The four elements

 

The last track on Rahzel's CD 'Make The Music 2000' is a track with his "If Your Mother Only Knew" routine. But it contains a hidden bonus track, which is a 'Man vs. Machine' which he and Kenny Muhammad (Human Orchestra) vs. turntablists DJ Skribble and DJ Slinky. The song is widely referred to by most beatboxers as The Four Elements.

The first element is Earth (performed by Rahzel), using basic beatboxing techniques with a dry 'taste,' in a fairly simple beat pattern.

The second element is Wind (performed by Kenny Muhammad), a complex and fast beat with words in it said in a very low voice. It has a stormy character. Wind is probably the most popular beatbox routine. It is a cover of the song "Nummern" ("Numbers") by the German group Kraftwerk.

The third element is Fire (performed by Rahzel). It is the only element containing sounds that were not produced by the human mouth. Fire is a cover of "Rock The Bells" by LL Cool J.

The fourth and last element is Water (performed by Kenny Muhammad). It is one of the most popular amongst beatboxers after the wind. The sounds are punchy and fast. Water is a cover of a tune called "Funky Drummer" by James Brown.
