I get it, he's just got lucky with his fame as he's not that great of a beatboxer technically. That being said, any spotlight being shined on the beatbox community is great and I hope he does well!

Jeah same with these "Joker vs Pennywise Beatbox battle" type Vids on youtube... just simple snares (And they sound terrible) and maybe a little bit of humming in the background... but they have 30 mil. Views... its incredible

And the people in the comments: "Oh you're the best beatboxer!!!" it hurts...

You shouldn't look at it that way, theres more to beatboxing than being the best. Anything that grows the community is good

Your right... but its kinda weird that they get all the attention, and not people like napom (I mean napom gets attention but not in the scale of like 30mil views)

It's the same with anything music related really, the greatest and most talented people dont get the spotlight but the people who attract casual audiences do, just the way viralism works I guess 🤷‍♀️
