@rhymezgalore I loved Dummy's set that night...and I was in the battle! I'm glad I was one of the couple of dj's he didn't diss that night , because no one expected that,lol. Salute & respect to Dummy, a great dj AND entertainer ! Mysterio
This shit was done PROPER...... fuck all the "oh, that shit was sloppy/messy not clean enuf." bullshit man he made those turntables RAP he hand picked every line and made them rhyme and they were aimed at every other DJ on the roster. Dummy did his fuckin' homework mate and no mutha fucka was ready to hear themselves get dissed as bad as Dummy dissed them that night. Historical.
This is hands down one of the best DMC sets ever and he barely scratched. The level of musicality, originality and cutting were through the roof and the juggling was flawless. If he only worked in more technical scratching I'd say this set would have been better than the one Kentaro won the Worlds with.
Iamyouonlydifferent Craze is sick with it and one of my all time favs but I say this with all due respect to the man.Dummy's set here was ridiculous.He called out every dj without missing a beat combined hype tricks with juggles which isn't common and split multiple records to do it.After this set many started pressing their own plates to sharpen transitions yes craze evolved it for sure but at least give this guy the credit he deserves.
chris allistar Amen to everything you said. Dummy did on vinyl more than what most DJ's do with Serato nowadays. He went through multiple records and didn't miss a single cue point. The level of skill, creativity and dexterity that went into this routine is in the top 1% of sets in DMC history. This set is still dope by today's standards, 17 years later.
Still one of my favorite battle videos ever. The way he just murdered all the DJ's by name, mad creativity and putting the set together. Reminds me alot of how NOIZE used to do his stuff, but with more NY Swagger that Dummy brings to the tables.
I can imagine how intense it was for DUMMY, specially with Steve Dee and Roc Raida sitting to the right of him. What I like about Dummy's set is that it was extremely original and even when the needles skipped or fucked up, He made it look like it was part of his persona in the routine. Dope stuff. Still one of the illest DJ's alive.
I remember being there at the NY Regionals that year when that last part of the routine was used...I knew he was going to win that regional then especially with the We'll always love Dummy routine...tight.
The energy inside that building that night. I remember Develope literally running to the stage when they called his name. He did that you cant get fresher and everybody went crazy!!!!good times!!!
I luv the newschool era dj's from the 90's , they all have that flava and the true technical skills working with real dusty vinyls on the decks...that's real Turntablism.
He mastered that intro. You don't hear...or haven't heard anyone else diss every other competitor in another contest. Who else had good wordplay like this? Craze, Noize...anyone else?
Very nice set, and sickly creative, I think it was a tad bit sloppy at times but well though out , dj dummie still hold it down, he doesnt really get the limelite like the others
It was actually 7 djs...Alejuan was the Kansas DMC regional champ that year....then he dissed Develop, Craze, Do Boy, Shortkut, Kuttin Kandi, and Slyce
You can search all the new age dmc sets with all the imaginable technology and not one will be as impressive. He used phrases, patches and scratches to do what battle djs do. Watch and learn "button pushes + cue pointers" = yawn. This! Is djing. And only did a little drag scratch at the end. Unreal genuine skill and practice right here. Wow.
i remember watching a zebra battle tape, forgot what year but a guy named fresh was wearing the same exact outfit and same style routine. Half of his routine was disses and the other half was headnodic beat juggles with body tricks. Well anyways just wondering if you knew if there from the same crew?

24 years later. Still one of the best battle routines ever.
One of the most underrated DMC sets.

Exactly!!!!
THANK YOU I BEEN SAYING THAT FOR YEARS

3rd place smh should've been first
It's Crazy 2 me how kidz get all up one mans nutz, disrespectful, Craze was mad good but he's not the be all and end all.
I remember when my VHS of this show came.. I was blown away at the talent that year.. Dummy and Craze blew the roof off

The crowd responses during the intro disses is amazing!!
A guy who deserves way more recognition than he's had. Fuckin awesome set.
This is still one of my fav battle routines i've seen in a long while.
Outside of Craze, this is the most memorable set in the competition.
i love the crowds reaction at 5:26. Always gives me chills too
Freebird one of the best juggles and stage performance control I’ve ever seen.
Here in 2021. Legendary Set
Should have won!!!!! One of the best & most entertaining sets EVER
word cee, look at us old folks checking back in on this one years later haha.....
Truth.
13 years on and still one of the best DMC sets ever.
he called out every body there..thats a battle
Craze wiped him.
I remember being there at the NY Regionals that year when that last part of the routine was used...I knew he was going to win that regional then especially with the We'll always love Dummy routine...tight.

This was Irving plaza NYC August 15th 1998
I was their that night . Amazed
Omg what!
I was there😅
DUMMY REMINDS ME SO MUCH OF ROC RAIDA......
2019 and this set by Dummy is just off the charts! Can’t believe how good it is!
One of my favorite routines of all time.
I luv the newschool era dj's from the 90's , they all have that flava and the true technical skills working with real dusty vinyls on the decks...that's real Turntablism.
One of if not the best routine ever wow how'd I miss this dummy.
最高です。 クレイズとのバトルでこのDJを好きになりました🍀😊
The absolute best intro in a competition EVER lol. I had the vhs of this in 98.
One of the coldest diss intros in DMC history, even with the minor errors, its still cold.🥶
IM STILL WATCHING THIS DUDE 1998 WAS DOPE BECAUSE THERE WERE NO COMPUTERS.....
this was a sick routine - original and smart with the lyrics and all that
Still one of my favorite routines.
When I had the tape, this set always had me geeking out. Especially with the intro calling out some of the other djs.
Absolutely insane. Still got this on video
When he did that Candy Girl, that was sick!!!
Wow !!! 2016 dude you rock
This year looks very competitive, one of the best.
this guy is just great
One of the most thought out routines and dissed his competitors 👍🏻
I remembered Fresh when I first met him in Richmond...that little brother had straight heat in his sets.
He mastered that intro. You don't hear...or haven't heard anyone else diss every other competitor in another contest. Who else had good wordplay like this? Craze, Noize...anyone else?
DJ Dummy one of the best
The puffy juggle... bruh
clean as fuck!!!
Right!!!!
Most epic set in the history of DMC
😂
This was real djing, showmanship and mcing at the same time. Totally agreed about no computers and he had no headphones.
Yer but the other side of the coin is can he beat keep like John Digweed ?
This is absolutely insane.
Wicked routine very entertaining
thank u alot
I was here and when he did that Candy Girl part I lost it! Even tho i'm a huge 5th platoon fan.
KILLING!!!!!
Amazing.
That's wut I'm talkin' bout, mad skillz..
Killed it
yea they were definately part of the same crew 12" Assasins. LS-One (DMX's DJ) and Ruckus were also members.
Dummy is dope.”Period”
CLASSIC ~!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯💯💯💯💯💯💯
Crazes intro was well clever but dummy just had that b-boy battle flavour to the disses
Craze was yo im here and I'm about to blow up intro dummy was pure diss's
G.O.D.
God of D.J.
@rhymezgalore Dummy's intro was epic...he went in on EVERYBODY In that battle, they dont do it like that no more
yoooooo!!!! look at dummy go he was even on fire then.
Ohh my my DJ that was farking crazyyy...
dam he covers everyone!!
yeah i agree
Dissing your opponent with wordplay was the best.
Very nice set, and sickly creative, I think it was a tad bit sloppy at times but well though out , dj dummie still hold it down, he doesnt really get the limelite like the others
yo that routine was SICKKKKKK! if it weren't for craze and shorkut, he would've won!
This is all pre-SERATO, HATERS!
It was actually 7 djs...Alejuan was the Kansas DMC regional champ that year....then he dissed Develop, Craze, Do Boy, Shortkut, Kuttin Kandi, and Slyce
You can search all the new age dmc sets with all the imaginable technology and not one will be as impressive. He used phrases, patches and scratches to do what battle djs do. Watch and learn "button pushes + cue pointers" = yawn. This! Is djing. And only did a little drag scratch at the end. Unreal genuine skill and practice right here. Wow.
Pretty dope but the pinnacle of that phrasing was DJ Noize when he won the worlds in 96
@@gaffle-411 DJ Noize was the pinnacle at that shit my days
its all good homey!
Funny how they kept insisting on doing bodytricks,instead of just doing the mix...?
Best wordplay ever!
The LOX - We'll Always Love Big Poppa
@djdonniewoo wasn't that 1999 world finals? I was there too! Dope!
his word play is sickkkkkk
god damn that was good lol
ol skool shit names and cuttn oh good stuff
He murdered that
Dope routine and he would've placed higher but them needles weren't workin for him.. He's the only dj I seen use ortofons in a battle.
" I make dough but don't call me Dough Boy " -> Ice Cube : Check Yo Self (remix).
in case you didnt know he called out dj doughboy. as he did every body else on the roster.
Damn!!!!!
tough breaks for Dummy. He should've did the Dj Swamp and set those turntables on fire.
holy fuckin shit...this guy is incredible...i knew he was sick when i saw him at the roc raida tribute at bbkings...just plain insanity!!!!
That gangstarr juggle!!!
What track please?
Dr Doolittle part was different 💯💯💯
it's Das Efx "Jussumen" Pete Rock remix
Where is from the " CRAZY " at 0:52 ?? Roxanne Shanté maybe ?
和田樹 it comes from Mc lyte
Troy Mills thanks

Great routine it just wasn’t as clean as the others! Still dope that was a great battle!!! Craze him and short are all dope!
Dummy is the truth
Without a doubt one of the most creative routines I´ve ever seen! Mad respect. Anyone knows the records he´s using at 4:05?
Doug E Fresh...

2:44...Forget about it....
Real DJs have wax experience.
