This is pure raw hiphop. I grew up in NY when Hip Hop was everywhere was amazing the Graffiti, the Break dancing, scratching and Mc's I am blessed to have seen and been a part of that.
For real. I saw him dj at my favourite club a few years ago and I can tell you he's still legendary! The club was bouncing like I'd never seen before. He really knows how to move people 💙
@@sjsiemka yes it is. There are some full manual technics tables not intendes for dj but with some mods they can perform similar to a regular 1200. In this case sl1800 mk2 is a 1200 with floating chassis and rotary pitch...
Do you remember Buda aka Deadly Buda or his friend Serg? PA guys. Those guys were from my neighborhood. They were a big influence on me artistically and musically.
I grew up in the bronx myself. Grand Concourse/Tremont Ave. I remember sitting on cars hanging out, doing the basic break beat on a cars hood, yelling moms name from outside telling her to "send down the bag!" Good times for real.
This is the edited re release. In the original, after the first break mix, he cuts up "Take me to the Mardi Gras" by Bob James. I never understood or found out why they changed it as the original was excellent. Probably a copyright issue. I still got the original on vid from `83, will try n dig it out and upload it.
Que bonitos recuerdos con esta canción me acuerdo cuando aldaba en la rosario aquí en Chihuahua cuando todavía no paimentaban nada de calles y nos revolcabamos en la tierra bailando que recuerdos hay.....😘😘😘😘
Me too!!! Copyrighted BS.Nobody would even know Mardi Gras if it wasn't for hip hop.We widened the audience for you( Bob James) to get any recognition.
Real history in this movie nothing has left a dent like rock steady and big dj's like flash nothing can come close because it was from the streets in every aspect.
What he is doing right here takes so much skill and talent it's like playing an instrument. Now It is made so much easier with the pioneer tdk-1000's and a laptop, etc.... MAd props and mad respect to fab five freddy and grand master flash!
i agree and i still keep it real.you cant beat the oldschool way where back in the day we use to plug up to the street lamp in the park to get our electricity and jam until 6am.boy those were the days where your speaker stack was so high you needed a ladder to set up and you had so much bass that your pants would shake from a good distance.
and all this stuff was goin down while my parents were stuck in the soviet union without ever knowing how things are out there... so weird to think about it
I remember back in 84 I think, when he and the other members of the rocksteady crew (the ones he recorded with anyway), did a tour of australia. I was too young to go anywhere they appeared live but remember seeing them on tv.
I idolized this man growing up. His ability to keep a steady beat was unmatched by any DJ. And, I don't recall him making any mistakes when scratching.
the same way us old school dj's do it today. its just that when the technics 12oo's came out they allowed you to lock in the pitch.the tables shown were belt driven and after awhile you had to replace the belt because it would stretch and your pitch would be thrown off. it didnt stop you from playing it just made it more of a challange because now you had to push your vinyl to catch up while you mixed. i hope i helped. S.O.S PRODUCTIONS= strickly old school later
"wildstyle" was my intro into seein a Dj perform live (in the kitchen even!).."streetsounds" was my first taste of track-mixing (electro vol. & crucial compilations)..."GMF on the wheels of steel" was the original step into creating the DMCs...Jazzy jeff was my 1st fav scratcher,next to joe cooley & magic mike...this guy is "king of the cuts on 2 turntables" !!
back to 82-83...from Wildstyle, lived it and always forever proud to be BBoy OG. used to go to the east river by 23rd street before it got gentrified and work m down to the lower eastside and used to see the left over of the same mural that LEE put up. this is sad to see what has happened to NYC
How did it go from this? Creating music, rap battles, break dancing and art, unity …to mumbling, auto tune, glorifying gun violence, jail, and giving ppl with no talent a platform?? Half these young guys don’t even know what this is and that alone is a crime. That’s like being in a rock band and disrespecting the Beatles. GMF & The FF, Slick Rick, Kurtis Blow, Cool G Rap, Herc, Run DMC…I don’t know why current Hip Hop doesn’t respect it’s roots. I know more guys that play guitar like myself and come from a NY Hardcore Punk and Metal background that will say all those I just mentioned are influential and put NYC on the map in terms of modern music and giving it a culture. Yet some clown that claims to be a rapper is mumbling his ass off, waving guns and gang signs in his video doesn’t even know these guys who were legit TITANS among men and the creators of this thing…never get a name drop, no mention, no respect, no gratitude. This classic stuff, that’s Hip Hop, idk wtf this current shit is. Old School for life. “HIp Hop is for the people”- Melle Mel.
The last beat is by the group- PLEASURE ( " ❤BOUNCY LADY", " JOYOUS, SASSAFRAS GIRL, GLIDE.) Just a few of their songs. The original song in this scene was " Take me to the Mardi Gras" by Bob James. Unfortunately, it was removed due to copyright laws! So when you purchase this movie today, Pleasure"s beat is what youll hear
I'm not here because of The Get Down only, or even VH1's The Breaks. But when I heard Flash speak with such intelligence and heard this mix, & saw the style of how he was mixing on Netflix's Hip-Hop Evolution, I had to find this classic footage....
