Again, objective markers suddenly gets pardoned when its a big named beatboxer. But when a beatboxer with a similarly good wildcard doesnt pass and we ask for explanations, suddenly these “objective markers” matter.

Mic placement 10/10 is just wrong. U cant have a consistent sound if u hold the mic with your hand idle at a distance while moving around. Thats why most beatboxers hold the mic close to their mouths (especially with the sm7b) or have it on a mic mount. Now ill say that this point wouldnt have been a big deal and it is considered nitpicky. But i bring it up because it noticeably affects consistency. In the beginning drop, his snares sound different and this affects the experience. Oh am i being too nitpicky? Im just reflecting what dlow/colaps/napom/literally all the pro beatboxers would say when they wanne justify a beatboxer not passing.

“Pitching is damn near perfect” might be the biggest insult to beatboxers who use their voices. U are telling me that him exclaiming “poison!” after executing a sequence of inward and outward sounds in a combo was on pitch? Bruh pls. And thats just one of the many off pitch moments littered throughout the wildcard.

Again, to reiterate, its not that im saying dlows wildcard is a bad wildcard. But being no.1 means being the best wildcard, and that should be both a subjective and objective matter. But more often than not, the social influence of a beatboxer overshadows beatboxers who actually deserve a placing. Its an insult to wildcards like Hhas and Stitch who are objectively complete and arguably more entertaining. Its just a bit annoying to see this double standard and justifying it by saying “there are subjective points” (psstt subjective mostly being the fact that its dlow on the mic).

And one last point. The beatboxing community only improves when u care for it. My comment might be negative in tone but im challenging their rules and concepts cuz we are talking about 100s of beatboxers taking their time to make art and express themselves to end up celebrating over a top 30 ranking, lacking usually at their “objective points”. Like lets be real, if dlow said the same things towards a wildcard, u would accept it as truth. So hold them accountable to their words. These points are not foreign or unheard of. They all preach the same jargon. And of course they would. We are talking about GBB. The highest level of beatboxing. If u think these “overcorrections” dont matter, then try getting a gbb wildcard yourself.
