the entire video is fire, but from 1:28 to 1:58 might've been the greatest 30 seconds of DJing history, The level of difficulty is SO next level, AND to basically be in perfect timing for that entire sequence is nothing short of astonishing. And then 2:40 and beyond, Jazzy just showing off. true mastery
His name is Jazzy Jeff aka Jeff Townes. Commanding the cut he;s always on track. The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff. Even D.J. Am knew he was on stage with a legend and icon. R.I.P. D.J. AM
I'mma old school hip hop head and I've been behind DJ Jazzy Jeff from the beginning and will always continue to be a supporter. This is why I fell in love with hip hop!
A Clip of 2 bad ass DJ's....Jazzy Jeff will always be my favorite DJ....His sets are legendary and DJ A.M. was a beast (R.I.P.). Wish I was in the crowd when they was playing
NO one ..i mean no one is as clean and innovative with their cuts than Jazzy Jeff....his credibility in this industry is undeniable and that's why he travels the world and others don't. He's technically superior, has brand recognition, and credibility to make him one of the most profitable DJ's on this planet!
This is my all time favorite DJ video, I miss Dj AM because he was way ahead of his time, but to see him watch you always gives me chills because he was also a Fan. This when Serato just came out to.
Look at DJ AM from 1:50 to 1:54 mark. That's the body language of someone that just witnessed one of his idols do something extraordinary. My man was excited! Mad props to Jazzy Jeff, and rest in peace DJ AM....2 dope DJs.
DJ Jazzy Jeff is the reason I'm still into turntablism and percussive electronic music 20 years after his first albums with Fresh Prince. He's an incredibly dextrous and talented.
Wooord THATS THE DEAL ONE OF THE HOTTEST perfomences on you tube!!! As said before vinyl or die! All them digital djs might release some real nice mixes but THIS is what its all about! this is old school state of the art turntablelism ;-) !!! Loving it bad we wont see more of A.M. RIP Man
His juggles are so perfectly timed. I remember watching this 13yrs ago. After that, all other beat juggles i watched from other djs doesnt come close. Its like jazzy jeff trains with a metronome like a musician.
I never get tired of watching this RIP DJ AM Dj Jazzy Jeff's selection at the end is priceless ! Timing is everything like Prof said thats how he made such a great HighSchool band !!!
DJ Jazzy Jeff the dopest DJ of all time!!!! Philly's finest. He truly is the magnificent and the best to have ever done it!! Many a DJ have followed him but none have been able to duplicate it.
jazz and prince make an excellent duo, but i believe jeff wouldve been more respected as a dj, if he would have did his own thing more..ive seen Jeff battle, but most think of him as will's funny friend from phily, going to bel-air.. the show didnt showcase jeff often, and the albums did, but wild wild west,amd men in black, type songs didnt make the dj culture check for jeff's work..i bought those albums to hear jeff scratch, not will rap
+C28817 i watched $hit, with qbert , and aladdin, and xmen, and skratch piklz, when dj's were original, and J.J. was always known and his biggest accomplishment will always be the sidekick of fresh prince., ..although i dont remember him winning any DMC's , he always was in my top 10, maybe top 5 turntablists ever, so i dont need to check his resume, i was around to watch him making it.. peace
Wow.. you said Qbert, Aladdin, & Xmen and Skratch pilklz... DJ's that were inspired by Jazzy and came into the game more than a decade after Jazzy showed the world how to Transform cleanly with the fader not the switch.. Jazzy was always... always known and respected as a DJ!! - Not a side kick. Only the sheep saw him as a side kick.= - most of which don't even know Will was called "Fresh Prince".
glad to see jeff still has fans watching almost 8 years later, but skills are always respected.. i put jeff up there with the greatest..but i also remember him being the dj in the 80's for JJ and the fresh p..so dont act like he made his name before will, cuz i got, hes the dj..im the rapper, and i got it for the dj, i heard on the radio.. i also remember eric b trying to transform his own way in the 80's with rakim... eric b for president, i was done with the philly cats.. ...and marley marl, with juice crew..i was playing new york, and LA dj's that were winning battles..at shows..not 2 philly cats, with one being a corny rapper... oh, i forgot dj CRAZE..he's cool... peace
DJ JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE................WERE CLEAN CUT AND LOOK AT THEM NOW..........WORLD FAMOUS AND WEALTHY, THEY DID WHAT THEY LOVE TO DO AND MASTERED IT.
I showed my 15yo son this video, he knows I am a big fan of Jeff and he asked me: "Dad, why didn't Jazzy Jeff ever compete in a DMC contest?" I told him (besides telling him Jeff must have been too busy since he exploded as a DJ together with Will): "Son, these regular freestyles are basically complete DMC sets and probably even winning sets... Jazzy Jeff just gives these performances all the time on a regular basis, unprepared... He doesn't need no contest environment... He proves himself as the master during every show. Even while he's 50 years old..."
Do you see smoke coming off those needles, too? DJ Jazzy Jeff just killed it, for real! Rest easy, DJ AM. Ok, back to the lab. I gotta do some more practice. Peace!
DJ JAZZY JEFF! HE'S THE BEST DJ IN THE WORLD! I SAW HIM LIVE THE FIRST TIME IN NORTH PHILLY WHEN I WAS IN TH 8TH GRADE HE BLEW MY MIND! DAMMIT MAN! KIDS DO UR RESEARCH! THIS IS HIPHOP!- CAZZMANN!
MYGOODNESS! WOW! I like the new style of djing that going on right now but I was born in 70 so this is what I came up listing to, djs doing this, AT HOUSE PARTYS. Not as good as Jazzy Jeff but I think you know what I mean.
Jeff is a BEAST!!!!!!!!!PHILLY REPRESENT!!!!!!!!He was doing this as a young boy back in the day...Yesssss Sir Wagners Ballroom,Circus City,Wynne Ballroom those were the days.....
best show I ever did see. thanksgiving 1988. The Spectrum. there were a whole lotta superstars on that stage that night, but that was Jazz (and Will's) house...!!!
Who all came back in 2019 almost 2020 to see this fresh cut again ! I know i did !!!
2020

3-20-2022 @10:10pm

+GAMMA RAY I stand corrected
Agrred
Oops. Agreed. Lol
Illest of all time
Dead or alive imo
Two amazing talents, such a shame to lose a special talent, imagine the videos that could have been 😔

Dj am was lyfe, how humble how he just sat and learned from his legend 🙌 miss dj am so much imagine the mixes we'd have today if he didn't OD
check out A-trak
y'all better know..lol THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME! PHILLY IN DA HOUSE!!!!!
Never get tired of this. I've listened to this dozens of times. Some people play instruments. This dude plays records.
I'm speechless. All I could do was give a thumbs up and favorite it.
His name is Jazzy Jeff aka Jeff Townes. Commanding the cut he;s always on track.
The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff. Even D.J. Am knew he was on stage with a legend and icon. R.I.P. D.J. AM
Nov. 22nd 2018. Still brings a tear to my eye to see DJ AM and Jazzy Jeff together on this video clip. ❤❤❤❤
DJ AUDIO1 crazy how I always reference this video every so often wishing I could have been there. Philly legends
@@TheMuveTube Yeah man. 🙏🙏🙏

jeff is the sickest ever , THATS MY WORD!!! IM FROM NYC , AND I CAN HONESTLY GIVE IT UP TO ALL THE PHILLIE DJ'S!!!!! ALL OF THEM !!!!
That is SICK!!!! If you think that there has been a better DJ then you're CRAZY!!!!
he cant mess with jeff
I've listen to about 10 different DJ's this morning who are labeled "the best" and NO ONE made me feel it like "The Magnificent Jazzy Jeff"!!
Jeff, you have always been my #1 DJ. Your music with Will is something that will live on 4 eva in my house. To the man, I, and my ears, thank you.
Mannnnnnn! Don't even speak to me if he isn't your #1 DJ of all time. Seriously..lol
NO one ..i mean no one is as clean and innovative with their cuts than Jazzy Jeff....his credibility in this industry is undeniable and that's why he travels the world and others don't.

AM was like like fuck it, let me let him do is thing. lol
DJ Jazzy Jeff is the reason I'm still into turntablism and percussive electronic music 20 years after his first albums with Fresh Prince. He's an incredibly dextrous and talented.
a set cant get much more perfect than that...absolutely flawless
Jeff is my alltime favorite, since he did the transformer in the early 80's
jazzy jeff THE KING.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dj Jezzy Jeff und Dj AM einfach nur GEIL !! unübertroffen, habe selten sone gute arbeit gesehen !!! :D
I love the fact that jazzy jeff drops summer madness to finish, what a legend
notice his cuts are quick and really clean, he dont mess up at all, I think he's better than any hip hop dj out there
He is good, but he ain't no kid Capri or the one and only dj premier. Jazz is good don't get me wrong. He is a crowd mover.
@@user-js6ch1mf8g Please explain..
1:28 and on...pure gold
The best DJ on this planet, hands down. I remember the house parties Jeff did...flawless and a lot of fun. Keeep spinnin' strong Jazzy!
This man is one of the pioneering DJs from the golden age of hip-hop. He's already a master.
Song that Jazzy is cutting is Peter Piper by Run-DMC, song at the end is Summer Madness by Kool & The Gang...
C'mon folks this ain't rocket science
Check out DJ Jazzy Jeff on Rhythm Trax. Think about when that was. Jeff can do that in his sleep all day.
Seen Jazzy Jeff twice in London and would see him again...this man is too good, loving it.
best video in the world and two of the best DJ's to ever touch a pair of turntables
DJ Jezzy Jeff, one of my favorites in end of the 80's, the 90's and today. I love her scratch technics!°
Philly Dj's !! POW!!!!
Oh shit, love how Jeff dropped Summertime! That's such a fucking sick song!
Wooord THATS THE DEAL ONE OF THE HOTTEST perfomences on you tube!!!
As said before vinyl or die! All them digital djs might release some real nice mixes but THIS is what its all about! this is old school state of the art turntablelism ;-) !!!
Loving it bad we wont see more of A.M. RIP Man
How the fuck did ANYONE give this A THUMBS DOWN!?!
In-N-Out your lying right?? you've NEVER heard of Beat Juggling? The dj getting off is whats happening!! lol
In some fuckers minds they can do it better , nobody can do that better ffs
The fact that this was caught on video
His juggles are so perfectly timed. I remember watching this 13yrs ago. After that, all other beat juggles i watched from other djs doesnt come close. Its like jazzy jeff trains with a metronome like a musician.
man Dj jazzy jeff is a genius...I saw him once at ministry of sound with mark ronson and Dj Premier --- UNBELIEVEABLE
He fucking cuts peter piper so fucking nice !
salute and R.I.P DJ AM.
The Greatest of all time. Period.WEST PHILLY STAND UP! R.I.P. DJ AM....
I never get tired of watching this RIP DJ AM Dj Jazzy Jeff's selection at the end is priceless ! Timing is everything like Prof said thats how he made such a great HighSchool band !!!
Now Peter piper picked peppers and run rocked rhymes, the best line ever, also love ya Jeff!!👍
Jeff doing tha "Damn Thang on AM!!! wow and he knows it!!!😥
Well put. Jazzy Jeff & J Rocc are the best alive!
ive been Djing 20 years and this is the best at its bestiss..
He fired up the wheels of steel...then cooled us off to Kool and The Gang...man that was masterful...
The real deejaying, even Am had to cool himself off hahaha. RIP Am
i will never get tired of watching this video
DJ Jazzy Jeff the dopest DJ of all time!!!! Philly's finest. He truly is the magnificent and the best to have ever done it!! Many a DJ have followed him but none have been able to duplicate it.
The "hip hop dancer's theme" is my favorite scratch record from jazzy jeff.
dope !!!
Kickin it
A true legend showing what being a DJ is really all about.
Jazzy Jeff got me hooked to the vinyls thanks Jeff, I hope for one day to be mixing along side Mr. Jazz
off the scale
Time to practice!
I thought I knew how to turntable, Jazzy Jeff is a monster! That's what years of DJ'ing will do for someone.
Jeff is the greatest, most articulate, melodic, percussive DJ of all time IMO.
I think Jeff switched to white wax after AM's passing as tribute to his younger protege... just an assumption. but cool if so... RIP
Poppinparties I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT LOL
1:30 - fucking crazy
2:38
wonderful. Jazzy is THE man. R.I.P. DJ AM & R.I.P. Roc Raida. I miss you both so much.
Jazz got soul, he got funk, he got flavor.. thats genetic, but talent, that's a god given gift...
Jazzy & AM.. its a historical event..
jazz and prince make an excellent duo, but i believe jeff wouldve been more respected as a dj, if he would have did his own thing more..ive seen Jeff battle, but most think of him as will's funny friend from phily, going to bel-air.. the show didnt showcase jeff often, and the albums did, but wild wild west,amd men in black, type songs didnt make the dj culture check for jeff's work..i bought those albums to hear jeff scratch, not will rap

+joe long
LMFAO...you said more respected as a DJ...lol..you must be 15...Check his Resume First before you speak on such things.

Jeff Killed him...

DJ JAZZY JEFF AND THE FRESH PRINCE................WERE CLEAN CUT AND LOOK AT THEM NOW..........WORLD FAMOUS AND WEALTHY, THEY DID WHAT THEY LOVE TO DO AND MASTERED IT.
can somebody explains to me what the heck of the 79 dislikes for?
Claire Etienne Oh those 79 dislikes of from the people who hates hip hop and in contrast is jealous.
Actually, DJ AM died in this video.
It's sad how you can't find Dj's like this anymore.
I showed my 15yo son this video, he knows I am a big fan of Jeff and he asked me: "Dad, why didn't Jazzy Jeff ever compete in a DMC contest?"
