    This Hip Hop week on MTV was the reason i asked my mom to buy me turntables! This one moment in history changed the direction of my entire life and i'm thankful for it! 19 years later and i'm still rocking the decks and i'll never give em up!

    IMHO, JMJ was a humble and titanic DJ. When Run and D. said that "He's on his way to be best DJ in the U.S. of A," it may have sounded like a cheap rhyme, but at that time J WAS the best DJ in the U.S. of A. R.I.P. J.

      naw you grew up in the right era. Let me tell you, when Flash started doing this in the 70s he broke every single rule a DJ was suppose to follow. He let you hear the queue up which is the scratches you hear from the discs.. you weren't suppose to do that. you weren't suppose to scratch the record like that. he was the only person on Earth when he started this.. this dude broke conventional thinking. More than likely you wouldn't have been in the right place at the right time, with the right frame of mind (Non-mainstream).. cuz the mainstream in his hood rejected him. no clubs wanted him because he scratched the records he touched the records, he let the audience hear the queue up.. Grandmaster Flash is an outlier and anyone alive in The Bronx in the late 70s who were fans or into this were all outliers too.

    Flash did not invent the dj mixer cue for the first time. Disco mixers already had that as early as 1971 and somewhere around this time radio DJs and studios were also making use of pre-fader listening. He appears to have come up with it on his own, though, but others had already done it. He did, however, take Kool Herc's "merry go round" technique of playing just the break sections of single records back to back and combined it with disco club DJ Frank Grasso's juggling two of the same records multiple times, which lengthened the same short breaks sections Herc had used and improved the sense of timing. Flash also added his student's (Grand Wizzard Theodore) new scratching technique and very successfully integrated it into his own beat juggling. Flash either created, created again, or combined from others a substantial part of what became turntablism. The disco, funk, and early hip hop scenes appear to have been very fluid and fed off each other, though. BTW, Kool Herc was also one of the central people to bring traditional rapping and rhyming into this NY scene.

Jay literally cut Ed off and was like wait, let me pay my respects to all the great ones before me!!! My generation, (This generation) somehow was not taught that golden lesson, and that's why they are not respected by anyone but themselves and their peers. Which is wack!! Back in the days u had the youth giving love to the og's and the OGs appreciating the youth! That's how it should be. But oh well!
