Much more impressive IMHO.- screwfanboys1, on 03/29/2008, -7/+2maybe, but THIS is the real deal

- Dorke, on 03/29/2008, -6/+45A poor man's rahzel.
- oblique63, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4amen... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB46rT2Nz1E FTW
- omgosh, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2But...you're still not ready for the four elements:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=RCM9710WxN4- heynoop, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1four elements is the ***** best beatbox track ever
- souljaboytellem, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2An even poorer Doug E. Fresh
- Masticity, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1seriously, i was looking on youtube and theres video's of people ripping off Rahzel! especially this fat french guy! That *****'s bunk!
- NotOptium, on 03/29/2008, -3/+4I'll be buried, but having heard both Scratch and Rahzel quite a bit, I can honestly say Rahzel has nothing on Scratch. Though he didn't do it in the video, Scratch can keep doing a drum beat under the scratch/talking that he does. He does it on jazz bassist Christian McBride's Live at Tonic (disc 3...track 1: E Jam). He scratches over the entire band, then the band drops out and he continues the beat and a sparse bassline himself, all while he's still making turntable noises. If Your Mother and Iron Man pale in comparison.
- stubadub, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2The ability you are describing is something I've seen Rahzel do as well. They are both very talented.
- Peko, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3if your mother only knew.....
- audioscience, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2Thunder stolen!
- walkingdogs, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3He's not a poor mans Rhazel. Both scratch and rhazel were/are part of The Roots. The both stand alone in their beatboxing skills but Rhazel also raps and sings where as scratch is pure beatboxing. Scratch is basically The Roots DJ since they are a live music group and don't have a DJ. They put on the best show in Hip Hop and I would argue put on one of the best shows in music period.
- Stryder81, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1lol Rahzel is my boy, he lives a few blocks away from me in the Bronx :-)
Awesome guy...
I'll show him what you said aha - rstarr, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1And Rah is a poor man's Kenny Muhamed...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=55C0RirU3yA
I saw one at Rock the Bells in NYC, and then one at the free Government Center show in Boston a week later and Kenny riiiipped him.
- disillusioned, on 03/29/2008, -7/+5When you do it alllllll the time, you start to get pretty decent. I'm starting to figure out that I can hum and whistle at two different pitches... and also whistle/beatbox at the same time. The hum/whistle is a bitch, because I can only move one of the pitches independently, and I can't control how tightly I move them. But I'm getting better at it.
The beat boxing wasn't terribly impressive compared to, say, Rahzel, though. - cygnus2112, on 03/29/2008, -7/+9Being impressed by the noises a human can make out of one's mouth is so 80's.
- Myztry, on 03/29/2008, -5/+1Police Academy (1984). What was the name of that Negro fellow that had a voice box like a top of the line Synthesizer? Can't quite remember but he makes this guy sound like he's just singing in the shower.
- Peko, on 03/29/2008, -2/+1Dugg for "Negro Fellow". ha.
(Glad you made sure to say he's black, to cut down on confusion with all the white beat boxers from police academy)- Myztry, on 03/30/2008, -0/+1Coming from Australia, we don't really encounter many Negro's. I was just trying to be specific, yet polite. Also, not being as young as a majority of Diggers, I don't tend to assume the younger generation has any clue what the hell I'm talking about.. :)
- Peko, on 03/29/2008, -2/+1Dugg for "Negro Fellow". ha.

- rushco, on 03/29/2008, -8/+2Old. Old. Old Old.
- guiltyblade, on 03/29/2008, -3/+7lame no rahzel
- petebert, on 03/29/2008, -4/+9guy from police academy was better
- Masticity, on 03/29/2008, -1/+2that guy was a robot, not a human.
- jaalin, on 03/29/2008, -1/+38were you one of the old white ladies in the audience?? here's some real beatboxing from one of the better known guys in the world:
part1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4P7sdo_Aj0o&feature ...
part2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMr2cn04wKA&feature ...- mjpanzer, on 03/29/2008, -1/+2roxorloops is above and beyond anyone else out there
- Masticity, on 03/29/2008, -2/+3Rahzel would demolish him.
- rivermandan, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1rahzel is tired, roxorloops and beardyman are on the top
- CasaMan, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4No he wouldn't..
"Roxorloops teach Rahzel in echo beatbox"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R-5VnZkoY4- Masticity, on 03/29/2008, -3/+1Rahzel was playing with him. Thats like me asking you how to be awesome. You might be a little awesome, but seriously, I am ***** awesome.
- CasaMan, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1:D
- walkingdogs, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1His skills may surpass Rahzel by a bit but Rahzel is a much better performer and puts on a much better show. Those videos you linked to a nice but its like a demonstration not a performance.
- TheMoniker, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0He's pretty damn good. Added to my favorites along with Killa Kella, Beardyman, Scratch and Rahzel. Thanks.
- Retuow, on 03/29/2008, -5/+1Video section?
- screwfanboys1, on 03/29/2008, -2/+3lol at the all white audience...where is this?

- shmatt, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1rahzel- he's fukin GOOD - but that was rather weak and boring
- Klarth, on 03/29/2008, -2/+6"Human beatbox"? Isn't that a bit redundant? The practice is called beatboxing anyway.
- ElAssoWipo, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4Both my sons were beatboxers before they learned to speak.
- shmatt, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1that's the term used by the original pioneers including Doug E Fresh and Cool Rock Ski of the Fat Boys... who IMO were both better than this guy...
- expunged, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1Why is it redundant?
'Beatbox' is (or at least used to be) a term for an electronic drum machine back before everyone and their brother had one. So, a 'human beatbox' is a person that's acting as a drum machine. It fits, and doesn't seem redundant to me.
- h34dsh0t, on 03/29/2008, -7/+6This guy is off the charts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHg5SJYRHA0
- shmatt, on 03/29/2008, -2/+1gee i wonder who it could be.. bet you ten milllllion dollars it's rick
- Nitrouz, on 03/29/2008, -3/+0This isn't the time to Rick Roll
- eOgas, on 03/30/2008, -0/+1it's ALWAYS the time to rick roll!
- sfacets, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4So many beatboxers come up to this standard. And surpass it. This guy for example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKslDLPpp34&feature ...

- tim507, on 03/29/2008, -3/+10Rahzel is way cooler.

- Mawds, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4Beardyman FTW !

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=1PMZ3QQqwtY - icecoldtrashcan, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3Agreed, the guy in the above video is great, Beardyman is something else, check out the second of Mawd's links. Beardyman is more inventive, imo.
- Mawds, on 03/29/2008, -0/+4Beardyman FTW !
- werddrew, on 03/29/2008, -1/+3I mean, he wasn't bad... But was he really that incredible? A lot of that stuff I can do and I'm not good at *all*.
- justiceape, on 03/29/2008, -1/+4Not amazing.
- lektroluv, on 03/29/2008, -2/+12Wow, that was very average!
Beardyman ftw:

beardy's ability to reverse whatever you want him to is something no other beatboxer can touch - Flangeman, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2Yeah! Beardyman is great! His style is so unique, he's got loads more talent than any other beatboxer I've ever seen. He's the UK beatboxing champion.
Do you know his brother Jay? He writes funny songs, and wrote the infamous "Moon Chavs"
- rivermandan, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1http://beardyman.co.uk/beardyaudios.html
- Dizzy149, on 03/29/2008, -5/+2Butterscotch from America's Got Talent is better... And way cuter.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0e9JobZ7Ks- stubadub, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1She's definitely hotter, but they are all pretty comperably talented. Scratch replaced Rahzel in the Roots, Rahzel went on to work quite a bit with Mike Patton, and Butterscotch played Rahzel's part on tour for Mike Patton's Peeping Tom project.
- dasmonki, on 03/29/2008, -1/+2I've been in freestyling circles with better beats than that.
- Neoanarchist, on 03/29/2008, -2/+1That was pathetic compared to almost any other beatbox on youtube...buried for being lame.
- damndj, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1I thought this was going to be Blake Lewis.
- NinjaPirateDude, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1apparently ALL beatboxers are humans, just goes to show ya!
- shimoroka, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1His bass sounds we're pretty impressive, but I've seen much better and longer performances too.
- xkingADROCKx, on 03/29/2008, -1/+31000x better -
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Ow7IwpoU7Vk- rento, on 03/29/2008, -0/+3Agreed Beardy Men is the Thing. Amongst many of his videos I ve found this http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eun48e4mo_8
- xkingADROCKx, on 03/29/2008, -0/+2yeh, everyone says "I know a better beat box vid" but ultimately, no one is better than the beardy man.
- Dunhamzzz, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1Old and seen a lot more better ones.
- dchaffin, on 03/29/2008, -1/+2I second the Beardyman notion - this guy has nothing on him: http://www.myspace.com/beardyman
- toros, on 03/29/2008, -1/+3Harmonica Beatbox FTW
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MYtTtnfmsgc- GOVATENT, on 03/29/2008, -0/+1that is crazy, i have never seen it before.
- ekboost, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1Scratch is actually pretty good. This is a really average video of him though. Check out his live concerts with the roots and you'll like it more.
- ImYourRealDad, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1Psch. Biz Markie any day.
- ObeseSnake, on 03/29/2008, -1/+1Wickity wack! All he's doing is scratch sounds. Beatboxing is way more than that. Plus the hand behind the back thing was lame.
- smotheredinhugs, on 03/29/2008, -2/+1Killa Kela smokes all these fools
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=killa+ ... - law1ess, on 03/29/2008, -1/+3That dude is OK... but far from amazing. Hell, this chubby white dude from some Idol show is better:

- rexrep, on 03/29/2008, -2/+3why is that when white people (in general) see a "new" cultural phenomenon on stage, they always seem to clap in unison...even when its not in sync with the act.
- lookadeez, on 03/29/2008, -0/+0It's a cultural thing. They tend to clap on the 1 and 3, or on every beat, as opposed to the 2 and 4 like Black folks. Just different. When I'm working with WHite people, you have to clap first to let em know what ya want cuz if not, they go to what they know. No big deal really.
