Yeah so? Everything has a level of complexity. I very much love what this kid was doing in 1997, but things change. Your condescending tone very much represents what the new generation hates about the oldheads. You all think this was the realest shit when in fact there is no real shit. Music is art and as such it can be interpreted in whichever way anyone goddamn pleases. Stop trying to make an arguement about how "new music is easy". If he used headphones, so what? Does he get less art points for using them? Should he play blindfolded perhaps? I don't get it, there's so much good music everywhere now and all old school guys do is complain about how the music sucks because of mumble trap.
@@Panzer731You're inconsistent. You're talking about that everything has a level of complexity, which should relate to scratching techniques since you're commenting on the TO's comment. Then you're suddenly writing about new music and that art is art and incomparable. There is still good music around...agreed. But that's not the topic. But scratching techniques haven't improved and by far not gained any higher level of complexity. That's what the TO is talking about. May be you (guess you're a "newhead") should start digging further into music culture and you'd find out, that oldschool was the real shit, and we're far away from having any new school. There aren't any new technique inventions, most use digital technology to do the same stuff that has been done 30 years ago. Only the level of complexity has diminished.

Okay gonna need some sources on this...I never thought he was the big fuss that people thought he was, his scratching was on point but there were better DJ's that year..still, I'd like to hear how his parents are "connected"
"DJs" of today's Era would have zero clue how absolutely insane and technical this is. Also dissing the priors year winner and no headphones, switching 1/3 to 1/4 multiple times. Absolutely a beast
today,hes a EDM producer like the djs of today but the thing that makes him so unique in the DJ world is that he still does the real dj stuff,scratching
Joseph Cabello highly subjective...There’s selection, matching,mixing,scratching, juggling and modulating. personally, I’d say the most important is mixing. Everything else can be walked back to a certain point. Even someone with no ear for rhythms can spot a train wreck right away
hey I'm not sure whos missing what but I think it's amazing that DJ Qbert was told he couldn't compete at the DMV World Finals anymore so he showed up with the 15 year old Canadian unknown and took the cup took the gold and especially when his set talked so much Direct shit to all the other competitors he did an amazing job his first time out at bat and kept it going ever since!!!
It normally takes me a while to skip and move to the next track on my record player. A-Trak just slams the vinyl down and BOOM, at the right point of the groove. Without headphones on. I'm gonna go out on a limb by saying he's probably practised this at least twice. Maybe three times.
@@Borderlands808 VHS is an early iteration of video format before DVD or MP4 file, and even RUclips, Netflix, PornHub, and any other streaming sites today.
Copped this on vhs back in 97 from G-force record store in Atlantic City. I have to say after all these years. The nobody beats the biz routine is and by far the best. He one the title that year and then came "Craze" who eventually one it 3 times in a row. I miss the older DMC battles.
All of the adult DJ's in the room were probably thinking, "Snotty little shit is stealing my thunder. I worked hard for years and it's being taken away by someone whose balls haven't even dropped yet."
what the hey-hey?!? gives me chills every time! seen it on vhs in 1999 or 2000 (i believe), seen it 1000+ times since, & still get a thrill with every viewing! this kid was in his early teens, all of 63lbs, & getting cocky towards grown-arse-increasingly jealous/angered dudes in a subculture known for it's elitest environment full of bravado & wannabe macho-men! yeah, homie may have weighed 63lbs, but 40lbs of that was balls. one of the best parts: he's still out there pushing the culture forward! all love.
Pheonix2022 why? cause it doesn't have no 808s or trap snares that over rides the vocals of an artist using reverb and autotune because he can't rap nor sing and is some how popular even though his music is the outcome of too much lean and xans? cause that is the hardest I've ever seen someone try so hard to make something sound like shit
Pheonix2022 i dpnt get it sometimes i was djing simce 16 on turntable if indid that shit at a neighborhood party i would have been shot to me it was always make all the songs seem like one big ass song with no breaks on point with scratching beat juggling.but this right here reminds me of the movie juice when they were battling
I was there that night and saw him win his first championship! Qbert did a guest set too, if memory serves me correctly, it was a looong time ago but so rad!
Ultimate Scratch Volume 1, 2 or 3. A side had scratch samples and B sides had beats and breaks. There are way more out there but those are the ones I had with similar beats. Good luck trying to find any of them lol I think there are other ones called, Lethal Weapon for battle DJs
Good friends but yeah craze is on another level, along with rafik, kentaro and plenty of others. I'd never say A trak is a legend of the scene but props to him for winning dmc
@Serial Killa wtf lol he wasn't an og pickle I thought he rocked with klever, infamous, craze in the allies. And even thwn being a pickle doesn't make u a legend imo. Mike is good but no where near top tier. Don't wanna sound like I'm hating but if A trak is a legend there are about 50+ in turntablism that's all I'm saying.
Music taste is subjective, all of this is for the art and the music, not just the flair of it. There is a musicality in it, I personally think it sounds really good and funky, but it's not like that for everyone.
JHEEZE !! No headphones 🎧 thats what i noticed straight away raw talent personified right hear 1997 winning set 👌 !! 2019 and could watch A-trak all day being an old skool bboy this is truely fcking mazza outstanding still !! . Blessed yeah I'm out peace . ✌🇬🇧🎚💯
first of all This is fucking sick :D second I wonder what the other big time Dj's were like back when they started...like RL Grime and Baauer wonder what they were like :\
What makes this shit so beautiful is this needle and vinyl where you got find your spot. And he slowing naturally fast recordings down with his techniques.
I gather that there is a strong division, although not apparent to most people, between DJ’s who play music to dance to, and DJ’s who demonstrate technical mastery like this....
another question. is there a reason why someone kept putting paper on top of the phono inputs? was it to hide the name of the mixer or something? just looks odd to me. im a camera man and ive used white paper to white balance a scene prior to filming but i highly doubt thats why this was there....
I remember when I had a subscription to the DMC magazine back in the late 90's and they covered this world finals. Apparently, that piece of paper was A-Track's "prompt sheet" as described in the story. So I'm guessing that piece of paper had all of his records he was using for his set listed in the order he was going to use them and on which turntable they would go on.
15years old and nobody made him look like some kind of prodigy that time as these days when internet is making from every kid super talented genius...😅
That was His time, great skills, sense of rhythm, perfectionism in all details of a single scratch combined with good surrounded beats and I truly admire him for those 3-4 years of beginning. Sad is that he wasted all of that for being famous and all of that...but anywahay who love and respect music know what i mean. Cheers! ;)
wouldnt call him "famous" tbh, and ppl who talk a game about staying true and shit gotta understand that shit dont pay ur light bill. hes still talented
The cockiness is the best part. Well knowing the type of person he is now. Doesn’t act at all cocky and should be since he’s the GOAT.
