This was incredibly kind of you to make. Throughout our "tv made" rivalry, You have undoubtably been instrumental in my growth. Your words here resonate with all the memories I have of our encounters. I'm so grateful for your honesty, and maturity in your assessment of every moment. I, although deeply rooted in freestyle, have always felt the disappointment from the freestyle community, because I have not pursued battling. I felt this same resistance from the choreography community to accept me as one of their own as well, because I was "different" in my approach to choreography. It has been a long, often lonely, journey of constant re-discovery, but I'm so grateful that I never surrendered, because the fruits of that alienation are now just starting to ripen. It's never too late to get this Collab going! Pick a day in LA and let's make it happen!

No I love your freestyle because its authentic. I'm doing my best to learn to pop and I am really stuck in freestyle too. But you know we gotta hear the music and it speaks to us and we have an obligation to listen and feel it our way.

I could maybe see the freestyle/battle community feeling some type of way, but I never would've thought the choreo community thought anything (negative) of your work. That's crazy. You think "different" and innovative would be applauded. Even if it isn't someone's "cup of tea", you can still appreciate something unique ESPECIALLY when it's produced through this much skill. I mean, you even have a signature style, which is refreshing in a sea of a lot of people trying to one up each other with the same moves. Just glad you weathered the storm. Kudos, good sir!

pacman With the advent of social media and “reality” tv, so many talented and popular people let themselves get sucked into immature nonsense; we get enough decisiveness from our current political administration. Thank you for setting a wonderful example as a role model not just with your superhuman talent but with your gracious personality. You and Robert have just made a fan for life. I will be watching you guys when you are still poppin in your 90s!

Dancing is still my career now because of both you guys!

I remember watching the battle with my friends during my freshman year in high school and we were so pumped at seeing you two battle it out. Thank you for sharing that story about ego as a young guy and the reflection looking back all those years ago. It’s cool to finally hear the behind the scenes, and thanks for being a part of mine and my friends childhood🤙🏼

Its never too late to reach out to him ;) would be cool to see what you two come up with now!

I had just got into dancing when you guys started out. I saw videos of Salah, then I caught clips of you guys on SYTYCD, then I found Poppin John, and kept running the clip of David Elsewhere over and over, and then even Americas Best Dance Crew started. I suddenly found dance everywhere I fell in love with it. you guys were definitely my inspirations. I've never taken it anywhere but I've always enjoyed dancing for myself. When I'm cooking, in the car, when I'm working out. Everywhere and anywhere is place to dance and I still do. Great upload. Thanks for sharing.

I noticed pacman gets some hate sometimes because he doesn't battle he was a choreo guy, but same with me. I like how pacman is being himself without putting any limits to his style or staying within a boundary. My style is inspired a lot by phillip chbeeb

As a non-expert, one of the things about pacman that really stood out to me even back in the day was his story-telling. His technique was obviously jaw-dropping on first sight, but I always appreciated the effort he put into the artistry of his routines.

I love both of you, but I think you have it Robert! Amazing.

Yea not gonna lie, that same season, u were the reason I started dancing. But then philip was hot too, and started to look at him, and when the battle was happening between you too, it was the best part of all season for me. I follow phillip too and has seen every video out of him. I do wish he was doing more freestyle battles but his choreograph videos are unlike anything I've every seen, almost like starting a new genre of dance. On that note, I think you should hit him up again and see if he's willing to collab with you still. To see the 2 most recognizable dancers on SYTYCD actually dance together. Not only will it clear the air with fans that are still on the "rivalry" but will be an awesome nostalgia - current satisfaction for everyone else. Honestly it would be amazing to see you both dancing together in one video. Just my thoughts. Looks foward to your next video man!

Gotta admit im finally glad to get closure on this I can remember way back when I first saw you guys duke it out but I agree you guys had such different formulas in dance but that made battles of the two of you seem on a grander scope then the normal popping battle, like man it would be similar to like flattop going against elsewhere to me lol I followed you both for years still and you both have found success in doing the things you loved and spread dance to wider audiences as well as entertaining the mass man much love to both of you @w@ and that collab would be sick as heck ^w^ here's to the future for both of you @w@

I was blown away epicly by the last piece, in fact I intend to watch it several times. It actually brought me to tears. I personally had no problem seeing the ego you claim, "We" may have missed.. Lol, but you were a child at that time, so it was to be expected. Your going to come across an opportunity to teach another very young, foolish, cocky kid. The funny thing is that it will be like de ja vu .

Robert! This is an amazing video! You are truly a humble person. If you do a collab video with Philip, please do a dance with a deep meaning!!! I've watched his dances like September to Never, and Otherside, and these dances have changed my life, especially with overcoming a past addiction and staying free. I think the ability you have Robert is God-given (like Pacman's), it is truly, and when we use that talent to transform this world and transform people's lives, there is no limit to the good that results. Both of you spearheaded my dancing career too. Sending lots of love to you both!!! Thank you both!! @philipchbeeb #pacman

I respect PC as a person, and and artists, but I was all about the popping. So by default it was the teamMuraine for me myself and I.
