- "We're gonna do a song that you never heard before..." All-time legend DJ Aladdin (Alphonso Henderson) smokes the decks at the 1989 DMC World Eliminations, earning the #2 seed going into the Finals the following evening, where Mr. Henderson again finished runner-up to the UK champion and crowd favorite, Cutmaster Swift.
No Headphones, No Effects, No computer, No sampler, No Close Cut Fader, Just Pure raw Talent!
don1mega And turntables not even in battle style
He didn’t even mark his records!
@CHARLES 13X Trash? Aladdin won 2nd place in both the World DMC and World Supremacy battles plus was the 89 USA DMC Champ. Here's his winning and best performance th-cam.com/video/BkqInUBGZcc/w-d-xo.html
@@mortalsavage5213 Yeah, he did. You can see the stickers on the label of the Herman Kelly and Life records as well as all the others he was juggling, they were clearly marked.
@@Klos1neMN he means the record itself isn't marked that makes the needle slide right to the part of the record that he wants
Aladdin was a master at Planet Rock. This wasn't his best, but he was amazing with that break.
that man made the needle skip without skipping the rhythm of the song...FKIN INCREDIBLE!
This Is the man who produced Ice T album. O.G. original gangster. 1991. A legend In the game. Also from Low Profile. Featuring him and WC.
His scratches on that album was KiLLer!
O bicho é brabo!
a real dam DJ cuttin it up
One of the best to ever do it
Nothing he does compares to what he did in that USA DMC battle where he took the win. That's one of my favorite DMC routines of all time, bar none, all competitors...
he killed it in chicago -- so did miz
I AGREE-HIS BEST DMC PERFORMANCE WAS THE 1989 USA FINALS-FLAWLESS!!!!!!
Aladdin you knew better than to use that Gemini mixer. You needed that Numark bro.
ComptonsMost WantedGang talent was still evident, equipment not with standing
😂
He used his Numark 1150 the following night for the finals. He was the REAL champion of the 1989 WORLD DMC, Not the runner up as the judges say.
@@DeeJayBUNDY I don't know... Cutmaster Swift (although goofy) was nice and his routine was clean, solid, and entertaining.
@@gaffle7646 - CLEAN? excuse me? hahahaha!!! C. Swift is the sloppiest Dj i've ever seen. Didn't you see how he accidentaly dragged the needle and tonearm across the whole record when trying to get up on a chair? Almost blew the speakers so he just said forget it. All kinds of mistakes. DJ ALADDIN was wayyyy more entertaining and needle never skipped ONE TIME during the evening final battle OR US battle. The real reason Cash Money didnt want to defend his title is because he wanted to judge and help cheat Aladdin out to prevent Compton form being a first time world champ. NY and Philly were angry for Aladdin sneaking in as a NY qualifier, and claiming to whip NY. Otherwise he wouldve never made it as a US champion or world. They had to put a stop to that, and they did, but everyone still knows Aladdin was the real 1989 DMC WORLD CHAMPION aka Joe Cooley's son (nickname only).
The way he break down beats with upper and lower fader was damm impressive. I haven't seen no other DJ s do that.
Cash Money used to do this too.
Joe Cooley as well
Man tore that Gemini mixer to shreds those cuts for back then set the tone for what is going on today in the tablist world with the scratch world wide thanks dj Aladdin
Alladin in the top ten all-time with Flash, Jazzy Jeff, Jazzy Joyce, Cash Money, DJ Miz, DJ Mr Mixx, Kid Capri, Jam Master J, Dj Premier, DJ Red Alert...
joe cooley
D. Harris word up. No question
Steve dee in the top ten
There all shit
D. Harris Q-Bert??
This was str8 fire 🔥 for back then in the days OMFG 🤬
Dope dope dope
he worked that Gemini !!!
"ahhhhhhh"
I was managing Aladdin at this DMC battle. I'm somewhere in the crowd...... Doug Young.
Really dope the way he kut up the Hashim records
Aladdin for the time was very Dope, the one thing I see in him that doesn't matter today is he was heavy handed. Today DJ's need not have the talent to not have the record not skip, and that's why they don't matter as much and there are soooo many.
Those needle drops are ruthless.
Pioneer at it finest.
That “aah” record was the original “Change The Beat” on Celluloid Records, not a Dirt Style battle break lol.
He would of killed it more on his Numark DM 1150 with those line switches
I SO AGREE-TO ME HE WAS STRUGGLING WITH THAT GEMINI 2200.
He was straight up but went for it like a Gee
Hey man, have you got any of those Scratch Hamster cassette box-sets left to buy?
Clubman was the mixer.
You took the words out of my mouth. The gemini did not suit him at all.
Thanks!
real raw.......... no sync buttons,no computers...
Just Feel it!....Just feel it!
Diaz23 i think that's the 1st time anyone needle dropped. and he didn't do it on a break record. that's amazing
Your probably right man. Aladdin was a beast. Aladdin's 1580 Am Kday mix is dope as well. Wish he would've won the 89 title..oh well he's still one of the best legend
check out cutmaster swift's needle drops in his '88 uk final set: th-cam.com/video/lXRfmyzMwgw/w-d-xo.html
A classic track, since 1983. It never gets old!
Shum you da man DJ abc uk
What this DJ is doing is not an easy task.putting the needle on his mark to repeat take skills.i think he was pretty impressive
This was when djs use their real telent to show others what they are made of.
HOLD THE FUCK UP!!.. In the DMC, we got DJ Aladdin & Cut Master Swift with the SAME INTRO in '89 🤔
(I'm glad we are cutting & juggling at this time!! No yet in 'Battle Mode' with the Technic 1200's 😆💯 )
i actually never noticed that but you are right... I think that's Mantronix "King of the Beats"... but the two sets occurred on different nights... this is Aladdin's Eliminations set at the Astoria Theatre, and Cutmaster Swift was at the Finals at Royal Albert Hall the following evening.
Dj cheese cut master dc jazzy Jeff mr mix cash money dj Aladdin mixmaster ice joe Cooley etc........
Extra chilly most!!!!!
banging
Rockin the the 1200s with the old school Sergio Tachinni's on! Those truly were the greatest years in hip hop and life in general. Another thing I noticed Aladdin isn't using headphones?
Clean AF! 🔥
Ummm no
handmade dope dude greatings
Is this the same Aladin that was Ice T's dj?
Sans retour casque, excellent
It's funny how you don't see too much of the old-school semifinal competitions anywhere. They are quite a rare find for the DMC collection. If you can, could you please post videos of the semifinals for 1992, 1993-94, 1996, and 1997?
The '92 and especially the '93-94 Eliminations were full of lousy teams, so I haven't uploaded much of that. Would be happy to if there's enough requests.
So there were no single competitors with the exceptions of Danielle Mondello, DJ Shahin, Sparra, 1210 Jazz, and even DJ Rectangle during that time? And how about 1996 and 1997 eliminations? I would love to see those two with finding out that there were over 30 countries representing.
Well, in '92, Knud, Ta-Shi and Tommy all made it to the Final as solo DJs. Their Elimination and Final sets were essentially identical.
I have Mondello's set from '94 if you want me to put that up.
Great! I would also like to see DJ Shahin's 1992 set as well! Shahin was indeed a masterpiece when he put the turntables on fire in 1993-94. I have almost every World Final from 1987 to 1998. The only two that I don't have are 1988 and 1991, although I did see the 1991 World Finals here on TH-cam. Come to think of it, my favorite DJ in that competition is DJ Trip, because in my opinion he does indeed have the fastest hands on the decks. I hope you can post the 1996 and the 1997 World Eliminations soon. I would love to see the countries of Lebanon, Luxembourg, Egypt, Thailand, and even Russia go at it. And plus I would like to see Italy's DJ Nike's Elininations set, too.
Cuz you can’t get enough of everlasting (Bass 2 make the wall shake)
2:27 DJ Honda bit that juggle 3 years later, anyone see that?
No head phones!That take alot of concentration to do what he did.This a very creative dj in my book.i dj when it became very popular in the early 80s.The 80's was the best era to be a kid.
Could you upload crazy fast nefis 1992 semifinals?
🎼🔥🔥🔥💣💣💣💨
2:58... WHAT ARE THOSE!!!!
sergio tacchini shoes?
My dads mixer and hes kool herc ha ha ha dj ABC uk
I think that I am going to reiterate what ;Donald's TH-cam Channel' below, But, it is refreshing, that albeit 31 years ago. it is great to see someone ACTUALLY using turntables. Give me a set of turntables linked to a laptop of computer tunes. I could smash that in a couple of weeks! Give me turntables and proper vinyl, it would take me a lot longer! PS, I can beat/Bbar match on SL1200's!
Records were sold after on discogs NM
whats the last song/break?
Sergio Tacchini sneakers.
Anyone know the name of the first track
The very first is, Double D & Steinski - 'Lesson 3'. The one beginning at 0.17 seconds in is, Mantronix - 'The King Of The Beats (instrumental)' it's pitched up by Aladdin here.
what's that song with the sample "Just Feel It"?
Hashim - Al Naafiysh (The Soul) th-cam.com/video/i46sF1PcqL8/w-d-xo.html
Thanks
looking at all these old school battles i realize they didn't sticker mark their records. i wonder what year did that start
As far as I know, Mick "Cutfather" Hansen invented sticker cues--'87 or '88
that's dope!! all the older videos i saw they didn't have em but they knew the proximate area of were they wanted to go and just used the fader to know when their part began. love hiphop/dj history
Ken Larsen (Denmark) introduced stickers for cueing in dj events in 1987 . Christian Marclay also used stickers on vinyl as a sound effect in the late 70s.
Cutmaster swift was needle dropping in the 1988 & 1989 Uk finals & also the 1988 New music seminar.
Some of Q Berts 1991 set should be credited to Christian Marclay.
never even knew about christian marclay! he was on some next level stuff
+Michael Shum Didn't Grandmaster Flash invent the sticker cues?
Shame this guy didn't go much further, I think his demons got the better of him. Hope hes doing good today.
0:17 Ice-T The Hunted Child...
what mixer is that
ok, gemini,
Tj G the mixer is a gemini 2200 i believe. Correct me if im wrong
What is the track at 0:58
Nina Mihelcic dance to the drummers beat th-cam.com/video/uJhddZYqUmc/w-d-xo.html
Nina Mihelcic I thought I heard Supercuts by Rodney O&Joe Cooley
what’s the track at 3:32??
soulsonic force
@@MichaelShum what song though? soulsonic force is a group
planet rock
@@MichaelShum you sure? i can’t find the part that he’s using for some reason
it's Orbit - The beat goes on
Aladdin, Cash Money or Jazzy Jeff??
webadas xd
Horrific
Aladdin should have used a Numark mixer instead tryna be like them Philly DJ's and use a Gemini mixer. #fuckthecritics
If I remember right, the only gear you could bring was your own needles. Everything else was sponsored (Techs/Gemini).
Can't knock the wood sides and needle meter tho!!! I think the Jazzy Jeff mixer was the first with easily replaceable faders.
If he would have just stuck to his usa routine he would have destroyed swift
Wasn’t the best for the year
But that’s my opinion!
Before hip-hop was stolen from us blacks.
Was kinda of a hot mess.... surprised by all the praise... off beat, constantly skipping, not matching right and the scratching was off beat too.
Media buster you should've showed us how it's done.
@@blainelee8021 word..
At least he tried
I thought the same too...bt i was in awe of his set in the U.S finals where it was flawless,with pretty much the same records...ive never seen this til now,bt it was no where near as great as the U.S finals in 89
Sorry but these guys are no where near the level of the modern pros
It's good to see my VHS conversions are still being shared all over, I actually sent every Elimination & World finals I had to DMC (except 1990 & 1996 Eliminations, the 1990 tape I lost and they never recorded the 1996 Eliminations) I even had them all up on youtube but was asked by DMC to remove it all because it was getting more views than their own video site.
Are you making a 30 year difference comparison? Moron
whats the title of the intro
