Hands down the best crew from season 4. They really got robbed. Every time I watch them, I get butterflies, because I've seen a lot of dancers, but their choreo is so tight & clean.. Amazes me every time!
Rhythm City got robbed this season. Their choreo and attitude embodies what America's Best Dance Crew is all about, I personally think.
To this day, I still don't understand why Shane and Lil' Mama were underwhelmed by this. Alonzo said in the intro that they needed to shut the building down and that's exactly what they did.
I think RC is the real champ of ABDC Season 4. I mean, their choreo was always of the hook, they always had so much energy, they knew different styles of hiphop, their tricks were showstopping EVERY TIME. I mean, what more could the judges ask for? No hating on other crews, 'cause I do like WAH, but RC was the true champ, I'm telling you!
I definitely agree wit JC on this one... it was amazing!!! I don't know Wat else they could've done to make it better. On point all the way through. Love Rhythm City
Ever since this episode JC became my fav. judge. He was the only judge who knew wat he was saying
that line section killed the show.
the backflip over the the one guy killed the show.
the freeze at the end killed the show.
the poses at the beginning killed the show.
One of the best performances to date. Go rhythm city.
I LOVED this performance. Definitely one of ABDC all time best performances. They did Chris Brown great just. Ho Rhythm City.
THANK YOU JC! i thought i was the only one who thought they were perfect....
only reason they lost is because Shane Sparks' only agenda is furthering b-boys and breakdances popularity I love that quote "its not a trick show, but", but what I hate JC but he said it best this is a choreo show and THEIR CHOREOGRAPHY WAS TIIIIIIGGGHHHT!!!
Yeah, then Shane got his sorry ass fired and got replaced by a series of guest judges before they settled on the dude from Quest Crew
BEST group of season 4!!!!
After RC's elimination, they should've changed the name of the show. Southern Movement was another crew that was worthy of the top3, but sadly, had to go head to head with RC in the 3rd episode.
WAH is top 3 worthy but I would've put them either 2nd or 3rd. RC was by far the best that season. JC was the only judge whose head wasn't stuck up his ass when it came to judging this performance.
i dont care what anyone says after 6 seasons of abdc i still think rhythm city is the best and i will always like this proformance
How are people not understanding that it didn't matter who gave a better performance, if the producers want you gone...you're pretty much gone lol.
Best Performance Of Season 4 right here. By far.
this was a great performance
"i'm not saying this is a trick show, cuz it's not about that."
yeahh right. :/
Greatness
Rhythm City shoulda deff won the entire season..votes that season jus kept going to ppl fans liked not how well they can dance..everyone kept voting for AfroBorike all season..im not saying AfroBorike was bad but RC was deff the best crew there
I thought this show was called America's Best DANCE Crew. Rhythm City DANCED their ass off but didn't do enough tricks and were voted off. Bullshit.
I am here 12 years later to say they won.
Well if their choreography was tight and their moves were POWERFUL and they were clean....Why did they go home?
shut up fatty bom bom
how come the judges never said anything bout the starting?
I really think that was the best part
I love that my coast has won each time but I really thought Rhythm City could've won season 4, they were the only ones in the top 4 that weren't west coast
i think MTV put pressure on the judges to knock them out. because Shane an Lil mama both contradict themselves when they giving the feedback. they said they had a really good performance but weren't that good at the same time . . . how is that possible? you either smack it or you dont!
@MarioTheSupah she's also always telling the crews "they did their thing"
Replace Lil Mama please! She doesn't know what she means ever. First she's criticizing Rhythm City and then when JC shows what complete idiots she and Shane were she starts agreeing with everything he says.
THAT PEFORMANCE WAS FREAKIN SPECTACULAR! how the fuck did they get eliminated?
Shane said the same thing he said to breaksk8 when they got eliminated!!
And the Strikers All-Stars
Urkel Salone (Urkel Beatz) notice how all three crews were top 4...
I think everyone should have voted for RC instead of Afroboriké, RC is so much better then Afro! But well, nothing we can do about it. Gotta admit that after RC left, when WAH won, I thought it was justice, because after RC, my number two (on the list of ABDC season 4) was WAH =).
Eh, I can see why they got kicked off. Every other group brought so much energy and they were just kind of boring...meh. It wasn't even the lack of tricks, it was just the fact that they played it up like they were going to be showstoppers and they...weren't.
SO fucked up, this season, they should have won in my opinion
im so still SO pissed they didnt win.
@syver00 EXACTLY. JC even pointed out their mistake, but Mama an Shane couldn't get passed the whole "needs-to-be-bboy" kind of dancing mentality.
Side note: season 6 sucked. Those little kids drove me NUTS!!!!
Season 7 sucked ass! Collizion Crew should've moved on and be on the top 4 or 3
Urkel Salone (Urkel Beatz) their cap would be top 5. Rng deserved 4 Nd most wanted deserved 3
@@charmelocool well to me top 5 should've been like this
1.) Elektrolytes
2.) Collizion Crew
3.) Most Wanted Crew
4.) RNG
5.) 8Flavahz
@dlrico
My thoughts lol. Yes long post I know 😅.
First off, Season 6, wasnt a total loss. IAmMe won, so that was done right. I would have been shocked and dumbfounded if they didnt win. IAMME’s brain banging was sooo ill! ICB winning instead though, idk how i would have felt lol. Probably rage. Shoutout to ICB’s “Nick Mara” though in his band “PRETTYMUCH”, they are so underrated and got dope music.
Season 4****. Imo, Monkees and Afro should have left in the middle of the season or sometime ago. I think America or the Producers, maybe some of the judges, were hoping to see at most Monkees pull through and do justice for the ABDC books. They clearly flopped in the Top3 challenge and were picked to be saved over RC the week before which was this challenge. It sucks. RC was robbed for sure. But that VMA challenge week, all crews killed it. So that was hard to find out who stayed or got boot. I definitely dont understand why LM and Sparks were going hard on RC. Good for JC to call them out, and tell it like it is and what he saw. Cause I too saw different. RC performed, presented, had energy, was clean, and they shut it down.
I think most would have agreed if Rhythm City stayed instead of Massive Monkees, they would have done the top 3 challenge justice because RC was an illest crew, they were dope and killing it each week. WAH winning over Afro, I definitely am for it. Had BP been on this season, WAH wouldnt have won.
OTHER SEASONS...
Season 1, nuff said. They did it right haha.
Season 2, was anyones game for the most part. The mandatory bboy mentality that supposedly the show was going to be, I dont think conceptually they were trying to intentionally make that a thing. It’s when QC won S3, it felt like it would be. I will say top 2 should have had FP with SC instead of SoReal imo, because SoReal was slipping near the end. They didn’t bring it hard in the Top 3 Challenge. Let’s remember, SuperCr3w were underdogs, they had their moments where they could have loss in any of the weeks they were in the bottom. Time to time SoReal would bring it too, and they were killing it early on. Fanny Pak killed it in Top 3 in both the challenges they had, but better than So Real imo. Fanny Park was hella robbed.
Season 3: They did right. If Beat won, I wouldnt have mind. But QC deserved it. I still stand thinking Dynamic Edition should have been in the bottom in the Britney Challenge with Ringmasters. Team Millennia was robbed for their comeback that season and that britney challenge. DE and Ringmasters, one of them should have gone home early on. But for a long time crew, they have been since and post ABDC, Team Millennia has killed it and is still doing great in the dance comp world / dance comm.
Season 5: not gon’ lie, poreotics was good but I was also getting over them after awhile, and had thought they should have went home before. But they did the finale right with having them against Bluprint Cru Undeniably though, Poreotics were great too. They definitely did some wonderful things after the show. If BPC won, I wouldnt have mind because they slayed each week. Hype 5.0. In top 2 with BPC would have been interesting because they kept bring it each week too.
Season 7: done right imo. Elektrolytes were actually good. They were underdogs for sure and have auditioned for ABDC historically for the past 5-6 seasons before their season and kept being in the bottom at the times (like how SuperCr3w was in S2.) Post ABDC, Elektrolyres killing it in the dance world / dance comp realm right now and have been, like convention WOD, Collaboration Comp, and etc. 8Flavahz were dope too even being young and having two halves of its’ members from Cali and Hawaii, they were doing great each week, imo better than S6’s IC. MWC, devastated when they got booted. Many of MWC members were veterans from past ABDC crews in past seasons that didnt win, and yet again they didnt win. But MWC always brought it and killed it. RNG was hella ill too and i raged when they got the boot, they killed It every week. Their week 4 drake challenge was siiiick. They definitely deserved to have been top 4.
Season 8.... new judges had nothing on D-Trix, JC, Lil’ Mama, let alone Sparks. New host either on Mario. I think it should have had new different crews instead. Kinjaz being the only new one was a great addition. They were awesome.
NBC WOD < ABDC.
NBC WOD’s judging is just not good in comparison to old ABDC S1-S7 way of judging. It sunks just as much and next to ABDC S8: RTVMAs. We can’t even vote on that show. And results, votes, and boots on the first season of NBC WOD, just absolute unfortunate especially on familiar crews that appeared and competed. Never watched the show again after that.
WOD OG conventions competitions > NBC WOD, since WOD before NBC was and has been a competition since then.
All in all, Rhythm City was robbed for sure. I believed they could have won season 4 just as much as most of the people who watched the 4th Season, would have said too.
@@xxjersxx Let's address each point in order... lol
Season 6 was so bad that I don't even remember it... and I have one of those freaky memories that holds on to trivial details. I was SUPER happy that IAmMe won solely because I couldn't stand Iconic Boys; nor could I stand 8Flavahs from season 7. Those kids were put through on the votes of their family and friends. No doubt, for their age, they were great, but the level of competition and the difficulty that was being brought from other crews deserved to be towards the end and not voted out before them. I think even JC pointed out the difference in difficulty between IB and 8F and other crews. I didn't even like the music challenges they had in 6. Every artist for each challenge was an ear sore for me. I liked the format of having the crews choose their own songs and choreographing the challenge (like the Fitness Challenge or Magic Challenge from season 3). Aside from IAmMe, Iconic Boys, and Phunk Phenomenon I only recall the crew Instant Noodles because of their name... but I don't remember their challenges, routines, or anything. It was all very forgettable. In any event... a horrible season. Didn't care for it.
As for season 4... Rhythm City TOTALLY got robbed and it breaks my heart watching that VMA challenge where their choreography was so smooth, in sync, and powerful. Sure... Massive Monkeys brought out their tricks, but they messed up during their choreo. In my book... if it's hard to choose which one was better, the one with the most mistakes goes home. RC was FLAWLESS. Throughout the season, there were little things here and there that showed the season was struggling with the voting. You're right... Afro should've been eliminated early in that season. Massive Monkees progressed much like Poreotix did in season 5... they both had their style and it was getting a little old after the first few episodes, but they started to evolve and incorporate more versatility in balancing their strengths with more choreo or added difficulty to their routines. I still don't understand why Lil Mama was a judge on this show. She was useless and gave zero constructive feedback on things they did well, or things they did wrong... it was all about an entertainment factor for her.
Season 1 -- It was good all around. Though, ICONic were a really tight choreo squad and should've made it further in the competition, and Status Quo shouldn't have been in the finals. The finals should've been all Jabbawockeez and Kaba Modern.
Season 2 -- So Real Cru shouldn't have been in the finals. That definitely belonged to Fanny Pak and Super Crew. I also think Supreme Soul should've made top 3 over SRC. Supreme Soul was really hitting their stride towards the end, while SRC was on the decline after the "Bring the Music" challenge. Boogie Bots should've been eliminated, Supreme Soul moves up to beat So Real Cru during the "Missy Elliot" challenge, makes top 3... then it's a true battle for the top spot.
Season 3 -- perfect. Dynamic Edition was easily the cleanest group of ALL of them... it was just a matter of voters' tastes in dance style. Nobody cares much for clogging and it cost them to get bounced earlier than they should have. I would've had 3 spot go to either Strikers All-Stars or Dynamic Edition. Fly Khicks didn't deserve to be top 3.
Season 5 -- I think Poreotix deserved the win. It was definitely hard to choose between them and Blueprint Cru. Poreotix evolved through that season. They started becoming more versatile with their moves and it won me over. BPC slipped up in the Music Video challenge, but they were still an overall really precise crew. They stayed the same though. Their difficulty didn't rise and they didn't stray from their strengths like Poreotix did, and I think that caused their downfall.
Season 7 -- Like I said, 8Flavahz shouldn't have been in the top 3. I would've had Elektrolytes, MWC, and Fanny Pak in the top 3 and see who out-shines who... cause that would've been an awesome top 3 to watch. Other than them, I don't remember the other crews.
Season 8 -- I love Quest Crew. I knew they were going to win season 3 from their first performance and no other crew on that season came close to them (IMO). Season 8 though... belonged to Kinjaz. Holy shit, did Kinjaz bring everything to a halt with their performances. Tight, precise, clean, innovative, and emotionally driven (speaking about the last performance)... they were always on point. Even the slower "Earned It" by the Weeknd was SO good. I was a little upset Kinjaz got robbed on this one.
NBC World of Dance -- I stopped watching when Jabbawockeez, then Kinjaz, were eliminated in the first season. Then, finding out that the group that beat Jabbawockeez was lead by one of J.Lo's backup dancers. It was a travesty. There's no way either of them should've lost as soon as they did.
That season should've gone to the east. RC destroyed the other 3 crews.
Still sad to watch this and now I’m actually happy Charlemagne da God made Lil Mama cry.... And I actually love Lil Mama but she was totally wrong here
@conricks246 I like your comment. :)
@xoshleyfishy6 thank you!!!! everyone kept telling me afro borike was so great, but honestly did NOT like them at all....
Worst elimination in ABDC history along with MWC getting eliminated when they were in the bottom with Elektrolytes.
Dont forget about Live in Color....
Or Fanny Pak
dlrico definitely fanny pak! they did better than super cr3w!
Or Strikers All-Stars and Dynamic Edition
Urkel Salone (Urkel Beatz) but fly khicks did two of their best performance against them so they should’ve got that. Nd strikers messed up with costed them
how did we are heroes win the name dosent even make sense
I almost swore off watching this show ever again because they got eliminated. Not only that... but Massive Monkeys AND Rhythm City got put in the bottom 2; while Afrobourike and We Are Heroes made it to the finals. RIDICULOUS!!
Lil Mama: "... but I felt the music was more in your soul than in your bodies." WTF?!?!? Get her off the show already!! She NEVER has anything constructive to say to ANY crew. It's always "Come harder" or "I respect that". Get Shane back an lose her!!
i agree with @ohphoshizxemo
@sefsup05 true but basically its jc against shane and lil mama. 1 doesnt win against 2
@RDkun they shoulda won..they seriously got ROBBEDDD
@ABCDjjw NEVER!!! Lol. I agree that neither one should've been in the bottom when compared to We Are Heroes or Afrobourike... ... but Rhythm City, flat out, tore up this performance. Not to mention... ... J.C. pointed out how they messed up at the start of their routine. RC was flawless all season long while being creative and versatile with their choreo. MM kept to b-boying, which is fine... but it's not what most would define as a "true" champion.
im glad they got rid of shane he wuz rly tripping this season idk wtf he wuz talkin bout he jus kept sayin 2 everybody "gota b harder gota b harder" motha fucker they went hard an we r hero havnt gone hard AT ALL in this season lik that performance wit the fire WACK! rhytm def got robbed on sum real shit...
@ABCDjjw Super Crew over So Real was the exception and there was a HUGE out cry that Fanny Pak should've been the winner of that season. Thing was... Super Crew evolved over the course of the show. SRC, didn't. Yes, they stayed true to their b-boying... but they learned to apply other dance styles and theatrics into their choreo.
Quest Crew I never considered "b-boys". They threw in the acrobatics every now and again, but the main part of their routine was straight choreo.
afro shouldve never even made it past the second week. if afro was eliminated, RC wouldve won because VE wouldve been in the final 4, been in the bottom 2 with MM and wouldve made it past most likely. everyone would then want RC in the finale and they wouldve won.
Well Southern Movement should've been in top 4 with WAH, RC, and MM
massjv
@ohxphoshizxemo yea to bad they had their weakest performance the time they were in the bottom but the should have been top 2
screw we are heroes
i didnt like this one
I LOVED this performance. Definitely one of ABDC all time best performances. They did Chris Brown great just. Ho Rhythm City.
