    beat-boxing "lame?" a "gimmick?"

    Okay, it's perfectly reasonable to not like a style of music or a musical technique. But to suggest that beat-boxing is a "gimmick" is to ignore the craft and artistry (not to mention the hard work) that goes into the best beat-boxing has to offer.

    If you don't like beat-boxing (I'm not even a huge fan of it, myself), you probably still won't after seeing these videos. But hopefully, you'll respect it enough not to dismiss it so casually.
