Which poppers actually live up to their hype?

[deuceboogie]

Hey whats up everybody, im relatively new to the funk styles scene, and while browsing through the forums, i have caught a feel and it seems to me that mostly every big name i have heard of isn't as good as i have thought. Every big name popper has a problem, either with their originality, their technique, their attitude, etc.

So my question to you guys is, which popper is actually as good as their hype? For example, when i first started out, i admired and looked up to the EBs, and regarded them as some of the best, but on the forums, it seems like not alot of people have as much respect for them. Than, there are problems with Salah, J Smooth, etc., and other poppers who i look up to.

And everyday, it seems like the history of who invented what, what styles originated from where, is all anybody wants to talk about. So my other question to you guys would be, not bringing up the past, but which poppers NOW are advancing and making break throughs in the scene?
