It’s nice to see anything hip hop related here on mental_floss. Thank you very much. Maybe a feature on the etymology of hip hop slang next? That would be, um, fresh.

The best by far (and I’m supprised he didn’t make the cut) is Rhazel. He can actually sing and beat at the same time. Go to Youtube and find his song “If Your Mother Only Knew.” It’s absolutely amazing.

While living in London in 2006, a couple of friends and I managed to go to the Beatboxing World Championship. Amazing is an understatement. It was completely unforgettable, and so much fun! Hooray for this article!

I know neither of these are beatboxing, but still impressive none the less. Search for either of these on YouTube.

Alash Khem

Bobby McFerrin-Drive or Opportunity or anything with Chick Corea. Or anything at all for that matter.

Enjoy
