This morning on my way to work I turned on the Radio (Sirius) and I heard "The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff" by no uncertain terms this song is a staple Hip Hop Classic. This song defined what exactly a DJ is. The DJ of my youth is dead, just as NAS proclaimed Hip Hop to be.
In this one track Jazzy Jeff showed the world just how outstanding of a DJ he was.The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff was just one record that showed the world exactly what a grand master is. Jeff pulled out all of his tricks and treats on this one track he showed the world things most people didn't know could be done. Jazzy showed us the Bird Scratch, the Chirp and most impressively the transformer scratch.
If you have never been to an old school DJ contest then you have truly missed out on something spectacular. The best that I can recall was in Philly. Jazzy Jeff V. Cash Money (the heavy weight champion of Djing), this was no doubt an epic battle, these brothers put on a show with no words just turntables and it was one for the ages.
The skills of the DJ have diminished over the years and that is sad. Today DJing is looked at as mainly spinning Cd's on a turntable. The art has been lost, you can not scratch on a CD.
peace
