Was that improvised on Bobby McFerrins part? Audio candy eitherway though.

Here's a replacement, but it's audio only: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=by6PgJ8SqoE

Great! I like this version better than the one with Bobby McFerrin. It feels more pure, somehow.

Hey Ornthoron,

Thanks for the heads up! One of those videos is supposed to be JUST Richard Bona playing and singing but it looks like it was fixed with a different video than the original. It also happens to be the same video I posted earlier. I can see how that would happen when someone else fixed it since Richard Bona is in the other one too... Damn. Now I need to find a good video for that one, and if I recall it's going to be hard.

MINK:

My description does explicitly not say that there was no beatboxing before '93 either. And yes, there are a lot of talented people out there, and there is also better beatboxing out there than this. But regardless of how he came by it, be it talent or child abuse, and despite all the other talents, among them McFerrin, this video is about Michael Jackson, and he was pretty damn good in his time. This video is a witness to that, and that's why I posted it. Not to claim Michael Jackson as the godfather of all beatboxing.

^exactly.
arrrgrggrhhgsghshgshgsghsfhgsdfhgsdkjfdshjlgdlkjfgdlzsjnfgsljihf

fucking retarded description.

about 5,000,000 kids can beatbox better than that anyway. heck, i can beatbox better than that myself.

and michael jackson is about 5% as talented as Bobby McFerrin.

and michael stole his shit from the street without giving credit for it.

but yes he has my sympathy because of the child abuse.

but... part of the child abuse was forcing him to practice being a performer 28 hours a day, and beating him if he fucked up, so it's not so surprising that he is "talented". You could use the word "trained" instead.
