- Speaking of musical talent,
good singers and musicians always impress me,
all right, but, you know what also blows me away?
It's the things I can't do.
And we have a talented beatboxer, alright?
It's a skill, it's a skill that I don't have,
but I can definitely appreciate and I try
and do it when no one's around.
(Laughter)
- (giggles) Or I'm drunk.
And when you're drunk, you think everything's great.
There's a beatboxer blowing up on social media
right now.
He's so good, Will Smith has become a fan.
Take a look at the video that started it all.
(beat boxing)
- I'm Spongebob.
(beat boxing)
- Hi, Patrick.
(beat boxing)
- Hey, Spongebob. (beatboxing)
- That's crazy, right?
I, okay. Well, that beat boxer's name is Verbal Ace,
and he's here today.
Ya'll, stand up. (whooping)(clapping)
[Kelly] Ya'll give it up for Verbal Ace.
(clapping)
[Kelly] I need..
- First of all, first of all, I have a question.
Like, as a vocalist.
Does that hurt?
Verbal Ace - It used to. (laughter)
[Kelly] Oh, you just trained it, for that. I'm like
all like, breathing in and out. WHOO!
That's gotta be rough on the chords.
- Yeah, that's the first thing I actually had to learn
how to do is breathe, beacause I used to just do
it until I'd run out of breath.
Like (beatboxing) ugh.
- My God, even that was cool, and that was
probably so simple for you, but I'm blown away.
Oh my gosh, okay, so you got to beatbox with Will Smith.
[Kelly] Like, how did that happen?
[Verbal Ace] Uh, it all started when I was a kid.
I would try to make sounds, the same sounds I hear
in video games.
You know, play video game (beatboxing) boom.
Game over,[Kelly] Oh my gosh. -And um, put stuff out on
social media, um, I have like over 250M views throughout
my whole social media. (clapping)
[Kelly] What?
- And this all started with Will Smith's post, the one
at the airport clip on his social media, and then
he posted another video the same day saying he was obsessed.
And um, I actually had the opportunity to surprise him
on a tv show in London, and um,
I didn't think he was going to be there, cause it's
Will Smith, come on.
When I finally walked out onstage, and I beatboxed
he screamed when he saw me. And um, I had to, I had to
stay, I had to keep preforming cause it's the first
time I'd met him in person. So, in my head, I was still
doing the [Kelly] You're freaking out.
- But you know, on camera, I was like hey what's up.
- You're like, its no big deal. You're will smith,
it's fine. Its fine.
[Verbal Ace] Yeah, and it all felt like a dream come true
like, I still couldn't believe it happened.
[Kelly] That's so amazing, man.
(clapping)
- That's so cool. Well, if it's good enough for the
Fresh Prince, let's see what you got. Go ahead.
(beatboxing)
(laughter)
(clapping)
[Kelly] (sings)
(clapping) (laughter)
- I just, I just, Verbal Ace, I just gave away my secret.
Any time I get lost in a song, I do the Envogue (sings)
- Like I know I am, but that sounds good.
You're awesome man, you're fantastic.
