Ummm i agree, the are THE creators of this movement but all of you have to know that the records used here (that street fighter sample, and "beat yo ho-tha-yeah!", etc etc) also are records designed and recorded by Q-bert and Mixmaster Mike. One of these records is the Battle Breaks, and Toasted Marshmellow Breaks both on Q-Bert´s Dirtstyle label.
It´s not the same as today but less musical and more "classic samples using"?

Actually HB came out in 1993, check the sleeve.
BB was definately used by the rocksteady djs in 1992.Peace.

100% agree... i remember watching this same video and amazed at how they well they practiced this routine! Qbert & Mixmaster Mike had this routine down pat... after this routine, no other routine (except for the ISP vs X-Men routine) was on this level of complexity.

nope Hamster Breaks was first. ask any hip hop head from SF at that time! =)

Damn ISP were so ahead of their time. All the turntablists these days are just trying to do what ISP did 13 years ago. And this was all legit, they didn't have scratch records back then so these guys had to use actual records, not ones designed for performance.

Word. Agreed. Although having seen them both live recently, Mike and Z-Trip both stood out in my mind as well-rounded DJs. Although I'd say Mike is a much more aggressive scratch drummer than Z-Trip.

Yo I dig them cats too. They're both dope. Obviously this is opinion based but the djs I named I think are the best pound for pound djs. I probably lump Melo-D & Babu in with them too. I don't think Mike & Z juggle, drum or progressively mix in a club setting as well as those said. I'm not saying they're wack. Peace. |
