Stumbled across this video the other day and had to share it. I love classical music, I love beatboxing, and I love breakdancing. So a video that combines all three is a definite win in my book. Hard to sum up this video in words - check it out.
Some of the beatboxing in this video really reminds me of the solo beatboxing that Rahzel from The Roots used to do - phenomenal, multi-faceted, throaty and crisp. Rahzel is a guy that made a lot of noise (pun intended) in the late 90s but has mostly disappeared since. He was known as The Godfather of Noyze, and although his stuff hasn't really grown much, it's still pretty essential listening. Here are two of his best tracks - "If Your Mother Only Knew" and "Battle w/ DJ Scribble". On the first he shows off his chops, beatboxing and singing at the same time, live in concert. The second is a DJ vs. beatbox battle that pretty much defined my white suburban teenage years. Lap it up.
