Dj Craze US DMC 1997

[mysterymediacorp]

Check out how at 3:10 when he does the needle dropping, how the judges can't even see what he's doing. I doubt if having the judges not knowing how you're doing your thing helps in a battle..

[lkrux]

at 130 min it was skippin and hes like "wtf" then brings it back with that pitch control oo yaa.sick idea craze.skillss

[xbcnfujv]

LOOKS SOOPER DOOPER FUN

[wOnKiwOrLd]

Still to this day craze should have won..... This is my favourite set of all dmc comps...

I blame boogie man for needle jumps, with his play underside of record trick......then again boogies tit of a friend might of still been prancing around at side if stage

[123gangstapop123]

3:28 someone yells "showoff"

thats what the competition is...

[khalik001]

whats 2:28?

[JBLAZE999]

@khalik001 its a rectangle record, using do the james by super lover cee, which used something else.

[perdono007]

he was a real champion!!! peace to the 90s

[Ciyanem]

Felt so bad bout da needle set up..He sum hw had a cover up wid his next sick loop on d other TT..Such a sick Old school Dj...!!!Keep it up Kraze..!

[MEKON17]

that was fucking great !

[DJNet66]

You're right he would've won if it weren't for the needle fiasco.Afterwards he was just flawless.

[mlinkenauger]

Craze probably would have won this one too if that hadn't happened, that was sooo sick...

[ThaPhillyPhan]

this is INSANE i like the shoulder and stomach scratch ;D

[thesimpletonshow]

i like how he's feeling his own mixes by almost dancing

[andediz]

fo sho bro !!!

[f22fighter12]

his face at 432

[buckswing]

anyone know the track @ 2:28 ???

[TheNYBOMBER]

anyone know the track @ 5:38 ???

[TonyBanana08]

@TheNYBOMBER im not sure but it sounds a little bit like method mans "all i need", but speeded up. watch out there are two versions of that track

[raykyaw]

he would go to finals,,if his right turntables didnt screw it!!

[raykyaw]

the best part is at 1:59

[skillz91745]

Nothing special about what he did at 1:59 Qbert did that in his 1991 DMC USA and worlds finals set.

However Caze is the best ever IMO!

[HippieLandTV]

@skillz91745 then tell me the name of the BLUE DISC XD

[skillz91745]

@HippieLandTV- Actually I do know. The question is do you know? Since you want to administer a quiz!

[Clonkersgonebonkers]

he's good but mixmaster mike is MMMMUUUUCCCCHHHH better

[Viberationz]

@Clonkersgonebonkers ...um ok

[mrlawnge]

he should have still won...hands down

[wordperfect]

the allies!

[raykyaw]

best juggler ever

[wOnKiwOrLd]

My favourite set from craze!!! He should have checked arm heights especially after boogie come up with that mad turn the needle upside down under a record on a cotton reel to play underside of record backwards.......

-wOnKi

[kazinogoatcheese]

maybe i missed something or i just can't see it!

[quesyall]

you i remember when he came home and told he lose. we were fucked up, but a year later he gone it. this my nigga life.

[djdispys]

the fuckin man

[UTBDJSOUND]

the record make have been on bull shit but you cant touch craze either way. hahaha

[guybrush93]

wow, all this fuss when a 15 year old boy owned it up in the world finals...

deserved

[KarameloKaramelo]

FUCKING HELL!

LEarn from the master of the master!

[maharris900]

That's Method Man and Mary J. Blige n shyt! (You're All I Need to Get By...

[bkflatbushtone]

what track is that at 5:40 ??? he killed that

[pogobrat]

whats he bumping on 2:10?

[Isonny21]

@pogobrat Nas - If I ruled the World

[jibbermasterstreet]

man i thought this was his best year out of all of them even when he won, if his record didn't skip he had it in the bag, this is a little more fresh than his 98-99-2000 i think anyway.

[yuta9301988]

absolutely amazing

[maharris900]

That's Silence of the lambs - Showbiz & AG...

[juampadj]

It wasn´t a skip, i think a trouble with the tonearm.

As you can see , Craze pull the tonearm full down... (who has Technics 1200 MK2 will understand...)

[flandersfails]

what's that uptempo beat that kicks in at 1:11?

[allboutk]

thing i like best about Craze it that he is so musical

[EmoneyBagsRIP]

sorry, slyce is that nigga but craze shoulda won this.

[0djflawless]

i like this set from craze

[fredomeireles]

The needle skipped but the set was great.

He's unique.

[fooloof]

Slyce was dope, but Craze shoulda won. Even though his records skipped, he still had the dopest set: He did everything Slyce (body tricks, strobes and juggles), but also had doper, more complex juggles with power-off and backward-spinning parts. Plus, his tones were dope. AND he had more showmanship. We all know what happened the next year though. Craze probably went home in '97 madder than a motherfucker.

[juampadj]

I 100% agree :)

[joker10687]

that beat at like 2:35 turns into Jay-Z's "La la la" after a few years :0

[akerockstar]

he redeemed himself after the needle skipping...it was a brilliant set! everyone was into it...

[bigLmvp1]

epmd "its my thang" at 4:32

this guy is einstein on the tables

[gadget609]

@bigLmvp1 it's actually tha alkaholiks -"only when i'm drunk"

[mrlawnge]

this is one of his best sets.....he should have one it ANYWAYS!!!!!!!!!!

[BEATADDICT12]

you can tell the energy is good in this room

[Mrbrigante02]

this has gotta be one of craze's best sets!

[en4sm8zn7g8]

what's the track at 0:28?

[divineclown]

lol fuckin craze was always comin up with dope shit

[hansum48]

If the needle hadnt skipped who knows ? total eclipse was nice though, mad crazy respect. SHIFT-B.P.M.

[smjrecords]

son is nasty with it....no one can beat him...not even roc raider........possibly qbert.

[narcotect]

he's come a long way

[SexDrugzTechno]

AW shit if he had gone on to the world champs he could've beat A-Trak. I don't think A-TRak's world-winning routine was all that unique. Anyway they were both so young back then!!!

[divineclown]

lol craze ws like fuck that imma keep goin at the end

[Mimiz911]

whats the song at 2:20?

[vivekt16]

its not the original...but the tune i kno uses the same break beat...its by horace brown called 'do for love' or summin like that, forgot the original break beats name

[Mimiz911]

thanks a lot. I'll find it.

[Cjn604]

"If I Ruled The World (Imagine That)" - Nas

[krazzyyo2]

@Mimiz911 fool

[JK47Tubing]

Daaaammmmnnn. That's deep. I remember the 97 world competition. But I didn't know Craze had a skipping problem. That's why I wasn't a big fan of the Shure 447's. If the tone arms are not set right, they skip like a broken record. But Slyce was clean that year too.

[druboogie]

Craze was using stantons in 97.

[JK47Tubing]

oh shit. damn, that's real dope then. Your hands gotta be a little gentle with them....

[druboogie]

Exactly! I forget what year it was, but in one of his worlds sets, his stantons skipped alot, but he was smooth as usual and pulled it off anyays.

[djaykaos954]

Man! If craze didn't have his record skip in the beginning he might've taken this competition. It always hurts me to see the beginning. He definitely handle himself well with the mishap though.

[druboogie]

His needle skipping was my fault. I had the height adj set waaay up and he went on after me.

[gesc1200]

yeeo Slyce you sabotaging the competition?? lol..

[druboogie]

I DID sabatage him, not intentionally though. I lifted the tone arms real high for my set, and forgot to put them back down after I got off. Craze forgot to check them and as a result.....

Anyway, his year was 1998 and on..no denyin that.

[joeycost]

bro, that happened to me in a battle too. i never checked the weights and i bombed so bad. my needles jumped all over the place

[illlx]

i love how he switches the pitch up to do nas if i ruled the world...fuckin siiick

[benaight]

what does the man say at the end wen hes got a mixer in his hand i swear hes says come on niger right at the end thats crazty

[deftonehundred]

i wonder if craze's needles didn't skip he'd gone on to beat a-trak ?

[Wallelia]

Ive alwayz wondered how the fuck he needle drops on that record.

[f22fighter12]

what record hes beatjugglin at 2 28

[f22fighter12]

roc raida can body trick fasterr...but crazy is still good

[djskware]

siiiiiiickk!!!

[Slicearoni]

One of the illest ever..Shame that the needle hopped or he'd have dmc 4x in a row!!!!

[aznpinoy13]

that mess up on 1:16 made him get 3rd pleace....but he was still at his best.

[talltrini10]

Holy shit. That "All I need" juggle was insane

[itsthehole]

Does anyne know the song at 0:27?

[vivekt16]

its showbiz & AG 'silence of the lambs' ;its off their album runaway slave.

[crookedmind]

Heh, I love how you stole this from me and didn't even bother to edit out the ending, awesome.

[djdane]

oh well. Thanks

[habib77fm]

@crookedmind you mad? haha

[musicdisciple]

like the jazzy mellow part at 5:15 it's nice.

[twin25]

craze at his best. classic routine.
