It's Ice's first live event, and I assume he was probably overexcited and nervous after that incredible performance against androide. He still did amazing and im looking forward to him this year. That said River had known napom for years and battled him prior to that so i think its unfair to compare that to this battle, especially when it was far more light-hearted

for me personally i didnt like ice’s attitude more than river’s. ice constantly touching him after river expresses that he didnt like it, is 100% on ice’s fault for not respecting it. idc if people say its a battle, literally in the rules it says no touching. yes sometimes beatboxers touch each other but thats cuz they are friends so they let it slide. ice is new to these guys, so when he came so aggressive right from the bat, obviously river wont let it slide.

Definitely a heated battle haha, I had the same thoughts you had about the mic exchanges, the touching etc... But the battle was sick nonetheless

River W I'd say the originality and structure were both equal but River just killed him with that second round with tech and power.

Ice is 19 and he is representing Arabs for the first time in GBB. Comparing Ice to to Napom who is close to 30 and doesn't have the same chip on his shoulder is straight up narcissistic from River coupled with the fact that he considers not being looked in the eyes while handshaking in a beatbox battle "disrespectful". He comes off as full of himself but that being said, River won this battle definitely with his variety and I'm excited to see Abo Ice in GBB 24. GBB is middle-eastern mofos. 😜✌🏼
