My Favorite DJ's Favorite DJs
My Favorite DJ's Favorite DJs.
Yep. One of my favorites of all time is Jazzy Jeff. Not to be denied Jazz has definitely been the prototype for the Hip Hop DJ since he first bust on the scene with super duper Mega-Star (...gets paid over 20 million a flick) Will Smith (then known as "The Fresh Prince"). In Hip Hop when these 2 guys came out back in the day the DJ's name was usually first on the flyers and then the records....Grandmaster Flash...& The Furious Five, Afrika Bambaataa & ...The Soul Sonic Force, Cash Money & Marvelous....Eric B & Rakim, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth, Lonzo & The Wreckin' Cru, .....Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. Both have been in the entertainment industry for over 20 years now and they have definitely made a HUGE impact on Hip Hop, Urban & Pop Culture. Even though back then a lot of kids around where I live thought they were "wack" or "soft"...but they didn't know that Jazzy Jeff won the DJ Battle For World Supremacy in 1986...he was one of the early New Music Seminar DJ Battle winners if I'm not mistaken!

Next favorite DJ? I gotta roll with Primo. DJ Premier. He's soooo funky wit' it. Always bringing you some crazy scratches for hooks in songs. Always using the turntables to help to tell the story, paint the picture...set the mood for whatever it is he's trying to present to you in a musical format that is usually always guaranteed to keep yo head noddin'.

J Dilla. Yep. He was a DJ too. Producer, MC, Songwriter. . . . Genius. Created some of the greatest soundscapes in the history of all Hip Hop. Right from Detroit. Made so many beats we can hardly count 'em. . . . .Just check with his boy House Shoes. Shoes will tell you. Dilla was a straight studio rat. Stayed on the grind for so long and now that he's gone he's finally getting some credit...but still not enough for me. Hip Hop History cannot deny it. This kid made classics. De La...Tribe...Common...Slum Village, Phat Kat, Black Milk, Finale....Platinum Pied Pipers....aaaaah Detroit. Detroit has such a RICH musical history in every genre of music and it's in my home state.
