- "Caught in the race against time, the pit and the pendulum..." 1989 Supremacy Champion and one of the freshest DJs ever, Philadelphia legend DJ Miz (Sakini Moultrie) definitely felt the heat defending Aladdin's DMC US Title in March, 1990. His was not the first set ruined by equipment error, but this one is especially painful to watch considering how revolutionary the opening routines are.
Thanks to Itchy Mark for this classic upload.
One of the greatest DJs of all time and anyone watching this and having not seen/heard Miz before will think he's wack and sloppy due to equipment error.
you can still see how dope he is from the first 2 routines -- he was the freshest ever
You right Harry Armstrong. Can't judge Miz on this performance alone. Truly one of the greatest
Correction, Dj David Fraser is best 100%
Seriously? Were you djing in 1990? The needles were not the same as they are today, every battle you saw from this time period has at least the occasional skips.
@@damianandrews965 - The needles (stylus) never skipped on Dj Aladdin
no serato, no laptop, no headphones....just studying and reading the grooves and great timing...skill !!!
Headphones at 4:34

Kkkkkkkkkkkkk
Yes sirr
Remember when Miz formed a rap group with the other top MC at the time fresco. Sad to see it never came to fruition for the long term.
There's a documentary about them on youtube
Miz had one of the best beat juggles in this battle with that “No half steppin” routine.. But those tables were jumping for everyone in that battle, I had this battle on vhs 📼 when it came out still love it till this day!🔊💪🏽
Think someone sabotashed the weight distribution on turn tables so it would skip on purpose
Still own this tape too. Me and my boys used to watch this shit endlessly. I know these routines like the back of my hand.
And that would be the "Blind Alley" routine bro. No disrespect to BDK. ✌🏾
HE WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME FOR SURE SUPPORT TURNTABLISM AN SCRATCH CULTURE AN RESPECT THAT WE HAVE YOU TUBE TO KEEP THIS IN HIP HOP HISTORY AN CULTURE THANKS
I WAS THERE THAT COLD NIGHT IN NEW YORK-YES I AGREE-THE EQUIPMENT WAS JACKING ALOT OF DJ'S UP THAT NIGHT.IF THE EQUIPMENT HAD BEEN MORE STURDY AND TIGHTER,MIZ WOULD HAVE ROCKED HIS ROUTINE.I SEEN MIZ DJ BEFORE AND I KNOW HE IS GOOD ON THE SET.
Miz probably would've won, he had the judges on his side for sure
Makes me laugh when people blame the equipment. This is a dream setup, compared to what a lot people started out on.
Miz TOP TEN OF ALL TIME
@@kollusion1 and yet even the dream setup can malfunction if its not setup/ calibrated correctly.
for me this was before Babu doing his blind alley routine and me and my mate at the time spent hours getting thos patterns down. That swing break down / tapped with the little half beat accents ? That was historic
Miz was no joke
One of the ILLEST!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🥇🏆🏅💯
Sir SpittFi No doubt
Was that Red Alert over there on the side!?
WOW! This takes me back to my youth, before Serato, Record Box, Pioneer DJM S7, 9, 11’s, Rain 70s and Reloop Elite’s! Back when DJs actually had to dig through crates, physically flip records and use tape or marker to set there own cue points on the wax itself.
I can watch this for hours, and reminisce !
Mad skills but the terrordome segment shot his tyres out😏
🤨😖
This is without doubt the best dj battle ever this changed the whole game stevie dee the legend dj ABC uk
It doesn't matter, his cuts were clean.......unlike many DJ today. That's what I judge by.
I still liked it
word! his juggles were fresh for that era ... if needle drop markers were around he would've killed for sure
I don't think it's equipment error I think he was frazzled. That's the fine line of competition and reality of real turntables.. take note serato users. You got a hall pass on that skill.
Serato is a video game, little girls are doing well with it.
I doubt if the champion was frazzled
this probably inspired Babu
Slowed it down & sped it back up! Dope
6min mark and beyond funk is brought thanks again for posting..
.the realllll.....
It could happen to anyone. First year, a DJ is on top of the world, and the next year, they stumble. Even the most talented DJ in the competition can choke. And if anyone thinks that it's difficult being the first DJ to perform, it's even more tougher to defend the title, especially if you attempt to try your newest trick, and it doesn't pay off. Poor Miz.
that video quality wow
Very good
DV users will never understand the struggles.. Shit was real... But that's where marking your wax correctly came in. His cuts were on point for that time period..
Yo Miz turn that up, I need that!
i remember this
he just says FUCK IT
This one of philadelphia best
If only he had that PE cued up correctly.
it was shaping up to be an amazing set until he hit that snag
Hes working through all bullcrap tho! Peace!
Ahhh i see where dj babu got this now lol
Was he the first to do the turntables battle style? He's absolutely crushing it. 30 years ago!?!?!!!
the philly DJs were doing it in '86-cash money, jazzy jeff, etc.
@@MichaelShum FACTS BUT THAT STYLE ,WHAT IS REFERRED TO AS "BATTLE "STYLE ,IS ALL CASH MONEY.HE DID IT FIRST IN PHILADELPHIA BEFORE OTHER DJ'S IN PHILLY AND EVERYWHERE ELSE STARTED DOING IT.HE TURNED HIS TURNATBLES THAT WAY BECAUSE HE SAID HE KEPT HITTING THE NEEDLES SO HE ADJUSTED IT TO WHERE HE DIDNT HIT THE NEEDLES ANY MORE.
what's that jawn at 1:07?! i know it but it's escaping me and frustrating i cant remember it.
ain't no half steppin by BDK
He slipped my friend a Mickey
Uuuu 👌👍👍👍
I think the 1990 & 1998 us finals are the most complete events as the standard was so high. However The 1990 us video is weird as they credited Tray Ski when it was Diamond Jay. Named Miz as defending when he was 1989 defending runner up. And also removed the announcements for the top 3.
I'm also curious as to why Aladdin never returned to defend his title .Although he may have been busy touring or recording his Low Profile album.
Did you rip your content from vhs or dvd as your content is so clear ( All my vids had macrovision protection which made it difficult to get a clear rip ) And do you have any rips of Cutmaster Swifts Uk final 1988 or dj pogo or dj excel 1997 uk final?
Thanks for sharing.
I think the '91 US Finals deserves a shout too--Q-Bert, Rectangle, Baby G, Steve Dee, Pumpin' Pete, Supreme, Boogie Boy, Exotic E, and Eddie Fuentes
Also, they mislabelled Exotic E as Joe Jackboy -- just realized this
Michael Shum Or did Joe Jackboy become Exotic E in 91' when he had the ski mask on?
this was clarified in another thread -- jackboy was the midwest champ but didn’t show for the US final (apparently, he pocketed the dough DMC gave him to get to NYC) -- exotic e was the southeast runner-up to diamond j that year, and the top 2 finishers in each region got to compete in the final
Red Alert on the side looking like How the fk did u get here? lol
Red alert Never battled so i don't know how he could be thinking that.
Red Alert was well aware of Miz' capabilities, so he knows how he got there. This just wasn't his night unfortunately
😣
Poor guys Twitching!
1:23-2:13 Glitch music...
Amazing!
Those 1200s were trashhhh!.. needle skipping and no traction .. that’s why he was disgusted!
Miz a beast he did juggle pattern on another video that is etched in my mind forever see if I can find link
must've been his "fast life" routine at the 89 us final or the cash money & marvelous juggle in the 89 seminar
Is that Red Alert in the back???
Justin Carr yup and jazzy jay, richie rich
@@MichaelShum I never clocked Jazzy Jay although I don't think I'd reconise Richie Rich,I love these early DMC vids it shows how difficult it was with vinyl,Jazzy Jeff is my fave DJ he just pips it from Cash Money (both dead nice guys I've met both of them) I don't know what it was but in the eighties Philly DJs were fire (I'm from the U.K so no bias) but there was also Steady Bs DJ Grandwizard K.D,the original Spinbad (who CashMoney claims to have invented the transformer) and Schooly Ds Code Money to name a few.Closer to home I went to a few DMC qualifiers and I remember Hucthy with his great showmanship,anyway enough rambling I'll enjoy going through your vids (p.s Talking of Richie Rich can you remember a tune he did called Don't Be Flash?I used to love it but I don't know anyone who can remember it.)
You can see by his body language that he gave up at 5.40 onwards.
Pretty crap set...shame though ashe is a skilled scratcher/juggler.
Guess it just wasn't his night.
Miz is way better than that
weres miz v alladin new music seminar both cuttin up ll cool j jack the ripper cant find it 4 shit miz destroyed the "how ya like me now " transformer ?
it's on rob swift's channel
Name of the song at 5:14?
Dj Cash Money and Marvelous : Ugly People Be Quiet @ 514
in 1990 those tracks was already aired?i thoughta ive heard some off them later in 90's as fresh dropped chit?im old so i can b wrong;))
the PE, BDK and grandmaster flash are all from the 80s :)
Michael Shum so last boy scout plagiated whole track on his lp?:)),thats why wondering i know some tracks as later 90's not exact in 1990 already.prolly i remember samples as main melody line.
i think he there was to be a spin move but be cause the record was not cued up right and he couldnt chance doing it and be not on time.
Mixed
😿Xcode
Song at 2:00?
big daddy kane ain’t no half steppin
Blind Alley
Almost as bad as DJ Aladdin's con2000 performance towards the end but at least he knew when to walk away.
Doooog that ish was hella funny but hella sad at the same time.
Aladdin in that 2000 showcase was super DRUNK. So It doesn't count. Plus most of those attendants that night didn't care about that because they know he has already paid his dues as a real world DMC champion from 89" that got cheated out by NY/Philly Djs. Remember Cash Money: "I am not going to defend my title, i want to judge". That was to cheat out Aladdin from a world title. NY was at a major rivalry with L.A. at the time, and under no circumstance were these east coast scratchless cats going to let a Dj from Compton like Aladdin take the world throne.
Aladdin at SkratchCon was the best part of SkratchCon.
Whats the name to that vinyl on 0:36
his first tune is public enemy #1
But u may be looking for Blow Your Head by The J.B.'s
That was a proper lame performance at the time and has got worse with age. He was heavy handed and messed up big time.
what a mess...
mess up to many times
It just wasn't his night
@@MichaelShum baby g said the same thing in an interview when he won it, he claimed that he would’ve won if it wasn’t for the needle skipping and Miz having the records qued correctly
So many mistakes, and slower....
This sucks compared to Jeff and Cash

This wasn’t all that good
