KID KAPRI

[civicdoc]

If you're a dj these cats from Holland are doing it on another level. They're the guys you want to try and emulate. I've taken a lot of their techniques and merged them with my style and my mixing has stepped up to a whole other level.

[dlinkw]

look at all that vinyl reduced to one laptop. DJs are gettin mad lazy yo

[civicdoc]

To all comparing capri and AM they are 2 totally different types of DJ's. AM i would say was more skilled than Capri and had a knack for mixing different genres of music. Capri would destroy him in music selection and rocking the crowd. AM lucked up and played rich ritzy types of places. But he would empty a real dance floor in a real NY club in an NY minute with his stupid music selection. I've heard AM mix some of the stupidest non club types of music into his sets.

[DJTLSMOOTH]

im loving this shyttt !

[Nekitouz]

this shit is so hot

[WadeWestTv]

dude is still one of the nicest entertainers out!!

[chiangbang]

how the fuck you gonna dis capri?

[JayktheDJ]

anyone can mix boring 8 bar intro into boring 8 bar intro. this is what takes skill. its about energy level kids. they didnt have serato when he was 15

[TrueDesperate]

guys who hating on this video are you outta your goddamn mind? this is actually still greatest hip-hop set i've ever heard...Kapri is rocking the wheels of steel at his best...The djin isnt only about arrangin your bpms at your home or whatever...Especially in hip-hop where beats flows like crazy, drums, hornes and rhymes...all you club djs the real djin was straight like this back in the days - rockin the crowd with juices outta your crates and rockin the mic.

[Poppadonprince]

@TrueDesperate thats true.. you make a lot of sense lol !!!!!!! Djing came from hip hop.......

[JayktheDJ]

dont get much better then this

[JayktheDJ]

doesnt get much better then this..

[tofeek]

This is a part of DJing, slamming the record which capri kills, but we cant say AM is not a DJ he rocked crowds just like capri did. They are both legends in my book.

[anotherfanofme]

@tofeek Agree. Both legends. 2 totally different type of Dj's. Both paved ways and opened doors for other Dj's and gave back to the culture. #RIPAM

[ronduenyc]

@anotherfanofme dj am dont have shit on kid capri!!!! get the fuck out of here with that bullshit....im 35 and when i was around 13 years old kid capri was out doing the damn thing and that was around 89/90 where the fuck you get that bullshit about dj am paving the way....lol kid capri was 1 of the first to do mixtapes...u dudes must be young to say some shit like that

[daman2u]

This is real dee jaying. I used to watch this dude at The ROOFTOP in Harlem in the 80's. He was hot then. He's still doing his thing.

[JimHrdz]

I think anyone who disses this, are one of those wack ass wannabe AM dj's, I don't call him a dj because he really wasnt.

Club dj's will crash and burn, pay your respects to a legend. If u can rock a crowd harder than kid capri...... let's see it, if not shut the fuck up! REAL HIP HOP DJ'S

DEFinishun

[DJCLOSER]

JimHrdz.......Did you just say that you don't call DJ AM a real DJ??? "He really wasn't" These are your words??? Yo.... first of all shut yo stupid ass up. Second of all...I tell yo mama shut the fuck up!!! THE EAST COAST LOVED AM!!! Everybody did!!! Kid Capri loved him.. Fat man Scoop "the king of hype em" loved him, so that means JimHrdz sit the fuck down in your small little place in the world and and shut the fuck up!!!

[JimHrdz]

man fuck you i seen your videos, youre wack too. i can give a shit what kid kapri thought about him. ill still say it fuck that wack junkie..... jsut another DJ am dick rider.

Put your skill up and lets battle bitch.

[DJCLOSER]

Qualify yourself then Jimhrdz. You no accountability, comment making lil cunt! This guy comes out and says AM & Kid Capri ain't shit. AM owned LA, Capri ran New York. Who are you?You're that cat not making a dent or puttin anything up himself...

[DJCLOSER]

Google "JimHrdz" and you will find 26 pages of this faggot hating on every dj video he comes across... Just kill yourself and get if over with loser.

[JimHrdz]

Well gald to know i got someone who googled me :-)

Kid capri to me is legend so get your facts straight son.

And I don't got to prove shit to you or anyone else on youtube, like I said I would take you out anyday.

You style is garbage. just another dumbass who thinks DJing is the cool thing to do.

[emdwalker6]

Don't criticize unless you have tried it yourself. I am also a DJ and this dude has skills because a lot of the songs he is playing have different beat counts and that is a clean way of dropping and keeping the crowd moving.

[Djintrigue]

@emdwalker6 turntables have pitch control for songs with "different beat counts" just sayin

[vanessa5786453]

what brand of turntables is good? Is Audio Technica a good brand?

[WadeWestTv]

Totally wack actually

[DJCLOSER]

You can eat a dick too!

[WadeWestTv]

I was responding to the post above mine

[WadeWestTv]

until you are a dj yourself you won't understand any of this, some people might think he's not doing much, cueing songs, no beatmatching, equing, etc.

but here's the thing people miss, at an event like this NOBODY wants to see you standing on stage mixing in your headphones, yeah it might sound dope but it will KILL the energy. i had to learn it the hard way. know your crowd.. the dj never changes but the crowd does. peace

[djcutlas76]

@WadeWestTv VERY WELL PUT... JUST DID A SHOWCASE WITH JAY SKI AND ANOTHER DJ.......LOL THE OTHER DJ FELL SHORT!!!! HE WAS MIXING, AND THEY STARTED BOOING HIM!!!! ENERGY HAS TO STAY HIGH!!!

[civicdoc]

@WadeWestTv This is probably one of the most asinine comments I've ever read. Capri has no skills other than throwing records in behind some weak ass scratches and running his mouth on the mic. And people don't come to watch a dj,they come to listen to a dj. And trust me blending records with impact is something he has no idea how to do. That's why he just throws records in and screams. You want to see real dj's,search DJ TLM,DJ DNS and the rest of the Classic Cutterz!

[civicdoc]

@WadeWestTv And just in case you want to know I'm a DJ,I've been spinning since 1988 and I would blow his doors right off in killin a crowd!

[WadeWestTv]

@civicdoc good looks. upload some tapes! I wanna c where the real DJ's are at!!!!

[civicdoc]

@WadeWestTv Will do homey. But check out dj tlm,Boi jeanius,dj dns,dj knox,dj manie. You can find them right here on youtube. Once you see these cats get it in you're gonna realize guys like Kid Capri,Funkmaster flex,dj scribble,red alert are nothing behind the tt's. And what's really fucked up is that most of the dj's I'm telling you to check out are from Holland. They get it in better than we do!

[WadeWestTv]

@civicdoc ohh yeah.. never heard of manie, but the rest are fire. yeah, flex and red alert kinda piss me off. i still kinda like scribble, but then again, i was born in 89... so the dudes i grew up listening to on the radio aren't pioneers. but tlm is nice and he isnt that old... kid capri is in another millenium, dudes like 80

[civicdoc]

@WadeWestTv Go to soundcloud and search classic cutterz. They've got tons of mixes from 10 minutes long to 2 hours long. DJ TLM put up a mix called Old School Anthems thats fire! 2 Hours of the best classic hip hop. And DJ Manies mixes are sick, the man blends songs so seamless that you can't even tell when they're changing. Check Manies 10 minute r&b mix. You won't be disappointed.

[Birdhouse19]

ha that guy in the back of served as kapri's laptop back then

[CrunkKing232]

lmao yh

[gablez1999]

lol

[Dymon2007]

yeah, not a good night for da kid... still love him, tho...

[TheMostHatedPlayer17]

i think this video who recorded at the mondial, in belgium.. grandmaster flash went to this club last sunday, it was a hot sunday night theme too, it was crazy, can't wait for the video..

[minawhy]

The club is located in the Netherlands....that's also where Amsterdam & Rotterdam are based..

[batisitad]

i agree with djkachi you have to know what you are doing. timing is everything when you are playing live or just playing period . i,m a dj myself and i totally agree with that 100%.

[chilliwackdogg]

Baby K

[plm2879]

God's gift to clubs! kid is a KING!

[SKILLMIX]

sloppy set. An off night for Kid.

[javy125]

you need to observe with the swiftness he changess records

[javy125]

[bb1434]

I truly believe he is one of the greatest ever but this set is nothing special at all for a club dj. Any one can slam between songs and scream into a mic. I know he is better than this. This set does nothing for him.

[DJNox718]

This is one of the greatest pieces of material a Club DJ can study. Thank you!

[djkachi]

no anyone cant just do that...i do this for a living too, and seen peeps try to do it, and they cant. you gotta have that shit timed just right.
