Speaker 1 (03:01):
Where I parked that, I didn't mind the walk, you
know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (03:04):
And it was a long walk.

Speaker 1 (03:05):
It was about a fifteen minute walk and uh yeah, man, it.

Speaker 3 (03:08):
Was pretty far. Like when you said, oh, yeah it's
over there, I was like, okay, You're like, yeah, leave

all good, though.

Speaker 1 (03:15):
It was all good.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
You know.

Speaker 1 (03:16):
I put my steps in my phone, got the steps in,
so yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
Man, oh your little pedometer on you on your phone,
and said my phone got the steps as looking like
he wants to put their phones out here, Grab him up, bro, Yeah,
I'm bringing.

Speaker 4 (03:30):
Him up tall you excuse me. I'm trying to adjust
the microphone to my height.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
I am, uh five foot nine, and you know the
tallest of this group.

Speaker 1 (03:40):
You're not five foot nine?

Speaker 4 (03:41):
Yeah, you can just see how I tower over you
five foot nine.

Speaker 3 (03:46):
I'm like, yo, I'm six feet tall. He's taller than me.
I was like, you're like six two six to and
some chains probably yeah, me questioning my height, you know
what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
I know, I know I'm not that old.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
So earlier we were at the beach and I told
him and I that I saw this I saw this
post right, and this guy was talking about He was like, Yo,
this one has to be said, and it's going out
to all the five ten people, just so you know
you are short, damn. And then he said five to
ten is the tallest of the short people. And if

(04:20):
you're five eleven, you're tall but you're the shortest of
the tall people. And I was like, it's a fair
way to put it. I felt attacked. But then at
the same time, like I've had people like Jules tell
me like, nah, dog, you're tall, and I'm like, because
you're like five to three.

Speaker 4 (04:38):
He's still bad.

Speaker 3 (04:39):
He said, Yo, you're five, but I can't tell me
I'm tall, dog. Relax, come down.

Speaker 4 (04:46):
You stop at one number and that shit is five?

Speaker 3 (04:48):
How tall? How tall are you? For real? Though?

Speaker 4 (04:50):
Six to one?

Speaker 5 (04:51):
And then I got bad pastures, so it doesn't help.
So then and then it puts me at five nine.

Speaker 4 (04:57):
This thing is stiff as fuck.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
Y'all gave me the one that it's because it's because
of the fifth thing broke off, So it's like, and
that's the newest one too. So I didn't get the
Guitar Center protection plan on that one.

Speaker 4 (05:12):
Did they do that?

Speaker 3 (05:13):
They do everything, They do it on everything. Yeah, No,
I do. Pro Proline have their own little warranty, do they?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
Yeah? I believe that.

Speaker 3 (05:20):

white like the rest.

Speaker 3 (06:11):
Of the calling me out of my own show. Damn,
I'm a win dollar.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
I got the same ones in my back back where
you see it right there, right above you see where
right where right where the dot is where it connects
as an L.

Speaker 4 (06:23):
It's it's in the plastic.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Because just take the al Gemini. I don't I don't
see yo.

Speaker 4 (06:28):
I swear, oh bro no, I swear it's in there.
Let me see.

Speaker 5 (06:33):
I'm a grab mine because I was gonna switch out
to mind because I'm like the cables a little longer
than most of your normal earbuds.

Speaker 3 (06:39):
But yeah, these ones actually have more. I just like
wrapped it up and tide it because these ones are
like super I mean, these his headphones.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
Why don't they just put L like how they put
Sure they.

Speaker 5 (06:49):
Usually do, but see, I got the same ones. I
don't have the phone five what but yeah, look at
this one. This one says you can see this one
a little bit better. And this is the other one. Yeah,
I need glasses. I don't see you on your ship.

Speaker 4 (07:03):
Oh yeah, you see it the very top.

Speaker 3 (07:06):
So you got the l Let me look at that
same exact spot. Hold on, I can't. I can't do
the in ears at all.

Speaker 4 (07:13):
You know.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
It's well because okay, especially like when I DJ, I
guess for this it might work because I'm not gonna
like DJ, you know, but like when I DJ, I
always want to like take one off and then it's
like then I gotta put it back in, and I
gotta take one off, put it back in. I'm gonna
take one off.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
I like Gemini set up to where he has like
the ones that you know, the old like rollerblade roller
skating style ones where you you kind of you got
the uh the walkman while you're skating down like Venice
Beach or something like that. Those things it's like a
just a like a like a speaker that wraps around
the back of your ear. It's got a clip on it.
I like the one that he's got. That's actually pretty handy.

(07:49):
It looks goofy as ship, but honestly it's it's one
of my preferred methods. If if I were to DJ
with them, I'll never use them.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
Yo.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
It's the crazy thing about it feels good in my ear. Yeah,
well you've been for a while he has it in
because of that, What do you mean that I barely
haven't it? Hold on.

Speaker 1 (08:12):
That's why they're supposed you're right, that's why.

Speaker 3 (08:19):
That's why they call him just the tip Geminis. That's hilarious. Yeah, man, okay,
so right, so now now now that now now that
we're the earphone pros.

Speaker 4 (08:35):
Slightly less my ear lets. No, that's perfect, thank you.

Speaker 3 (08:41):
Now now that it's all shoved in your ear, it's
like at different. But the thing is is that you
can't hard even see left the run on man. Okay,
but now looking looking at it's funny because now looking
at they're in Now yeah, right, because.

Speaker 5 (08:54):
It's supposed to wrap around your ears and then sit
flush against your head. Yours had like the step. It
looks it looks fine. You had it, but you're not
able to get it in your head like this.

Speaker 1 (09:02):
It's supposed to be in you. It's in that crevice
the whole and on top of that, it's sure is
the right way.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
Yeah, yeah, for sure, it's not.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
It's not parallel.

Speaker 5 (09:14):
It's got to be bent back the opposite way. So
I had it, yeah like that, just like this, you
could have twisted it. You didn't have to bend it.
You know, I'm just saying, I just want to you
know what I mean.

Speaker 4 (09:24):
The thing was spinning around like sixties.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
No problem. Let me look at my regular earphones and
see if I if I have them on.

Speaker 4 (09:31):
Right, yours are good one hundred percent. I can tell
you to get the way that the.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Headphone, what's called the cups late your left side is
supposed to have the cable.

Speaker 3 (09:41):
I can't even I can't even see that. I don't
even think there's left the headband. It's supposed to twist
the tilt towards the front of your mouth. That would
have the back of your head to the front of
your mouth and right putting it right. Damn, that's what
your hair looks like. I've never seen you without a hat.
Gonna be curly like mine. I won't be here like damn.

(10:02):
This guy's got straight hair. Yeah, like my head.

Speaker 4 (10:05):
He's got the mixed.

Speaker 3 (10:08):
Feels better. I ain't gonna hold you something. It feels better.
But he didn't say. He didn't say nice hair. He
actually hits you with the Damn that's what your hair
looks like.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
The hairline that's all funked up I got. I ain't
got much to say much. I got curly as you
know what.

Speaker 3 (10:22):
Hey, Now, I know how to put these folds. Say dog,
the tables for two will give you all the tips.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
That's what I'm here for. I'm texting for.

Speaker 3 (10:31):
Hey man, but he's in there now, it's in there, right.

Speaker 4 (10:34):
A quick question. I know I've been using foul language.
Is that okay?

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Yeah? Yeah? Your things all.

Speaker 4 (10:39):
Twisted up to like the cable got twisted as an man.

Speaker 3 (10:43):
This guy's pointing out them. He might as well. Let
you know. You know, I ain't mad at it. You
know what I'm saying. That's why. That's why his cuts
are sore.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
So you know he's been touching it that he's hardly
touching the vinyls son and that's just like the cut clean.

Speaker 3 (11:00):
He has one of the one of the like the
like I'm gonna use this word and don't don't get
don't don't get mad at me. I'm mad. But you
have like this dainty ass little style where it's like,
how the fuck are you doing all that?

Speaker 1 (11:11):
And you're barely.

Speaker 5 (11:14):
It's like it's almost low effort, I would say, because
you just drill it into yourself a certain certain quality
and a certain style that it I mean with everything,
Like you see singers that forty years like, well not
forty but like twenty years on. It's effortless, but it
looks like they're giving it. They're all same thing. I'm like,

(11:34):
I'm not twenty years in granted, but I've been doing
like this this consistency that it's now effortless. Like I'll
like stare at you, I cannot talk in the slightest
but all my concentrations in my hands and it's just
so so minimal, mostly because it's ultra pitch.

Speaker 4 (11:52):
You don't have to move that fast. Yeah, yess, Like
on the fader, but.

Speaker 5 (11:55):
Like the record, it's just like like going back and
forth on the very at this point, a very routine, uh,
set of combos for myself, I don't really follow. I
don't really have any like discomb to that comb to
that come to that combo. It's more like just the
flow and like the this this flow I've used in

(12:18):
the past. Oh it sounds it sounds like it would
be good here and then like it's just kind of
variations on stuff I've used in the past, and it's.

Speaker 4 (12:25):
Just so common for me to use them. They come
naturally and so easily.

Speaker 3 (12:30):
Yeah, I gotta tell you a dollar, the sh sounds.
It sounds great.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
So now I feel I feel the difference.

Speaker 3 (12:39):
I hear the difference. But Yo, it's like like you said,
you didn't see like the r on that No, that.

Speaker 4 (12:44):
Thing is so faint. I'm like, am I lying? Am
I my chipping?

Speaker 3 (12:48):
Ye?

Speaker 4 (12:50):
I've been wearing these since I bottom and I thought
that was how it was supposed to be.

Speaker 1 (12:55):
You know, this is my second pair.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Bro.

Speaker 3 (12:59):
It's funny though, because seeing the way that they're supposed
to be, they almost looked like they were falling out.

Speaker 1 (13:03):
Then the other way, I'm like they was doing a
damn thing though, you know what I'm saying. I got
used to it like that. I was like, fuck it,
ship plug plugging in and just let's let's go.

Speaker 4 (13:14):
Now he's got it in HD.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
Yeah for real, for real, he does. Okay, so now
to ride a Manu with this ship.

Speaker 1 (13:20):
Even though he walked over here, it looks like you're ready,
you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3 (13:25):
So Dan One just walked walked over here and put
some airphones on. So I don't mean, I don't mean
to put put you on the spot, but I did
want to ask you since this is the final, we're
down to the last four competitors. We have Dan One,
we have Rain, we have why not Cut, and we
have low Files. So predictions, who do you think it.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
Is not knocking?

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Who's gonna win? Who do you who do you think
is gonna make it to the final?

Speaker 4 (13:55):
Even I think that's hard.

Speaker 3 (13:56):
I know, Hey, I got I got one trying to thing.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
If Tony's not with it, he's gonna lose.

Speaker 5 (14:05):
I agree, I agree, it's it's gonna be. I think
Jay Rain versus Lo File in the second uh second
half of the first round, and then it's Tony against
Dan Wiskey, it's mister and Tony's. Tony's got stage fright.
I have to admit now and again he's got stage fright.

(14:26):
But looking at him from across, he's going up against
a friend, so you might the fuck you have dog
there might.

Speaker 7 (14:34):
Be im him nervous as possible, because if he's nervous,
he's gonna up.

Speaker 5 (14:40):
Dan's gotta ultimately be on point. And if if Tony
sees like any kind of any kind of uh like
waning in his style, then he's like, oh nah, this
guy's sucking up. I got this, and vice versa like
that's that's probably gonna be a closer battle between Dan
and Tony.

Speaker 4 (15:01):
In my eyes, I haven't seen Lofile enough, but I'm
very confident.

Speaker 5 (15:05):
In Jay Rain's ability. So that's why I believe he's
gonna win that that group, if they're going up against it,
Lotus might switch it up, or whoever is in charge
of the of the brackets, they might switch it up,
and you know what, it might be Jay Rain up
against Dan one at that point, I'm not sure, but
I would say Jay Rayne if he goes up against Lofile,

(15:27):
jay Rain's gonna take it against Dan One and Tony.

Speaker 4 (15:31):
It's it's honestly the flip of a coin because.

Speaker 7 (15:35):
You see you see at the at Lotus like you
or sometimes I got it, sometimes Tony guys, sometimes Jay Rain,
But whoever is on it tonight is the one that's
gonna win.

Speaker 5 (15:46):
You really have to be on point for either of
them to really come out on top. And it's just
gonna come down to nerves at this point. And if
if you're you're staying in the groove literally this, you're
able to keep your record from bouncing.

Speaker 4 (16:00):
You're gonna make sure you she's balanced. You can't be
just just uh, just making mistakes.

Speaker 5 (16:05):
Because at that point, the other person's gonna it's gonna
come out and it's gonna be instantly realized who's gonna.

Speaker 4 (16:11):
Who's gonna be the winner after that.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah, that's the thing too, when it comes to a
live battle, you just have that moment, you know what
I mean. It's not the video where you've been like
recording for an hour before you got the one like.

Speaker 4 (16:24):
It went around three times on the same beat.

Speaker 8 (16:26):
I'm ready now.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
Yeah, it's a surprise. It's a surprise beat.

Speaker 7 (16:32):
And that's that's that's the thing too, because if it's
not Tony's bpm man.

Speaker 4 (16:37):
Tony's got something like he's got I don't know his range.
I think that's what, Like he got a range.

Speaker 7 (16:41):
But there's there's a there's a little missing part of
his range, but he still kills it, but.

Speaker 4 (16:45):
He just he gets lost on like what you do
on it.

Speaker 5 (16:48):
There's a handful, Like you can see that in almost
everybody's style. There's there's stuff that they really prefer, and
then there's something that he's like somebody might be all
right at, and then something is like, oh no, this
shouldin't mean yeah, like there's this I don't want to
I don't want to go into my own range to
get have anybody get any ideas.

Speaker 4 (17:05):
But I try to be as restile as possible.

Speaker 5 (17:08):
But there's still areas where I know I faltered. There's
stuff that I am not comfortable with. I'm not saying
I can't do, but I'm gonna not be as good
as I am at a at a more comfortably bpm.

Speaker 4 (17:20):
And I have like a solid range I would say
between like a good.

Speaker 5 (17:25):
Twenty to thirty bpm range, but sometimes it just depends
on the song sometimes it's double time and on its
own and like that itself. I'm like, okay, normally I'm
off on this feat, but putting it double time, I'm like, oh,
I can't, I can't.

Speaker 4 (17:38):
That's what something, that's what. That's what you got to
measure too.

Speaker 7 (17:41):
And like, especially in the battle, if you if you're
using single time and the other person using double time,
you're gonna lose.

Speaker 5 (17:48):
Most of the time, I would say, but there are
some instances where I seah, single time, make your suck up.

Speaker 7 (17:53):
But single times, if you could flow it and make
it funky and clean and and something that there are
other is not doing it.

Speaker 4 (18:00):
He's just doing the basic the same structure.

Speaker 2 (18:04):
You know.

Speaker 7 (18:05):
It all comes down to the judges too, you know,
like the Olympics is one of the judges, and he's
a hard joke, so like you got to come with
everything you got if you want to win.

Speaker 3 (18:13):
Yeah, prolifics very not very technical.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
So easy.

Speaker 4 (18:16):
Who's all the judges for today?

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Do you know he's one of them? Yeah? I know,
I see I see him already. I don't I don't
see the other two because I know.

Speaker 4 (18:26):
We had i q IQ wasn't last week.

Speaker 3 (18:29):
I Q and and peep Show, So most likely peep
Show probably pull up.

Speaker 5 (18:33):
So he's gonna be here. I talked to him the
other day a couple of times recently. He's gonna be late.
I think he's gonna be here for the end of
the battle. I don't know if that means he's going
to be a judge in that regard. Maybe he'll because
he's going to the soccer game.

Speaker 4 (18:45):
That's going on. I guess LA Galaxy against Oh yeah
soccer myself. Oh yeah, but Galaxy.

Speaker 7 (18:50):
Yeah, he's he's there, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, he's all
fucked a battle bro Yeah, Galaxy time ship.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
So I'm curious to see. I mean, I'm gonna sure
bad Blue it's likely to be a judge in that
and that I know.

Speaker 3 (19:04):
I know flip Flops sat in last yeah, the last
last week for for i Q.

Speaker 4 (19:09):
So that's probably what's gonna happen again.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
We'll definitely see. It's gonna be tough all around. It's
gonna be tough.

Speaker 1 (19:16):
What I love about it, it's not it's not biased
at all, you know.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Because it's all of us. It's a team ship.

Speaker 7 (19:22):
Like I even said in the Weekends more last the
last time we were we were at Locus Path the
night before and I was like, dude, it's gonna be
fucking US three and Low Plow and to US three
in Low Pile Bro.

Speaker 4 (19:36):
I already knew this was gonna be the outcome. It's
just and now it's whoever is on it tough tonight,
no play a close competition.

Speaker 5 (19:44):
Even though, like like I said, I'm not too familiar
with lo File. I mean, he got this far, so,
I mean he's good enough to hang with the other
three that I am more familiar with.

Speaker 4 (19:52):
So it's still a chance that like he's.

Speaker 5 (19:55):
Been practicing and doing stuff that I'm not familiar with,
and he's got neither better. He just hasn't shown us
what ultimately he's capable ship and like all of a
sudden he just comes out and he's better than me.
He's better than fucking IQ even I mean, anything can
happen sometimes too.

Speaker 3 (20:12):
I know, I know we had talked to some DJs
and they were saying, sometimes when you're when you're cutting
with someone, you end up I don't want to say
mimickings their style, but you hear their cuts, it puts that,
you know what I mean, So he might have been
like like also like like the Los Angeles Daughter, sometimes
we played to the team that we're playing, you know
what I mean, we lose that stupid game because we're
like what the fuck? Yeah, because we weren't playing, you

(20:33):
know what I mean, acting stupid, yeah, dog, you know.
And it's like it's it's sometimes like in competition that
that type of thing happens. You get in that situation.

Speaker 4 (20:44):
Yeah, I was. I mean I can attest to that
exact game. I was doing the same thing with Dan,
with Jay Raymon and everybody in the crew.

Speaker 3 (20:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (20:50):
And like like lately, Tony, I feel like he's bee
been on that trip too, to where every time I
seen him, he's honing the ship more and more chitterakus.

Speaker 4 (20:58):
He's always hit me up about something that Tony's doing.

Speaker 5 (21:01):
I couldn't tell you what it is, but he's emulated
some stuff that Tony has had shown him. He went
back to Poland showing like, uh, I believe he had
used that stuff and his online DMC wild card submission.
So I believe that it is or the something yeah yeah,
yeah yeah, the wildcard submission for the online DMC.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
So, I mean, people.

Speaker 5 (21:28):
Always learn you either sponge off the next person, or
you just really like what they do and you're trying
to either get better than what he's doing, or you
just kind of emulate that so it improves your own
style regardless, and maybe you just add those extra couple of.

Speaker 7 (21:40):
Techniques into your own style, you know, a ka bidy oh,
that's what we used to call it in the two thousands,
the earliest.

Speaker 4 (21:53):
Everybody used to be enemies back in the Yeah, and
I think to.

Speaker 3 (21:59):
Come from from from like the nineties to now, where
like now you're saying like, oh yeah, oh, you emmolate
that style, switch it up, making your own, Whereas back
then in the nineties, it was like that secret ship
like Noah, don't do my ship.

Speaker 4 (22:11):
You try to do that and add a little flare again,
knocked out. That's how it was.

Speaker 3 (22:15):
Problem.

Speaker 7 (22:16):
Yeah, you couldn't you couldn't sound the same, you couldn't
like do the same move like you gotta double click.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
You can't have it too ship. I mean, like everybody
was very secret, very protective about that.

Speaker 7 (22:28):
But that's that's why the community is getting better and
everyone's getting better because everyone's all love.

Speaker 4 (22:33):
Now, like nobody no one's yeah exactly, no one's fighting.
I saw you do this one technique. It's like, I
don't know, but let me show you how.

Speaker 5 (22:41):
I'll go slow so I can I can figure it out,
and then you can figure out what I'm doing because
I don't know what I'm doing, but let me show you.

Speaker 3 (22:47):
Yeah. We had brought it up previously too, when we
were at the garage and Tony was like, but you
gotta do the three different levels. Here's level one, here's
level two. Here.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
I just like, I was like, yo, I'm just gonna
sit down right here real quick, man. We'll do it
one one time.

Speaker 3 (23:03):
And then he kept on going to level two and three,
and I'm like, bro, can you just do level one?
I just want to see level one point five exactly exactly.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
I feel like that's the natural progression.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
Like over time, you see people like Cbirt doing his
scratch scratch scratch media break tannaka mm hm. You have
like like the school we're at even today, you see
people will over time they get to a certain level.
It's like, okay, went on the battles. Some people might
end up recording their ship and like not sharing. I
can name a couple of people, but I'm not going

(23:37):
to out of respect. But you have other people that
are willing to be like, oh yeah, here, I'll show
you how to how to do this ship because you're
just passing it down to like the next generation, the
next people who want to learn. So that way there
you'll probably I wouldn't say you you'll improve awfu sharing,
but the other people will will will pick up what
you're you're teaching them and pass it down the line.

(23:58):
If people just get better and better, that's how you
have people like me coming from Cubat in the styles
and Dopez and all these other people I've learned.

Speaker 3 (24:07):
From over the years saying the circle of life, the
circle of scratch.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
Real It is, though, yo, when you think you know
how to scratch and ship and then you see these
guys scratching and be.

Speaker 3 (24:19):
Like, oh, I'm telling you, bro, I'll wait wait hey.
It's tough, but I think the thing that I've been
telling like a lot of people too, especially when it
comes to the Institute of Sound. It's one of those
things you want to say, damn, I'll just sit down,
but it's like, get on the decks, because the only
way you're going to really absorb this is getting in
between someone and then hearing yourself and then saying, damn,

(24:40):
I got to push myself harder. Damn I want to
sound like that. Oh shit, look what that guy's doing.
And then you're seeing the hand movements on both the
record hand and the fader hand, and it's like, oh,
how how can I emulate that?

Speaker 1 (24:49):
How can I like do that a.

Speaker 3 (24:51):
Little bit more? You know what I mean? And because
I swear before like I was like, oh, it's all
the fader and then now I'm like, no, it's not,
it's your damn hand, you know. I mean, like you
see people like like Don Paco, he has nothing over
here hitting his arm and it's like, what the hell.
And then and then you got prolifics and get the
double tapping the record, and it's like and he's he's

(25:11):
doing like three three click players and two click players
and it's yeah, just tapping the record and it's like yeah, yeah,
Like I'm saying, like, that's why it's good. It's good
to be part of this community and pull up when
there are scratcher events because you never know what you're
gonna see that's gonna spark your imagination. Like I didn't

(25:33):
know that was possible. Damn, let me try it, you
know what I mean. No one's didn't get it their
first time.

Speaker 7 (25:38):
And also too, there's no like fucking superstars that everyone's like,
oh fuck, I don't want.

Speaker 4 (25:42):
To scratch in front of him, you know what I mean?
Like that's that's like if if Cubert was here, I
bet you half of the people wouldn't even be a cutting, Like.

Speaker 3 (25:52):
Fuck that ship.

Speaker 5 (25:53):
Yeah, either star struck just because you're a fan, or like,
oh I don't want to. I can't keep up with them,
so I'm not going to. Even though he might not
be going all out, he's just doing some regular ship
just to be able to keep up with the fat Man.
People are gonna be like a little a little because
it's cue.

Speaker 3 (26:10):
But it's so too like you see some of the
sessions that happen here, Like I think in round one
we had i Q Swift style peep show prolifics, and
then and then and then other random's in there, and
it's like, man, this this session's nasty right now like that,
you know, So that's what.

Speaker 7 (26:28):
Yeah, that's why you gotta jump in though, because if
you don't jump in, you're not gonna You're not.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Gonna experience it.

Speaker 7 (26:32):
You know, Lotus is bad when after after NAM, that's
like the best time of year, Like, yeah, we get
the most cutters there ever, Like yeah, and.

Speaker 3 (26:41):
It's everyone from everywhere.

Speaker 7 (26:42):
Yet it's not just like fools that are like, oh,
I'm from around the area and they're fucking cutters, bro,
serious ones so from Canada. Yeah, and they don't suck, bro,
They're all good everywhere. Everyone that goes to Lotus is
bad after NAM is why.

Speaker 3 (26:59):

to that aren't even cutting. It is just chilling.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
Yeah. And they're dope too.

and mad, and then when you when I look at
your videos, you're having fun and you're just staying like
funky with it.

So just for fun. So like it's not like I'm

that's why like my front, my you know face is
hunt trying to like smile.

Speaker 3 (31:24):
Yeah, yeah, no, it works. It definitely works. When when
when when you're coming up with with with a routine
or an idea, like is there any kind of like
format that you go by or is it just whatever
you feel like? So like.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
I normally like come up the idea in my head
when I listen to trucks, So I make my head
and like to experimental found levels like trying to do
trying to do things you know, uh like onto my head,

(32:04):
you know, like imagine imagination. So it's kind of bit
between the experimental and ideas.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
Like start creating my r So basically he's thinking about
it and then he's just transferring on the deck.

Speaker 3 (32:19):
It translated to that, Yeah, so that's pretty dope. Many
they said that Tesla. That's how Tesla did it. Tesla
used to see it in his head and then all
of a sudden, he would manifest these crazy crazy things.
So hey, it works, it works.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
It definitely works for him because you know back then too,
you were in case with used to always go back

Speaker 8 (38:02):
Any other.

Speaker 3 (38:05):
Like yeah, so yeah, pretty much more more on the
on the musically type side. Yeah, that's the evolution the
evolution of rana right there. Man, out of all the
places that you've been there, do you have a favorite
place that you've been that you've DJ at in Japan,

(38:28):
everywhere the whole world?

Speaker 2 (38:30):
What so I recently played at the boomboating A Korea, China. Okay,
yeah yeah yeah it was the greatest, greatest boat I've
ever played out events.

Speaker 6 (38:42):
He was the greatest yeah oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (38:45):
And then what about what about out there in Asia?

Speaker 4 (38:47):
Like what what?

Speaker 3 (38:48):
What? Is there anything any place that stands out out
there that that like is your favorite spot? Because you
live out there in China, in Japan, Japan, and so
in Japan, if you were to have a place like
that's the place you like to go to, where where
would that be? Is it like DJ things or like yeah,
like DJ DJ wise there, I really don't have.

Speaker 2 (39:09):
My favorite supposed to couple. Oh no, it's kind of
you know, I'm unfortunately, like hip hop culture and a
DJ culture isn't really like popular in Japan. They all know,
they all loved like K pop and you know, like
Japanese J pop calls JP. I'm not really interesting in uh,

(39:32):
you know, music jam, so like it's kind of find
it's kind of how to find a place that.

Speaker 3 (39:40):
Like Papo, it's interesting.

Speaker 2 (39:43):
So that's why I'm here, you know, Like I'm thinking
of applying for artist visa and like from next day,
I'm gonna be twenty twenty one years old, which I
can play the you know some club.

Speaker 3 (39:58):
Yeah it drink as well?

Speaker 1 (40:01):
Yeah yeah, yeah, I want to get your drink on. Yeah,
I'm already.

Speaker 2 (40:10):
Like drinking in Japan because like above twenty about twenty,
it's legal.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Okay, all right, okay, Yeah, what's your favorite drink?

Speaker 2 (40:19):
I like whiskey called hibel.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
Uh huh.

Speaker 2 (40:23):
I like Japanese beer, like killing.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
I like too, yeah yeah yeah, whiskey.

Speaker 3 (40:31):
I like whiskey. Yeah, whiskey is good.

Speaker 2 (40:34):
You should try to hibel. Oh yeah, yeah, I don't
see hybel in the US.

Speaker 1 (40:39):
It's probably probably gonna be a special order type thing.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
How did you like?

Speaker 3 (40:46):
So what made you decide to join the d m
C at twelve years of age?

Speaker 2 (40:50):
So since I since I started jon like ah, I
started having you know, dedumb into into DMC at the
same time. So like when I was the DMC on

(41:10):
the YouTube, and like I was practicing with the videos
and then like at the same time I started, I
started to think, like I'm gonna be champion.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
So you manifested, yea, uh huh uh huh. So he
practiced looking at YouTube and yo, that's dope when he
decided at the age of twelve to join and he
manifest being the champion at twelve.

Speaker 3 (41:40):
So okay, so if you if you joined in at twelve,
how old were you when you got your first turn? Stable?

Speaker 2 (41:46):
Nine years old. So I used to be a dance
hip hop dancer and when I go to the dance event,
there was a DJ and at the time, like I
was when I think of DJ just playing Mu sick
and like play like yo, what's up yo, and like
you know that's the party, you know, like kind of thing.
So I've never seen that scratch and pizaggling. Yeah, he did,

(42:13):
Like he played that scrutching phizaggling, and I was very
obsessed with it. And uh my dad used to be
a DJ long time ago, like this Cooperio, like seven
the eighties. Uh so he already had a punta ros
and mixer. So I started, you know, practicing with the treatment,

Like a music swing type okay, and like sometimes like
the pops like.

So eighty one, we are back, Gemini, We are back
right here. That was a beach battle. I can't hound
that ship. That shit was intense.

Speaker 3 (46:32):
So uh it was crazy because the first round the
semi finals went a little long because there was there
was an extra one more round and been there. Yeah,
so he he had like three beats and was going
back and forth. That's the thing that I The thing
that I did like about that it was you you
had to know who won that round after that? Yeah,

(46:52):
it was like, Yo, there's there's there's no doubt about it.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
Cut.

Speaker 3 (46:56):
Cut was like, oh man, putting the workout and before
before we get into anything, congratulations are in order to
the one and only Tony Why not Cut, thank you
for becoming Season one champion. Oh ude, the be Junkies Institute.

Speaker 1 (47:10):
Is starting it off, man, and we cannot forget we
have prolifics on the mic. We got prolifics. It's happy
to know you're not in trouble. Trouble here because the
last segment he was like, yo, we got to get
him on the mic, so like he was in trouble.
So I was like, yo, what is he in trouble?

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Now?

Speaker 6 (47:29):
You know, it's been a minute since actually been on
the mic. It's been a while actually, but of course,
you know, always honored to be on the show.

Speaker 9 (47:38):
Big supporter, loved the show, and so yeah, today's uh,
we're celebrating Tony's big win Why Not Cut?

Speaker 6 (47:44):
So awesome battle, congratulate my friend.

Speaker 3 (47:47):
Thank you man.

Speaker 8 (47:48):
So it really means a lot, especially coming from you man.

Speaker 3 (47:52):
Oh yeah for real.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Yeah, it's a lot, bro, that's big right there.

Speaker 9 (47:55):
Yeah, so yeah, I've seen I've seen why Not Cut
progress right when it comes to these battles, and a
lot of times people forget, you know how challenging it
is to perform in front of a lot of people, right,
It's easy to kill it in your room your own
videos on your phone. What you know, you're recording yourself,
but when you're actually trying to execute some cuts.

Speaker 6 (48:18):
In front of your peers and judges, and it's a
whole other level.

Speaker 9 (48:22):
And so a lot of times, you know, I've seen
many competitors but basically not perform so well because their nerves.
You know, they can't control their nerves, right, that's like
half the battle, I tell people. And so today, if
you notice, there's several times Tody how to prove himself.

Speaker 6 (48:43):
He wasn't nervous. He had even extended his hands like, look, man,
I'm not.

Speaker 9 (48:46):
Nervous, and he wasn't. He could tell he was very
confident today. And so, like I tell everyone, anything could
happen to the battle. It doesn't mean that you're the
best out of all these guys all the time.

Speaker 6 (48:57):
It just means that you freaking killed it today and
today's your day.

Speaker 1 (49:01):
And so Solutank, congratulations, well deserved, my brother, well deserved.

Speaker 8 (49:07):
Thank you, thank you.

Speaker 3 (49:09):
Just so you know, I was right behind Prolifics and
he was and he was like, yeah, Tony ain't ship.

Speaker 4 (49:17):
Now.

Speaker 9 (49:17):
It was it was an adulte battle, guys, and uh,
Chris's image from the Wind and I were talking about
it really quick and we we notice how, you know,
between Jay Range and and why Not Cut, it really
came down to temple. Uh, you know when Jay Rain
has like a drumman based, drumman bassed temple like he
tricking just murders it super.

Speaker 6 (49:39):
Clean, right, But then when it came down to more
like electro tempo, like why not cut, what's killing? Like
You're just showing all these different power moves.

Speaker 9 (49:46):
So for us as a judge, you know, that's what
really stood out in Tony's performance. And so it doesn't
mean you know, he's way better than Jay Rain no again,
it means that he killed it tonight and he you know,
definitely secreted really well.

Speaker 3 (50:01):
Yeah, I did see. I did see in the final
when I cut you, you were like, all it's it's over,
j Ray, and you could just have it. When they
played that that that old school breakdown flip, you were like, nah,
and they need dog you killed that one was really
hurting Bro.

Speaker 1 (50:20):
I was like, yo, I don't understand how he's still going, Bro,
And it's like, I know it was all tight. I
know you've been working out son and doing push ups
and ship but.

Speaker 6 (50:27):
Damn man, power cuts power It's it's exactly that power cut.

Speaker 1 (50:33):
Uh.

Speaker 8 (50:34):
At the end of the battle it started coming.

Speaker 3 (50:38):
I was like, wait, what the fuck?

Speaker 8 (50:41):
Like, I still got this cut, I still got that cut.

Speaker 3 (50:44):
Let me do it.

Speaker 10 (50:46):
And then I felt more comfortable because it was my
BPM like the other ones.

Speaker 3 (50:52):
I admit, like, yeah.

Speaker 4 (50:54):
I was like, oh ship, these ain't my bp ms,
but let's get it. This is what you know.

Speaker 8 (51:01):
I have to get over and go through, follow through.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
I did.

Speaker 8 (51:05):
I hiccup a little bit.

Speaker 6 (51:07):
I did.

Speaker 8 (51:07):
And what's crazy is it makes me think did Jay Rain.

Speaker 6 (51:12):
Do it on purpose or something?

Speaker 3 (51:14):
Because he fucked up too. Like at the end, I
was like, what, he wasn't going in the full bars too.

Speaker 10 (51:20):
I was like, yeah, he wasn't going to the full bar,
so he was throwing kind of throwing me up, and
I was like, no, focus, get back in it.

Speaker 8 (51:27):
Let me pick up his bars. I ain't boom. Let's
go with my flow, you know.

Speaker 11 (51:30):
But I was like, no fucking way, there's no way
Jay Rain is sucking up this many times.

Speaker 6 (51:36):
There's no way.

Speaker 8 (51:37):
And then that boosted my fucking confidence even more. I
was like, let's get those power cuts.

Speaker 1 (51:44):
It was just like a switch man. It was like
I noticed it when I was recording.

Speaker 8 (51:47):
I was like, it sounded clean. In the beginning, was
just like, okay, come on, you're better than this fool.

Speaker 10 (51:56):
It's like I wasn't nervous, but then I heard the
beat and I got a little bit nervous.

Speaker 8 (52:01):
But no, then I was like, no, fuck that. Nah,
hell no, let's get this ship.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
I can get it.

Speaker 10 (52:06):
And yes, I just kept telling myself, nah, I can
do this ship.

Speaker 5 (52:09):
I can do that.

Speaker 4 (52:10):
I forgot it.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
Oh no, you ride you was like, wait, hold on,
no for real, it's soon number two number what the
oh shit?

Speaker 3 (52:18):
Fuck?

Speaker 4 (52:19):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (52:19):
Cool?

Speaker 8 (52:20):
But yeah, I still got a lot. I still got
a lot to go.

Speaker 10 (52:24):
Bro phrasing, that's another thing, and checklist phrasing him was
up next, you know, and that's yeah yo, like Prolific said,
he's seen my progress.

Speaker 8 (52:38):
I've been improving. I give you my word. Brother, watch
next you'll hear my phrasing.

Speaker 6 (52:45):
What oh shit, Okay, this has been practicing.

Speaker 8 (52:49):
Still, So that's that's my next goal phrasing.

Speaker 10 (52:51):
So in case I go up against someone like Jay Raine,
someone like Prolifics, someone like Swift Style, someone like Flip
hoop these.

Speaker 3 (52:59):
I mean, it sounds like you're going full Daz' Dylan.
You're calling out names.

Speaker 4 (53:03):
Now.

Speaker 8 (53:03):
No, No, I'm talking about their style, their style Prolympics.

Speaker 10 (53:07):
It's just a beast in his own way. We're all
beasts way, you know. But I'm talking about other people
that that are is just as good, you know. So
I want to get him with.

Speaker 11 (53:18):
Not just the fucking eye, you know, not just the fresh,
not just the ay. Yeah, I want to do the
the motherfucking phrases. I want to do the funky dope phrases.
I want to do fucking one, two, three, face all
that ship, you know.

Speaker 3 (53:30):
So it's coming that, I think, Yeah, especially when it
when it comes to to uh, to the phrasing, that's
when it shows uh diversity in your in your skill
of how you're for.

Speaker 8 (53:41):
Sure, and you know, I'm humble and I'm going to
keep it real.

Speaker 10 (53:47):
If Jay Rain would have phrased so rap rap, if
if he would have fucking phrased it.

Speaker 3 (53:55):
Yeah, I think that in his in his first round two,
I think that's where where he definitely excelled on the phrasing, for.

Speaker 10 (54:01):
Sure, for sure, if you would but he was like nah,
nah let's go with me, me and you oz only
let's go you know, so cool, all right. I respect
from him for that, you know, But because of him,
and like I said, because of people like prolifics, I'm
gonna step my game up and get those fucking phrases done.
That phrasing is a killer when it comes to Battlely,

(54:24):
nobody wants to really hear just you know, the usual,
and when you get to the phrasing, that's a whole
other level.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
And that's like, oh, especially when you hit the right
pockets man with it. It's so clean too, you know
what I mean, And it's like dang yep. Sometimes me
and any one is like, yo, how are you going
between these words like that?

Speaker 3 (54:44):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 (54:45):
Stabbing on one and then doing something on another right
backs back right there.

Speaker 3 (54:49):
Like yeah, I think politics you were doing You were
doing that one and it was it wasn't it wasn't
a phrase, but it was on the record where it
was the awe and it was that and you were
like phrasing the you don't talking about have had the
awe but it had like those little pauses in it
and you were just like tapping it and like what
the how the hell are you doing that?

Speaker 9 (55:10):
Yeah? So uh, you know a lot of these phrase
scratch records. The one you're referring to is one of
the scratch Science records, and yes, there is a sample
there that it cuts the awe right like just ah
and then you're.

Speaker 6 (55:24):
The the second part of haw. So it's it's all
about it's really I tell people some of the phrasing
that you hear, like.

Speaker 9 (55:32):
Swift Sty'll do for example, I've done a lot of
people that you phrasing, it's it's really a.

Speaker 6 (55:39):
Beat juggle pattern. It's it's a percussion pattern.

Speaker 9 (55:43):
A lot of beat jugglers use that they don't realize
that they could incorporate that same technique into phrasing. So
when you hear someone phrasing, you can literally drop in
a kick high hat snare and it's gonna they're gonna
do like a different drum rhythm, but using those same
techniques applying it to a phrase.

Speaker 6 (56:03):
And so again, a lot of these records are are.

Speaker 9 (56:07):
Made specifically for specific techniques that a lot of be
jugglers use.

Speaker 6 (56:12):
So there's a a like a pushback release type of
a combination.

Speaker 9 (56:16):
A lot of phrase uh scratching the days use and
little things like that is what really can enhance your scratching.
But it's really understanding the breakdown. It's not you're just
not I don't know where you know, scratching randomly between
the samples. No, there's actually a structure that was made

(56:37):
specifically on these records, so you could do a specific
combo and be able to generate that phrase with with
that same scratch techniques like Jay rained uh once you
once they release the footage of the battle his first
round battle with low File, believe uh that he killed
that round. If you if you guys remember that drum

(56:57):
based round, Like he was in the pocket, like it's phrasing.

Speaker 6 (57:03):
Yeah, super on points.

Speaker 9 (57:04):
But again like he has that in his pocket, he
knows exactly where to stop and release the sample to
give you that whole phrase while he's scratching it.

Speaker 3 (57:15):
Yep, it's not easy.

Speaker 6 (57:20):
It's not easy, especially if you're performing in in front
of people. That that is part nerve wracking.

Speaker 9 (57:26):
So again, it's these battles I tell people at the
battle is really controlling your nerves, like right, like, hey,
can you really control your nerves? Because I've seen many
many DJs that are freaking killers on the cut when
it comes to sessions or at home, but once it
comes to battles, it changes.

Speaker 3 (57:47):
They're calling him, they're gonna they're gonna probably do a
little awards ceremony, so they still why not cut away
from us, but as they should, as they should, he should,
he should get it.

Speaker 6 (58:00):
Well he's getting his five bills right.

Speaker 3 (58:02):
Yeah, and his uh and is the jetpack bag. So yeah,
definitely dope, well deserved. Yeah, dog, I'm excited. And then
they did say that it's coming back. Did he say September?

Speaker 4 (58:15):
Yes, September, so they're.

Speaker 3 (58:16):
Gonna be taking a month off, and then season two
will start over here at the Beat Junkies Institute of Sound,
so you can check all the information out at beechunkiesound
dot com or on their instagram which is beat Junkie iOS.
And then of course two with us tables for two
because I mean we'll be up in the building too.
And then and then pro Prolifics. I know you said
you have some stuff coming up, because I know Battle

(58:37):
for Free Passage just ended. Shout out to Jay Rain
who got second place. He's gonna be applying out to London. Well,
he got first place in that battle, right, Yeah, you
got first place over there, second place over here.

Speaker 6 (58:47):
Correct, So yeah, he won the free battle passage.

Speaker 9 (58:50):
So uh, from from what I've heard today, you may
want to confirm this, but I heard a bunch of
guys from the crew are going to London, and I
just day ring.

Speaker 3 (59:00):
Yeah yeah, yeah, No, Jewels bought his ticket already, and
then I believe Lotus Lotus is going to be going well.

Speaker 6 (59:05):
But I heard you you're also considering No.

Speaker 3 (59:07):
I want to, but I can't eight hundred dollars on
a ticket. I don't know. I don't know. I bet
you're going to charge you, but I know they're trying to.
They're trying to get me to put on my credit
card I liked and relax.

Speaker 6 (59:17):
I found some flights like around five hundred, So I
don't know.

Speaker 3 (59:22):
He's like, if we throw you in a Chicken coop
adm on, we can get you there.

Speaker 6 (59:25):
We can dope.

Speaker 1 (59:27):
It'd be a dopest Warriors for you too as well.
You might as well take the show out there, man, man.

Speaker 8 (59:31):
Oh dude.

Speaker 9 (59:32):
There's so many talented scratch DJs out there, of course,
and this is my fourth time going to London, and
so I can't wait for the fellas to come out
and experience London and meet all the scratchers out there
and and just you know, have a good time.

Speaker 6 (59:49):
It's it's a different world for sure. And uh, it's
just so cool to have scratching like tie it all
together in no way.

Speaker 9 (59:57):
Because I tell these guys my plan is to go
London and then after London, spend a week in Paris
with DJ Skoll.

Speaker 6 (01:00:04):
Okay cool, and so I'm trying to work that out
right now. But that's really what I have in mind.

Speaker 8 (01:00:10):
And that's a cool thing.

Speaker 6 (01:00:11):
Again, Like I would have never met school if it
wasn't for me going to London in the first place. Yeah,
and so you know, we stayed in touch.

Speaker 9 (01:00:17):
We would see each other every time I go there,
and during them, you know, he stayed at Males. So
now he's bringing more talented scratch DJs from Europe for
next year's invitational, and so you know, it's just really
cool to see this community build, but not just in
a community level, but on.

Speaker 6 (01:00:34):
A world level.

Speaker 3 (01:00:35):
Yeah yeah, yeah, and it's just.

Speaker 6 (01:00:37):
A really neat experience. So I hope you could come.
I know, I didn't think where you Jem and I
you should come out.

Speaker 1 (01:00:43):
No, I'm not to put two weeks two weeks now,
it's in my job, like yo, I'm taking vacation.

Speaker 3 (01:00:47):
Now, right, so I know when it comes to portal
the s Lounge. I believe you were two time champion,
know you went back to back?

Speaker 9 (01:00:52):
Yes, so my first time winning was two twenty twenty two,
and then I went the following year to defend and
won that year twenty three, and then after that just
been judging since.

Speaker 3 (01:01:05):
Okay, I think it was a year before a year
after you went back to back and then undercut one, right.

Speaker 9 (01:01:11):
Yes, so the DJ before I think it was a
year before I won was undercut.

Speaker 3 (01:01:17):
Okay, the year before yeah, and then I know, I
believe it was one of one of the japan brothers
won right after, right, yes, so after uh, I believe.

Speaker 9 (01:01:28):
Yes, So when I won the following year, the Japanese
bros went back there to go compete again, and yes,
they got Juto got first place, a Cato got second,
and uh.

Speaker 6 (01:01:41):
Krabby's I believe from France got third.

Speaker 1 (01:01:43):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
Yeah, Krabby's got the Krabby's the beast too.

Speaker 6 (01:01:45):
Yeah, he's he's super sick.

Speaker 9 (01:01:47):
So again it's just really need to go out there
and like experience and connect with other scratchers out there
and seeing you know, how they flipped the awe and
how they flipped phrasing, and you just get inspired.

Speaker 6 (01:01:59):
You know, we all learn from each other.

Speaker 9 (01:02:02):
And that's the best the uh perk that I get
going that London is making these connections with all these.

Speaker 8 (01:02:08):
Guys out there.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
Yeah, they go strapped with the sexy beat. That's what
he likes to call. So so hold on, we got
we got why not creep on the mic?

Speaker 1 (01:02:21):
You got?

Speaker 3 (01:02:21):
You got?

Speaker 1 (01:02:22):
Yours?

Speaker 4 (01:02:23):
Does sound creepy though, for real?

Speaker 3 (01:02:25):
Like what are we going? Yeah? So I don't know
how much stuff can you fit in that jetpack slim
over there?

Speaker 6 (01:02:32):
Describe that bag?

Speaker 3 (01:02:37):
Oh he wants to go to the strip, little strip. Okay,
this this jet packed slim back that they gave him
also has the official Beat Junkies Away Scratch League insignia
on in that car. Yeah, oh it's sold in. Yeah

(01:02:59):
that's what I said. That's a trophy right there. Yeah,
I'll show you. I'll show you mine. I actually won
mind too, not in the battle. I actually won it
on Instagram when they when they first came out with him,
they said, put which one you would want to win,
and then I put teen Gray and I ended up
winning it on a free rapple. I'm not that lucky man.

(01:03:20):
There was no Morse, not on free prizes.

Speaker 1 (01:03:23):
Maybe y'll followed tag somebody.

Speaker 3 (01:03:26):
Yeah, that was one of those things, one of those.
I mean I think I tagged you. I almost like that.
I don't know if that means you get one too, but.

Speaker 1 (01:03:33):
Yeah I didn't get one. I tried tagging you back,
but no, it didn't work either.

Speaker 3 (01:03:37):
Yeah, but I got But now you didn't have to
do any of that. All you had to do was
beat Dan one and then go to the finals and
beat Jay Rain.

Speaker 8 (01:03:45):
Hey yeah that that three what was it three beats
after the one more round?

Speaker 3 (01:03:51):
Yeah, it was the workout, bro. Bro crazy when you
did the when you did the little scripple scribble fight that,
I was like, damn, I was against you pulled him
out on both times. When you did it with Jay
Rain though, it was on that flower being, I was like, dog,
this was him's gonna die right now, I.

Speaker 1 (01:04:12):
Tell you for him.

Speaker 3 (01:04:14):
I was like, what, No, it ain't no way, bro, bro,
You're gonna lose the hand. We're gonna give you just
a spike fuel, You're just gonna have a metal spike
right there.

Speaker 10 (01:04:25):
It's crazy because, like Prolific will say, uh, you can
be the sickest cutter in your garage, in your room,
your studio, et cetera. But when it comes to the battle,
it's like you forget some of your power cuts, you know.

Speaker 8 (01:04:44):
And that's what happened.

Speaker 10 (01:04:45):
Because now that I'm thinking about it, I'm like, oh,
I do this one?

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
Why did I do that one?

Speaker 8 (01:04:50):
What I could have done this one? I could have
done that one, but I stuck to what I know
the most. But I told myself, I need a sharp
bring it up. You need to make it sound better,
like the like the chirp, the fast chirp. I was contemplating, like, fuck,
should should I do this one? But yeah, do it

(01:05:12):
because you can.

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
You've done this before many times in your in your
fucking house and your garage. Do it.

Speaker 3 (01:05:18):
So I did it.

Speaker 8 (01:05:18):
I felt confident and it came out. It's just how
I wanted, you know, coude. Even though the chirp is
a chirp, but when you have to driple fucking time
with chrp, god damn.

Speaker 6 (01:05:28):
Yeah, you can hear Dan went in the background, man,
you got lucky.

Speaker 8 (01:05:31):
You got lucky.

Speaker 6 (01:05:35):
And I told I told him there's no need to
you know, no need to beat around the bush.

Speaker 8 (01:05:40):
I keep it humble, bro.

Speaker 6 (01:05:42):
I told them, if you fucked up, fool because I
fucked up and you fucked up.

Speaker 8 (01:05:46):
If you wouldn't have fucked up, you would have won simple.

Speaker 3 (01:05:51):
If you wouldn't have fucked up, you would have wound up.

Speaker 8 (01:05:53):
But since you fucked up, it came down to.

Speaker 6 (01:05:57):
Cut.

Speaker 3 (01:05:58):
It was too because you can almost kind of you
almost seen it, like and Dad, like you had like
a really good set and when it was his turn,
it was like he knew, like, oh, ship Tony fucking
went hard and then he was like fuck like it's
like it's awards, Like, yeah, you were able to see that,
and he funked up like you.

Speaker 1 (01:06:16):
He was pulling out ship yoh, y'all was just pulling both.

Speaker 4 (01:06:19):
Y'all was dope from the beginning.

Speaker 1 (01:06:21):
It was the moment, Yeah, yeah, you you definitely pulled
it out and and and you did your thing. You
came out out the top.

Speaker 3 (01:06:27):
Thanks, you know, and it's well deserved.

Speaker 8 (01:06:29):
Man, and it's it's it's only motivating. Its motivational.

Speaker 10 (01:06:34):
If that's the game, ward, it only motivates me more.

Speaker 4 (01:06:38):
That's that's what I was dioking point.

Speaker 8 (01:06:39):
It only motivates me more more because now I know I.

Speaker 3 (01:06:42):
Can I can keep up with somebody's fucking six s crutches.

Speaker 10 (01:06:46):
Like for me to cut with that's a blessing, like God,
three term world champion for me to be cutting and
then listening to his coutsin all right, I need to
practice shit at home, and that's what inspires me to
keep going even though I don't have the time because
of work and you guys know life.

Speaker 3 (01:07:07):
Yeah yeah, but when I do have the.

Speaker 10 (01:07:10):
Time, best fucking believe I have some of the best
fucking cutters no hormal in my mind.

Speaker 8 (01:07:18):
Practicing what they do for switching.

Speaker 10 (01:07:20):
It up obviously, that's what everyone does. They bite a
little bit of here and bite a little bit and
then switch.

Speaker 8 (01:07:24):
It up, you know, because we all have own style.
And I'm telling you, man, I love your fucking style.

Speaker 9 (01:07:32):
Bro Hey, It's so funny because he would tell me
to like if we would cut and like in Lotus's
place with everybody's.

Speaker 6 (01:07:38):
Like, oh man, I'm gonna work on that ship. I'm
want to learn that yeah, and.

Speaker 10 (01:07:45):
The fatallest cuts that not the one where he sucks
around with the volumes.

Speaker 8 (01:07:48):
Where he brings it down.

Speaker 3 (01:07:50):
Not that one like in five years, I'll get that
ship in five years, but the other one where he
just record, just touch the record the record.

Speaker 8 (01:07:59):
I wanted to do it in the.

Speaker 3 (01:08:01):
Battle against that one, but I wasn't confident enough because
it's that I have it though I have it, I
have it, I have it. That's why I really do
it because like, honestly, like you could tap it wrong
and then the needle jokes.

Speaker 6 (01:08:16):
That's a risky play.

Speaker 3 (01:08:17):
That's the risk, and that's why that's part of what
makes the scratch so dope.

Speaker 4 (01:08:20):
Yeah, but you make it look so easy when you're
doing it.

Speaker 1 (01:08:22):
Man, it's like your face concentrated, it's just like nonchalant
and you're doing it.

Speaker 3 (01:08:27):
I'm like, oh, that's years.

Speaker 6 (01:08:32):
Yeah, that's really what it is.

Speaker 9 (01:08:33):
It's just you know, like any any art you do right,
you do it so so much or ten thousand hours
of the police minimum.

Speaker 3 (01:08:41):
To be confident. Just thought over a plate of the
pas right here, Doc hooking it up those tacos is definitely.

Speaker 10 (01:08:52):
Excuse me, how long did it take you to do
that fader this cut, but when when you turn the volume.

Speaker 9 (01:08:57):
Down, Uh, that actually was wasn't that hard because I
was already doing the favorless cut. Yeah, And so the
only reason I added the volume fader was for a
battle preparing for a battle basically.

Speaker 6 (01:09:12):
So I needed to come up with something that I
knew for a fact that no one else was going
to do that day. And I knew for a fat no.

Speaker 8 (01:09:18):
Want to do that nobody else does it.

Speaker 9 (01:09:20):
Yeah, so I'm like, all right's your cut. Well, the
history on that cut is back in ninety six, I
saw Hubert do his swipe technique. He does this technique
where he's wiping the record with his what is it
his left hand because he scratches on right side, right,
so he's wiping it imitating a fader type of cut.

(01:09:43):
And so I couldn't imitate his technique. So I understand
the concept of the technique. So I'm like, okay, let
me position my hand in a way where I could
imitate that sound. And then from there I started doing
chirp flares with like you know, with basically variations of
different scratches imitating a fader with no fader right, so

(01:10:09):
fast forward to.

Speaker 6 (01:10:10):
Two thousand and I think ten or eleven.

Speaker 3 (01:10:13):
Uh.

Speaker 9 (01:10:13):
When I saw Hubert at Nam, I figured, you know what,
who's the best person to ask right to see if
you created something new? So I asked Hubert, hey man,
can I show you something? And can you confirm if
you've seen anyone do this?

Speaker 6 (01:10:27):
And he's like, all right, cool, I did it. And
then he's like, I've never seen that.

Speaker 8 (01:10:31):
What do you call it?

Speaker 6 (01:10:31):
And I'm like, I don't know because I didn't know
it's something.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
New, so.

Speaker 9 (01:10:38):
That specific technique, yes, you name it. Well, at the time,
I didn't have a name right away. So then I figured,
you know what, uh I mean, let me come up
with the name. And so the best the best I
could do based off where I'm from. You know, la
born and raised is what are certain words that are
used here?

Speaker 6 (01:10:57):
Right?

Speaker 9 (01:10:58):
So for example, one of the one of the phrases
growing up, we would always say jam, Hey man, that's jam.

Speaker 6 (01:11:04):
There's a traffic jam.

Speaker 9 (01:11:05):
But there's always a word jam, right, And so what's
another word of saying to stop?

Speaker 4 (01:11:10):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:11:10):
It is to jam?

Speaker 6 (01:11:11):
I want you to Once you jam something, you stop it.

Speaker 9 (01:11:14):
So I figured, you know what, let me call this
the jammer scratch because I'm literally stopping the record with
my hand, and so I went ahead and just called
it the scratch.

Speaker 6 (01:11:25):
Yeah, the jammer scratch. But I don't really go out advertise.

Speaker 9 (01:11:29):
It or anything like that, just because it's you know,
it's something that I have a passion for. I don't
really care to get famous off of doing that scratch
or anything like that. It's just you know, educating people
what's possible, basically. And so when I saw you executing it,
like oh, yes, this guy finally has it, you know
what I mean. But at the same time, I could
tell you you were observing, analyzing, and like, man, I'm

(01:11:51):
gonna get that.

Speaker 6 (01:11:52):
I'm gonna get that, and it finally eventually I.

Speaker 8 (01:11:54):
Saw you do it.

Speaker 6 (01:11:55):
I'm like, there you go.

Speaker 4 (01:11:57):
Yes, it's here. It's not precise, it's not sharp, but
you can hear it.

Speaker 3 (01:12:01):
You're like, oh shit, okay, you got it.

Speaker 6 (01:12:04):
You know, so I've added a few.

Speaker 3 (01:12:06):
Little to it.

Speaker 6 (01:12:07):
Yeah. And again, like you mentioned, like, hey, how long
did it take you to learn the fail list?

Speaker 9 (01:12:12):
With fading the volume right, and going back to that
question is again I was getting ready for a battle,
and so I forgot which battle this was. I think
this was like DMC twenty seventeen, and so I knew
for a fact I needed something new to come up
where I know that for a fact that judges have
never seen this technique, and so that's how they've already

(01:12:35):
seen my failure list technique. So I'm like, how can I,
you know, advance that technique or add something to it?
And that's why I figured, you know what that's that's
another extra layer of a challenging motion because now I'm
doing the faire list and fading the volume up and down.

Speaker 6 (01:12:51):
Yes, and again it's just practice.

Speaker 9 (01:12:54):
But once you understand and you're able to execute the
fail list scratch and then then like you said, you
you could add your own flavor to it or whatever.

Speaker 8 (01:13:03):
And so that's yeah, well.

Speaker 10 (01:13:05):
I need a whole lot of Nick Cannon moments and
keep observing you because that's the.

Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
Only way I want to get it down.

Speaker 9 (01:13:12):
You know what I'm talking about, Nick Kennon the movie
drum line, Yeah, instrout drum line.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
Yeah right, yeah right, I'm telling you, I'm saying that
that's what that's what it is for. I mean, if
you're listening, know that you can come back in September
because round two, Session two. What is the season two?

Speaker 6 (01:13:35):
