@@annemayseyfried8907 since the battle I've learned that they both do in fact know each other and both list rahzel as a source of inspiration. I'm waiting for like a big beatbox cypher lol.
The thing with Adam Rupp is that he isn't just a beatboxer. He's an *entertainer*. He sings as well and holds his own with a group of trained vocalists. He did probably the most layered, complex a cappella arrangement ever -- Home Free's "Do You Hear What I Hear?" Heck, he even learned the Korean lyrics to "Gangnam Style" for a throwaway bit HF did in their stage show. He's multitalented and is the heartbeat of Home Free. There might be people who are technically better beatboxers, but what he contributes to Home Free is unbeatable.
Most of the beatboxers in competitions sing while beatboxing at the same time actually Musicality is a big part of the judging criteria in beatbox competitions Check out people like mb14 or d low or inertia Not tryna hate on Adam or anything I'm just saying that there are plenty of beatboxers that are good entertainers Actually most are
@@johngeo5816 And do most of them sing with a group of trained vocalists? Have they founded and held a group together for 21 years? Do they do complex vocal arrangements? If you judge him purely on beatboxing, there might be better beatboxers. But he's more than that.
Adam is pretty awesome, particularly when you consider that he's self-taught, and basically took up beat-boxing because he was starting a vocal group for the church talent show with his brother and his friends, and decided he'd rather do that than sing... Of course, an important thing is that his primary purpose is to be the drumkit and sound effects for a group - I've no doubt that there are beat-boxers out there who can do wilder things, but that's not what he's trying to achieve.
Watched both videos and Adam wins it hands down. Adam's work is electrifying. Before I discovered Home Free I had no interest in beat boxing or a cappella music. Now, I'm addicted to Home Free and Adam Rupp's beat boxing performances. So exciting, both in produced work and the recorded live performances. And seriously, beat boxing with choreography? Adam is a beast.
Beatboxing is usually a guy making funny mouth noises; always disgusted me, even with PTX. Until Home Free, where Adam actually sounds MUCH more like real instruments, to the point you forget there isn't any!
Believe it or not, Adam is self-taught. In one of the behind the scenes videos on Home Free's channel, we go into his house and he shows us the first book he used to learn basic beatboxing. Apparently, his brother, Chris, was also learning, but Adam was so much better that he starting doing the beatboxing for the group. He has obviously improved greatly since the group was founded in 2000/2001. It is my understanding that he has won awards for his beatboxing, too. He also taught the other members of Home Free some basic beatboxing which can be seen in the video of their live performance of 9 to 5 with the beatboxing breakdown. You might want to check it out just for fun.
One thing that goes without notice, is that he's doing this Solo halfway through the Home Free Concert! Now, I haven't watched your Guy yet, but does he do the same thing? You already mentioned that your Guy's Video isn't as long, so my pre-viewing your Guy's Video Feedback, looks like Adam does twice as much and during a Home Free Concert! He even Dances and Entertains (with and to) the Audience! So now Your Guy's turn!
I think it's great that you are going to stack your favorite. Up against Adam. Others have conceded. That said, Adam is the heartbeat of Home Free and does very little for solo work. Perfect fit for HF.
Of course this is all in good fun. Neither are the king, that title goes to the OG Rahzel who I am SURE inspired them both. Granted they have modernized on that OG sound. I love them all! All are AMAZING musical talents.
Thom (Tom) Thumb also does Billy Jean with the singing. Didgeridoo is a thin log or branch that, traditionally, was fire treated and allowed to be hollowed out but termites. Any holes left were filled in with wax. It is then "blown" into like a brass instrument and those who can really master it can breath in while still blowing (circular breathing). When done correctly it is amazing and can be continued for long periods. This is, by no means, Adams full repertoire but I'm looking forward to part two. I will be objective but will also be listening to see how well I think your guy would fit into a group as well as the solo performance.
his mirror jacket was custom-made by i think the same designer who works for bruno mars! he said it gets really hot when he just stays there shining for a while lol
Unfortunately the cell phone doesn’t pick up well the bass sounds, but you kind of get it. Adam’s favourite beatboxers are Reeps1 and Beardyman. I’m sure every beatboxer is influenced by Rahzel tho. Thanks for doing this!
Chance was actually doing a mouth harp (also called a Jew's harp & jaw harp) not a didgeridoo. The mouth harp is very common in old Southern or Bluegrass music such as the song Man of Constant Sorrow.
His nomonica will blow your socks off in the video Ain't Goin'Down Til the Sun Comes Up. He's marvellous and one of the five most multitalented people I've run across in my right decades!
Adam impresses me with the energy and musicianship he brings to Home Free. He pushes them to another level. And is consistent for a 90 minute show, the numerous shows they do per year, and over two decades.
The “taxi driver” sings, does a little beatboxing, does a little singing, does a little beatboxing, pfft. Not impressed, sorry. Oh, and by the way, Adam Rupp sings, too. Very well, in fact. With a top tier a cappella group, Home Free. Sorry, no comparison, whatsoever.
Posting this here too since I posted it in Felix's Battle! Okay Final Thoughts: Hard to compare first and foremost for multiple reasons! 1 Poor video and sound quality on the video! Felix Wins! 2 Genre's they each play! Adam Wins 3 Amount of time playing! Adam Wins 4 Cool Cricket-like sound! Felix Wins 5 Dancing! Adam Wins 6 Entertaining because of the concert setting! Adam Wins 7 Entertaining Short! Felix Wins 8 Drum Clarity Sounds! Adam Wins If looking solely at these points Adam Wins! Okay now with all the additional information that I know on Adam: Sounds that I can remember right now that he can make are: "Woody Woodpecker" sounds Harmonica sounds Castenets sound Plays Drums in reverse (seen on other Live Fan Videos) Bass Sounds Etc! To me it's clearly a Win for Adam but remember what I said above hard to compare them!
check Home Free "man of constant sorrow" Adam does a harmonica . also check out "elvira" you'll hear some of his best drums plus, it is a fun song they do it with the oak ridge boys
@@Versifyer Brother you gotta check out their version of "helplessly hoping" one of few where all five of them do vocals the harmonies are crazy good I promise you.!! Absolutely zero beatboxing.
Thoes light up stair were at the concert I attended and I hated them. They really detracted from the show making it hard to see would have rather they had nothing at all just them would have been great.
People say that fans don´t love the beatboxers but believe me , the fries LOVE ADAM
Who doesn't love beatboxers? Lol
Adam Rupp is almost irreplaceable.

Adam adds so much to the background of the Home Free songs, whether it’s drums, castanets, bass, or crazy sounds. He’s crazy good.
"Harmonica"
Adam was also two time world champion beatboxer in his day.
Believe it or not, Adam is self-taught. In one of the behind the scenes videos on Home Free's channel, we go into his house and he shows us the first book he used to learn basic beatboxing.

Listen to Home Free's Sea Shanty.....Adam kills it!!! Catinetts
Adam has now added castanets to his repertoire.
That would be caste-nots.

He does a heart beat before Rob comes back in bless the broken road , and the engine drone before the sing.

Rahzel is like big daddy beatboxer lol.
Adam Rupp has won two world championships.He’s Better Homefry
They were not world championships but National Championships here in the US. One was in Chicago but I forget where the other one was.
It was Chance that did the didgeridoo in Man of Constant Sorrow.
Chance was actually doing a mouth harp (also called a Jew's harp & jaw harp) not a didgeridoo. The mouth harp is very common in old Southern or Bluegrass music such as the song Man of Constant Sorrow.
Was going to point out that it was the sound of a Jew's Harp (aka Mouth Harp), but it's already been said :)
Adam is very loved by the Home Fries 🍟👏🏼His talents are so phenomenal and he can sing well too

Back that up! Fans love Adam!😍😍😍
Adam Rupp is one hell of a performer
Adam impresses me with the energy and musicianship he brings to Home Free. He pushes them to another level. And is consistent for a 90 minute show, the numerous shows they do per year, and over two decades.
He also does a Harmonica his fans call his nomonica.
Adam Rupp is probably the number one beatboxer in my opinion..he's absolutely amazing very talented young man.. love you Adam
I M A ceripr fery (old)_and I still say Adam ias the besrt
Can any of the others also do a (non) harmonica?
Adam is the very best! Bar none

Sounds that I can remember right now that he can make are:
"Woody Woodpecker" sounds
Harmonica sounds
Castenets sound
Plays Drums in reverse (seen on other Live Fan Videos)
Bass Sounds
Etc!
To me it's clearly a Win for Adam but remember what I said above hard to compare them!
Adam Rupp is #1 all the way.
he actually made an earlier one which i think his drums are better, just sayin
I've seen several now. I went for the newest one blind honestly.
Adam is he very best
I've never seen Adam Rupp freestyle. Everything he does is a rehearsed routine.
Micheal Winslow....Police Academy.
DLow from GB is the G.O.A.T where ya been folks..
Adam Rupp is the best!
l wanna see adam rupp do this as a battle with michael winslow
WATCH 'WORKIN FOR A LIVIN' HE DOES A SICK NOMONICA
