Raida was the man, nuff said. He took turntablism and showmanship to new heights, but who remembers these dudes? Nobody - that's who! Unless grew up a scratch addict like Me, Snack orEddie IXL back in the day. These guys are by far not the best DJ's you'll ever see, but they blow my mind nonetheless.


DJ CHAD JACKSON - the way he mixes folk songs with breakbeats reminds me of Z-Trip! Love the pilot cap, the way he throws up records and spikes them down - who does that?


DJ BAD BOY BILL - rare footage of the house legend gettin disqualified for incorpating hoes in his battle routine. Gotta kinda be patient with this one. @ 4:55 it gets really good, when the girls come out. Sheeeeit.


And then there's BABY G - one of Dj'ing's most 'sensitive' and 'graceful' personalities. Big points for incorporating every part of his body into the routine: his head, ass, schlong, choad and barefeet, all while his boy stands in the background to make him look tough.

THE ABSOLUTE WINNER in the HORRID DJ MOMENTS list - I couldn't even find on the internet! It was DJ Mem-brain & Ray D's routine in the 1996 DMC finals(against ROC RAIDA). First of all, they were the only DJ duo I can remember that only used one pair of turns in their routine. Gayest moment in DJ history has to be when one hops on the other piggyfront style, bends backwards to grab the fader while the other uses his hands juggle two recs. It's so bad, you have to see it to believe it.
