Do people understand what he just did? He ended his set with live needle drops on time !!! This was one of the dopest live routines you will ever see. Now you see why he is legendary. He was not pushing buttons, turning to the laptop, but just rocking cuts on time. This was ridiculous, but imagine him doing this live in a crazy environment in the late 70s and early '80s in the Bronx or other NY nightclub, he is amazing !!!
At one point the photographer was just looking in awe... didn’t take pictures for like the last 3 minutes of the mix 😂
Thats the HIP HOP legend Joe Conzo!
Who is GrandWizzard Theodore? The reason turntables are alive... and we still have vinyl in existence.
, Kool Herc, GrandWizzard Theodore, and Flash. The Architects.
@@horrorflikmusickofficialyo1014 Also let us not forget Kool Moe Dee and The Treacherous Three, the Godfathers of the modern day flow that somehow got us here today and continue to be the standard of real lyricism. Kool Moe Dee Big Ups Always! Peace God
These days there's a lot of Cuttin N Scratchin' with no Rhyme or reason. IT'S Supposed to make Rhythmic Sense. LIKE THIS!!!!
Say word
So true.
@@mrsoshadabaadman so trueee, im so inspired
That is sad all think they know all about it the art is lost
DJ MUSA Happens. Happens. Bye. Steven. Cta. Hi. Yes.
not only the inventor back in the day, but still a master in his own rights.
This dude is something else, today's rappers should be putting into his pension for his contribution to Hip Hop so he can live comfortably when he retires, which hopefully be never. I could watch his routines all day long.
That was nice.didn't know Theodore can still play like that.he was one of the best back in the day.

Nothing but finesse, no button pushing or anything. These new jacks don’t understand these lessons.
he be pressin tween 33 and 45 at the kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing sample tho
For sho bro!👍👍👍
Exactly 💪🏽
Yeah the button pushing and little pinwheels aren’t even the same thing. It’s mixing, but not scratching. This is a completely other level.
When Theordore was a young kid..the older guys in his nieghborhood used 2 say dont let that guy near the turntables..now you know!!!!👏👏...
The king of rock and the wu tang blend was off the hook.this art work for real.
If it was recorded live, no one would believe it was someone actually spinning wax!
what is the wu tang song he blended king of rock with? that part was so crazy
Yeah, my favorite part of the whole mix display.
@@ClamGaming-th2wt”Wu Tang Clan Ain’t Nothing to F*ck With”.
If this video gets taken down, I'll have to check into a mental hospital.
I gotta to say this is the first time I have seen any live performances from the Grand Wizzard but heard his named mentioned a lot in hip hop songs. This dude is dope as hell. I have sent Jazzy Jeff, Grand Master D, Mix Master, Premo but this dude is doing some amazing shit.
His beat selection is beyond dope thank you Theo for w/o you we wouldn't be here
I would like to see these so called “DJ’s” today who have never held a record do this! They would take a year to figure out the height, weight, anti-skate, and how a needle works
Him and Grandmaster Flash were the ones that put it all together. Masters of the 1 and 2. Then all the rest of the djs came along. I myself got into it. Still at it. Was inspired by the best djs out there. Keep on spinning. From the Bronx is where it all began. Yeahhh!!!
Dont forget kool herc
CHILDREN GROW WOMAN PRODUCE MEN GO WORK AND SOME GO STEALING !!!
@@wavyb1629 he invited the genre of hip Hop
@@wavyb1629 hip Hop was born right in the Bronx South Bronx were I'm from and I've been to many grandmaster flash block party back at the park in The 80s Good times
@@rogerbowen5600 everybody's got to make a livin!
He Evel Knieveled that set: It starts off great and then you know it’s going to to go wrong at some point but when it’s over you know you just witnessed something glorious.
That end was just pure nastiness!!!!!
Bring back the DJs please
"DJing is only about choosing the right song on the right time"
GWT: "I am about to end this man's whole career"
The Recovery and Improvisation GWT displayed at the end is the essence of what Being A Grand Wizard is. A straight party Rocker.
Props new school generation for recognizing the pioneer!!! Grand wizard Theodore and the Fantastic romantic 5 MCs was one of my favorite groups...
Damn he is so good. Like effortlessly so.
I have been into this shit since I was 12 years old. Nobody could ever fuck with Theodore. Dat nigga Niiicce
I remember watching him go at it for hours at the basketball courts. This man is A true legend.
Do they actually know who they're in the presence of??? Part of the Holy Trinity of Dj's Herc, Flash and the Grand Wizard Theodore
Dude picked some more obscure joints. I suppose I shouldn't be shocked, given how important this man is to the culture.
The scratch creator 👑
A true legend. I had his album live convention 80.
Putting a set together that's fascinating to hear is not a lost art as long as cats like this man are still around.
Yeah GW Theodore were 1 of the best DJ's back in the day no doubt and maybe to this day.I would not doubt.Glad to see him still doing it.#Salute!!
It is always a pleasure watching the creator Grand Wizard Theodore!
Look at how smooth the hands and fingers handle the records , technique is off the chain
Salute ....best all the way thru ...favorite start around 5:21 point...needle-drop game is vicious. Peace
And here is 2021, but I still like these brakes and scratches.
The reason at the age of 20 I bought my first pair of Stanton TX 80s and Vestax mixer and scratched the shit of the tables to a point I melted the motors inside, broke 4 pairs of Ortofon Scratch needles , damaged 3 pairs of faders, damaged one pair of vintage Technics speakers from too much bass , but I learned how to scratch, and my first records learning to beat juggle and scratch were Buffallo Gals by Michael McLaren, 1983, all thanks to Godfather of Turntablism , DJ Grand Wizard Theodore. Big respect to you Master and all DJ pioneers from the 1970s. Thank you for keeping this art alive. Oh btw, sold my tables years ago but kept all my 500 records to this day, in case I get this feeling to spin the wheel again. I love this music, period.
yes yes yall my cuz the one and only Grandwizard Theodore the most humble person i know with skills you go Tater lol
Very impressive & that's an understatement!
this is just great, watching a legend still rocking the tables like there is no tomorrow!!!
5:00 call the ambulance, cause he's about to get real ill!
Old skooler here. That was incredible.
My brain just melted how the fuck?! He needle dropped on point !!!! Respect to the god
Not to say he stayed on beat when the record fell.
This Is The Way It Started Back In The Bronx In The 70’s. Thanks For The Memories
Mr. Theodore
THIS AMAZING GREAT REAL HIP-HOP PIONEER OVERALL WELL ROUNDED IZ DOPE 👌 ESPECIALLY THAT ILLEST NEEDLE DROPPING OFF THE MEAT RACK 🔘🎶🔘🎶🏆👑👈😎👊💥
anyone who thinks older cats lose their touch needs to watch this. Continuing to innovate til this day. That shit at the end with the needle moving was bananas.
The true intentor of the SCRATCH!!!!
No doubt, dude was definitely intent on it.
Lol....*inventor
baby scratch...
This invention is compared to the invention of popcorn, done on accident, but turned out great.
@@the9-2-5outlawdoestech9 Flash says otherwise. They worked long and hard to figure it out according to Flash.
I wanna meet this man and give him a hug to thank him for wut he created
9:14 the record falls off his head, hits the 45rpm button and he just rolls with it!
This is beyond.. I can't even.. no.. no.. damn!!!!!
Beautifully performed piece by a great musician. I'm sure hours of hard work went into creating and playing the mix flawlessly for the performance.
Played through even though record fell on the turntable🤔and kept it on beat.💥👍🏽
BOW DOWN and take notes....!!It's the original,it's ON BEAT,it's funky,it's the Grand Wizard,from the Boogie Down...NYC stand up...This man is still rocking it out,decades later..
Four all the youngsters, there would be no Lil Wayne or any of us without these Godfathers.
Outstanding talent. Skills that pay the bills!!
Before 100 dollar portable studios we had the HipHop DJ
one word. TURNTABLEISM!
one word Legend...
That's My Hip Hop Fam Right There! That's the reason he's called Grand Wizard!
This is absolutely insaaaane.
Love that improv when the wax fell of his head
What a beast! He still scratches like that?
damn man! TRUE KING OF DJ"S !!!bluntsdown
Going tf off. Takes me back to the best days.
VERY NICE :) should still have this type of dmc championships VINYL with NO LAPTOP > don't get me wrong turntablism with a laptop is still proper
no one was entering using all vinyl - the battle would have died out
:(
5:26 HE GO OFF
Great to see the LEGEND who invented skratching continue to destroy ish!!!
GrandWizzard Theodore's skills are much greater than Grandmaster Flash's
Well the student usually becomes better than the teacher..
Yeah well Flash taught him all the basics of his theory and the Theodore took it to new heights. There will be no Theodore without Flash.
@@Donrudo Theodore would have been greater than Flash even without Flash! He would have found a way and someone else to learn from because of his drive. I'm just saying Flash never got better than just the basics! I love GMF tho.
@@thekid26000 I don't know if Flash is so basic why is he always invited to the best festivals in the world. If that is the case I have a great shot of main staging Tomorrowland.
@@Donrudo Listen...whatever functions Flash is invited to still doesn't negate the fact that his skillz on the wheelz are basic. I Dj'd for many years and know this for a fact. We can't take away that he is one of the 1st but i'm just saying he never got better than the 80's Dj. Shout out to Flash! Much love!
Grandmaster Flash, protege with dope hip hop beats. Every record on point. No scratching on wak beats; just soul and rhythm. Needle dropping, dope.
Love how he acts like, he fucked up, but killed it. A true master of his craft.
Respex, Big Upz, & Mad Love to the DJ... Im so appreciative of these awesome videos, its videos like these, that really open up doors for me, & the knowledge behind the craft...... 👍👊💪🙏😎
Holy damn that ending was wild
First time im seeing what he looks like. He's nice with it.. And is he wearing a turntable watch? And @ 8:00 whoa.. never seen that before!
Salute to the GrandWizzard
wow, all time best clip I've seen
Amazing what this man can do with two turntables. The best ever.
his scratching is like butter. so fucking smooth and flaeless. how in the? what in the fuck did i just watch. oh yeah, a legend. big ups!
no PC y'all. he really on those vinyls
Goodness. I used to live in the apartment over him on Boston Rd in the Bronx. He practiced a lot. He always did his thing.
from 6.30 is the best part
That was the craziest routine I've ever seen!!! True Master!
This man always leaves me speechless
one of the best one of the few.. that keep the real spirit the same old school alive
This dude is a master at needle dropping...even Flash said the Wizard been doing that since he was 12
this guy is insane
his style, amazing he has the feeling of the analog vinyl!!!! damm good.
Respect to Grand Wizzard Theodore. A sho' nuff foundational building block in the culture and music genre of hip hop.
Sick!!!
Just Plain Sick!!!!!
Salute To The Grandwizard!!
I remember shootin pool with this true gentleman back in the 90s(scotland uk).
There is know man, than the man Grand wizard Theodore the true, Wild Style cut Master of them all...!! Nice show down on what this man can deliver on point ever time and dont date on the dopest beats I salute you sir you are my master and always will be.
Bless you 🙏🏾🤛🏿👊🏾🤜🏿King of old skool..!! "Rock the house ya"
Ich verstehe nicht das die alten Djs sich nicht weiter entwickelt haben 😳 Das was sie machen ist nicht mehr up too date 🤷♂️
Trotzdem Respekt ✌️
Maneiro demaissssss ♥
a god on the wheelsofsteel
I'd heard about Theodores needle drop technique from the Grandmaster Flash video where he explains Theo was his protege, but hadn't heard him doing it live. It makes the variations of scratching look like basic techniques!
1980 @ The Club Fantasia, South Jamaica Queens, NY. The Grand wizard came through with the echo chamber and the cleanest & Sharpest cuts on two turntables. He would make a song sound totally different catching the cuts that had you like "WOW" no wonder he is called "The Grand Wizard"! He deserves that title, no doubt about it.. A pioneer... and I was there....! Old school hip hop bring it back 🎤..
Dude just picked up the needle and drop it multiple times to different parts of the record at the ending song. Wow.
he invented that when he was 10 or so
Growing up in the bx in the 70's i always thought you were better than flash.
classic master!! dope
Yeah, RYTHM! That was nice!
No DJ can touch this guy never.
Seen it for myself first hand in his apt in the Bronx in '77!!
Theodore, flash, red alert, jazzy Jeff, kid Capri, Djibouti premier where the best to ever do it......and not necessary in this order. NYC did it BEST.
4:42 he’s like “oh... oh you just wait”
Simply outstanding!👍👍👍
