^and timing, gotta love the 20 second intervals, east coast style!

Kid Capri keeps the energy levels at a peak

the guy thinks he is a legend in the game when he isnt

Dick maybe...legend, definately.

Fam, Idk what you classify as being a legend. But Kid Capri is a LEGEND in this game. No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

Kid Capri birthed a lot of Djs and their style. He is definitely a legend.

i said he's not a legend yet he will be one day

i said he's not a legend yet he will be one day

true legends include: Grandmaster flash, Jazzy Jeff, DJ AM, Qbert, The 45 King.... the list could go on and on

no doubt capri will be a legend one day but he needs to calm the f down and stop acting like he is royalty

Interesting, Kid Capri started DJn when he was 8! He was Djn at Studio 54 which was big in the 70's and early 80's.

en.wikipedia.org

That's what I don't understand about the "one day" thing, he's been Djing for nearing 40 years, been a part of the scene from the beginning and then some. But maybe one day he can be a legend like Dj AM?

Kid Capri has deejayed for seven seasons of Def Comedy Jam. He's also produced tracks for Boogie Down Productions, Heavy D, Big L, Grand Puba, and --->Quincy Jones.<--

So Kid Capri isn't a legend but Qbert and DJ AM are? Um yea ok lol

Now Q is definately a legend in his own right, without a doubt. While I really liked AM as he seemed cool and got a lot of people into DJ'ing (regardless of wether you think thats a good thing or not) I wouldnt have regarded him a legend while he was alive (RIP) but I think that because of his untimely death, a certain mystique surrounds him (you know what I mean guys, lets not get into the right/wrong thing) that makes his name legendary.

Theres plenty of better performers, but he's still a legend. Grandmaster Flash isnt the best technical Dj, but he's still a legend..

If you disagree with me then look up some videos of AM live vs. Kid Capri. AM was the ultimate party rocker it shows in every video. Just my opinion

Definetly. Yes he is a legend that's already been proven. He has hella yrs of experience over AM. But In all honestly musically AM was more inovative and creative with his sets eventhough he planned most his shit. Capri does not look like he plans his sets cause he knows what music will work anyways. Judging from both DJ's scratching I have to hand it to AM that mofo's scratch game Is just NASTY! In my eyes they are both legends. But who would I rather have rock a party I'd have to go with AM cause he's more of a multi-format DJ. Capri's got the hip hop on lock thou.

true legends include: Grandmaster flash, Jazzy Jeff, DJ AM, Qbert, The 45 King.... the list could go on and on

I'm gonna get alot of hate for this but AM is an all around better performer. His sets are creative as hell totally on a diff level than Capri. No lie Capri is fuckin dope with the mic work. AM never needed a mic his mixes spoke for itself. I would not necessarily say Capri killed it, he had all the bangers ready to go and knew what time drop at the right time. He knew musically what would work for that type of crowd and ran with it. If you disagree with me then look up some videos of AM live vs. Kid Capri.

Kid Capri birthed a lot of Djs and their style. He is definitely a legend.

isnt that the definition of killin it? Basically what you said there is "he didnt do that great people just liked it because he did everything perfectly and knew exactly what he was doing. "

No disprespect, but I didn't even know who DJ AM WAS until I got on this board...

Kid Capri has been around since before y'all was born.

Both are legends.

its a case of each to there own everybody is entitled to an opinion my opinion is that he isnt a legend in some of yours he is

no doubt he has skill's he has probably forgotten more than i will ever learn and ill admit rocked the party in the video its all good

just leave it there on my opinions of him i do put those other dj's infront of him and thats we class people legendary in our own right just because he isnt a legend to me dont mean he's not a legend to millions of people

its all opinion's people just remember that!

the main thing is that we all love the music now thats something we all agree on?

AM's best set ever hands down! He is fucking shit up son!

i can copy the exact routine, but there is something in AM's scratching what makes it so... different.

Really? Post a video,i would love to see that...

Yeah, that set is banging BUT Kid Capri was doing blends in '88, '89. He did the impeach the president and Stephanie Mills blend kept it on time when it was just two turntables, mic and a mixer but he did it without you realizing it. Plus this was when R&B didn't sound NOTHING like this. He was bascially starting the whole hip hop&r&b trend that was going to take over the '90's. So calling Kid Capri a regular DJ or not a legend is crazy.

If thats Dj AM (RIP) best set ever (correct me if I'm wrong) that is serato that he is using and Kid Capri 45 set was straight vinyl no serato. That means that Kid Capri set was more creative then AM. Another question could AM pull off that 45 routine? We all know that Capri could do that serato set.

It's not a really difficult routine, if you put a bit work in practicing, you can do it too. Only problem is to make it sound so damn good, his scratches are so on point and different sounding, THAT part is not so easy to learn.

The things for example SpareChange does in his vids, is way more technical and harder to learn.

Exactly...

And I'm not a die hard fan, as my inspirations were Grandmaster Flash, DST, then Fast Forward to Scratch, and Jazzy Jeff...

Like I said in that whole Masters Of The Mix Thread, I thought Kid Capri should NOT have been judging ANOTHER LEGEND - DJ Scratch...

But hey, TV is what it is...

This whole MASHUP thing is a joke too...which tells how far apart the DJ game fell...

C'mon, DJ's BEEN "BLENDING" or "MIXING" multiple genres since......what? ROCK BOX?

I couldn't believe the MASHUP craze took the world by storm...

For anyone who was ALREADY a DJ before the whole Vegas/Hollywood/DJ AM era, this was part of the BASICS of DJ'ing...

To be blunt, DJ AM made a bunch of White Kids look in the mrror, and say, "Hey, I could do this, and factor in the convenience of a laptop and serato/vdj, it was on and crackin' like the art was reborn.

DJ AM influenced an ARMY of one particular demographic that WAS NOT in synch with the art until HE did it...

Capri spanned multiple Genre's, Age Groups, Races, Ethniticys, and so on and so forth...

And again, I'm not a die hard fan, but I respect my DJ Elders...

PS...

I checked dudes rendention of the Wonder Wall vid...

Very close, very close....props..

If I've learned anything on this forum since 2005, Most DJ's here only care about the present with no regard to the past.

some cats on here talking mad crazy. don't know a thing about the DJ game. I'm so ashamed of my craft these days.

Thanx Johnny,
But it's still the 'different' kind of scratching AM uses, what makes my routine not even close to his. That's what i ment in my previous posts, the order of the routine is almost identical, but his is much more comfertable listening to, there is a special kind of flow in his scratching. It's hard to explain, also because English is not my primary language.

And to Chad, respectfully, there's a difference between you not knowing a guy who put out records with some of the biggest legends in Hip Hop with a career spanning 40 years and us not knowing a guy who was famous in the Top 40 hollywood scene for a few years post-Serato era until we came to a Serato board. has nothing to do with age. I know plenty of younger Dj's who had no clue who AM was when he passed. When "hands down" your "best ever" moment is the time you put a drum beat over an Oasis record, it's hard to compare that to the kind of legacy Kid Capri has and will leave.

AM had an army of young club going fans, maybe. But how long do they last?

But you've never heard of them because they aren't your genre. That means they can't be legends?

I bet most of you don't know who Breakage or Fanu are. Those guys are pioneers, breaking grounds and spreading new sounds. They are recognized world wide and tour as well. But you've never heard of them because they aren't your genre. That means they can't be legends?

Without guys like Z-trip and AM do you think mashup and genre blending would be what it is?

DJ AM influenced an ARMY of one particular demographic that WAS NOT in synch with the art until HE did it...

They weren't called mashups back then that's prob why. Z-Trip and AM are just known for that type of genre known as "mashup" Z-Trip was doing the mashup thing way before AM.

i can see valid points all around :)

Most dj's I know, don't know much about hip hop and the roots of that dj culture. To them it's the same as knowing country western stars, it doesn't matter.

Exactly...

I would think that Legendary status would be applied to the Genre as a WHOLE, not necessarily a slice of time that someone may have been familiar with.

It's like giving GE props, but forgetting about Thomas Edison.

True, I agree there is a difference to you.

I know that Kid Capri has much less personal impact on me than Dj AM had.

A legend is a personal thing and can also be an industry thing.

Without guys like Z-trip and AM do you think mashup and genre blending would be what it is? I don't. That must mean he inspired a few people and to them, became a personal legend.

Has he broken as much ground as Kid Capri?..... No. Capri has been around for ages paving the way and being a pioneer in certain aspects. Could AM of had that same lasting reputation?

Some of your hero's I could give two shakes about.

I find that the majority of the people who were so blown away by things like the Oasis/drum beat set, are Dj's who just weren't exposed to that kind of thing before so to them it's new territory and since he exposed them to it, it's as if he invented this style of Djing.

I'll make it even simpler.

I'M CONSIDERED (yes, I know) a LEGEND in some peoples eyes.

To those of us who have been around the block and remember when that stuff was key to being a Dj, it's not so burned into our memories as some sort of phenomenon. (AM himself comes from that era, yet because of Youtube and him only being famous the last 4-5 years of his life, new Dj's were only just seeing this stuff now since it was kind of a lost art amongst the new generation)

And I don't want to speak for any of the vets here, but I think that if most of us were to see him do that back in the say when it was standard, we'd probably throw our hands up "whoooooaa" giving him props on a cool mix, but it's in the moment and then the moment would pass, we wouldn't be so "changed" by the moment because it's really what a good Dj should be doing anyway (and yes he was good at what he did)

i really never thought AM was all that amazing. like what he said... it's all pretty standard.

I agree.....your total distruction of sixxx is definatley legendary!!!

Well thought out and articulated points Shamann, I like how you roll :)

Here's why i thought AM was so amazing at the time.

1. There currently wasn't another dj popular doing the stuff he was doing on serato. I am not talking about vinyl.

and I hope no one takes offense.

Stopped reading right there...

So his ability to manipulate SOFTWARE better than anybody else (In your opinion) to DJ is Greatness?

Other dj's may of had it but he blew up worldwide and was known as America's Top DJ. Do I think he was. Yes most definetly overall he was america's top DJ he did mixes that worked globally and read a crowd better than any dj I've seen.

Yes he learned the in's and out's of serato to it's full potential to me that is greatness. There was currently no other dj using serato the way he was and doing it the way he did digitally. If I'm not mistaken he was one of the first that i heard about commercially using relative mode.

Here's why i thought AM was so amazing at the time.

1. There currently wasn't another dj popular doing the stuff he was doing on serato. I am not talking about vinyl.
2. He's the first dj i ever seen truly rock relative mode and was super quick at it.
3. I never knew what he was going to mix in next and that's what i truly loved about him.
4. He had rare acappella samples from the 80's, 90's and present that he'd drop over current hits in this era of digital dj'ing.
5. His creativity was far diff than any DJ I've seen in this era I'm not talking about back in the day.
6. He's the main reason I bought serato. He was the one who pioneered serato for me. Other dj's may of had it but he blew up worldwide and was known as America's Top DJ. Do I think he was. Yes most definetly overall he was america's top DJ he did mixes that worked globally and read a crowd better than any dj I've seen.

Alot of this is personal opinion that is based off your georgaphic location, I have a feeling i was brought up around the same camps you were, with a bunch of DJs who wanted to be the next icey, all about the breaks with not alot if any overly talented hiphop DJs so when AM hit big it was like holy shit look at that....i thinkin other areas what he was doing wasnt exactly groundbreaking. Have you ever seen him play live?

So i researched him on youtube and was inspired by the way he played as a serato user and that's why I got serato.

and i believe even Jazzy Jeff cause I did not hear about Jazzy commercially until I seen him DJ'ing with AM.

And what's really funny about this whole convo is all the dj's that were mentioned before AM. Half of them are all back into dj'ing using serato now some passed away.

This speaks volumes...dude, you just aren't THAT familiar with the DJ scene and it's pioneers....but it's cool.

Like I said AM was the first DJ in the press that i heard about to pioneer Serato. I am talking about serato itself not oldschool vinyl cats that paved the way. If you disagree with me than you are wrong. He was hot shit with relative mode and I did see other dj's using relative mode like kevin scott, dj vice but they weren't using it like AM was at the time, nore were they doing cuts like AM was at the time.

But your WHOLE PREMISE is based on who could press buttons the quickest...

You basically are viewing this in a Narrow "Ok, who was the FIRST GOOD DJ to rock Serato" stance....

And to tell you the truth, that Vid of DJ AM is not impressive, as there are a LOT of mistakes...

When have you EVER seen Jeff make a mistake?

I can't believe I'm entertaining a discussion of DJ Jazzy Jeff vs. DJ AM.

I can't believe I'm entertaining a discussion of DJ Jazzy Jeff vs. DJ AM.

LOL. AM hardly pressed buttons I am talking about his creative skill to blend all forms of genres only the way he could.

I have never seen Jeff make a mistake but I will say this and other dj's have agreed with me. That AM is not as good a scratcher as Jazzy but AM is a better mixer than Jazzy.

I can actually pull up a few videos of Jazzy that don't sound good at all

But on a more creative side with serato I have to hand it to AM. Jazzy was mostly a hip hop DJ. AM was an all around DJ who mixed many genres and did it well..

So, you gonna act like you don't see DJ AM pressin' all them damn buttons and cue points?

I can actually pull up a few videos of Jazzy that don't sound good at all

Oh, yeah? list the MANY Genres that AM used to mix together...

You don't even get that AM was inspired by Jeff...

I'M CONSIDERED (yes, I know) a LEGEND

I'm sure alot of pioneers of vinyl can do the same as well..but were they doing it in this era as digital dj's?

If you could name some other dj's that were using serato around the same time AM was then I'd like to know cause he really pushed serato for me

His creativity was far diff than any DJ I've seen in this era I'm not talking about back in the day.

he catered to the american crowd as any DJ should

Dude AM mixed rock, hip hop, house, bmore, 80's, 90's he catered to the american crowd as any DJ would of done if there were America's Top DJ.

Wow..really there's one where they are both dj'ing in Miami and Jazzy's set is actually sloppy.

TBH I'm starting to feel like I'm bashing the guy and I'm not, I'm also not here to attack anyone's personal tastes, but I was shocked when I read that Kid Capri was not a legend but AM was

God this video's depressing I know Premier is fillin in for AM and all but that crowd just looks absolutely bored lol..I wouldn't be playing that bullshit in Vegas @ Rain Nightclub that's for damn sure. Jazzy even looks bored..I understand the oldschool hip hop and all but there's a time and place for everything and that unfortunately wasn't the time u feel me

Ok, where is the vid?

I had never said Capri wasn't a legend. What I'm trying to say is AM was the most popular in this digital era as a commercial DJ when he first started using serato. I did not know of him when he was on vinyl before serato I don't live in hollywood. Why I respect AM so much is cause he took his ruff life of growing up and turned it into a positive by perfecting his craft. He was overweight, father died of aids, tryed to kill himself, and in the end he became one of the biggest dj's in the world in his prime. Did he deserve to be America's Top DJ absolutely. He earned every bit of that.

I had never said Capri wasn't a legend

He was overweight, father died of aids, tryed to kill himself, and in the end he became one of the biggest dj's in the world in his prime

Again, I'm gonna be blunt.

He catered to (and don't get offended), the Average White Male kid who had NO background in DJ'ing, and thought it was a COOL THING TO DO, and then embarked on their DJ journey, assuming they'd get a chick like Nicole Richie, and do Vegas parties.

What I'm trying to say is AM was the most popular in this digital era as a commercial DJ when he first started using serato.

I'm going to have to disagree with you if anything he catered to the females which is what 90% of dj's have to do. It is our job to keep them moving. I am not offended by it at all cause I know I'm a good dj not some kid. I'm almost 28 yrs old and have been dj'ing a good 5 or more yrs before I even got serato.

So there it is.

You are putting AM's PERSONAL TRIUMPHS over all of those who paved the way for him.

I am not offended by it at all cause I know I'm a good dj not some kid. I'm almost 28 yrs old and have been dj'ing a good 5 or more yrs before I even got serato.

And then ended up killing himself anyway. In the Amy Winehouse thread you said "wasn't she a pill popping drunk anyway" and i was just going to say "weren't you a Dj AM fanboy" but left it alone, but now that I see the way you put it with AM vs. others, it's a bit contradictory and hard to take seriously.

I mean you want to know what i personally think of Kid Capri? When I saw that video of him after getting punched in the face I thought "yeah but what did he do five minutes before the camera started rolling?". But I'm not basing my opinions off of personality.

He catered to (and don't get offended), the Average White Male kid who had NO background in DJ'ing, and thought it was a COOL THING TO DO, and then embarked on their DJ journey, assuming they'd get a chick like Nicole Richie, and do Vegas parties.

you are right he did end up killing himself. He was in a plane crash and suffered post traumatic stress after surviving the crash. He had an acute intoxication from a combination of cocaine and prescription drugs when he died.

I gotta agree with this.

In that aspect of "Catering" I meant who he INFLUENCED AS A DJ to become a DJ, and that person is YOU.

I'm not talking about who he played for in general...

goo.gl I said to buy sterling silver charm ring roses! Doing very fine! You like it?

Dude fuck you.

you are right he did end up killing himself. He was in a plane crash and suffered post traumatic stress after surviving the crash. He had an acute intoxication from a combination of cocaine and prescription drugs when he died.

Ok, let's put this to the test.

When did you get Serato?

Dude fuck you.

Would he of been famous without her. Yes NO.

So what you're saying is one custy has an excuse the other doesn't?

I know he was in a plane crash and i know how he died. He tried killing himself once, gun jammed, second chance at life. He was in a plane crash and given yet ANOTHER chance at life, others on the plane weren't so lucky and would probably trade places with him if he didn't want to take the blessing he was given, because clearly someone up there was looking out for him. What does he do with it? Takes himself out anyway.

There were Dj's out there who would kill to be in his shoes, he killed himself to get out of them.

Why is it okay for him, but not Winehouse who made a much bigger contribution to the music world many times over, because to you it's personal, and that's the point. You can't see passed your own biases.

Wow.

And for the record I got serato in like 07 or 08.

bro what really in the fuck does this have to do with amy winehouse. She was a pill popping drunk and had a drug problem. AM was actually sober for months then randomly killed himself. I don't really give a damn about amy winehouse I am a DJ that's what I love. She had like 1 or 2 hits singing isn't my cup of tea im sorry.

because to you it's personal, and that's the point. You can't see passed your own biases.

Ok, let's say 2007, and you were DJ'ing 5 years prior?

That's 2002...

And you hadn't heard of Jazzy Jeff until he was hanging out with DJ AM?

smh....

What DJ's had you heard of before?

Oh, and before you get froggy, that "Digital Divide" won't help you a LICK on this here board, as I will WAX you with nothing more than a bunch of 45's.

Real talk.

Dude I had heard of Jazzy before I never said that! I already stated previously i knew he was a dj with will smith but I didn't know he was that dope until i actually researched him on youtube.

really? i am always up for a battle man lol. I'm not scared and im not backing down.

The point is you're star struck, and you can't see passed your own fanboyism. How is one of the two different than the other in their addiction, the way you make excuse for him proves that your opinion in this conversation needs to be taken with a grain of salt, you let personal feelings get in the way of seeing things for what they are.

I'm not talking about who he played for in general...

Tecniq...you say you dont care but look at the last posts. Ya talking to yourself dude. He must have pissed you right off lol

Take a chill pill bro. You are talking to yaself again lol. Calm down.

lol..well honestly i'm bored and i like to chat lol.. He's prob baggin groceries right now I don't really know.

Kid Capri is a legend. DJ AM is a legend. DJ Jazzy Jeff is a legend. Move the fuck on everybody!

Another dude that reminds me of AM in style and almost identical to AM is DJ Chachi what a fucking beast!

Watchwww.youtube.com

chachi is dope! i still like flipside better tho...

flipside is dope too. But I don't think he can do the scratches that Chachi can. Chachi's mixes to me are 10 x's cleaner. No lie though i used to watch flipside's video's from B96 on youtube and seen some of his performances. Chachi is like AM's clone lol..they do the exact same scratch techniques and flow is much the same.

JUDGES???

lol im gonna look more chachi videos then,cause to me flipside's scratches are cleaner but then again, i never really watched too many chachi's videos (nm)

Wow..I wish I had the time to look up your youtube video (if you have one) but im not that pathetic nore do I care. But I will say this those 45's will do shit for you cause I'm gonna go all out. You may be older than me and have more knowledge but I doubt you are on my skill level and I can't wait to prove that in this very thread.

I'm still not understanding how ppl can't classify AM as a legend..I mean listen to this fucking mix. His shit was mad proper is all im saying. He was the most creative commercial DJ with serato during his time. Not afraid to say it. He was pullin mixes that were so dope in his own way. He pioneered they way for serato digitally.
Watchwww.youtube.com Watchwww.youtube.com

LOL... Johnny leave the kid alone. It's obviously personal for that guy. As an older man u should let him have a pass since he has let this turn emotional. If u do wax him whats there to gain for u ? Everybody will just say that u beat a guy thats been in the game a fraction of the time u have.

Party Pooper.

He did get mad emotional tho....lol.

You can't be SERIOUS that you think OTHER / OLDER DJ's GOT back on the scene because of DJ AM?

How about Jazzy Jeff and a few other cats breaking barriers and showing them (older DJ's - myself included) that if HE can (with relative mode) do what makes Jeff funky, then go out and purchase Serato....and I can testify to that...

No I never seen him play live I was too busy playing my shitty gigs unfortunately. But he was a huge inspiration for me cause he was the main dj to really "pioneer serato" you also have to understand im only 27. I really didn't get back into dj'ing till serato. I've been spinning for over 10 yrs most of those yrs I was busy dj'ing in clubs. And as sad as it sounds I didn't even know Jazzy Jeff was that dope of a dj until a few yrs ago. I knew he was a DJ but only knew him from Fresh Prince lol..he always got kicked out the house. When I first started dj'ing when I was 18 I was really into electronic music & underground electro. I knew of a few turntablists but that was mainly it.

So its exactly what i thought, i understand where your comming from because i was in the exact same situation when i got into DJIng, we both come from smaller areas of the southeast which really dosent have a deep history with the art and culture of DJing outside of the FL breaks movment. If Im right you grew up idolizing cats like icey or mabye jackal and hyde or j break...cats who spun dope breaks or other kinds of EDM and "hip hop" DJs seemd kinda wack because all they were doin was playing the same radio bullshit that was on the radio, not really being creative. Then up pops AM onto the TV and shows us something that we find mindblowing....but in reality was an everyday thing in other places so since that was our first exposure it puts him on that pedistal in our mind but you gotta really look into this stuff to see that he WASNT the once and future king that we percieve him as because there is TONS of non celeb dudes who were layin it down like that if not more. People like Ztrip and enferno and spinbad and jeff ect ect who were pushing that creative envelope and guys like capris layin down groundwork for others to follow and all kinds of other DJs from NY and LA that me and you prob STILL have never heard of who were just as beastish.

You GOTTA accept that your view on this is VERY personally biassed, how on earth can you make a statment like "Yes most definetly overall he was america's top DJ he did mixes that worked globally and read a crowd better than any dj I've seen" when A) he never won that title anywhere (i googled to make sure and im seeing his name on tons of top ten or top 50 but nowgere am i seeing him in the #1 spot) and B) youve never seen him play live? How can you comment on his crowd reading when youve never been in the crowd for him?? You entire judgment of his skills is based on mixtapes he released (you obviously never put out the bad ones) and 10 minute youtube snippets. Also you can tell this is personal and kinda innaccurate because of the sheer amount of qualifiers to use when describing his achievements, like "he was the best DJ IVE SEEN USING SERATO COMMERCIALLY WEARING A NICE SHIRT" your already limiting the field with commercially when again with onlu serato then even further with nice shirtm if someone needs that many qualifiers then the point is being majorly stretched. The most important being when you say COMMERCIALLY, thar right there should tell you what it is.

Im not dissin when I say this but your opinion of AM is similar to a highschool kid comming on a hiphop forum and saying lil wayne is the best rapper ever because it was the first rap albumhe ever owned, he has several thousand mixtapes, has shirts in hot topic, makes rock albums as well as rap, and has been on every rap single released for the last 3 years lol.

I started djing around 93-94 then took a break during the jiggy Hip-Hop era. I got back in djing with Serato after seeing Jeff crush a party with it in about 06.

I did not see Jazzy Jeff using Serato until after AM. Although Jazzy Jeff is dope. I didn't really see Jazzy using it until I saw him spinning with AM

M.Bezzle where is the battle thread for Dj Tecniq vs Dj Johnnym_vSL3

danit Bezzle you slacking....lol


*******double tracking**************

you also admittidley didnt really know Jeff was anything but will smiths other half and uncle phils tackling dummy until AM

First person I ever seen using Serato was Jazzy. I was like, finally!!!! No more 80 pound anvil crates. This was the first video of serato I saw. Watchwww.youtube.com

Also Serato was out longer than that. One of my homies had one of the first software builds on an old laptop and it was horrid to be quite honest. Nothing worked correctly so he gave up on it. It wasnt until years later that he updated the software and really started using it.

Sorry I should of said "AM was able to market it more due to his high profile" And no one really answered my question yet when I said to find a DJ "BEFORE" AM that was marketing Serato that was well known. No one will answer that question cause AM pioneered Serato he was like the flagship DJ for Serato at the time. Am I wrong?

I know a track beta tested serato before it was released to the public and i doubt that Jeff video is from 02,didnt serato came out on 04?

I think the point your missing is why does this matter?

This matters because if it wasn't for AM blowing up globally worldwide I prob never woulda got Serato so soon. I was going to quit dj'ing then I heard about this hollywood dj getting paid $20k a gig and using Serato software. It was like he brought all the fun into dj'ing again. So i got Serato in like 06 or 07 I don't know how to tell cause I bought it @ a samash store nore do i have to reciept anymore.

and....any of that matters why? lol Seriously though what if you had heard that the exact same DJ was getting $20k a gig using vinyl, would you have gone back using vinyl...or what if your local Divebar dj showed you serato, would HE be a legend? lol

no he most certinly was not

This is just pointless (like most convos on these boards). Just accept each others opinions and move on I say.

right..I hate when ppl can't see things from anothers point of view. That bothers the hell out of me. I don't have a problem admitting I was wrong. Like I'm completely over it already. I feel like a bunch of ppl in here are hating on AM when he was one of the first to start using serato. That mofo is a pioneer. He should deserve respect just like the elders.

Ok please show me some research or a video of another dj other than AM using serato around the time AM was when Serato was first introduced..I know this is going to be tuff for you.

lol its not an opinion when its a provable fact, AM may have been the first person YOU SAW using serato but he wasnt the first OR only DJ using it

To be honest, the first time I seen Serato was when a local DJ in my city was using it. I only heard of DJ AM when I seen him on Entourage buying trainers (sneakers).

ok first we have to determine when AM was first using serato, also mabye the mods can chip in here and let us know if AM was the first DJ to purchase scratchlive, it shouldnt be hard to remember since according to you he was the only sale they made that year

eric ling 9:54 PM 2 September 2009 Met Adam in 2004 ...i was resident at Lucid ( Toronto ) and he was flying in from L.A - this is before he Blew up and started dating Nicole Richie... he was super humble and super talented.. i remember his first record he played that night ' The Cure's "' Close to you " - He absolutely destroyed the club that night and i was scared to close out the night as he had everybody bouncing off the walls.. Man .. he was the real deal...a true party dj- who rocked everything form Guns and Roses , Daft Punk , Oasis to Aerosmith and his mixing was unreal.. OH - this was before Serato...so we were rocking vinyl.. So much talent... i miss his " Rock With You " Michael Jackson mix that he would ride into the acapella.. Unreal ! A true pioneer.. i hope you found peace Adam..You will be missed .

So this ends the entire discussion there you have right there. Everyone earlier who said AM wasn't a pioneer or legend can close there legs now. And this is the thread that started it all for me which was created March 2006 when Sam said AM was the first DJ he truly saw rock relative mode.

serato.com

you also admittidley didnt really know Jeff was anything but will smiths other half and uncle phils tackling dummy until AM

^ That whole thread right there is what made most dj's on this forum start using relative mode, and that was back in 06! This is my whole point to the damn discussion. If you read the entire thread you will see that most dj's were using abs mode including myself. That thread is what made me stop using abs and using relative.

Konix 8:31 PM 14 March 2006 Pretty cool. I almost always use relative mode also, I rarely use absolute mode.

So saying AM wasn't a pioneer is a load of bullshit. He was a huge pioneer in this digital era. Half of those fucking dj's in that thread didn't know what relative could even do even myself! That ends this entire discussion.

el presidente 10:16 PM 14 March 2006 i use relative almost exculsively also. and anewsome is right, cue points are the key. plus its great for preventing cue burn on the record.

When I first got SSL I always used Absolute, but since my boy showed me the possibilites with Relative, I use that mostly (except when rocking doubles, I always use Absolute with that). Relative mode is great for quick mixing, which like another thread pointed out, is a must in NYC clubs (depends on the crowd, but it's rare you can rock a full song).

Konix 8:31 PM 14 March 2006 Pretty cool. I almost always use relative mode also, I rarely use absolute mode

bush 6:13 AM 15 March 2006 Relative > Everything. Ive used it from the day I got it. 1983 heads are missing out using absolute

Dj Skream 7:26 AM 15 March 2006 its that simple gentlemen and female dj's (if there is any)(that use Serato).. you set markers on your cues... and your turntables become from an ordinary instrument to a virtual instrument!... I only use my absolute mode when I want to go to the begining of the track if I dont have a cue for that,.. just by switching from F2 to F1 and Vice/Versa,.. its even easier if you put stickers to label them or all three so you wont press the wrong one by accident,.. it could happen!.. But pay attention to where your needle is going.. cuz you can get carried away and when you don't realize it, you are at the end of the control record trying to load a song,..careful because it won't!! Then you're gonna be sweatin that you cant load a track and start blaming Serato for problems with the program.. lol!
Since the first day I got Serato about close to a year ago I started with relative mode,.. plus you're needles wont skip,.. unless you're a total heavy hander!.. remember Turntables are a delicate instrument,.. you gotta have finesse,.. its an Art!... PEACE!!

Konix 8:31 PM 14 March 2006 Pretty cool. I almost always use relative mode also, I rarely use absolute mode.

illkid 7:41 AM 15 March 2006 i use relative mode only, just the pitch drift is annoying quotereportlink

nik39 7:56 AM 15 March 2006 Wit relative mode you hust have to hit "i" for left deck and "k" for right deck to jump to the beginning of the song (its the temp cue point).

I am talking about WELL KNOWN DJ'S with a name that were traveling the world playing gigs! None of that matters cause it was a video of AM using relative mode.

AM was the most popular DJ when serato was first introduced and that's been proven.

Show me another DJ that was out there before AM rockin serato.

I just posted several, when scratchlive was released AM hadnt blown up yet, he made that purchase just like hundreds or thousands of other DJs did.

Hell if you want to see a pioneer look at what enferno was doing in 06

When AM was a lil fat kid thinking about being a DJ, Kid Capri was DJing Def Comedy Jam on National TV Weekly.

[/thread]

www.escapecomics.com

You posted several yes but none of that matters.

I wouldn't of gotten Serato if it wasn't for AM

I still can't believe your're on some "Well known DJ's" BS, when you didn't even know that Jazzy Jeff was a DJ.

A GOOD ONE.

. Your not getting what I'm trying to say.

no i do and thats why im trying to educate here because its kinda sad...here lets try something else a little less emotionally involved


Who is a better rapper big L or lil wayne?

Yeah we "GET IT" tecniq. U do 100 HAIL AM'S (no hail mary) every morning. AM was your idol...that doesn't not universally qualify him to be a legend

dude shut the hell up and post your god damn video. I never said i didn't know he was a dj u moron I said I knew he was a dj but i never knew he was a dope dj. put up or shut up

He catered to (and don't get offended), the Average White Male kid who had NO background in DJ'ing, and thought it was a COOL THING TO DO, and then embarked on their DJ journey, assuming they'd get a chick like Nicole Richie, and do Vegas parties.

When serato first came out there wasn't other big DJ's currently using it that I heard about.

So its exactly what i thought, i understand where your comming from because i was in the exact same situation when i got into DJIng, we both come from smaller areas of the southeast which really dosent have a deep history with the art and culture of DJing outside of the FL breaks movment. If Im right you grew up idolizing cats like icey or mabye jackal and hyde or j break...cats who spun dope breaks or other kinds of EDM and "hip hop" DJs seemd kinda wack because all they were doin was playing the same radio bullshit that was on the radio, not really being creative. Then up pops AM onto the TV and shows us something that we find mindblowing....but in reality was an everyday thing in other places so since that was our first exposure it puts him on that pedistal in our mind but you gotta really look into this stuff to see that he WASNT the once and future king that we percieve him as because there is TONS of non celeb dudes who were layin it down like that if not more. People like Ztrip and enferno and spinbad and jeff ect ect who were pushing that creative envelope and guys like capris layin down groundwork for others to follow and all kinds of other DJs from NY and LA that me and you prob STILL have never heard of who were just as beastish.

You GOTTA accept that your view on this is VERY personally biassed, how on earth can you make a statment like "Yes most definetly overall he was america's top DJ he did mixes that worked globally and read a crowd better than any dj I've seen" when A) he never won that title anywhere (i googled to make sure and im seeing his name on tons of top ten or top 50 but nowgere am i seeing him in the #1 spot) and B) youve never seen him play live?

The most important being when you say COMMERCIALLY, thar right there should tell you what it is.

Im not dissin when I say this but your opinion of AM is similar to a highschool kid comming on a hiphop forum and saying lil wayne is the best rapper ever because it was the first rap albumhe ever owned, he has several thousand mixtapes, has shirts in hot topic, makes rock albums as well as rap, and has been on every rap single released for the last 3 years lol.

He publicly pioneered Serato in this digital age yes he's a legend. I'm talking about history in this time not back in the day. He was the most talked about dj in the mainstream using Serato.

Look, I know you bowed down and prayed real hard last night at your DJ AM shrine, and with some luck, he spoke to you.

It's PAINFULLY OBVIOUS to everyone on here, that DJ AM was/is your idol, and you'll forever carry his balls in your mouth for the rest of eternity.

But the truth is and I KEEP SAYING IT -


And YOU are that kid....

You have NO BACKGROUND in DJ'ing, and you thought AM was the coolest thing since PopTarts.

You got a thing for Nicole too man?

I have no background in deejaying? lol..bro i have prob won more battles than you have in your whole career you goon. I am not that kid but I'm going to be that kid that owned you on the serato forum. Post up your fucking shitty dj set plz then go take your cough medicine.

Show me another DJ that was out there before AM rockin serato.

"Scratch Live has completely changed the game. Aside from not having to carry 6 crates of records to every gig, I love how you're not limited to just 6 crates of records for each gig. Now, I have access to any song in my entire collection at any point in time. This is great for DJ's who play a wide range of musical genres. Plus, some of the looping and cueing features have made it possible to do things with vinyl that weren't possible before. I honestly can't imagine going back to the way things were before Serato Scratch Live."

I have no background in deejaying? lol..bro i have prob won more battles than you have in your whole career you goon. I am not that kid but I'm going to be that kid that owned you on the serato forum. Post up your fucking shitty dj set plz then go take your cough medicine.

Chrisjin wrote Wow after reading that thread, it sounds like Tecnic got into the Serato game cuz AM was paid $20K a gig, rocked Serato in ABS mode and he is a legend in his eyes. No AM is not that legendary, he was a high profile Hollywood DJ with some skills but he was no Jazzy, Z-Trip, Mixmaster Mike,Roc Raida, A-Trak nor Q-Bert. These dudes didn't get the recognition like AM because unlike AM they didnt go out with a celebrity. They got famous for their skills not by who they knew. I like AM and he was a good dj but the way dude put him on a pedestal made no sense whatsoever or to keep djing because of AM's paycheck.

See I acutually understand where hes comming from because i live in the southeast just like he does and the DJ scene here was never deep so people who were not high profile didnt really penetrate. So I can understand seeing AM do what he does and having your mind blown and pledging alegience but there a point where you have to dig deeper into the history and recognise the truth that he wasnt the savior of DJing and looking into the massive skill and acomplishments of people like Jazzy, Z-Trip, Mixmaster Mike,Roc Raida, A-Trak nor Q-Bert and realise how much more of an impact they made and ar STILL making. My eyes were opened and im tryna pass that along

1:37 PM, 2 Aug 2011
Chrisjin wrote When I first saw AM I was impressed. The shit he did with Nirvana and Planet Rock was nice. AM basically was the Hollywood Djs DJ. But to me he would not compare to those I listed. Hell DJ Rectangle is better than AM IMO

enferno was using scratchlive in his live remix project tour in 06, and he was using it in a MUCH more innovative way

3 whole battles....and you started DJ'ing in 2002....correct?

You guys seem to think AM was just some young kid who got his big break.

I ain't shit. I am a DJ like everyone on this board and I NEVER said "I rule" or that I am better then anyone. People hate or love on ALL of us and there's nothing we can do. I just accept it cause I know I am 100% powerless over others actions. So, all I really CAN worry about in life is my side of the street. I just keep DJing and doing what I think sounds good or will rock a crowd. I am straight up the LUCKIEST guy alive.

Fame, cash and status... has absolutely NOTHING to do with who anyone is AS A PERSON. All that is outside shit that is shallow and shows what you got, not who you are. I like toys and status like the next dude, but I like to look at WHO I AM not what I got.

AM was the flagship dj to really LAUNCH Serato and if you disagree than that's fine but he was booking every major club worldwide a year after serato came out.

I am talking about SERATO DJ'S. AM was the flagship dj to really LAUNCH Serato

He began dating actress Nicole Richie in 2003 and announced their engagement in February 2005.[12] However, the couple broke up in late 2006.[13] "The one thing that stands out about Adam is that I can be myself," Richie said after the breakup.[14] After his breakup with Richie, Goldstein dated singer-actress Mandy Moore

So if Dj AM launched Serato, how is it possible that so many SERATO DJ's, never heard of him until they saw him mentioned on this forum?

I have no idea cause he was on Tv, Radio, Internet everywhere around my part. And hell I'm in Florida not Hollywood.

Even Kid Capri was still using vinyl. They didn't start using Serato until 2007/2008.

it's prob hell of alot more than you have accomplished. I have the pics to prove my trophies they are in my room right now. By that time I had a residency in every club in my area. Nothing big but I started dj'ing after I graduated highschool in 2002 at 18 and accomplished that in just a few yrs.

Jazzy was apparently but unfortunately he wasn't in the spotlight as much till he started spinning with AM.

does flordia somehow have different tv and internet content than the rest of the country?? Also when was he on the radio in Fl

Serato came out in late 2004

Gee, I think I was in THE SOURCE MAGAZINE in, what? 95 or something?

Oh, you wouldn't know about The Source, would you....lmao.

exactly, AM was using serato in January 2005 after he switched from final scratch to serato. All those dj's that were mentioned weren't onto serato yet.

The Source is a hip hop magazine. Good for you but what have you done since then pops?

Serato wasn't released on a whim in hopes that a somewhat known at the time Dj would one day throw a drumbeat over an Oasis record and inspire the world four times over to buy their product.

so....am is responsible for jazzty jeffs rise to fame?

He had commercials on the radio of clubs he was appearing at here in Florida. Seriously? Dude he was booked everywhere have u seen his resume? He played EVERYWHERE!

never said that don't make me look like a tool.

That's what's funny about the whole "AM was the first to use it (that he saw) in 05"

It was a brand new product, if you saw Nicole Kidman rocking an iPad before anybody else would you credit her with the movement? No, because it was bound to happen anyway regardless of who rocked it first.

Go Cut Creator! Goooo!

so does pauly D....your point

never said that don't make me look like a tool. Jazzy was already famous before AM i know this. Jazzy became more popular in the american eye because of AM yes for ppl that have no clue about what dj'ing is/was.

I would own Pauly D cause I know I'm that confident. He is on a amateur level.

Which is a select few because unless you were a little kid who has never been to nightclubs or watched hip hop movies, how can you not know what Dj'ing was and this is when it was at it's peak with turntabilsm and being in tons of videos and movies.

I see where you're coming from but just admit that you didn't know as much as you thought you did and DJ AM helped you come into this world and leave it at that and learn more about this DJ thing because if not you're disrespecting people who worked hard and had to go through some shit just to play the music we love. Do you know how hard it is to play in NYC of the '70's,'80's and '90's with the violence, having to plug your equipment into a light pole for electricity in the '70's, having to find the records let alone th equipment because you didn't have money like that and if it was a belt drive using wax paper to make sure the drive doesn't stop. Why do you think techniques are so praised so much? They were one of the first, if not the first, direct drive turntables so the speed wasn't a problem like belt drives.

Just be humble and you will learn a lot you didn't know just by asking questions and/or listening to people because we all are wrong at some point in time.
