So just for a little context. I ordered these in chronological order from who played it first to last. Southern is the only band where the mic wasnt on the field, but was in the end zone so there's some reverb because of the sound bouncing off the wall directly behind it. Thank yall for watching! Like, subscribe, share and enjoy!

Su has the most powerful version, jsu has the best arrangement, Pv sounds just like the song, idk wtf txsu was doing. Overall, i like jsu’s the most.

DA BOOM knows how to get a crowd hype as hell! They always pull off hype songs better than any other band! 💯

I was scratching my head since TxSU started singing in one key and then played it in another.

1st off thanks Kev for making this video....Each arrangement was different but they brought that 🔥🔥 well....idk to much about the Ocean on this one, but if I had to make a decision 1. Jsu - that arrangement was out of this world 🔥🔥🔥🔥 2. PV - they stuck to the original version of the song and brought that smokey smoke, smoke. 3. SU - that in your face aggressiveness is what made me say "SHAT" that's the SU I remember, but I feel the arrangement could've been way better. 4. TxSu - left me scratching my head a little, that could've been way better also

Listen to JSU with headphones.... Them tubas humping🔥🔥🔥

All of em riding!! JSU’s put me in that zone!! Least favorite was Txsu, didn’t sound to sure of themselves

JSU!!!!! hearing that live in Montgomery was EPIC🔥🔥🔥

I like PV.... not from a musical/analytical perspective, but just generally keeping the hype of the original song. Drums, chants, etc. With this song in particular, you can keep all the extra embellished countermelodies, staggered breaks, and moving parts, lol. A lot like with SU and IDGAF... nothing fancy, just raw hype.

Jackson State - 1) Powerful, 2) Clean sound, 3) Chords are strong, 4) Trombone are on it, 5) Tubas are giving major bottom

Honestly, none of these were bad at all. But to rank: 1. JSU - Shit just makes you wanna put it on repeat. also, JSU tubas take a lot of their songs to the next level 2. PV - loud af and jammin 3. SU - monstrously loud.... but it sounds less like the song 4. TxSU - shit is solid but not messin' with the ones above Hats off to all the bands, tho.

Can’t nobody compete with JSU when it comes to Rap Tunes.. JSU with the dub 🔥

I like JSU arrangement it’s full of energy

1. JSU 2. Southern (close second) 3. PV 1,000,099.... TXSU

I listened on a stereo and man. JSU for it's hypeness and arrangement SU for straight power and musicianship. 💙💛💙💛💙💛

PV got some bass drummers from hell bringing that fire 🔥

Something about PV's version, the mellophone part does it for me. JSU tuba part I like, and the intensity. I don't like the voicing of SU's but its bringing serious power. TSU..."meh"

The best thing bout JSU arrangement is the tbone break

JSU got that swag to it!! Get you crunk

PV is the best simply because they kept the integrity of the song...rocked it raw and hard...no additives 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

If we’re talking about pure excitement of the arrangement and crowd reaction...(#1) JSU...if we’re talking about which is closest to the song...(#1) PV...It’s all about preference with those two arrangements on who gets the #1 spot. I feel PV’s arrangement portrays the darkness and intensity of the actual song.

PVAMU has the best arrangement to me💜 JACKSON STATE is one of my favorites also with that power, arrangement, and key!🐯💙

I heard them all and 1st. JSU: it's a THUMPER period!. 2nd: SU VERSION IS AGGRESSIVELY MUSICAL!! THEM DAHMMMMMM TRUMPETS JUST SCREAMING LAWWWD! AND THAT TUBA PART! & ARRANGEMENT IS TIGHT. #REALCLOSE2nd! 3RD: PVU IT'S NICE AND ROLLIN WELL PUT TOGETHER. 4TH: TSU OCEAN WTF!

Not a Jsu fan but they clearly had the best version. Second it's a tie Su/Pv Third txsu

First JSU then SU

my opinion from best to worst JSU - had me dancing 😛 SU - had me shookkkkkk 😍 PV - I was like “okayyy PV” 😭 TxSU - idk wtf they had going tbh 😂😂

JSU got the W with this one, PV close second

I've been a proud band head since I picked up a horn in the early 90s. I love where technology has taken us to where we can witness and enjoy this type of stuff even if we're not able to physically be there. I appreciate it all. I was at the swac championship game and saw kellakev on the field. I started to dap ya up brother to let you know you're truly appreciated. U put HBCU bands in a positive light consistently and that's awesome.

jsuuuu🔥🔥

Dem boys off JR LYNCH STREET!! (JSU)!!

JSU hands down. Made ASU respond with Jamaican funk cause they was so shook. 🤣🤣🤣

I’m a Southern fan all day but PV was lit!

If it’s a dark song just know JSU will kill it. That simple 🤷🏾‍♂️‼️

That SU sound and presentation! They killed this!

Can we please recognize that nasty run su tubas played in that tuba break!!!??? Damn!!!

Like I've said before JSU will crank a song get the crowd hype including the other team fans and tell them to go home in their own town. Now tell me Who's Bad🕴 #swing'em.....

JSU best version without a doubt🔥🔥🔥🔥

Jackson & PV PERIOD !

JSU SU PV TSU idk about y'all but WT and dawg team make the the song

JSU for the best arrangement but SU is a very close second

After Prairie View I didn't need to hear the rest. Pure smoke.

At least we all can agree TSU is last

Jsu🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Pvamu 🔥🔥SU 🔥🔥(toss up) TxSU 💩

SU JSU PV Txsu Hands down Southern won they were the cleanest, powerful, balance, straight heat and by far the best trumpets. JSU was really good but I didn't feel the power from them because of lack of trumpets if the boom head some trumpets I don't know who I would have picked. PV was just loud and all over the place. Texas Southern had the possibility to be good but it sound like they was missing something in the song.

BOOM no question.

JSU🔥🔥🔥 even though I’m a SU fan.

JSU AND SU.

Mane JSU won that like hands down stop playing with the Sonic Boom🙌🏾🤟

SOUTHERN’s is clearly written for upper range lol and I like it. Them damn trumpets ALWAYS deliver and cut🐆💙 TXSU have a weird arrangement to me. IDK if I like that one as much. They’re all good though!

Have to go with JSU on this one

JSU wasn’t sendin’ nothin but 🔥🔥 got this one hands down ‼️

MoBamba is all about the release of that aggression and anger. For that I easily give it to SU for capturing the spirit of the song. JSU second for musicianship and arrangement. But that SU had me kick a hole in my floorboard while driving

Die hard Southern Fan here.. but I actually liked PV. JSU had the best arrangement. I'm glad band heads (Im not) chimed in agreement about the arrangement. Great footage @Killa Kev!!

1.pvamu Becuase it sounds more like the song which is important it has very good blend and tone, and they played it first 2.j state got that power to make u curl your toe and a lot of extra spice 3. Su always has great musical taste, but there just was other arrangements that had a better preference of hearing, but execution was on point. 4.TXsu........👀 baby wyd might have scored better if it was a eupho fanfair 😂 since that’s most of the band sound anyway.

That Juke arrangement is the best and more powerful.

I love SU’s arrangement because it does the song’s justice, adds their own flair and there isn’t too much going on at the same time.

THE DOLLS THO!!!!!!!!!

Jackson state 😤

1. JSU 2. PV 3. SU 125. TXSU and whatever that dumpster juice they played.

JSU and SU my two favorites in this one

1. JSU 2. PV 3. SU 4. TxSU

PV opened that thang UP!!!!!! Whew!!!!

Southerns hornline has ridiculously tight articulation for college level. Not normally a fan of this style but gotta give credit to a hornline where it’s due

Jackson State #1 I like PV version too it's just not intense

All of em 🔥🔥🔥Except TXSU but i like PV the most tho

Jackson, Prairie View, Southern, Texas

This is a really dope video! Without being biased 1. SU 2.PV 3. JSU 4 TxSU

SU🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💯💯

SONIC BOOM OF THE SOUTH... BLOWING💨💨💨

SU🔥🔥 JSU PV TxSu

JSU first hands down then su with the close second

Jackson State.....The Jukes......PV.....

When you listen to all of them, but have to listen to THEE again so that'll be the last one you hear... #THEEILOVE

IF YOU ONLY KNEW WHY WE CAME TO THIS VIDEO IN THE FIRST PLACE... HISTORY IN THE MAKING GET READY! THIS WAS SO DOPE BY THE WAY.. WE WILL BE APART OF THIS SOON I CAN GUARANTEE THAT... SHOUTOUT TO EVERY BAND THAT EVEN PLAYED THIS ANYWHERE! #STAYFRESH #WEDOITFORTHEKIDS #FRESHSPORTSWEAR

Man txsu band director and whoever is writing their music need to be fired and not allowed to work again

Thanks KK for this! Great job!

Jsu with that funk.

But where Norfolk State at tho🤨🤨🤨 But 1. JSU, 2. PV, 3. SU , 4. TXSU needs hella work

I BEEN WAITING ON THIS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I know it's been said soooo many time, but PV cymbals 😂😂😂

JSU!!! Period!!!!🔥🙌🏽 Then I like PV, SU, and then TxSU.

Southern was easily first and TxSo was last, although they are coming hard. I think I would give JSU a narrow second place, mainly because they were cleaner than PV and their overall arrangement continued to ascend.

Of Course! 🙌🏾💙 #LuvDaBoom

There are no close seconds JSTATE but PV and Southern sound like What they represent.. Sorry 3rd Ward Big Band that cant be TSU

If only skeck wes knew these bands was playing his song

I can't even take TxSU serious right now😂😂 they really out here dancing and acting hype to that 💩

PvA&MU and Southern sounded the clearest and sound was well rounded

PV got the best version overall. It's strong, full and closest to the song. JSU got the hypest version. Su got the cleanest and loudest.

SU 💛💙✨

I like this series Kev!!

Texas southern I’m sorry take that arrangement back to the drawing board.....cuz SU version sliced everybody’s in half ......Especially when They had those Beltones in the middle of it 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ...

SU was the fullest and loudest. JSU was good but sound like they ran into some tempo issues. Least favorite was TxSu.

1.) The Boom 💥 2.) The Box 📦 Why do we waste our time comparing other bands to Jackson State??? and what song TXSU play 🤣🤣🤣

So I'm convinced that I must be listening with old school ears (c/o 01), I listened several times and I just don't see how JSU's version being better than SU's. SU has the tone quality, musicianship, and good Lord the power. Everyone had their strong points, but SU got it in my most humbled opinion.🤷🏿‍♂️

JSU won this battle nobody cant touch them #SonicBoomOfTheSouth

Burh I can tell a Mississippi band anywhere lol I love it!!

JSU ‼️

All played their own version and they all sound good, but the overall best Strength sound is of course SU! Although the mic wasn't on the band like the others.

SU-Trumpets!! Over all PV, JSU, &SU it’s a tie!! If I had to pick one I would say: SU WON by a hair cause JSU & PV came with it!! It’s not all about Baritones and Mellos! JSU got to keep that in mind!

Okkk....👌👌 Jukebox cranked on'em. BIG RAGGEDY in that Bih!
