Can't believe I was 14, now 40 years later, still think DJs are one of the greatest thing ever to exist, never got over it, still love it as much as the first day I heard them in high school 🏫🏫🏫🏫
New viewers: I recommend watching this thing all the way to the end. If you were to call if after Round 1, then yes, X-Ecutioners absolutely dominated this battle. But towards the end, it became less of a DJ battle, and more of just a big freeform scratch jam session between two different crews from two different countries, and that's what I appreciate about it. I think the Russian crew knew they were outclassed, but I can see the respect showing through from both parties, and the determination from the Russian crew to step up their game every round, despite being at an early disadvantage. This is a battle I will recommend to people in the future, for sure.
I dont know, I thought the Russians had better sense of rythem and their scratching wasn’t as obnoxiously repetitive to listen to. Actually enjoyed listening to the Russians, found I was forcing myself to listen to the Xecutioners
@@mro4ts457 mmm maybe. But the Xs are like out competition so they're more free to enjoy themselves. I liked Total Eclipse turn-tablism for example that is more based on experience like the other Xs anyway..
Russian Scratch Crew had technique but it was very clear they were beaten by a very seasoned and cohesive dj team. Xecutioners knew how to read the room and used scratch techniques that enhanced the flow of the beat. Best dudes on the Russian Scratch Crew was the dude in the middle and DJ Worm. The other dude on the end has skills but was a bit too hyper. Russian Scratch Crew hasn't fully gelled yet... but if they keep battling, they will get there. It was a good battle.
@@georgesheriffsylva3776 they did a few times, but yeah the x-ecutioners won except when one of them tried to crush the rock the bells samples and beats, he totally kept fumbling with the beat and miss-aligning the samples for a while there lol.. But what's the point in picking the faults, just use it as a learning experience as to what works, plus doing a bit of scratching myself sometimes you do just not feel it and don't have finger dexterity and mobility and just feel slow and clunky.. Anyhow, I get your point, the x-ecutioners dead on won man..
Its a battle. Don't feel bad for them. This is hip hop. Stop being so soft and enjoy the art and competition. master the art. THANK YOU EXECUTIONERS FOR KEEPING IT TRUE.
Amazing to see such a high level of skill combined with years of diligent hard work and dedication to a successful performance... Then you have the Xecutioners, who obviously aren't human.
Офигенно! Молодцы все👍 рад за молодёжь, дай бог нашим странам дружить и только так соревноваться в исскустве, спорте, музыке и т. д., а не с оружием в руках....
Big Shouty going out to Russia for putting this event together so very nice and to all those who made the over seas trip. Great job win or lose. RESPECT GIVEN 📙👊📘
@@OGRYDA In the big picture there are no losers, but to be fair...the US won because they were able to get the crown hype which is what the DJ is suppose to do.
Most people can get along with others, regardless of where they are from. The problem we face is our governments, international bankers, and particular religous types that are ruining this world. They keep us divided and will never give peace the chance it deserves. Until our governments are overthrown, bankers are jailed, and religous extremists are no longer, we will never see world peace. What a shame, this planet could be so kind and beautiful instead of war, hunger, and boy bands.
Yeah, we all get along like this bro. People are way more civil than the media makes us out to be. It's terrible that a few voices can speak for a whole country/nation.
In my opinion, this was setup and called a battle on the forefront, but, in all actuality, this was a joining of nations under music. Clearly, there was no competition, that goes without saying, and no disrespect to the Russian DJ's. The exhibition, which is more of what it was, was done tastefully, and without dissing anyone, because, as we all know, real turntablists can shed one's ego with making the turntables talk, and the xecutioners know exactly how to do that very well. R. I. P. ROCK RIDA 4EVA Mixmaster Precise
Manny C Yeah, but that's not a serious "Fuck you". They are just having fun with them. I find it similar to battle rapping or maybe even roasting somebody. The respect is there, but it's also about the competition when it's actually going on. A lot of people seemed to get it, because they cheered or laughed.
Now I'm an old head because when last time I saw Rob Swift he was just a skinny dude. Since then it looks like he turned into the Incredible Hulk LOL💪😂
Anyone deep into the scratch scene probably knows him. Chinmachine is his name. Look him up if you haven't seen other videos of him. Really good new school scratcher.
Can't smash all opposition and prosecute different lifestyles and expect a vibrant creative scene to emerge, which would've been needed to topple the X-Ecutioners on state television.
What I found about hte x ecutioners was that their stuff was technically impressive but really unpleasurable to listen to. The white kids were actually scratching freestyle over beats. There's only so many times beat juggling can be impressive
15:18 what makes this Guy the best was his ability to keep his beat more stable and constant without too more of those confusing scorching that makes the audience to be lost.
The point of these competition is not only to mix and scratch, but to get the CROWD moving, motivated, shaking their heads, and dancincing. When you do this, then your good
Man.....X-ecutioners were one of the inspirations in the early 2000's.....back when it was all vinyl, Technics 1200, Shure M44 cartidges and a Vestax battle mixer.....I miss those days.....laptops killed the quintessential battle DJ
Loving X-ecutioners' first set, that whole flipping the rap lyrics to Russia and then dissing the opponent was such a simple, but dope way to start things.

I love it! They are all very talented! A great mix of the old teaching the new! Russians have come a long way in a short amount of time! Good for everyone!!!
Have watched this thousands of times ! Absolutely the fire competition! The MVP is Precision. DJ Total Eclipse and Rob Swift is the second best DJ. Russian Scratch Crew ‘s best DJ is Worm, and Chin Machine did a great job too. The only person which skills is not good enough is Monet. But respect for all the 6 DJs, hope to see their shows in the near future.
Everyone was dope as F. I thought X was a little more technically impressive but, I could bang my head way harder to the Russians. Sometimes less is more in my opinion. All were great though. I loved the entire video!
man i fucking shed tears watching this... I used to DJ with Vestax at Big Daddy's by UWF... i hate people calling themselves DJs and they have a computer on front of them... Get them headphones out and juggle, son!
6 amazing artists , showcasing pure talent. Have to give it to the X-Ecutioners though. They just have more experience. Plus you can tell from the records they picked they have a much better grasp of Hip Hop. I'd imagine the Russian DJ Crew would have more prep time since they didn't need to travel. The skill is there, but the picks weren't nearly as good. Definitely excited about the future, it's awesome to see Hip Hop global !
People don't understand obviously from what's in the comments if they say the X's were sloppy. This is a battle/fight/like go your hardest. Not a polished to perfection club set. If the Russians lost some of those backing tracks and played raw from what their bodies were capable of they would have the potential to leave a different impression. In my opinion they handicapped themselves for the sake of clean. The purple due killed his set, amazing work, different place different vibe though. This is a war lol. Everybody killed it though
The X crew definitely did an amazing job and the Russian crew did good I'm sure they learned a few things. But if I was a betting individual I bet they were really impressed with the kid in the purple jacket. That homie was destroying it. Nice to see everyone getting and having a good time👍🏼👍🏼 All of them are champions and hope they all had a great after party 👏👏👏👏👏
This was a great watch...The Ex came to battle...I feel and this is just my opinion: Russia just wanted to show their record collection..which was well executed but no true skills displayed besides scratch 101...needed more tricks, more mainstream tracks that both countries would know...but this was awesome to watch and congrats to both sides!!
id like to say 2 things, firstly : this is one of the most incredible and hypnotic audio/visual experience ever.. and secondly : I had no idea that the cast from "the big bang theory" were so talented?? or russian for that matter??
i have to applaud everyone who help make this happen. it's so great to see a small venue packed for an intimate turntablist head to head battle like this. especially in this year. it's usa vs russia right across from each other no bullshit involved just non stop competitive but respectful turntablism and i love it. great job and would love to see more of this format. is that rob swift or yoel romero?
Every good DJ has a dolid foundation built off of beat matching. You get that down I was told you can go crazy from there. Now I see that X-Ecutioners definitely have beat matching down.
After watching multiple Rob Swift DJ teaching vids over the last couple weeks, this was always going to be a wrap with that pedigree. But it's always good to watch the fourth degree black belts spar with the purple belts
this battle is epic. is beyond djing in itself, it goes more in depth if you can feel it. Russia is like doing it’s best and kicks it in a hard time, but than you see the x-ecutioners and is another world. it’s not necessarily on a good/bad level, or who’s best, is just great to watch the whole thing. That’s problably what’s good of competitions and hip-hop. Russia is really brave, and that’s a thing in itself and inspirational.
Yeah but skill wise it's obvious who's who. It doesn't have to be a competition because it really isn't and it should've been platformed as cooperative because.. well ...
Obvious talent on both sides but major tempo problems. Less flare, tighter tempo please. This is the equivalent of a barman spinning cocktails - looks good but half the drink is spilled across the bar and you'd rather have it in your glass.
And they're using Serato which means you can just produce tracks designed for the performance making it even easier, but also doing it live is different than practice. As a turntablist who still uses original vinyls I still agree with your comment. I would love if they made the tempo changes better mixed and fewer errors. I find myself trying to find the beat they're making and then it changes quick so in the end it seems like it was just a mess of cuts instead. Still impressive.
THANK YOU!!! No attention to THE FUCKING BEAT!!!!!!!!! That's a DJ's bread and butter, they don't bring actual creative talent, the only thing they really have is controlling the tempo and every single one of these professional clowns have zero concept of rhythm.
FreedomOrNothin uh excuse me they're fucking legends that's what New Yorkers have done they flare like motherfucker New York started the shit how the fuck would the rest of the world will rock to,this.. They been rocking that shit before Russian crew was born
Interesting and fresh, I listened to all this jam for the qualities of all these Djs /IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN/ Total Eclipse, Rob Swift, Dj Precision for the X-Ecutioners/USA (from front to back from the camera angle) and Dj Worm (the front one from the camera angle), Dj Chin Machine and Dj Mone for The Russian Scratch Crew/RUSSIA Peace to USA, Russia and Ukraine from France/UN. MUSIC like Hip-Hop an Djing of course is the global concept of PEACE, LOVE, UNITY and HAVING FUN
That shit was awesome!!!!! Both Teams Killed it!!!!!!!Music Brings us together!! They all showed Luv and respect in the end...Dapz USA-Dapz Mother Russia!!!

It started as a battle and ended with the X teaching everything(?) they know to some dope students
I would recommend instead the battle between Qbert and Craze for sure for the ultimate experience for future generations/ to people in the future!!! 😉

Anyone deep into the scratch scene probably knows him. Chinmachine is his name. Look him up if you haven't seen other videos of him. Really good new school scratcher.
Yep I agree
Cold blooded
He is definitely technically skilled, but I don't like what he is doing. Less DJing, and more pressing a bunch of buttons that play digital sounds.
The Russians LOOOOOOST on that WEAK AF start!!!!!! NO VIBES. They don’t get hip hop. that FN BEAT JUGGLE sounded like a hot pile of SHITE
X-Ecutioners smashed it, but I did really enjoy the whole battle from both sides. A brilliant watch all round!
Agreed, which there was a cut down version on tv. like a half an hour. once a week !

Yep, scratch crew, my friends, scratch;)

3rd russian guy was really good for my ear :D
agree
Was about to comment the same thing. He took it up 10 levels.!
Yes actually making a tune out of it plus 10,
FCore yeah he was using reverb though
dj Worm)) he is a winner!!
RIP Roc Raida, Phife Dawg, Guru, DMX and all the other Hip Hop legends we have lost
Damn, my guy Rob Swift really took control of the fader with his butt cheeks at 18:55. Legend.
legends doing legendary things.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
I was dying when I seen that lmao.
When I read this comment I was like "nah bro stop play-
Oh... Wow..."
lmao direspectful
id like to say 2 things, firstly : this is one of the most incredible and hypnotic audio/visual experience ever.. and secondly : I had no idea that the cast from "the big bang theory" were so talented?? or russian for that matter??
dont ever let that first russian dj start the set again......EVER!
He was messy and just sounded bullshit af 😂😂
RapidFire Muzik™ glad Im not the only who thought that hahaha
RapidFire Muzik™ poor guy had to open against the X men, I would have shat the bed too.
yeah....very poor start
I must be old. I remember going to Wembley in London to watch DJ David surprise everybody at the 1990 DMC World Mixing Championships!
many were overloaded by the notion of bringing up the most physically rather than musically challenging.
I would have completely lost my mind when eclipse broke out the DMX routine. Legend.
i have to applaud everyone who help make this happen. it's so great to see a small venue packed for an intimate turntablist head to head battle like this. especially in this year. it's usa vs russia right across from each other no bullshit involved just non stop competitive but respectful turntablism and i love it. great job and would love to see more of this format. is that rob swift or yoel romero?
Rob swift he kills it
Shout out to my real hip hop fam in RUSSIA! Much love from NY!
It would be dope to see Invisibl Skratch Picklez come back with Qbert and Mix Master Mike
i would love to see them against craze and atrack
yaa
What song does that, "Give me a funky-ass bassline" sample come from, at 16:03?
Every good DJ has a dolid foundation built off of beat matching. You get that down I was told you can go crazy from there. Now I see that X-Ecutioners definitely have beat matching down.
46:00 is this the hypest beat ever created?
Everybody feeling it
Got to see them live at BB Kings in NY 2009!
Rob Swift looks like Kimbo Slice now lol.
Stinky Whizzletooth facts! 💯🤙🤣💀
Great Battle! Awesome effort from both teams. Moving forward :)
Watching in March 2022. Beautiful. I hope they're still tight.
First guy sounded like an old vinyl record that you wanna toss out
One of the disciplines of hip hop unfortunately less promoted. Graf too.
Love this. Thank you for sharing this. The Culture is Ubiquity.
X -Ecutioners sloppy purple hat was the tightest and most complex onpoint set
After watching multiple Rob Swift DJ teaching vids over the last couple weeks, this was always going to be a wrap with that pedigree. But it's always good to watch the fourth degree black belts spar with the purple belts
this battle is epic. is beyond djing in itself, it goes more in depth if you can feel it. Russia is like doing it’s best and kicks it in a hard time, but than you see the x-ecutioners and is another world. it’s not necessarily on a good/bad level, or who’s best, is just great to watch the whole thing. That’s problably what’s good of competitions and hip-hop. Russia is really brave, and that’s a thing in itself and inspirational.
Yeah but skill wise it's obvious who's who. It doesn't have to be a competition because it really isn't and it should've been platformed as cooperative because.. well ...
SALUTE 2 BOTH crews!! But c'mon that's the X-MEN, god 4-bid if rock raider wus still with us🔥 R.I.P. THE REAL DOUBLE R!!
Its the X men line up and Russia Djs your time is up. learn from the old school DJs. R.i.p. Grandmaster Roc Rada
New York Hip Hop is the BEST!
Obvious talent on both sides but major tempo problems. Less flare, tighter tempo please. This is the equivalent of a barman spinning cocktails - looks good but half the drink is spilled across the bar and you'd rather have it in your glass.
And they're using Serato which means you can just produce tracks designed for the performance making it even easier, but also doing it live is different than practice. As a turntablist who still uses original vinyls I still agree with your comment. I would love if they made the tempo changes better mixed and fewer errors. I find myself trying to find the beat they're making and then it changes quick so in the end it seems like it was just a mess of cuts instead. Still impressive.
THANK YOU!!! No attention to THE FUCKING BEAT!!!!!!!!! That's a DJ's bread and butter, they don't bring actual creative talent, the only thing they really have is controlling the tempo and every single one of these professional clowns have zero concept of rhythm.
FreedomOrNothin uh excuse me they're fucking legends that's what New Yorkers have done they flare like motherfucker New York started the shit how the fuck would the rest of the world will rock to,this.. They been rocking that shit before Russian crew was born
Начало наших просто жесть...метроном в шоке
Я вот на этом моменте не понимаю даже, стоит ли дальше смотреть... какой-то лютейший пиздец
:D
Я даже рукалицо сделал, играет он, а стыдно мне)
This is a pure Hip Hop space... No politics, no racial divides, nothing but a love of the DJ pillar of Hip Hop and it's culture. #BEAUTIFUL!
Interesting and fresh, I listened to all this jam for the qualities of all these Djs /IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN/
Total Eclipse, Rob Swift, Dj Precision for the X-Ecutioners/USA (from front to back from the camera angle)
and Dj Worm (the front one from the camera angle), Dj Chin Machine and Dj Mone for The Russian Scratch Crew/RUSSIA
Peace to USA, Russia and Ukraine from France/UN.
MUSIC like Hip-Hop an Djing of course is the global concept of PEACE, LOVE, UNITY and HAVING FUN
Нихуя не понятно, но очень интересно!
Wha?
@8:46 the girl in the yellow and green Adidas tracksuit has a crazy head nodding style
c'est le style décalée hahahha
I can't unsee that now, thanks lol
Legolas, what do your elven eyes see?
looking like subway
She looks like she's imagining herself break dancing to the beat👍
Russian kids had some beats thou
Katro Storm 16:15 👌
He funky!
Kopagreg yeah they didnt have a answer for that dude.
I agree!
That shit was awesome!!!!! Both Teams Killed it!!!!!!!Music Brings us together!! They all showed Luv and respect in the end...Dapz USA-Dapz Mother Russia!!!
I like the Russian Scratch Crew now. Nice stuff. And I love the X-Ecutioners. damn Eclipse...you teared it down
