A-Trak Vs. Prime Cuts

[lovelady291]

Wow! I miss these days!! What a great feeling this gave me! Amazing! Turntables all the way baby

[covuE4]

Yeah both r great but prime got this one but A-track was original

[djandrewbeezwax]

damnnnnnnnnn

[aornela1]

Prime gets this one.........BUT..... A-trak is 10 times sicker than prime NOW....

[epromenator]

PRIME CUTZ IS A KILLER!!! A PERVERT KILLER!!!

[djfastt]

A-TRACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DJDeXTeRiTY]

Both are great....Prime Cuts gets the round!

[ThatsMrTimex2You]

One of the best head to heads in ITF history along with A-Trak's battle with Plus One next year.

[ninexx]

i've been watching a-trak since he started...sorry but prime killed him on this. Trak has gotten to techincal over the years....forgot that you gotta make it sound good too!

[bonghits420dome]

4:09 

[camberwellyob]

TWO ROUNDS TO THIS

[sileighty69]

prime cuts smashed a-trak hands down for me.

and yeah, the hijack intro is fucking hillarious.

[WhatssGolden]

prime cuts killed it the first part of his scratch, towards the end, shit was hella weak

[djDECEPTIONnsk]

thats me in the red hat!

[robfayder]

GREAT BATTLE OVER ALL!!! MAD SKILLZ FA SHO!!

[tishytishy123]

nice battle, mad skills!

this is AWESOME TOO

/watch?v=7CgGuiYty-U

[dragonballsg]

it sounded like a trak had his beats all over the mothafuckin place. Prime synced them together seamlessly

[Setsotama]

A-Trak got the battle idea, but Prime-Cuts got the daring side that could kick open some more doors

insanely great battle

[cholt202]

atrak on a bad day is better than any other turntablist on a good day....plus prime lost the crowd.

[banks1911]

ATraK beat the cowboy shit outa prime!!!

[rtadd]

At 1:34, somethings happens...

[DJ8O8]

A- Trak

[TheAmazulu]

for me prime was more original

[philipdoom]

prime cuts fucking owned a-traks ass in this. saying anything else is just plain fucking idiotic i reckon.

[handsomestranger1]

good to see prime cuts kicking off with that largely forgotten Hijack tune about paedophiles.

[philipdoom]

@handsomestranger1 hahahahahahaha. awesome comment

[benbirdy]

only watched half the video right now, but I can allready say that these are the most insane moves I eva heard in dj scratching!

[timosom]

a-track is dope but prime did fuck his ass up on this one!!!

[nytemare1]

Prime Cuts did take it to a next level

[camberwellyob]

There's TWO ROUNDS to this battle

[elcAhAb]

Compare this to Showcase of Mixmaster and Qbert in 1995, you know this here is a joke.

[elcAhAb]

And what is Gay-Track doin now.....Technobeats with ArmandVHel.

[elcAhAb]

And what is Gay-Track doin now.....Technobeats with ArmandVHel.

[95tomn]

its true. 6 ppl didnt like the way atrack left jizz in their pants after this

[witness3rd]

turntablism isnt about how many sounds you can get from the fader, line in etc

but to be honest, that tone shit (not from the record, but from distortion) never sat well with me. I dont think thats skill at all.

prime's hand crossover skills are nasty though yet his transitions from one routine to the next were soft.

On his first change to hamster you can see him clicking crabs, but not all the sounds are coming out. definitely more f ups than trak, but he did display more scratch technique

[philipdoom]

@witness3rd sorry and all that mate , but atraks "leaving the battle break to play some scratch samples till i put the other record on" shit never sat well with me. thats the worst transition ever.

[Boutit5150]

@philipdoom glad im not the only one who saw that...i mean dude is dope no doubt and i know im just nit picking but come on man....your fucking A-trak!!!

[witness3rd]

@philipdoom that is very true. but on the real, the majority of transitions of any turntablist is next to nil. not even mentioning the above video I can recall in my head many battles with tablists and crappy transitions. my only reply to yours would be, thats an opening for him (2 b judged) in a battle.

[witness3rd]

@philipdoom for instance trak lacks in transitions at this point in his battle career, where prime excelled. but still, all that 'how many stabs/sounds' can one get isnt creativity to me. its just technical prowess. its not music, and it lacks flow (for ME though) Obv, other people posting seem to think otherwise, but Id have to read all of them (which I wont) to see if their comments have real merit

[pluviusone]

Both were pretty sick but I give it to Prime Cuts hands down for coming original.

[Iconostential1]

You can tell it was a great battle when the comments are on fire with who actually won. Tremendous talent.

[JEFFMETAL666]

Respect to A-Trak for trying.

[LoeyTheBeat]

a-traks intro is so funny. I gotta go with a-trak on this one, he memorized that guitar solo so well and he produced a very complex beat at 3:37. overall he was more innovative than prime. anyone can crab and twitch up a storm and turn a turntable around and that whole pitch fader routine was sloppy imo

[nytemare1]

prime had more up his sleeve i'm afraid

[nterogate]

I nutted at around 7:00 and then I had to go change my pants.That was a nice ass move from Prime.

[misterpinkandblue]

A-Trak was really sick and had awesome tunes but did you see the fingers and the pretty sick moves by Prime Cuts? Both Awesome!

[nathansethcook7]

BOTH very disgusting behind the wheels, but gotta go w/ cuts..nothing taken from a trak though..hes a monster!!nuff respect..love friendly dj battles love it

[plexo1]

Anyone who thinks Atrak won this doesn't understand what they're watching. He's still sick as hell though...

[jcm88]

a-trak !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sickkkkkkkkkkk

[EvilEvil66]

Dude Atrak wrecked this guy, plus he made a major mistake at 7:48.

[MrCmn817]

Prime cut served his ass.

[darksket]

primecuts smashed him...end of

[waxpusher]

Primecuts is a pioneer, A-Trak ain't.

[xMrShaDoW2k10]

if atrak was part of scratch perverts then scratch perverts wouldv been even sicker

[TheEntertainmentKO]

prime cuts won this look on wikidpedia

[maccagrabme]

I think they are about equal but the difference being is that they both have two completely different STYLES which is the way forwards in terms of entertaining the crowd and moving the artform ahead.

[TheEntertainmentKO]

prime cuts everyday of the week

[fredomeireles]

seen this a few times... they´re great!!!

[blotebilledans]

forgive for not knowing but what is the title of the song you here method man??!!! that's killer right there!.

sick run by A-track clean as hell

[JETTAGT01]

Both are Sick!!

[feedyourspeakers]

they were both awesome but watching this again...man prime has got some really unorthodox stuff going on , both technically difficult AND refreshing. I gotta give it to prime cuts =D

[bigdooby1]

6:55 wowwwwww

[demotitan]

A Trak definetly comes with some innovative flows, Prime Cuts seemed more intent on proving his technical ability(which was never in doubt)as opposed to battling.

A Trak schooled Prime on the Battle front

Prime Cuts showing that "Everybody likes a Nice ass, But Nobody likes a Smart Ass"

[DeepGarageHead]

Fierce.

[klatu88]

Yeah Prime has honorable mention on this one. Very technical and very original at the end. Daym!

[musicdisciple]

Primecuts is like making Aphex Twins stuffs on the decks.

[DJmilktooth]

one of the best battels i ever seen!

[victornotdead]

I'm a big scratch perverts fan, but a trak represents the truth here, no doubt.

[martorocks]

you can hear people booing prime cuts

[myturtlelucky]

a trak killed it..the other guy sucked balls

[pjday82]

when a-trak is following the guitar rhythm, he should have turned down the highs on his mixer a little more, sounds like garbage when at the same tone....he could have even hit the mids a little down, its was like listening to your friend in the car who cant sing, sing overtop of a great singer, garbage

[karateporkchop]

@pjday82 Check speakers...

[Devestato72]

you crazy a trak killed prime cuts by far

[jimmyrich1]

Prime Cutz Killed Him!!

[blackfriednoodle]

im sorry to tell you this prime, you got tricks but im gonna have to say A-trak scratch your face off reeeeeeeeal clean!

[bigonez21]

whats record is atrak using to scratch?

[DougDisco]

@bigonez21 hee haw breaks

[bigonez21]

@DougDisco thank you friend

[jukenfox1]

Prime Cuts had more tricks, but pure scratchin and cuttin goes to A-Track

[djulysseslau]

I vote Prime Cuts!

[britcorefan1]

At 4:52, price cuts throws a $150.00 record on the floor lol. The LP is Horns of Jericho By Hijack, and the tune he was cutting up at 4:26 is Don't go with Strangers.

[chokeachickenman]

where do they get alll their tunes to mix

[ghser99]

@chokeachickenman crate dig like a mofo

[0029954]

@chokeachickenman

its all vinyl so mostly from back in the day songs

[ftown631]

@chokeachickenman starting diggin anywhere you possibly can

[mista13er]

i dont know what year it is so i couldn't say which one gets it, but that jazz guitar micking that atrak did was killer!

[aarroninmyhouse]

I wonder why he doesn't stack them

[djnomark]

prime cuts rinsed it. mind you, he did charge me a double jd an coke for an interview at the 09 dmc's cheeky bugger haha

[modEfied]

Prime cuts took it in the the first couple of minutes. Creative mix, precision scratches and clever, innovative deck and mixer antics put A-track 6ft. under.

[jakegrice1]

to be fair there both pretty fucking insane

[bensolloway]

@jakegrice1 Are you from Birmingham?

[jakegrice1]

@bensolloway no why?

[DjJokerr]

prime cuts killed him on the tables

[papasmurf484]

a trak smashed that fool.. he had like 2 cool tricks.. congrats you can turn a turntable around

[sushi77]

blablabla you have no idea about turntableism.

atrak is a genius but prime cuts is better.

smurf read the comments of others they said it allready

[jogonjon]

to be fair prime cutz was a ot more original in his set and his scratches were cleane r and faster

[djstarscream]

@papasmurf484 not forgettin prime is sratching with BOTH hands much faster than a-track

[chickabo0m]

MURDA!!! Jeeez prime really took this one.

[theradness]

can someone explain to me what primecuts does at around 7:00

[underthebox]

puts in reverse

[shawndesmann]

he put the turntable reverse, so that he better use the pitchfader on the technics 1210

[skabound]

big fan of A trak but he got smashed in this one

[EternalJunglist]

Prime cutz is a mixing genious. he has some serious skills. i definatly think he smashed a trak in this one

[Durs5]

@EternalJunglist  he taught me, apart from the wobble at 5.25- which he nicked off me. oh well

[RobTrain09]

i think prime cuts took that, cut along to that break at the beginning wasnt that inventive of a trak, he fucked up a few times and it was generally abit shitty. Prime cuts was more technical and took it. Thats why he won

[TOOL2001]

ya i have it on vhs. he won prime cuts...it was a scratch battle. He took it mainly because of the 'recordless scratchin'...the look on his face when they say who wins.....he couldnt believe it!

[larsg206]

again look at prime cuts face before he starts... you can see on his face that he knows his routine cant fuck with his..

[mexicanstorm]

a-trak killed him

[skratchmonkey]

prime cuts killed a track! even though he had a few fuck ups cause he was trying much new harder stuff then a track.

[jamesford418]

idk. i thought BOTH were siik as hell...

prime cuts WON to me. just cuz of his skill(and he knows his way around the table) BUT

a trak's part was way cleaner

[mexicanstorm]

lol scathing to al di meola

[88atrain]

ok erick... I hope you own turntables saying that shit..Ill agree with you A-tracks always got the freshest breaks he blends them better.. but prime cut is one with the fucking mixer just watch those fingers move... The shit he does is soo much more technical fcking with the volume bar hell even his record drops are faster . prime cuts crabScratch is incomparable with A-tracks.. not to mention the beat juggling.

[erick329]

I like both DJ's but A-Trak was better in that battle.

[larsg206]

yea what the fuck are you guys talking about how could prime cuts have won that? he fucks up so mant times and you can see right before he starts just look at his face he knows his set dosent even come close ahaha

[ChaseGuindon]

5:16 AMAZING

[Rotzloeffi]

"...the motherFUCKER" by Eddie Murphy. :D:D

Great.

[callmedarko]

shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit prime killed it

[lalaramla]

get the fuuuck outta here prime was weak

[owskiONE]

prime cuts set was obviously better...

better transitions, better skills.. easy win.

[bigpikl]

Prime Cuts is nasty ...

[djfastt]

A-track totally destroyed him!! daaam!!

[Kristi1369]

word!

[TheDjLugaru]

3:35

[justluna]

8:25 tahhhhhhhhh ah ah ah ah ah ah ah-

[Devestato72]

4:30 is that kool keith? If so what song?

[theboombaptist]

hijack. dont go with strangers.

[Devestato72]

Thanks dog! You d Man!

[igotdatgoodbar]

nahh trak took dat shit hands down lol

[Devestato72]

Prime's a beast, he took that all the way! Were you joking?

[IvanGr08]

Amazing video!

Both DJs doing great job...

I can't stop watching Prime Cut's set.The man is crazy!Bird is the Word!!!

[dnbdevastater]

prime took it

[Devestato72]

you know what song prime use at 430 the opening

[sinetwo]

Prime took it. More variation, and on spot for everything.

[rohanno]

Prime Cuts won that for me it was more innovative he has some crazy variety and talent. But I know what a great scratcher A Trak is after all he's the youngest DMC winner I think.

Someone made a comment about A Trak selling out at Kanye gig but I agree and disagree at the same time. Rappers these don't need a DJ to do a show and to do an LP. That's part of why hip hop as got souless. However West is big and if he use a DJ like you surposed to then maybe that will promote the old skool way.

[djillyill]

good job guys that was sick

[sambraz06]

whats the name of that method man song that starts at 0.24 ?

[Jungstedt]

its big and method man  - the what.

[DjNefarious]

the what - biggie smalls and method man.

[nelisiah12]

A-Trak destroyed prime............ Destroyed.

[boisbrut]

LOL @ the eddie murphy cut

[fredrude]

Prime is the best ever, but he sucked here, and that's saying something.

[DJChimpski]

two world class turntablists....

for me Prime took it.

[SVTFjason]

a trak totally MURDERED in the end,  were you not there?

[Vairus461]

KING PRIME CUT !!!!

[Blacksungod]

The Perverts are Mad DJ Scientists from Jupiter. I love them.

[djCsyck]

anyone who thinks atrak lost IS AN IDIOT AND NEEDSTO STUDY I MEAN COME ON

[gavvyb]

prime cuts kills it, never a question - perverts are sick

[graffitibomber5411]

prime cuts is fresh!!

[wanton789]

ah idk i think a-track won it over all, prime cuts fuckin killed it in the beginning tho.. that intro damn

[rob3223]

prime cuts. without a doubt,

[killacut]

bro let them hate as much as thay wonts. i really dont give a sh1t wot other think. most haters like pj r idiots and have no love for music at all....

And by the way pjday82 a true musician have no limits or Restriction

[pjday82]

Yeah, I have no appreciation for music, I also have no appreciation for the English language. Your an idiot. Learn to spell and have a great day, asshole.

[killacut]

hahahaha still being a hater....

sorry for my English as it not my 1st language and have a great day, asshole.

[Willpunk1985]

the guitar solo by atrak was massive, but prime its fucking awesome!!!,,he makes the cuts with the two hands, thats fucking cossfading!!!

[littleJBz]

Prime Cuts was dope for sure i love the ending

[pjday82]

And by the way, Kanye is a bitch ass rapper, have fun sellin out a trak, you did dj's a true discredit.

[sucramnipp]

shut up

[pjday82]

You guys are mostly idiots who think a trak won this, I can play power chords all day long and they sound great, but they require little to no skill to pull off. when you throw technique into the mix then you have a true musician, people who know talents will appreciate prime cuts, people who appreciate a catchy tune, will appreciate a trak...simple flares and half juggling wont win the battle, get over yourselves

[Cliquityklack]

yea. so maybe i just watch a lot of dj vids. A trak clearly has more skill as shown in video.

[Cliquityklack]

I haven't even seen prime cuts in the clip yet and all i know is ...is that A-Trak is the ish.!!!!

[rkdnb]

who won ?

[gingerbread79]

Prime cuts blew him away!!!!!

[RoundEyeBooda]

lol prime was jokes n he killed it at the end but i enjoyed listening more to a-trak

[getntheredj]

Amazin scratching along with guitar!!!

[mdhak]

prime cuts was more fun to listen to. a-trak was just noise only a turntabalist can appreciate

[korrect1]

atrak all day

[tomix3b]

5:26

[tomix3b]

The way prime finds the beats with the fader is sick, just years and years of non stop improving to do it

[listentokingme]

What's the name of the track played at 0:34...the one with the guitar solo?

[heyallitzferny]

gotta go with a trak on this one

[Vega17]

A-Trak got that

[hecnice]

A-Trak hands down !!!

1.Technic is more solid

2.Guitar solo oh my

3. Beat down with one Turntable at the end

you kidding me c'mon

Prime did some sloppy hat tricks not impresive .......

[jazzcat1210]

Prime Cuts has way more skills, his tech ability blows a trak out the water! whats up with you??

[JJ5JJ4JJ3JJ2JJ1]

prime cuts has gimmicks...a-track has skills

[ZEANski]

prime cuts did it...

[DJFlipEntertainment]

Man....Prime Cuts really handed A-Trak his ass over to him!!! Although A-Trak did put up a decent fight.....but Prime Cuts really gave it to him!

[tempeturewood]

hes using HeeHaw breaks
