Grumpy OG's w/ Dj CRAZE

- Опубликовано: 4 мар 2024
- Finally got the chance to sit down and have a few drinks and talk about the good Ol' days. I'm talking about MIA's own DMC Champion DJ CRAZE. We been a supporter and super proud of his genius on the wheels of steel. He's been part of CHP's journey in the music game with him doing cuts on our first album. Just another family member shooting the shit with us!!!!!!!
I co-founded ran the Worldwide ITF Battles out of SF for many years and I'm pretty stoked to say that Craze won his first "big" Title with our Federation and after that year (98) there was just no stopping him. His reign was pretty insane.
Are you talking about the Western Hemisphere scratching title? That was before his US DMC title?
By the way, if Craze hadn't had needle trouble in the '97 US Final, do you think he would've beaten Slyce and Total Eclipse?
I'm talking about the US DMC Final in '97.
Met Craze at an Airport lounge in Chicago about 6 years ago. He was super cool. Talked about scratching and one of his routines.
Knowledge in the sense of Cultivation. “Each One, Teach One”.
That's Q all day. The teacher.
There lots of DJ out there that could mix n scratch n through a party n turntablist too is all about having fun but why craze had to call out the teacher the grand master DJ Q bert A OG before him is all about having fun n keep learning n doing new routines be creative more n more no respect full of himself so sad
We know craze has the skills, and one of the best to ever do it… ever! but he doesn’t need to mention qberts name. It’s like apples and oranges. Stop. Lmao
Yup
That showed no class smh The facial remarks shows he's clearly jealous and bitter the way he said "He's a fukin geek, in a battle I'll smoke him" That was like when The Game said he's way better than eminem. Craze is the equivalent of Benzino at this point 🤣
@@kelliepastellie8619 That's an asinine comparison considering Craze won 3 SINGLE DMC championships to Q-berts 1 and both are in the DMC hall of fame. Nice try though, hater.
It definitely sounds like craze got a personal vendetta. All us DJs Geek out on our craft. If you're any good at least you do So to me him saying that Qs a geek... he's really dissing himself. But Beefs are part of the hip-hop culture so if it's going down we need it to happen. I Say 1 battle ...2 segments... One straight scratching & 1 juggling. Probably end in a tie so let the audience decide vs declaring a winner like they do at some these emcee battles.
The mom's basement hater. Been hating on other DJs since 98
Orlando loves CRAZE.
All hail DJ Praze lol .. u is dope my dude stay humble
Craze has history for talking mad sh!t when he's lean. He started talking ish about x-ecutioners early in his career and afterwards said he was taken out of context.
Craze is a great showman but he's not the best selector, doesn't mix for longer than 2- 4 bars for example.
As a showman that combines all the elements, he's without doubt dope, and amongst the greats! However humility has yet to develop with his maturity.
As a battle DJ, Kentaro would be a good battle because Kentaro has deep record knowledge, he's a dope selekta and can hang with the trix, juggles and cuts. Q though is on some other level, that shit is blasphemy Craze, you know he would wipe your azz two times over and put you to sleep in a scratch battle.
I say Craze and Q-Bert both compete in the DMC battle next year, for the 40th Anniversary of the competition. That would give them a year to put their sets together.
Went to see him perform live 20 ears ago in NYC. Went up on stage while he was playing, and I rolled an L and blazed it with him. He murmured the set while hitting the L.
Ok Craze is dope, but who here has ever seen GetLive rock a room.? That man is a true party rocker. 🎉
1:42:31 Is what you came for 😂
Never really listened to Craze talk before and just now seeing hes full of himself. Reminds me of Jon Jones easily butt hurt if anyone but himself is being talked about. Still a beast though but damn ego runs the show here.
Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! He's Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!
It don't matter how wasted you are. You should not talk on top of a legend.
Yup
😂😂😂 " there's a guy name Qbert"
💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yeah it was in Orlando at a music convention we performed at
.. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 that North Carolina story was something else ☠️☠️☠️
This is FUEGO🔥 #Hometeam🙌🏽 #SaluteTheDJ🫡
Craze dissing Q is like Afrika Bambata dissing Kraftwerk or Anthony Rother dissing Egyptian Lover. It'd be pure stupidity. smh
This dude is soo buthurt to be the best dj of all time. He gets sad when other people claim to be the best and he feels like he has to let them know. Bro calm down and let your skills do the talking. Calling Q out is insane. We all know you can battle and put a set together but Q is the most innovative when it comes to scratching
Facts
Craze is a sucka duck dj. Wack mumble rap repper
man i'd play after him, before him, b2b with him on some drum and bass in front of anybody..would be a damn dream.
You 🥷’s are out of your Minds saying Craze is the best DJ. 😂
Scratch Pickles are and will be the GOAT on Turntables.
Period
That's word --- Q has inspired millions more people than Craze. I give it up to Allies, I used to hang a lot with Giz in the late 90s and Shot used to kick it with the homies when he in the West. Mad respect and props to them...but even they were inspired heavy on ISP. If they were to battle today...no disrespect but ISP would shut the place down. Easy. --- Craze, is cool though he's more of like DMC type vs a ITF type. Q on the other hand is a DMC champ many times over as well as an ITF champ. So, he's both. --- Ultimately, Q is sort of the Bruce Lee of Tablism... he unlocked the secrets and taught the masses. Bringing knowledge and is style cultivating others. --- I was even pissed when he started doing that because all these little kids were getting way better way faster. But what can you do? IT's all part of the evolution and hopefully inspire to do more and innovate more etc. Q has definitely PUSHED the culture forward even till this day. ---- FACTS
Q will smooooooke Craze. DJ Craze-e?
Hell yeah I putt all my money on Q
@@thehunterofdeath2180
Nah craze is more well rounded.
You guys need headphones and learn not to speak on each other
Bro ahut up and let craze talk, rule number 1 in doing an interview queston and let him answer smdh....
Q should send one of the little homies to battle Craze. Vlad Dufmeiser, Punt Rock, or Lampchop would all be good choices to battle. He should send his scratch band quartet from DIY Scratching Vol 2 to battle, with a composed song made from scratch!! 🔥
El CHIVO 🐐
This podcast was almost unbearable- this host needs to let Craze speak! Overdoing it on the ‘active listening’!
Yup. These dudes with these podcasts don't know how to interview. I get it's supposed to be somewhat casual but people are listening to hear craze talk, not hear about how the other dude eats ass. Kinda dumb.
This is the 2nd Craze appearance where the alcohol does the talking. #teamQbert And E and Acid is candyflipping. I got it on the record Craze saying DJ Hype out of the U.K. (Pound for pound best DnB turntablist) inspired him. Vinyl is the only way to exhibit true supremacy as a turntablist too imo.
Q also did acid. He even told a story about leaving the party because he was too high. Even Babu that investigated the term turntablism uses dvs. GMF use dvs. Craze use sync as he said.many times even in this interview. Get over it. Technology is to be used and push shit forward. If not for DVS the turntable would be not used for DJing at all long time ago as records weren't pressed that much so to play certain tracks you had to cut your own dub plates which are expensive
@@scupakus ehh maybe I’m just tied to the roots. It’s not uncommon dope shit turns whack due to mainstream technology.
Mixing is a rare occurrence in hip hop when blending 16 bars, but can't be learned in a week. That's ridiculous. In house music it's a skill, especially with vinyl. Trying to mix 1-4 vinyl records for several minutes, blending the tracks to sound like one track at a time is skill. Nowadays sync can be used as a great tool if you're blending 4-6 tracks all at once. It helps with being more creative on the mixer. Just pointing this out from a house music DJ's perspective.
You could learn mixing pretty quick. It's not rocket science. 4 turntables at the same time it's quite a skill thou. But few actually mix real vinyl and CDs has BPM meters for about 2decades
Went to see him perform live 20 ears ago in NYC. Went up on stage while he was playing, and I rolled an L and blazed it with him. He murmured the set while hitting the L. Q hasn’t done anything that made me want to see him live. Q has basically been irrelevant for decades. I still watch all the craze videos.
Q's been irrelevant for decades? Every time you hear craze...know that Q inspired him. Therefore, Q lives within and among the inspiration. --- Q is more of a skratch grand master, 33 mason type. --- He's innovating ideas and styles. Every event or little clip I saw him, he'd had a little new trick up his sleeve. --- I just saw him a in 2020, again. He had some new ill style. --- then everybody bites... thus, he lives within all those that he's inspired. I'm 100 certain he's inspired millions more than Craze... (millions bro...millions)
@@user-zl6ck9wf7b I’m well aware. That still doesn’t mean that he’s been relevant. That’s because he hasn’t. Q is a 1 trick pony. Not a well rounded dj. He’s great at scratching, but that’s 1 trick. U paying to watch him do that for a hour?
Per 1:42:32
Seen Craze live multiple times and been disapointed everytime. He caters to cornball commercial cats and plays the latest pop mumble crap. - He does the same 2 minute DMC routine with that Terrorist Instrumental beat with that little behind the back BS that anyone can learn in 5 minutes then gets so drunk he can't even mix correct but gets a pass for it because he once was dope back in the 90s. SMH 🌽🌽🌽
Who is this René he keeps mentioning?

1:42:32 Giving off Benzino vibes. Craze got no class speaking out of pocket like that. Great amazing DJ but just like they say "NEVER meet your heroes" 🙄
1. That amount of shrooms + acid is fucking nuts lol
2. Sync button only enables Djs like Craze to do more crazier things (mixing is one less thing to worry about during the set) but of course new Djs should learn the fundamentals
3. If my turntable gawds battle let it be fun and friendly but also nasty haha
Yes, the best DJ in the world!
Y'all know that Craze is part of a crew right? No love for A-TRAK or Klever? The Allies are all amazing DJ's. Craze is surely one of the g.o.a.t.'s but he has lost some battles. All this arrogance is the only reason I'm not a bigger fan
Do you know any hiphop legend that wasn t cocky? It s part of the game
@@leopoldofregoli3817 You need to learn the big difference between being "cocky" when specifically engaged in "battling" and just being arrogant in your own off time sir. The reason why Ronda Rousey is a legend, but also a notorious dick IRL
Shame after all these years he still seems like an arrogant tosser. I wouldn’t mind but I think he’s right in what he’s saying. If you put him and Q in front of a crowd, the crowd would probably vote for him because it’s the showmanship, and the beat juggling with your a@!hole that the average fan enjoys… But, why he couldn’t just explain that in a normal and humble way is beyond me. I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have picked up a record if it wasn’t for Q and his influence. It’s definitely apples and oranges with Q admitting many times that he doesn’t “battle” anymore and has never been big on juggling. There is no way in a scratching battle he beats Q though, let’s be clear about that. Very grown men who have both had a huge impact on the culture and Craze still acting like a 15 year old. Kendrick said it best… be humble, sit down. 👎
Who the f is René?!!

Twista is better than Eminem
Extremely talented dj. And extremely arrogant, unfortunately. These two things don't have to go hand in hand, Craze.
did qbert send you here?
Craze is a cornball. "True story... true story... "
I respect both craze and Qbert. Qbert even now talk about Craze with respect. There's certain humbleness in Qbert attitude and Craze just lacks it. That being said both are great djs. If I wanted 101 lessons I'd go to Q for scratch lessons and Craze for general DJ lessons. It's not my beef and I just hope the DJ culture benefits from this beef as otherwise is unnecessary. @@safaribeats85
Not arrogance, it's confidence. And it's completely earned. Dudes top notch.
He kinda earned the right to be tho. I wouldnt say arrogant but he knows hes top tier. I think the majority of fire artists who are upper echelon know theyre in a whole other league and the OGs kinda put in the work to carry on however. No diff from successful rockstars or rappers and how they carry themselves... cept alot of musicians havent really earned it like craze.
Craze was cool in the 90s but 2001 on did nothing special. - No innovation no dope production, just the same DMC routine over and over for the last 25 years mixed in with corny electronic and mumble rap garbage. Dood full of himself and should settle down.
True dat..Q is a Inovator guy and he smokes this fool anytime YO! Guy is so arrogant and full of himself like hes a god or sum shit. Like wtf man, chillll da funk down, smh😅😂😂
He actually made a couple great routines in last decade. He's first to achieve 3 solo DMC in a row. He's truly great party rocker. But yes some humbleness wouldn't hurt him
@@scupakus : Agree. IMO Craze is totally still relevant today and 100% a party rocker. I would hate for anyone to think that fans of turntablism are trying to shut him down. I personally want to see him grow as a person and artist, which is why people are calling out this outlandish level of arrogance.
DJ Craze = lame
Just cuz you're a good turntablist doesn't mean you're a good dj. A dj ...is someone who's playing music that's it!! And then are categories of dj...turntablist, scratching dj, juggling dj etc..
This interview was hard to watch as much as I wanted to. Let craze talk bro, you over speak him and cut him off a lot.
DJ Craze, very talented turntablist! But his mixing is 6/10 and his music selection is not that great...ive been checking some of his mix sessions...besides the scratching n juggling....😂
Yup! Seen Craze live multiple times and been disapointed everytime. He caters to cornball commercial cats and plays the latest pop mumble crap. - He does the same 2 minute DMC routine with that Terrorist Instrumental beat with that little behind the back BS that anyone can learn in 5 minutes then gets so drunk he can't even mix correct but gets a pass because he once was dope back in the 90s.
