Hey Rico honestly I love pooh style I think he killed it and won! Smoke is one of the greats. Don't get me wrong but pooh killed it for the younger generation! Smoke won it fair and square...seemed like his name and who he is gave him an edge...people probally didn't know who pooh was...I've been listening to him since I was 13-14 and I'm 23 now he has evolved a lot! I just think his different styles made him win in my eyes just my opinion
how the fuck did smoke win because he can play the drums faster than pooh smh yea smoke is a legend and all and he played wit n.e groovers but so what pooh rocked the beat better he played two instruments at the same time and used his chin to hit the congos and his performance sounded better too listen too the real video above this one then comeback stop being bias cause smoke is famous he just plays fast i want to hear a beat
Shoot, I agree, fast playing doesn't make a great player. I think it can just be a distraction. But despite that, Smoke dropped on the beat just right, in several places, in this clip. I'm just going by this clip. I'll look up more of Pooh's videos. And I loved how Pooh played the cowbell and drummed with one hand. I wasn't being biased by fame. Like I said, my favorite conga player is Nicky Barnes, and it's not like he's the most famous. I thought Smoke was funkier, in the finals, here, but that's just my opinion.
Yes the "proper" name of the drums he's playing a congas. The bell keep the tempo is a from of an agogo bell. This one is what westerns call a cow bell.
Sorry for the dumb question but what style of conga music is this as it's soooooo cool and uplifting?
I loved everyminute of it. I'm so proud of my city...
What happened to the Conga Battles did they go away with 2013?? Gonna have to start my own in RVA if the DC players are through....!!!
That would be great. I'll put in $20, towards the prize congas, if we do one here.
Yes he do stay on point can't wait to this again next year thanks Rico And my man SMOKE.
I'm from old school Go Go. Left DC 20 years ago. Who is this man Smoke? He is the best conga player I've ever seen!

Pooh sounds great. Smoke won, though, I agree. Nicky Barnes is still my favorite, out there, though.

I think Pooh won that. I could follow his groove better. Now don't get me wrong, Smoke killed it but I think Pooh got that one.
He definitely won... All Sam's solos sound the same. If he doesn't roll out, then he has nothing.
@@alfatir14 stop with the bs smoke crank even without rolling get some congo's then say that team N.E.G/ MIX/ WHAT/P71/NOW R.E.
father time likes this one...Russ
Supa Dave had the best solo... Same boring role outs for these two solos.
Smokes sockets and solos are hard to beat
Smoke just nasty dam
