PROMOTING HIP-HOP IN AFRICA B-BOY C-MAX TO LOUDBASE: WHY I DID NOT COME OUT FOR REDBULL BC ONE NIGERIA CYPHER 2019 Why did you not turn up for Bc One Nigeria: My crew had a tragic situation where one of our members family lost his life so as a crew and family we had to attend the funeral and the date was on the qualifier day but we thought we could make it unfortunately we couldn't beat the time. B-boy Jc Jedor was One of the judges for this year Another aspect I like to advice is B-boys should go and learn properly Bc One Nigeria Cypher, How do you feel about it? how the judging system works so we can improve as B-boys this is Because you tried calling him out of his judging because Judges complain most of the time about Crews lacking seat?: foundation in breaking also I want to point out something about my style, there are rumors that my style is jumping around but B-boys I had a conversation with JC as a friend he is to me to come and battle, this is because he is seen all the time have to look at B-boy Thesis, B-boy Menno they have their style and judging but this is not the reason why I did not turn up to they are different and this is to say that my style is me and not any qualify for the finals. I sounded this because he is one of one. the B-boys that we all respect but we have not seen him How do you feel about your crew loosing to 619 crew at Boty battle once only judging in all breaking platforms but the Nigeria 2019 and you losing to Gidinasty at BotyNg 1 vs 1 ?: idea is if he comes out to battle, it will give the scene an Well there is no difference between what my crew street cypher did edge because he is a pro b-boy as claimed and there is and what 619 Crew did we did battle and we did our very best, its just nothing wrong for him battling. annoying when the judges say we lack foundation. For my solo battle in Boty against Gidinasty if you have the video check out my rounds How do you advice the scene: and compare to what Gdinasty did, he actually repeated his moves The scene is growing with platforms for b-boys to and yet he won. He even met me at he end of the battle to tell me I brought fire to him, he is a nice B-boy but I had more advantage. In participate and this is just one step for us as a community. Boty Ng the Mcs are also part of B-boys problems. Well I advice that B-boys here is Nigeria have to be more informed and we have to put our egos down and learn from each other.

NORTH B-BOYS ARE NOT HAPPY (B-BOY SPINOZA) Next page B-boy Spinoza explained to Loudbase Though we are a bit distance and it will that B-boys in the North are not very definitely be challenging for b-boys to happy that they were not part of the get to Lagos to participate. Its late now Redbull Bc one Nigeria cypher, Most of but my advice is that Redbull should do the B-boys in the North have been something next time too get the B-boys training. The last event they ever attended from the North to be also part of this so far was B-boy Steady jam in 2017 and exercise. later I judged in 2018 in Lagos. There are good number of B-boys in the North. There are B-boys in Kastina, Zaria, Kaduna, and also in Abuja and of cause there are B-boys in Jos were I reside currently. As i speak to you the scene has started in Benue State.

As a Judge in the redbull Bc one Nigeria cypher is a good experience for me at least. I will be able to share my experience with the B-boys in the north.

NORTH B-BOYS ARE NOT First, the information did not really touch the ground, I mean if it gets to the south and HAPPY (B-boy Spinoza) the West then the information should have gotten to the North.

PROMOTING HIP-HOP IN AFRICA B-BOY C-MAX TO LOUDBASE: WHY I DID NOT COME OUT FOR REDBULL BC ONE NIGERIA CYPHER 2019 (Continuation) Rapmana Tha X needs to hype well because this is a breaking event and a competition for that matter, his hype should be able to get the guys gingered that’s the area he is lacking.

But he has not much levels , I like his charisma, Will you be battling in Bc one Nigeria Gidinasty is really taking more advantage, he will win Cypher Next year?: from all I have seen.

Yes will by the grace of God, I will have to How About B-boy Midnight, looks like he is getting bring my best. To be precise from what I have to the finals: seen so far I will have to work on Music and other aspect of my Breaks. Yes from what I can also see compare to Gidinasty,

Midnight gat Moves but I still know that Gidinasty What have you seen so far in this Redbull Bc will win the battle because he shows much of him in One Nigeria Cypher 2019?: control of the battle.

Well Gidi nasty is taking advantage of the situation, he has music of cause this is his advantage and he is probably making good use of it. PROMOTING HIP-HOP IN AFRICA The question initially was if 2017 defending champion of Redbull Bc One Nigeria Cypher B-boy Smoke of Outsiders crew will defend his tittle in the Redbull bc one cypher Nigeria 2019. B-boy Smoke explains briefly to Loudbase why he did not win his battle against B- boy Tobest of 619 Crew.

He described B-boy Tobest to be a “Biter” that his moves against him was copied from B-boy Mounir of Vagabond crew (France). B-boy Smoke Explained Briefly to Loudbase why he was Knocked out in his B-boy Smoke: first round at the Redbull Bc One Cypher Nigeria When I was on stage I did not hear the beat properly, it was a final. problem for me, Secondly my opponent by name B-boy Tobest is a Copy Cat, all his moves are copied from Mounir of Vagabond crew in France and I don’t regard him to be original. Our judges don’t see this as well they just Judge. All that mattered to me on stage was the sound. It was actually difficult for me to actually dance well because the sound was not good.

But so far so good it was ok because I came to dance and not to do copied work. I have won before, its on record and I am so proud of it.

PROMOTING HIP-HOP IN AFRICA COMMENT BY LILOU ABOUT THE WINNER OF REDBULL BC ONE NIGERIA 2019

2 years ago which is 2017 I was here, seems better than what I am seeing so far today but simply want to say that the winner of the current Bc one Nigeria cypher 2019 Gidinasty deserve to win and has more skillz and show. he has the experience to put the Nigerian breaking scene on the map. the Nigeria breaking scene has grown but the b-boy level need more work.

currently am busy pursuing the African talent to the world market. after here I will be at France world final and after will be in Douala, Cameroun for keep on breaking final.

PROMOTING HIP-HOP IN AFRICA COMMENT BY JC JEDOR ABOUT THE WINNER OF REDBULL BC ONE NIGERIA 2019

The event to day made sense and actually went well from the first round to he last round. The winner brought the level and energy.

B-boy Midnight was not a lesser opponent but he lost his energy why B-boy Gidinasty kept his energy.

The turnout of the event made sense, reference to Battle of the year Nigeria 2019 b-BOY Midnight met B-boy Gidinasty but Gidinasty got him out. Its so interesting the this same people met at the finals again today at the Redbull bC one finals 2019, B-boy Midnght showed strength but B-boy Gidinasty was always on top of his game.

PROMOTING HIP-HOP IN AFRICA Today was a challenge for me, its was quite unfortunate that I got in t Nigeria to day and lost my luggage at the airport yet we are rectifying that aspect. I never knew I would make it top to the top despite the stress.

As champion at Battle of the year Nigeria 2019, I won because I made sure of winning. Bc one was a wild card so I had to take it. I took up this card because the –B- boys here gat respect for me so II had to respect that too and come back and it feels good doing this at home..

I don’t really know B-boy Midnight but his battle was like the old so gat to be like my self. In Boty he was scary but in Bc one he was suppose to take his REDBULL BC ONE NIGERIA revenge but I gat him. CYPHER 2019 CHAMPION B-BOY GIDINASTY
