I rank this among my two favourite movies, Alien and WTAF are we all going to do about mask wearing covid mind melted invasions of the whatever cluster fuck we all used to be once upon a time. As now its more robotic with less flow than David, not just elsewhere, but everywhere, and now, finally as a long term conspiracist, as a long term tin hatted shieled nutter, as a medical scientist, and much more...I fianlly see why BEATSREET BREAKDOWN made so much sense back then, AND STILL DOES NOW, not NWO and that is why so much of modern rap was to myself utter gargage sorry. It was CORPORATE CRAP.

Just....the whole thing is just perfect! The way he looks so normal and even inexperienced when he comes up and starts before straight KILLING it and amazing EVERYONE in the room. The robot man, the strobe effect, the rubbery meltiness of his every movement. Everything.

This still one of the most GOAT performances I've ever seen. I remember first time seeing this and just mesmerized...I never saw someone move like that. Truly unique...I dare to say one of one...its a gift and I'm glad its captured forever on film. Hope it inspires those next lil seeds ready to pop.

I remember being 13 and seeing this. I couldnt believe what i was watching. I had seen liquid dancing but David Elsewhere took it to a completely different universe.

Still mesmerizing damn near 20 years later.

I've watched this 100x and it get's me every single time! One of my favorites!!!

Elsewhere to the next guy: "I warmed them up for you."

After 13 years still sick to watch

i've unconsciously incorporated this guys nod at the end of his bit, when he looks over at the announcer and shrugs away. genius.

I read this video has more than 200 million views between eBaum's world, KZread and several other sites that hosted it. I believe it! It NEVER gets old!

My favorite part is when the audience realize that he's the real deal and freak out over his intense and amazing talent.

First time ever seeing this. It's amazing.

The crowd melts as he does...

ahh. pre-youtube days. good times

I’ve been a part of the dance music community for decades now. I can tell you I can’t think of many of my friends who didn’t steal a move or three from this video. Classic forever

A million years ago I watched this at University, not long after it was released. A welcome revisit, nearly 20 years later. Blows my mind.
