Yeah, I still have 3 coffins full of vinyl. Beat matching, keeping the beats per minutes in sync, and knowing the position of each record where the breaks, pauses, other stuff is a lot harder than punching two songs on a laptop and have the software do the work for ya ! :D
Flash is like fine wine: He gets Better with age. He's embraced the evolving technologies and uses them as tools to continue building his arsenal of mad skills... therefore he will always be on top of his game no matter how he's doing things these days. All my respects to Flash and all the old-school DJs out there who Know how to Roll with da Flow. :D
This guy literally invented DJing as we know it.....he invented the slip mat.....he invented the cross fader.....and he invented the art of scratching.....And he is quick to commend people like Jazzy Jeff that do it better than he does....a living legend and class act.
He definitely did not invent the crossfader, it already existed. Besides all of what you have mentioned, he also invented the cue system. Besides that I agree with you man!
@@woodywoodrin8588 check out Hot97 Grandmaster Flash explaining the theory of DJing. He said that he took a double action single pull switch to allow him to extend the drum break. Who do you say invented it? If he's lying I want to know. Maybe I heard wrong I will watch it again myself. It's on UA-cam. And thanks for being respectful.

@@peteantonio1601 hi Pete I would check your hip hop history. Herc did not invent the scratch. Herc was the first to mix 2 records together but theodore was the first to invent scratch .
Dj St3rling even though there's mistakes here and there, this brings back so many memories. Real talk, I remember when Grandmaster Flash and the furious five, Charlie Chase, Grand Master Caz and others came to Cali when I was stationed at Fort Irwin back in the 80s. I really wanted to battle Flash back then, not as a disrespect, but as a pupil who came up under him, wanting to pay homage. Back then when we battled it wasn't about disrespect, at least not ask the time. I've krewed up with some of the katz I battled. Yea, those were the days. Flash is having fun, and he's getting some rightfully deserved cash, because back then they weren't paying like they are today, so I'm glad to see the PIONEERS getting a piece of the pie. Real talk.
THE ONLY REASON why we have djs still around is because of this dude... its the only reason why im still a dj after some 25 years later . Id love to see him live even to be blessed to do a set with him...THE REAL Dj Phanatik
hell, dopest ever...just watched BBC Once Upon a Time in New York and ended up here, also spended alot time with my vinyl collection after the get down=D
The lord of the turntables, the master of crash, is the one's lord master with three turntables and the best Dj in entire world is my brother Grandmaster Flash's and he still rocking the master of the destruction I love you brother and God Bless you 🙏🙏🙏
Grandmaster flash, thank you so much for taking us back in time to the place in our mind when hip hop was on your mind the majority of the time. Hip hop Bx for life.
I can remember the Latin Quarters rocking this all night long this man is truly legendary to hip hop without this man the culture would missed out on a huge part of it. MUCH RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Boogie Down Bronx reppa is a Hip Hop icon and ledgen.
THAT'S WHY A DJ TODAY, DOESN'T REALLY NEED TO BE CALL, A DJ. THIS IS WHAT A DJ IS ALL ABOUT. REAL THING, NOT FAKE, NOT DOWNLOADING FROM INTERNET, UA-cam, AND ESPECIALLY, NOT COPYING OTHERS MUSICS, CUTTING NUMBERS, ALBUMS, SONGS, ETC, ETC..... THE WORST PART IS THAT THEY GET RECOGNITIONS, CAUSE THEY WORK AT CERTAIN RADIOS STATIONS. I'M A DJ FROM OLD SCHOOL AND I LEARN FROM OTHERS, CAUSE THAT'S WHAT WE DO, BACK THEN. NOW, IT'S A COMPETITION OF WHO YOU KNOW TO GET YOU ON A RADIO STATIONS, GIG OR EVERYWHERE. SAD PART IS, THEY CAN'T DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS, NEVER. UNLESS THEY COPY, SOMEBODY. NOT TO MANY ORIGINAL. SOMEBODY ASK ME FOR A TRIAL TO SEE AND THEY WANT ME TO BRING, ALL ORIGINAL MUSIC THAT I TRY TO GET ON ORIGINAL CD'S, SO THEY CAN RECORD THEM. I TOLD THEM: "YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY FOR MY COLLECTIONS. I TOLD THEM, YOU EVEN HAVE SOME CD'S THAT I RECORD FOR A FRIEND AND YOU RECORD THAT, FROM HIM. THAT'S THE REASON THAT I DON'T COPY TO NOBODY, MY COLLECTIONS.
The Difference in my opinion is.... Rap is UnStructured Words Wrapped in A loop. mostly untalented People.. hip-hop is a underground Movement made main stream . by record labels such as Legendary Def Jam And Arista hip hop tells stories and is articulate writing told with a Rhyme and ........
Flash was the realest of them all especially back in the days a real dj with fast cuts in crazy skills salute to the greatest in still nice thank you brother flash God bless you
Yes but Keef Cowboy rapping before Melle Mel but Melle Mel is the first person started and rap a full complete verse and also it not sound like a nursery rhymes!
I DJ'd in the 90's. I bought all my vinyl dirt cheap and the new stuff was reasonable to purchase. I was also in a record pool. I amassed roughly 20,000 records and have shelves covering a couple walls. A crate of records is no joke heavy and I would bring at least 4-5 every gig. Add in two 1200s in flight cases, your mixer and forget it. Some places had their own set up and I'd just bring needles. I miss those days and I'm retired from DJing.
@ 2:25 years and years of experience dealing with adverse conditions allow him to recover as if this wasn't about to become a show stopping catastrophe. simply amazing!
A real craftsman at work !!!! I would like to see todays laptop-DJ:s follow this. This is the real deal. Two turntables and a microphone , a mixer and a PA-system. Top it of with the records of your choice and BLAST-OF !!!! I really would have wanted to be at this gig.
No f’ing visual mark. You gotta be able to hear to keep it on beat. Yeah, no buttons or colors!!! Big ups to you!!! Thank you for being so dedicated to figuring out your gift, your art and teaching it to us all!!!

The name of the song is called Get Up and Dance by Freedom. Grandmaster Flash came along a little bit later and made the rap version of the song Freedom.
homeboy.... killed it back in the day and every day..... damn i miss those days growing up in Nyc.... boogie down... breakin.... chillin... groovin.... poping... spinning.... everything was "fresh" and "dope"....... never forget the best days of my life.....
Hey, just because you don't like the new style of Hip Hop and Rap these days, doesn't mean you have to bash on my generation. Grandmaster Flash said it himself, "Keep hip hopping the way you do, I can't pass judgement, I just want people to know there was a beginning to this!"
Dam the penny on the needle!!!!! I use to see Flash live in Harlem, I would be 5 feet away watching him rock, and he use to kill it. this gave me goose bumps!
+Taipans No being sloppy is not a "style" it's called inaccuracy. Listen to Jazzy Jeff do the same working of doubles and it is cleaner and more precise. I hate edm djs. You might be uneducated about the craft of DJing. I have been a Dj for 30 years so I speak from knowledge and having utilized the same techniques I acknowledge he created. We all respect Flash for the pioneer he is but amongst djs we know when our ears here sloppiness. I hear it in myself and try to improve it when that is the case
if you were a dj you would understand what I'm saying. Dj jazzy jeff was smooth as butter in 1983. What does imprecise have to do with selling out? Flash is dope and a pioneer but my critique remains.
Wanna know how great he is ? Went to a show with a friend middle of the week for the 18 Euros. The place in Hamburg called Waagebau kinda underground. He had everyone dancing for 4 hours straight. I remember the lady’s and gents half showering at the restrooms because the show was so fire.

Umm, ya that's his style. He has never changed to a EDM DJ, and uses his tables for pure raw creation.
+Taipans No being sloppy is not a "style" it's called inaccuracy. Listen to Jazzy Jeff do the same working of doubles and it is cleaner and more precise. I hate edm djs. You might be uneducated about the craft of DJing. I have been a Dj for 30 years so I speak from knowledge and having utilized the same techniques I acknowledge he created. We all respect Flash for the pioneer he is but amongst djs we know when our ears here sloppiness. I hear it in myself and try to improve it when that is the case
Steve Crawford Whoa, sensitive subject? It's fucking youtube DJ.
cos he still bangs like it's 1983 he don't have to sell out
if you were a dj you would understand what I'm saying. Dj jazzy jeff was smooth as butter in 1983. What does imprecise have to do with selling out? Flash is dope and a pioneer but my critique remains.
