Codfish GBC2026 Showcase
I am probably gonna get a lot of hate and pushback for this…
If you listen to his showcase from a technical standpoint, his structure was sloppy and I feel experimental. The issues I saw were inconsistencies in some of the drums, timing issues, and sound slips. And although not necessarily a “bad” thing, he sounded unprepared. In part 2, he was building a lot of suspense with a bunch of half routines thrown together and it gave off the impression that he was trying to see what the crowd would respond to.
He is very established at this point of beatbox, clearly. I just noticed that this was the first performance of his I’ve seen noticeable issues with. Sure it’s just a showcase and he wasn’t battling but I felt it was just sloppy. Apart from that, it was super enjoyable and fun to listen to.
I’m pointing this out because he’s supposed to have a showcase and a fantasy battle in GBB. I really hope he prepares a bit better to make his performance top notch.
I’ve only noticed these critiques in these 2 specific videos. It kind of reminded of Reeps One in the Spacetime Legends battles. Not “bad” just experimental in the structure. Back in the day Sxin & Chezame reacted to a few of those battles and described Reeps to have routines that weren’t satisfying.
I’m prepared for the hate, just wanted to express and maybe even respectfully debate to hear other perspectives.
