      I want to give everyone a history lesson there is a tape with dh cash mo ney in 85 doing that same transformer live remember him and Jeff were a dj group at the time called twins of spin and jeff copied his style from cash so dj cash money has always been overshadowed by jeff but jazzy learned his style from cash he even taught jeff the rock the bells breakdown on one turntable which jeff does at a lot of his shows but credit to jeff for introducing to the world what philly djs were doing

    I bought this tape in 87 and been amazed by this track ever since!!! Dj Jazzy Jeff absolutely MURDERS this set!! He goes the hardest from 3:17-4:23 the transformer scratch he does @ 3:40 then again @ 4:04 was unheard of in 1986!!
    It sounds like he is scratching both decks at same time from 4:45-4:54...Crazy!
    All this with 2 turntables and a mixer NO technology 100% skills!

      Correction philly had good rappers but was overshadowed by the djs because the dj culture was real strong in philly back then

      Imagine if it was Dj Jazzy Jeff and Rakim that were the duo..Paid In Full would've been even more insane. The best DJ and best rapper at the time..would've been dope.
