Young cats don't know bout block parties, barbecues, and family reunions. This is what we did when grandmas could sit and watch, no fighting, shooting and drugs(maybe little weed..lol). Miss them days.
Jazzy Jeff is the most skilled hip hop DJ from the old school...but Flash said, "number one can be taken away from you, but no one can take away being the first."
Jeff is a beast. Many have slept on him. I have opened up for kid capri back in 01 and have followed him since the 90s and the man is an incredible dj. He keeps the crowd with him all night long. Look at these wack as djs now...cdj??? Are u kidding me. These are what real dj's came from
Word man. I got into hip hop in the mid 80's. For me, these guys plus the likes of DJ Cheese, Cash Money, AJ Scratch, DJ Allah Supreme and others are heroes of the game, plus of course the still-missed Scott la Rock. Respect to all from here in the UK.
We all know the Grandmaster Flash is one of the originators, and Kid Capri is DOPE! But Jazzy Jeff is the baddest brother who ever touched the 1’s and 2’s
some people tend to forget that grandmaster flash perfected scratching (after it was brought up by grand wizard theodore) and beat juggling so even though his scratching is not as good as everyone else without his pioneering we wouldn't of have these styles. so respect the man!
flash was not beat juggling-stop confusing back spinning a.k.a lopping with beat juggling.Flash did master the art of back spinning but he wasnt beat juggling.
Part of being a great DJ is knowing the RIGHT record to play at the RIGHT time! Did you see how hype the crowd got when Capri played Dj Kool??? Exhibit A people!!
Grandmaster flash inspired me to start DJ ING. I use to go to music plus with my $20 dollars my mom gave to me to buy 12 in records. I would buy run dmc gmf and furious five sugar hill gang Kurt's blow records .I still go and find and buy records to this day
Black Spades & Young Spade’s aka: DJ Pioneers ♠️ Herc, Flash, Wizard, Caz from: Boogie Down DJ Class of: 74’ I was born and raised in Canarsie BK Kings County baby!!! and I can remember taking the L train 🚊 over to the island of Manny Hanny to visit my aunts and cousins to hit the B-Ball Park n Parties, The Rec Dances, and countless Summer Block Party Jams. It felt like there was one every weekend back then …..It was a blast. Crazy stupid DOPE wild. Blessed I love my unforgettable childhood. 70’s kid 80’s teen. 🤟🏽WE STRAIGHT ROCKED IT✌🏽 and still chillin in my b-boy stance. You Dig, Youngbucks. ✊🏽
Alright, so Flash is the originator, so you gotta love him, and Jazzy is a legend, and definetly one of the best (not forgetting Numark, Cut Chemist etc), and Capri is definetly a party DJ, cuz he interacts with the crowd, and gets em movin, but ya, probably not the best, but still really cool!
Dj Jazzy Jeff is PRECISE CUTTING and SCRATCHING!! RAZOR BLADE SHARP!!! Capri and Flash just know how to scratch. I mean look at the end.... who messed up??🤷🏾♂️
You guys needed to see flash in his prime when he was cutting with his feet and battling Theodore and Bam; however, if you want really sick modern Turntable exploits: GrandWizard Rasheen, Cash Money, and dj Flawless.
Grandmaster flash is the best. He started super quick scratching. On time! All the time. Moreover: He wrote the programs that DJ's use know and in the past.....that mimic Flashes style and lighting fast quickness.
ive been around for alittle bit on the ones and twos and even though the grand master has created some things back in the day.jazzy jeff can put both of them under a table.he just has a original style that i like and this is coming from another veteran dj of 36 yrs.
I’ve seen Kid Capri live he knows how to scratch and flip every single record without missing a beat! Jazzy Jeff and Grandmaster Flash are great legends but I am Team Kid Capri all the way 🎧💃🎶
the first time i listened to 'the vibe i'm on' mix by jazzy jeff i fell off my seat in da first 5min, was jumpimg up and hysterically for thext hour or so. the illest dj ever, turntable, samples, producing, cts and scratches the whole damn thing.
I once asked Grandmaster Flash, "what have you been doing all this 'time'?" ~ he seemed quite taken aback by my inquiry and cited 'Family convictions' and wee carried on...
Kid Capri... I can't believe that guy is a celebrity host for a DJ competition show. Jazzy Jeff is probably the most well known and technically tallented person to have ever held the title DJ.
I would get a heart attack and die if i showed up at a club standin in line and there is a flyer that sed on tonights DJ Menu we have, Starters - DJ Kid Capri Main Course - DJ Grand Master Flash For Desert - DJ JAZZY JEFF SHAYT!!
I remember when I first saw this as a kid on vh1. This showed me that a DJ could be a performer and not just someone playing other people's records. I had only known jazz from the fresh prince of Bel Air, and Kid capri from the intro of fat joes song, and grandmaster flash from the message. So this put them in another light.
Yo that was ill how Jeff Scratched that Flash line by Blondie,so now you young cats know how much respect he has for Flash he's probably Jeff's idol...
In the 80's there was too many Great dj's.. DJ hurricane "Beastie boys" dj kla Boss "EPMD" dj Joe cooley "Rodney o & joe Cooley dj Mr. Mixx "2 live crew" dj magic "the Bass that ate Miami" dj Magic Mike "Drop the Bass" and too many to list.. All of them were GREAT
@djskizmarkey If u know the history of these "pioneer" DJs,You would understand that "good times" is Flash signature & anthem song that he made famous by cutting & scratching it back in the day.Its his Anthem!..study & do your homework on the great legendary DJs & pioneers..
