Salah got badly exposed as a preening clown by a true MASTER of the game. Dementia is easily the best locker\popper I have ever seen - totally classical style - the living definition of what locking\popping is all about.
i aint a poppin fan, but salah always surprises me...he can always put his popping into the song, which is awesome cus its all about the musique...but the other guy did really good also...so watever...
Both dancers brought their style and it was raw. Never though of using a shoe like that Salah is just so versatile wow. Salah wins overral-Dementia wins as far as sweet tuts -2Much
Yo but for real...I dont know why people think you have to dance a certain way in this dance. Why does how Salah dance make such a big impact with people and they call it tricks. He has musicality, flow and originality. Besides why would you want to look like everyone else or do something that's already been done...
@fanaticfire86 yeah, people always hate on salah cause he can do it all, like you said... he entertains, does eye candy, AND he POPS... hate it or love it... he can compete with any dancer... period
Selah's alright, it is impressive to mix that level of anatomic contortion with Bu steps, but I'm a Dementia fan and this only makes me love him more... I just love his style... Props ro Selah still, but I know way too many Monks that can do that... to my experiences he just looks like a circus performer or a yoga instructor moving to music and as i said - I know a LOT of monks that can do that, so it's not as fresh to me as it probably should be... Biggup to both of them though... Slick show.
Salah killed that shit. Of course, we do got our Salah haters, and that's ok. Anyway, much respect to both. Salah battled him, while also displaying awesome showmanship at the same time. That's my opinion. I'm entitled to that. The other guy was pretty dope too though.
Na I agree. Dementia looked like the better dancer here. He's got real good style n flow, especially with the way he moves in an out in and into his Egyptian. Salah is more of an entertainer to me. I've been watchin lots a videos, tryin 2 c how ell he frestyles. He doesn't do much. He concentrates on working the audience. But he does freestyle good.
Yea, then singing abit with the song dramatically and pointing at a the person awkwardly while shimmying/gliding to the left, yea thats popping.... yep.... when dementia is "boogaloo, flowing, tutting, liquid-raving for a split second and throwing robot moves" Salah is considered "winning" by immitating his action, flowing for a bit and impressing the crowd with wierd ass movements... kinda dont look like boogaloo nor flowing...
Mr. Fantastic stole one of Salah's moves on So You Can Dance, the egyptian hand motion thing. It's one thing to move like someone, it's another to steal parts of the act, I guess.
D showed more variations but all that was the usual shit you always see. Salah came with simple moves which most people have never thought of in popping and that's what gave him the win.
@SuperPluto10 It's good, but he's got horrible duck tuts... But a great popper nonetheless. And Salah, I don't even have to say anything.. But this didn't show his skills off too much.
yes they are two different dancers, but they have something in common, getting ate by salah. that vid showes clearly vs acky, that salah has mature moves, and are both new and old. i watched salah vs gucchon, at the UK BBoy WHERE ONE OF THE JUDGES SUGAPOP SAID that salah beat gucchon. If you think u can just a dancer better than sugapop you're just ignorant. i didnt think gucchon got that much of the better of salah if at all ..in BOTB05'
Get outta here. Oh, he can hit on the hardest and most well known beats of the song.. how amazing. seriously. it just shows knowledge for the song and nice timing. dont judge over a few hits.
Dementia definitely won, no question. Dementia was on beat and actually dancing. Salah is a has been, he's does the exact same moves every time. Note: just because it looks different doesn't mean it's good.
I liked the shoe bit. Twas funny. When he uses it to futher animate he body wave i thought it was genius. The people who don't like it just prove that geniuses are never understood in their own time.
I have a question for you then.. Sanjuz.. If Dementia exposed Salah then how come Salah went on to the finals eh? cause the judges and crowds don't know what they're doing? Man, you are just one opinion against many. keep it to yourself and stop stating opinions like they are solid facts.
Ok, in this battle, just for the popping's point of view, Dementia took it in my opinion. But in terme of DANCE?? Well salah is waay above. And in this routine I have to say that it really looks like he isn't even trying.
Uhm, yeah as a matter a fact, in person. Hes a showcaser/entertainer. Hes a crowd pleaser. Have you seen HOW he wins? Less actual popping. More of a trick artist if anything. He has (or used to) have a bit where he pulls out a really think hanky. And just plays around with it. I swear, he had that act for like a few months. If anything, he shouldnt be winning battles against greats and originals.
Yup and 2024 still watching
2023 any one !
salah dances with musicality and has tricks on top of that. he is just damn good thats why yall hate
nice to see a new angle to this battle and the last round...props
Two dancers that are unbelievable.
plus they did Cameo justice.
gives you an idea of what I think about locking
dementia actually put up a good show...... i was impressed..... but Salah still remains Legendary
Yeah i was there!! Thats the Boat house at Mc Arthur Park downtown los Angeles !!!
Chuck! How have you been? I miss the LA popping scene a lot. Hope you are well, homie.
Salah is the perfect example of style over form.
2020im still here
I filmed this.. crazy to see the footage resurface. This was the same day that kmel battled stuntman in the ciphers
putt other footage bro
Salah got badly exposed as a preening clown by a true MASTER of the game. Dementia is easily the best locker\popper I have ever seen - totally classical style - the living definition of what locking\popping is all about.
A fine battle of two very good dancers.
OOOOOO! Great comeback..
thanks man im rogert, im colombian i love the poppin, i dance a few but i am onu of the best of Santander what videos you recoment to me ?
i aint a poppin fan, but salah always surprises me...he can always put his popping into the song, which is awesome cus its all about the musique...but the other guy did really good also...so watever...

This is some fine quality poppin!
Cameo song owns!
When he flipped his shoe in the air it was all but over for this other man . 😂😂😂😂

@fanaticfire86 yeah, people always hate on salah cause he can do it all, like you said... he entertains, does eye candy, AND he POPS... hate it or love it... he can compete with any dancer... period
Exactly, 1 of the most hard choice battles i ever seen, Salah and Dementia are my favorites :P , Cant decide :D.
@teamstuttgard I do not agree, he always comes with something interesting unlike the other guys. and his moves are perfectly executed, isolation etc.
salah is a monster
In every video of this im totally suprise!!! Salah is pure life and entertainment baby!!
Dementia is awesome :) tuts for that long XD and it looks good
what's the names of the songs they dancin off of?
Selah's alright, it is impressive to mix that level of anatomic contortion with Bu steps, but I'm a Dementia fan and this only makes me love him more... I just love his style... Props ro Selah still, but I know way too many Monks that can do that... to my experiences he just looks like a circus performer or a yoga instructor moving to music and as i said - I know a LOT of monks that can do that, so it's not as fresh to me as it probably should be...

I was just about to say the same thing. Salah has lots of tricks and he hits the beats but no dancing.
@jesscb206 poppin is a dance not just tricks the equivalent of blow up moves so Dementia has this one ..
nobody can't dance like salah!
that's different!
i don't wanna say he is do popping or not!!!
but obviously he is a great DANCER!
at last who win salah in BBOY summit 2004???
whats the name from de songs? please
@jquinnlee
true
Salah as always 🔥
who win?? tell me demenita?? salah??
I agree that beginning it was dementia who had them going, but he fizzled out during the second round.. that was disappointing.
Ohh 2006
whats the name to this track???
Anyone know what song this is?
Theres no locking at all in this video. All popping.
The fedora hats though!
Um Dementia (white shirt) was the one doing the Egyptian hands and it's not an "original" move. That's like saying someone stole someone's pirouette.
Yea, then singing abit with the song dramatically and pointing at a the person awkwardly while shimmying/gliding to the left, yea thats popping.... yep.... when dementia is "boogaloo, flowing, tutting, liquid-raving for a split second and throwing robot moves"
Salah is considered "winning" by immitating his action, flowing for a bit and impressing the crowd with wierd ass movements... kinda dont look like boogaloo nor flowing...
Awesome battle, almost too close to call!
I think the same think bro jazzvec
what song is this??
what i wana know is how does salah dance with his shoe that loose so he can flick it off? i'll roll my ankle for sure
Mr. Fantastic stole one of Salah's moves on So You Can Dance, the egyptian hand motion thing. It's one thing to move like someone, it's another to steal parts of the act, I guess.
what?!?!dementias tuts are wayy cleaner than salahs
Salah Has a wicked strategy stlyle when it comes to battling
salah wasn't goofing around its called having fun while dancing.
looks like Dementia brought his A game
KEEP TUTIN ON EM
beautiful
salah murdered him. I agree though Mr. Wiggles is something else. Pacman, is solid, too.
good battle. i think dementia just does alot of tutting thought but it's still awesome but salah mixed it up which is why i think he should of won
D showed more variations but all that was the usual shit you always see. Salah came with simple moves which most people have never thought of in popping and that's what gave him the win.
@SuperPluto10 It's good, but he's got horrible duck tuts... But a great popper nonetheless. And Salah, I don't even have to say anything.. But this didn't show his skills off too much.
salah = entertainer but still is good popper
dementia = skills and technique
if you can entertain with skills and technique, you win
On a scale,Dementia 99.5, Salah 99.49. Demtia did less mime and more dancing. He was locked into the beat real tight.
Dementia is pretty tight too.
New York I believe.
nevermind found it!! For those who wanna know its.
SHAKE YOUR PANTS BY CAMEO
2024 anyone!?
there's no locking in this video!
yes they are two different dancers, but they have something in common, getting ate by salah.
that vid showes clearly vs acky, that salah has mature moves, and are both new and old. i watched salah vs gucchon, at the UK BBoy WHERE ONE OF THE JUDGES SUGAPOP SAID that salah beat gucchon. If you think u can just a dancer better than sugapop you're just ignorant. i didnt think gucchon got that much of the better of salah if at all ..in BOTB05'
salah is a entertainer. Dementia is a popper. This was a popping battle. Not a street show. Dementia took it.
Get outta here.
Oh, he can hit on the hardest and most well known beats of the song..
how amazing. seriously. it just shows knowledge for the song and nice timing. dont judge over a few hits.
dementia was really clean
Man, they both are dope!!!!!! Dementia always getsopen and Salah is just ridiculous. Don't think he's all tricks though.........lol
whats the song name pls ?!!!!
when you find the song name send me
judge*
Wow Salah
its a battle, and Salah won it. Cus its all about soul.
theze a tight battle
Not to disrespect salah but the part @ 2:08-2:09 didnt look rite
popmastah, please search salah vs acky. you have no idea, what you're talking about. salah just simply didnt HAVE to dance to beat him.
Dementia definitely won, no question. Dementia was on beat and actually dancing. Salah is a has been, he's does the exact same moves every time. Note: just because it looks different doesn't mean it's good.
salah is funny and dance to music... but dementia has the flow & skillz fromm my oponion dementia wins!!
wow, a fan of salah but dementia killed itfeawijfew, anyone know the winner?
i was there =D
salah vs jsmooth was down
Dementia is such a beast.
Damon frost is God at flowing man, lmao XD
I liked the shoe bit. Twas funny. When he uses it to futher animate he body wave i thought it was genius. The people who don't like it just prove that geniuses are never understood in their own time.
Dementia é um dançarino formidável, um monstro. Sem dúvida ele foi o melhor nessa disputa.
Salah spent too much time mocking - Dementia showed sweet skills in his second set
@AznStyleRemixX
not even....I wouldn't say he "killed" him. He was just more original and classic
I have a question for you then.. Sanjuz..
If Dementia exposed Salah then how come Salah went on to the finals eh? cause the judges and crowds don't know what they're doing? Man, you are just one opinion against many. keep it to yourself and stop stating opinions like they are solid facts.
i dont know about ya'll,, but i want to be entertained. Salah is way nicer than dementia and much more entertaining.
wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
salah
shake your pants by cameo
You're joking right? Salah(in yellow) killed it.
Ok, in this battle, just for the popping's point of view, Dementia took it in my opinion. But in terme of DANCE?? Well salah is waay above. And in this routine I have to say that it really looks like he isn't even trying.
salah omg
Uhm, yeah as a matter a fact, in person.
Hes a showcaser/entertainer.
Hes a crowd pleaser. Have you seen HOW he wins? Less actual popping. More of a trick artist if anything. He has (or used to) have a bit where he pulls out a really think hanky. And just plays around with it. I swear, he had that act for like a few months. If anything, he shouldnt be winning battles against greats and originals.
the only damn trick salah did was the shoe thing
apologies - but for me Dementia was on a different planet to Salah
um i dont think that was salah first competition lol
