Dj Craze DMC 1998

[nauris708]

how dope is this ????????

[DJCW]

Is this best Craze set ever?

[djfuvideo2]

@DJCW nah the 1998 usa final set is better

[SUBTRAX100]

@nmhz sorry i got my timings wrong there the record at 3.00min is his own record dj craze-bully breaks 1

[SUBTRAX100]

@nmhz the record he is using is called ultimate cakes and sweets pretty rare made by dj mex from brighton england,wicked old school skratch record though mine is fucked from years of use but luckily have a spare!!!

[nmhz]

I saw his US finals also. Cool to see development in his routine from then to this. Most previous world comp competitors won their country competitions and stuck to their routine. Craze a true champion won the US finals then fine tuned his set to conquor all. All time legend

[nmhz]

what is the record playing t 3.00mins? 100 thumbs up to the winner

[rtadd]

wu-uuuuuuuuuuu

[jessejacosta]

this vato is insane fuuckin sick.

[bigfatdick5000]

This set sounded so f*cken good on the mp3's (without visuals) when I first downloaded it back in 2000.

Crazy now that I see this video for the first time, what he was actually doing (visually) all those years behind those funky tunes.

[DominatorDeeStarski]

Canibus-Get Retarded

[kidnateboy]

[MRRJD2]

[ensu47]

[stillceaser]

@ensu47 'Return of the Funky Man' by Lord Finesse & a Canibus track which I forget the name of.

[djanigav]

[bigfatdick5000]

1998, 1999, 2000 was some of the most memorable years in DMC

[skeletorphd]

@bigfatdick5000 Without a doubt & this was probably the best of his routines.

Except for the showcase he did in the year he did this at the UK finals which I can't find on Youtube.

Was an amazing juggle with Dance to the Drummers Beat!

[ST3VE1989]

This is tight! Well done D.J craze im amazed at how fast you move your hands.

[mert78dome]

I bought this video back then and mustve watched this a million times. my fave craze routine

[rtadd]

Wooo!!

[xeshiro]

Fucking amazing

[DjScout]

this was the first DJ video i ever saw. changed my 11 year old life!

[BASSAROVER]

this is harder then it looks...way harder

[captinweestain]

DJ Static should've won

[highawareness]

Sounds from the future. .. in the past. What?

[fisherlibermannutsc]

A trak should have won, but craze had a good set

[MrMaxPounder]

A-Trak should not have won.

[Viberationz]

@fisherlibermannutsc not even, this craze's best performance at dmc. plus you didnt even notice that a-traks fader flew off too!

[rtadd]

uhhhhhh!!!!

uuuuuuhhhh!

love that part haha

[Jimpsterz]

the king of it

[incredibert]

I love this set! so fresh !!

[hiphopmixtapes]

This was a dope year I remember talking to him and telling him I thought he was probably going to win it again the following year. He was so humble about it, saying there's a ton of strong cats out there. I was like naw, judging from what I had seen, I could tell overall he was well ahead of the pack at that time. Craze is just really well rounded, He's got scratch skills on both sides, a good sense when putting together routines and great word play. His sets are rhythmic and entertaining.

[edwin4759]

i agree. he was cool.

[Doomtrain79]

That's cool ;). I had some videos. 3 of em or so from '98. The DJ"s I liked were DJ Cookie, DJ Lil Jazz, some DJ from Hawaii and some DJ from..... India I think? I've been looking for em here, but no luck yet. U know where to find more of this guys stuff?

[quesyall]

shit he knew he was going to win. i remember he called me before he left doing the final touches on this routine.

[djrakman]

@hiphopmixtapes yeah bro and every time i see it? ..... truly amazing ...... practice..... practice...... practice!!!!!!!! you should check his earlier routines too if you havent yet he been scratching a long time bro

[bodstrom]

@hiphopmixtapes Craze is and always will be humble. :) That is his nature. ;)

[erproto]

e un emozione

[philldafunk]

is it just me or @ 5:05 theres another hand/arm in the picture??

[DJsais3s]

thats someone telling him he got just 1 more min

[djfinesse1]

im pretty sure that was a 1 min left reminder

[danieltron11]

holy fuck he has a hidden arm!!!!!

[hipnopath]

@danieltron11 I think it may be the camera guy pointing at something.

[cigarbong]

@hipnopath that's time keeper telling Craze one minute left.

[PtakMC]

Whats name first song ... pls

[23rich23]

sex im ears

[Italbless]

Just watched that again it is that good. Not seen this set for ages. By far the most accomplished DJ to ever come out of the DMC battles.

A-trak and DJ Noize are my other favourites.

[Italbless]

Awesome set, his one at the 1998 USA finals is worth checking out - equally incredible.

Does anyone know the tune he uses for the intro wordplay, Canibus and ????? The bit with 'you better mention me'.

PEace

[DJMakeWay]

Lord Finesse - Don't know what track, try to check his early albums.

[Italbless]

Lord Finesse - Fat for the 90s.

Peace!

[videowatcherkc]

I think is USA finals 1998 routine was 10x better though, he came out hard! He would have won worlds with either routine!

[videowatcherkc]

Begining of the 3 peat baby!

[FLOW3R000MANT1S]

Dud3..sound..this iz an insult! lol.

[GordonFreemanHL]

Crazy Craze :D

[ayze666]

[MikeZectarian]

[AskanBeatnik]

[modestmark]

one of the best ever...

[dj50mad]

que de souvenir, j'etais dans la salle ce jour la, craze etait sans contest le plus complet, respect à crazy B qui arreta les dmc après celui la, mais la victoire de craze etait merité malgré le gros defending de A-trak

[MikeZectarian]

what is the name of the 2 first records??

[dlinkw]

I know one of them was Canibus-Channel Zero from his debut album Can-I-Bus surprised he used it.

[mata456]

its actually canibus "get retarted"

[Bane1979]

It sounded like a Lord Finesse song.

[markyruss]

bad man !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rustyurban]

je me rappelle parfaitement de son set: une tuerie mais grand respect a Crazy-B ce jour là... ThanKs

[DjGreenz]
