I feel like I’m impressed by very little, and I was especially underwhelmed by the beginning of this video. It thought, “okay another dude trying to beatbox”… But then a friend of mine said “Skip to 4:20 and just hang in there!”
Once I realized she wasn’t making a joke about stoners, I did skip to 4:20 and hung in there (because it starts out super weird there) and YES, I was pretty impressed. He seems like he’s just making grunts and sounds, but it turns out he’s weaving a whole song together in tiny bits. Like making a puzzle.
Then I went back and listened to the whole thing again and was able to appreciate what this guy (whose name is Mike Love – but not the Mike Love from The Beach Boys) is able to do.
Pretty cool stuff!
