see anywhere else... awesome song to dance to aswell!
salah tight as always props to guchon to and if anyone know the name of that song please post it

Morris Day & The Time - Get it Up
Wow that's an old comment you responded to. I knew he was born in Morocco but isnt he a French citizen?
Gucchon is tight, its easy to "get" what he's trying to do... but his movements are small and have zero flamboyance, he also does the same stuff most other poppers do... better than most, but not very original...every move Salah does is his own, and they are all huge... plus this is a battle, and Salah hits Gucchon with 3 assaults in a row, first draws the slap to his side, then the hand slap, then the hug, crowd goes nuts. Overall I think Salah is the clear winner.

For some reason, people think the bigger movements are the better ones.

yes. I believe in my reply to you, I said he lives in France. by that, I mean he's a citizen. So yeah, he lives there, but he is born in Morocco. His MySpace says so as well.
Some can correct me if im wrong but salah is French. He was born in Morocco though.
wats de song
probably. im not 100% sure myself. i just read that he wasnt french. so i stuck with it.
man.. i wanna pop like gucchon amazing!
@AnonymousPopper oh no. Is he out of the game?
Gucchon won that one. Definitely was on point.
is he french?
thankss
em214rr, you are wrong, this is definitely the same salah, you even tell just from his face. As for his style, he tries knew things with each battle, and here was going less with the tricks and more with the strut.
LMAO Salah's p3rformance always cracks me up haha
Salah was killing it!
salah is a good popper yes, but relies on crowd pleasing to take the focus off his imperfections on his poppin skills, Gucchon is one of the worlds best poppers, always his, always on beat, and uses his skills all the way threw, anyone in the poppin world that understands wat they are watchin would notice that difference . . . salah should battle nam hyun joon, they are both entertainers, crowd pleasers, more street performers

Omg... that so @#!$@ cool! salah rocks!
Gucchon was entirely on beat. I bet if you saw this round in person you would've agreed he won it. Salah seemed to run out of gas to me.
Salah lost this one because he couldn't think of a clever way to mock Gucchon. Gucchon is so much more technical.
salah is crazy as shit
his moved base on tricks
but guchon is move of music dancer he feels it
yeah poppin hood is fuckin dope.
just to let everyone know. Guchon won and he was in the finals against Popula. and Salah is not french. i dont really know what he is but for sure hes not french. he grew up in france. thats all i know.
i think feelin the music is better than tricks
thats just me!
gucchon murdered salah so badly in this battle hope he recoveres soon
i think that we forget that this is a extra round does this even count toward the final our are they just going at it for fun so who gives a crap who won there both great and have respectable styles and if any one wants to see there first round go to my videos and check it out i also have the final popula vs guchon peace.
u r soooo damn right.
Oh i agree Guchon won, but overall Salah is a better dancer.
If he was born in Morroco, that would make him Morrocan?
@pabloaimar96
Pardon my english, i was going to say hit, not pop :)
沙拉 應該為人很幽默...
他有好多幽默的招式...
thats unlucky how gucchon fell for the handshake trick, its even funnier that he fell for it again a year later lol check out: Gucchon vs Salah 06
what a dirty trick but its funny
get it up
not in the real poppin world, the better you are at funk the more props you get, yea, entertaining the crowd is nice and all, but thats only used for to make money, wen it comes to battles, its who has the more skill, the better guy at hittin the beats, controllin you speed and moves, etc.
COMPLETE DOPESAUCE
salah is french.. originally algerian or moroccan...
no, hes a better performer . . . gucchon hits harder, never gets off beat, and has way more skill, salah just knows how to please the audience wit the tricks he knows and the skill he does have, overall, gucchon and him are both great dancers, neither is the better at overall dancing, just better at wat they do
Is it just me or did salah just forget to pop ?
zoeliac its just you
@pabloaimar96
Maybe i just can't get into his style. Its ok to be funny and all as long as it doesn't overshadow your popping performance. Personally don't like Salah's tricks (sunglasses, magic staff r sum and whatnot) and "powermoves" that fit more into breaking i think than popping.
Just my opinion.
salah has showmanship
gucchon killed salah so badly hope he recovers soon :D
dude what does it matter what salah is either you like him are you dont and if it means that much to you just go look on my space that will clear it all up
I personally don't like Salah's style, cause it seems to me he's doing sometimes too many tricks. But that's just my opinion.
get up-morris time and day
@ 0:44 omg ILL
Being able to diss someone doesn't make you a better dancer.. This is DANCIN' not a battle between pantomimes. The crowd went nuts cuz Salah played with the music.
