[biffstudd]

Do you know how hard it is to cut up a 45?

[biffstudd]

This just goes to show that most of the great producers were D.J.'s first.

[CanvassBlack]

I went to high school with Diamond. We'd all go to his house after school and he'd cut records while some guys rapped. The admission was a few Blunts. Those were the days!!!!!

[smith3362]

[sliccmoufschalaa]

Excellent Set!! There was a day in time when the DJ was the center of attention and juggled like that for the MC but most of the props went to the dj.

[mookeychase0907]

@sliccmoufschalaa No question thats the reason when a crew duo or was mentioned back in the day the DJ's name was always mentioned first he was the one in charge...

[underground27]

Diamond D with the 45s.... A REAL DJ at work!!!!!!

[Warriorz181]

i wished he would say at every step what hes just doin. got tons of respect for djs like that.

[superfunky2006]

thanks DIAMOND D for bringing the 45s over here and not a laptop, theres a message there, so younga heads can see what your doing and that it aint just about just loopin samples on a machine.

that relly is unbelivable juggling on 45s

[superfunky2006]
