I was at this Scribble Jam. There was an obvious bias of the crowd towards Abilities. But being friends with some of the DJ's and initially thinking Abilities won, the majority all told me it was obvious that Precyse won. Abilities put on a better "show", but Precyse had the more technical skill. Turntabilism was at a such a HIGH LEVEL at that point, a regular hip-hop crowd can't pick out everything that is being done on the decks. That's why there are judges. No one got "robbed". Both are dope.
When 5:15 takes place, that had to be the decisive factor. Abilities had made it obvious that he had to recover from the needle skips within his scratch routine.
precyse is a legend to anyone who knows anything about this turntable ish.abilities is a crowd pleasing dj.precyse is a judge pleasing dj. abilities rocked it though. props to both djs.
Dammitman, if you think Abilities (and BIG respect to Abilities) was scratching better, than you have know idea what you were listening to, if you thought Abilities (and BIG respect to Abilities) was even coming close to Presyce's juggles, you absolutely have NO idea what you're listening to. Still, great battle, big ups to both!
Abilities focused more on sustaining a smooth beat that fits together, and he did enough what little vocals he used to turn the corwd and me on Precyse. Precyse focused more on vocally destroying Abilities which didn't deliver as good as Abilities. Abilities wins.
Respond to this video... like if eyedeas death didnt give you a biased opinion....they were both SICK....i cant choose....seems like i always see tily hats in old scribble videos...sick video
Dj abilities is beast, but precyse won because he used alot of disses, but Abilities imo is an innovator of turntablism, listen so songs like "This story" you would not know it was a turntable doing that if you, both are very dope, but Dj abilities is imo the better dj, won 2 regional dmc's, and was in a successful group and made some good money, check out his new stuff.
At 3:35 does anyone know the name of the song that starts? It sounds like The Next Episode by Dr Dre but it doesn't sound like the regular version. Anybody know what it is?
dj abilities with the creativity...precyse with the technicality...lets be honest. i love e and a as much as the next person but it is all a matter of opinion
Well I will give you this...Precice's 2nd round with the Big Pimpin' scratch was pretty dope, but I still think Abilities Smoked him. We are not talking about the DMC battles, we are talking about this. He usually does use a lot of gimmicks (like when I saw him and eyedea at their new CD release party, he had a new vestax turntable that you could change the key of a song with a push of a button kinda like a piano...only 4 of these wheels were ever released he has 2), but he rips him 2 shreds!!!
It's not a matter of opinion the originality in Precyses juggles far outweighs anything abilities did, throw the tech of the scratches on top of that, hands down Precyse. I'm a huge E&A fan but you can't put these two in the same category battling...not even close.
All of y'all who think Abilities should have won......well, keep dreamin'! No disrespect to Abilities cause he DID kill it. I believe Precyse edged him out in technical skills and juggling. There MUST HAVE been some REAL turntablists on the judging panel. Or at least somebody who knows what to look for in a dj battle.
y all u hatin on p. he had more skill than abilities. maybe u guys know abilities? i know p & he's a nice guy. stop hating! klever was robbed @ 2001 world dmc. jus sayin
BULLSHIT!!! lol That was def fixed cuz there is NO WAY abilities shoulda lost that battle, even the crowd agrees if you listen to their reactions when not only performing but when they announce the runner up. Abilities is sooooo much smoother plus he's way more humble about his talent (apart from his name ofcourse). mad respect
Yo DJ Abilities has mad skillz! Although some people were booing Precyse, I thought he did pretty good. He chose some awesome music but his dj skills are far from DJ Abilities
@layzeee not really...abilities can do what prycese did no problem...abilities was soo much more technical....ive seen him live and he is just flat out rediculous.
@Shizzo191 yeah, u should buy some tables.. then after a few years of practice, maybe you'll realize Precyse beat Abilities on pure skill.. He's a better scratcher and beat juggler. and that's what it takes to win a battle.. Abilities was dope though.
@manosathitakis Maybe in terms of accomplishments PRE this battle, but certianly not post for either one of them... Abilities won by a land slide, DJing is made to seem so taboo and irrelevant now, that's the real loss. Not to mention this was the last time Percyse could even enter at scribble so they had to give it to him...
I was there and it was sick!!! RIP Scribble Jam
REALLY?!?! Why because he played a beat you recognized? DJ Abilities is on a whole other level.

It's 2025 and I'm still salty that Abilities wasn't declared winner
Precyce’s Rahzel “All I Know”. Juggle is to this day 🔥 🔥 🔥🙌!!!!
Both put on a great show
precyse is a legend to anyone who knows anything about this
turntable ish.abilities is a crowd pleasing dj.precyse is a judge pleasing dj.
abilities rocked it though.
props to both djs.
Still have this on VHS cassette
I haven’t seen this in almost 25 years

@HMMingBird are you talking about the "Vestax Controller One turntable" ? They made way more then 4.. try hundreds if not over a thousand
Abilities focused more on sustaining a smooth beat that fits together, and he did enough what little vocals he used to turn the corwd and me on Precyse. Precyse focused more on vocally destroying Abilities which didn't deliver as good as Abilities.
Abilities wins.
shyko95 you are correct.
5:43- 5:52
Abilities just became my favorite DJ
i love how djs have to act like silent film actors
ABILITIES..IS BEAST..R.I.P. Eyedea
hey i found that instrumental that starts at 5:04.you were correct,its mf doom and the song is called smokin that shit. thank you for your help...
have you found the name of that instrumental?
is that the same dj who was dropping music at the Phaze II 34th anniversary? Dj Precyse
Respond to this video... like if eyedeas death didnt give you a biased opinion....they were both SICK....i cant choose....seems like i always see tily hats in old scribble videos...sick video
Shit is classik!! Been a while since ive watched the Skribble Jam vids! Good lookin out for posting the vid! Close battle tho!
What is the song at 3:50 ? so frickin dope
@tearsofravens oh ok, but what's a 'crack' ?
i love abilities but as a turntablist precyse won this shit. he rocked the crowd. and keep in mind this is a dj battle and he murdered abilities
@tearsofravens translation ?!
Dj abilities is beast, but precyse won because he used alot of disses, but Abilities imo is an innovator of turntablism, listen so songs like "This story" you would not know it was a turntable doing that if you, both are very dope, but Dj abilities is imo the better dj, won 2 regional dmc's, and was in a successful group and made some good money, check out his new stuff.
At 3:35 does anyone know the name of the song that starts? It sounds like The Next Episode by Dr Dre but it doesn't sound like the regular version. Anybody know what it is?
Missin' Linx - M.I.A.
Anyone knows which song is it at 5:04?
Fair to say Abilities was absolutely robbed in this. So much tighter and more original.
that hat was so 2000
he's a good gimmick dj - that's all folks
Abilities killed it. Huge fan of him. @jabbarcks yeah, he did let the beat ride too much. not a whole lot of (cheese moment) Abilites?
@discombobulate a lot of people make that mistake. Just new to the genra is my guess.
Damn Abilities doesn't even try.
RIP EYEDEA
@theANTItommy actually i found out not long after i posted this- for anyone who cares it's a vocal from Cage's "54"
thanks for your response and opinion. i have to disagree but i respect your thoughts on the video
7:00 what's the name from the song?
Jay-Z - Big Pimpin'
precyse took that pretty obvious hes an actual battle dj where abilities is more a dope ass creative dj
dj abilities with the creativity...precyse with the technicality...lets be honest. i love e and a as much as the next person but it is all a matter of opinion
Abilities all the way. He's also really good with Eyedea
Hooolyyy shit, Abilities second go is soooo good.
Well I will give you this...Precice's 2nd round with the Big Pimpin' scratch was pretty dope, but I still think Abilities Smoked him. We are not talking about the DMC battles, we are talking about this. He usually does use a lot of gimmicks (like when I saw him and eyedea at their new CD release party, he had a new vestax turntable that you could change the key of a song with a push of a button kinda like a piano...only 4 of these wheels were ever released he has 2), but he rips him 2 shreds!!!
Used to see abilities in th uptown area of Minneapolis. Been a while though.
DJ Abilities is a true innovator.
whatever happened to precyse?
@manosathitakis What would being an Atmosphere fan possibly have to do with this battle? Dreadful logic
FUCCKKK LOOK AT ABILITIES HANDS MOVING SO CRAZY BACK AND FORTH :O
abilities... hands down..
everyone is acting like abilities killed precyse. he did do better in my opinion but precyse came very well with his
Nah for someone named precyse, a lot of his shit sounded off time and sloppy.
I was actually off to the right of the stage that day recording the battle for a friend. Abilities was much, much more skilled.
@theANTItommy Thanks
dope
ha ha Precyse plays the race card and gets BOOOED.....
House Of Pain - Work Is Bond
It's not a matter of opinion the originality in Precyses juggles far outweighs anything abilities did, throw the tech of the scratches on top of that, hands down Precyse. I'm a huge E&A fan but you can't put these two in the same category battling...not even close.
Black Sheep- The choice is yours
E&A
Damn I think abilities took it after doing that moaning girl bit.
So what are you saying? Idu
All of y'all who think Abilities should have won......well, keep dreamin'! No disrespect to Abilities cause he DID kill it. I believe Precyse edged him out in technical skills and juggling. There MUST HAVE been some REAL turntablists on the judging panel. Or at least somebody who knows what to look for in a dj battle.
i just think abilities has more style and isn't as generic
@HMMingBird Yes, Abilities is on a whole other level. BUT, not a level of pure turntable skill. Precyse killed him on scratches and Juggling..
ahhh at about 6;15 ...what he spins says ."got mad little WHITE kids ,thinkin they could beat me".... and you do hear some BOOOOs....
Abilities
abilities should throw on a beat or something :P
I like precyse better cuz he actualy plays music lol
y all u hatin on p. he had more skill than abilities. maybe u guys know abilities? i know p & he's a nice guy. stop hating!
klever was robbed @ 2001 world dmc.
jus sayin
i think abilities shoulda won his beat juggling was off the hook
Abilities got robbed... straight up and down. No points for innovative creativity? Wack.
Abilities still got it though overall
Of course Abilities won!
He's way more creative and talented!
BULLSHIT!!! lol That was def fixed cuz there is NO WAY abilities shoulda lost that battle, even the crowd agrees if you listen to their reactions when not only performing but when they announce the runner up. Abilities is sooooo much smoother plus he's way more humble about his talent (apart from his name ofcourse). mad respect
abilities > precyse
abilities won that what the hell?!
Yo DJ Abilities has mad skillz! Although some people were booing Precyse, I thought he did pretty good. He chose some awesome music but his dj skills are far from DJ Abilities
@eddi668 Not booing, oooing.
@hess3076 What wrong with Big Pimpin? Your Foolish for make a comment like that
what fuck the song in 6:11 this gangta flava ,,,,PRECYSE break down !!!!!!!!!
I think precyse let the beat ride too much and didn't put alot in it like abilities did
precyse killed him
@layzeee they made 300
Abilities aint shit. Precyse owns this shit all day.
5:40 hahaha gimmicky but better than ANYthing Precyze did.
i guess playin a jay-z sample will win you scribble jam..........sad
abilities makes "precyse" look foolish
Abilities forever
@layzeee not really...abilities can do what prycese did no problem...abilities was soo much more technical....ive seen him live and he is just flat out rediculous.
@Shizzo191 yeah, u should buy some tables.. then after a few years of practice, maybe you'll realize Precyse beat Abilities on pure skill.. He's a better scratcher and beat juggler. and that's what it takes to win a battle.. Abilities was dope though.
that shit is so sick abilities destroyed him
DJ Abilities got OD ROBBED! -__-
@manosathitakis Maybe in terms of accomplishments PRE this battle, but certianly not post for either one of them... Abilities won by a land slide, DJing is made to seem so taboo and irrelevant now, that's the real loss. Not to mention this was the last time Percyse could even enter at scribble so they had to give it to him...
@linksmola1 From Cage Kennylz "54"
Precyce doesn't deserve it
Precyse
Abilities kicked ASS!!!

Abilities got robbed.
Fatty was wack! Shouldn't have won! Haha where is he now?
