wow, im a veteran dj, been at it since 95...and even IM impressed by that "my style is the best" routine....not just for technical difficulty but just for PURE SOUND. that shit sounded dope and thats what these battles should be judged for, the music and how it sounds comin out of the speakers....FUCK BODY TRICKS!
He should have been first is if Rukas wasnt in it. Spictakular can scratch very well with both hands. Rukas should have won. He did body trick while juggling. But he was n Cali. Cali ppl HATE New York Cats on the low. Not easy to do body tricks juggle @ the same time. Plus North East Coast Coast DJ's dance while they juggle..huh!!! OTHERS are stiff as shit when juggling. We all know who lm talking about.!!! Just look at vids and compare DJ's n look at their skin color!!!!! Yeah l said it!!
@ftnrbhmwk Come on. P-Trix owned that competition. It has nothing to do with skin colour. If you perform a routine of the complexity level indicative in P-Trix's routine, it really isn't feasible to perform body tricks. Playing the race card is just silly
@stillceaser I never seen an Asian or White DJ do body tricks while JUGGLING; not backspinning, JUGGLING. NEVER! Any body can juggle standing STIFF My point is NYC Dj's don't battle anymore. DMC is a Fraud. I been saying it for 11 yrs. I been postin it on YOUTUBE for 2 yrs. If you look @ DJ SCRATCH tribute to ROC RAIDA; he says after he won n 89, he got out to start producing; cuz battle dj's don't make money. He told Raida to get out early n make real money producing. YES RACE EFFECTS JUDGES!!
@ftnrbhmwk You've never seen a White or Asian DJ do body tricks while juggling? Try Roli Rho and Doe Boy from the fifth platoon, First Rate (formerly of the Scratch Perverts), Can I mention Craze? etc etc. In 1989 it was DJ Aladdin who won the DMC (in the US) not DJ Scratch. Body tricks have always been considered a 'gimmick' for the most part, they detract from the musicality and technicality of a routine. Race has never mattered, if you think so - you are paranoid. Battling isn't about money.
@stillceaser Craze in not white. He's from central America. Body tricks is never a gimmick; that came with battling in the 70's with Flash, Grand Wizard Theodore. Wow; u talking detraction "from the musicality and technicality of the routine"! That the problem with whites n asians, they want 2 claim shit, rewrite shit, n tell others what how it should b done.. 1st of all, ur not mixing on the dance floor, so it doesn't have to b clean, no body is going to dance to it.
@stillceaser Getting back 2 claiming shit that's not ur's like Asians n Whites do. Like killing MILLIONS of Native American's n calling this country urs. I mean Slaughtering! Then u remap Africa, South America; use paper money as currency. So n Africans cant trade anymore. 3rd world country,poor as dirt. Has 2 KILL RHINO'S N ELEPHANTS 2 feed his family 4 a yr. Cuz some small dick Asian wants 2 KEEP HIS DICK HARD N GROW HIS DICK BIGGER, 4 SOME ANCIENT BELIEF. Indirectly KILLIN R AFRICAN ANIMALS!!
@ftnrbhmwk You certainly have a skewed perspective, not to mention an inherently racist and bigoted one. I'll stick with the turntablism, because you are way out of your depth regarding history and geopolitics. So, would you accept that turntablism has evolved since the days of Flash, Jazzy Jay, DST and so on? Would you accept that it is a pursuit all races' and persuasion can undertake? Would you prefer some 'closed shop' where only black DJs performing body tricks can lay claim? Dialectic?
@stillceaser NO I DON'T EXCEPT IT... U all ruined dj battles. Just like u ran break dancing in the whole. I might b a bigot, but not a Racist. I dont have the power 2 oppress ppl. Make laws n have certain ppl living on reservations.. Battling MAKES NO MONEY. i THOUGHT U HEARD ME!!! If u want to stay n ur basement 4 hours practicing, thats ur business. But party Dj's will make money, like Kid Capri, Dj kay slay for NBA ALL STAR GAME, ALBUM RELEASE PARTIES, AND NFL SUPER BOWL PARTIES. Geeeez!!!
@ftnrbhmwk Oh dear. It sounds like you are oppressing yourself. You are too young to have any sense of 'back in the day' so you can't really comment on the 'geist' of that time - suffice to say you have it very wrong. Turntablism and it's history (indeed Hip Hop) is not a adumbration of racial tension, rather I would posit that it had brought race together. If you really want to make strong critique, I would say it has (like many other things) been subsumed by class and money, but not race.
@stillceaser Keep believing the crap ur saying to me. I don't; n deep down, u don't either. I don't have to b their, back n the day I never seen a Native American. Oh that's right,. 85% r died! U think I'm going to feed into ur CHEAP REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY.I guess u believe n THE EASTER BUNNY, GHOSTS, DINOSAURS, N ALIENS; cuz I don't.!!! U should b EMBARRASS n ASHAME for KILLING ALMOST TO AN INSTINCTION AN INTIRE RACE!!!!!
@ftnrbhmwk Again, oh dear. When I said back in the day, I was referring to Hip Hop in the 70s and 80s. incidently, why do you have this preoccupation with Native Americans? Moreover, why do you think I killed them all? What on earth leads you to believe that I believe in the easter bunny and ghosts and such? Dinosaurs I don't have to believe in, their existence is a fact. As you are preoccupied with genocide on the part of the imperial 'white', can you explain Rwanda?
@stillceaser My statement was 3 months ago; n on the first page for a long time. It wasnt a reply either, just posted. talkin bout prejudice judges n white DJ's who dont come close to BLACK battle DJ's. Which come down 2 WHITEY N ASIANS stealin,killing, land, claimin things! . U just want me 2 stop talkin bout it; cuz TRUTH HURTS. U believe n instinct DINOSAURS? WOW! O, n U didnt kill all NATIVE AMERICANS, just 85% of them. EXPLAIN THE NATIVE AMERICAN KILLINGS? Dinosaurs! WHITEYS MONEY LIES!!!!
@ftnrbhmwk I give up. You're clearly a very ignorant and obtuse boy, with little knowledge of anything, yet lots to say on it. You have an awful attitude, cannot engage reasonably, and play a race card that doesn't exist. It's funny how when I present you with a charge, you deviate from it and can't answer it. You are very shallow and very weak. You clearly don't know much about American history either.
@stillceaser HAHAHA.. U deviate from ?'s too. Like y ur ppl killed n stole from Natives Americans? N mixtape n party DJ's make more money the Battle Dj's. That's y Battle Dj's r not RELEVANT!!! BECAUSE whitey commercialize it; n ran it n the whole. That's y NEW YORK CITY DJ'S know better. They move on to bigger n better opportunities!!! when l come with fact 2 u like that, u couldnt answer. I dont get mad though. ur problem is, ur from CALI n ur man P-TRIX is from CALI. SO UR A NYC HATTER!!!
@ftnrbhmwk You are making a bit of a straw man out of the whole affair. Just enjoy Spiktakulars set, and if you are dissatisfied with the status quo in America (as many, including myself are), then do something constructive and useful about it. Try not to embarrass yourself by making anachronistic analogies of imperial race struggles. It doesn't do the debate any justice, nor service.
@ftnrbhmwk Cali people still haven't got over aladdin getting robbed at the '89 NMS battle. Oh, and a lot of them thought Joe Cooley was robbed at the '87 battle too. As for Cali Rappers, well you know they were constantly overlooked by New York, back in the day.
@funkateer17 have u seen aladdin, alcoholic, crackhead, n did a bid... Look at the reunion vid. As for Joe Cooley.. Everybody know the Philly kats were beating NYC n Cali dj's in the 80's Jazzy Jeff, Dj CASH MONEY; probably the 1st unofficial beat juggler.. They (PHILLY DJ'S) started putting the turntables vertical. N the media LIED; n said NWA started gangster rap...NOT!!! Philly's Schoolly d, who own his label, n had total control, n the early 80's. Then u had JUST- ICE NYC RAPPER
