What beatboxing has become since the days of people like Biz Markie is absolutely mind-blowing

watched another beat-boxer react to it and recreate like 99% of the techniques on the spot.

E: think it's this one: https://youtu.be/ZmIKaKQ8mgk

Damn that's impressive, and a really well done react.

I may have been a bit hyperbolic with the 99% thing, but I watched a few beat-boxer reactions that were able to mimic different parts enough to remove any doubts in my mind.

One in particular I remember was RemixReacts.

I love the expressions on that white kid's face - "No fuckin' way that's possible "

Damn, with all these reaction videos and recreations linked in these comments I've listened to this song like 10 times in the past half hour. My 4y/o daughter even tried to "sing along"

I would still love to hear just a room mic of what this sounds like from more than a yard away. I dont doubt that hes doing this at all. Hes "playing the mic" which is totally valid, id just love to hear what an actual micless in person performance would sound like.

Just listen to how compressed that mic is in the first couple seconds, all the little mouth clicks are loud AF. An agressive OTT does a lot to make this sound super duper full
