DMC World 1998 DJ A-trak (Canadá)

[djhyr0]

his fader fell off... :(

[newbalancev74]

he said ''DJ A-Train''

[modemkilla]

4 that time & check it no scratch live, his touch was & still is nice, along wit his skills !!!

[moishaism]

I was there!!!!

[darionw]

@moishaism LUCKY! lol

[moishaism]

@darionw, met him this 9th July 2011 in Lisbon, gave him my DMC 1998 Paris entrance ticket, to give me an autograph. He was really surprised and even took a photo and published on his tweeter ;)

[dagoju]

that was a stunning performance at 16 but he was better in 1998 than in 1997...

but only 3rd place in 1998 and 1st place in 1997 : find out the mistake...

crazy b never was DMC champion and his technic was a little bit better than A trak, especially in 1997... dmc champion just because of his very young age, why not ;o)

[315WestProductions]

Very technical. Crazy skill.

[DAVIEbrudjk]

Yea it's good for the first 10 seconds, I don't see the point in that style of djing,, hardly gonna fill a dancefloor with scratching sounds, , but fair play to him all the same!

[ramzevans]

@DAVIEbrudjk the point of turntablism competitions is not to fill dancefloors but win and take home the trophy. It's the same as saying that a pianist at a piano competition or a singer at a singing competition will hardly fill a dancefloor with piano playing or singing.

Club DJing is completely different from turntablism.

Your comment is just retarded.

[FlipoutMusic]

@DAVIEbrudjk awesome comment.

[mistawevu]

lol the same sounds on this video ised on iPhone app Baby Scratch

[doctorhooka]

Shame the equipment let him down, see the fader go flying off? Still great though.

[SuperNorman5]

Fuck Kanye West!!!!!!!!!!

[TylursVideo]

If your that good at 16, then you know hes going to have a bright future...

[diego199221]

Huge!!!

[erick329]

I like A-Trak, but I think Craze was better.

[zetapingpong]

@erick329 Craze is on another level compared to any beat juggler lol

[djfobtronics]

good skills for his age at the time, but very boring routine.

[djrakman]

yeah a-trak in his battling prime

[djfakt]

All the face-making and posturing looks so, so juvenile.

If I heard a band that sounds as sloppy as most dj routines I would leave immediately. They often times sound like an inebriated drummer who forgot how to keep time.

[teenagetruck]

Juvenile? The dude is only 16 in this vid. What were you doing when you were 16? I mean, besides masturbating to JC Penny catalogs and buggin' your dad for your allowance. This kid was a DMC champ before he could drive.

This style of dj'ing requires more skill and rhythm than club dj'ing by a longshot. And I'm a 10+ year club dj. I've heard drummers that couldn't keep rhythm like this.

[witness3rd]

@teenagetruck BEST COMMENT EVER

[stuartw12345612]

@teenagetruck, I bet he's probably much better with his wheels of steel than his steering wheel too!

[MinnesnowtasBest]

Whatever. That doesn't even make any sense. Dj's are the foundation of hip-hop. Your comment is just ignorant.

[glict]

This was good. But it isn't hard to see why Craze beat him

[holysmokes1990]

his crossfader falls off, that pretty much why he lost

[poopheadIII]

Lol i dont think so ... They get judged by the complete package the fader wasnt a big deal !!

HE just didnt have the best routine here !!!

Dope shit anyway Peace

[MAGIKORBIT]

DAMN YOU BEAT ME TO IT HAHAHA

[pairupinthrees]

What a retard!

[glict]

Too bad Craze came along and hella murffed it after this.

[onepixel]

First time I saw him mix was @ UnderPressure ONE, a graffiti convention in Montreal, his hometown. He was maybe 13-14.. 1996. Great Dj to ear/see spin the wheels of steel.

ETHIKAL klothing...

[MikeZectarian]

from what song is the "rock the beat" ????

[funkdoobet]

mantronix step to me (do me) 12''

[JumpenRinns]

little did he know that he grows up to become Kanye Wests DJ lol

[Mcgrathbboy4life]

@JumpenRinns And half mastermind to the single that took clubs by storm..barbra streisand.. :D

[robertoreja]

ja reparou q o botao do crosfader solta?

[bigfatdick5000]

damn i can't believe it's 10 years ago this clip....

[hybby]

Love the entire video :) But around 3 minutes it's so good.

I'm seeing him on saturday in winterpeg :) Gonna be SOOO good

[mataafa1]

In that time, man those cutz were fresh as hell.. I mean they still dope today but more people no the combos of scratches... for 98 he def killed it for real.

[Choechi]

he rules my world

[caseloke]

The first two minutes or so isn't too good. But everything after is really awesome. Too much beat juggling for a Worlds routine though. Just my opinion.

[mobymydick]

Anyone know what mixer he is using?

[DJCW]

Technics shdj1200.

[Ohyesindeed]

his 97 set was way better

[macckun]

does anyone know the name of first track?

[djnews3]

Biz Markie - Goin'off

[djCsyck]

i love this routine,its so sick

[djCsyck]

did ne one notice the crossfader knob fall off around 3:10

[tehrealdjcrossfire]

yeah if u look he does when the camera gos out of the close view at like 3:04 ull see it lol good eye though

[djCsyck]

lol i noticed cuz i own the sunglasses is a must , he points out , u should cop the dvd if u like atrak

[Zejex15]

[musicdisciple]

great year.

[fefedj]

fuxyhau see the title video man

[fuxyhau]

is this a dmc champ ?

[boollett]

craze got the title in this i think

[bt10arjen19robben]

Well, he was defending his world title. So if u defend, u dun hav to qualify through his country again

[tehrealdjcrossfire]

um he made world with that??? i mean hes a track and all but that aint world quality..

i nearly fell asleep still not bad though

[musicdisciple]

nah the world title was 1997.

[BonWon519]

dude thats like almost 10 yrs ago now....THESE days that routine would get like 15th..haha

[DJCW]

bollox

[IntelInside2020]

no it wouldn't

[Zejex15]

no, today the djs only can figure out to move the faders very fast, and they got no skill.

[djCsyck]

would totally have to disagree , for my own sake
