Besides Charlie Chase , This dude here was about the sickest DJ to me. We saw them as Superheros... the same way others had hero's we had these cats as peeps we wanted to be. I got my first look at Wiz Kid when he was cuttin hell lose while the "Herculoids (and kool Herc)" were on the Mic. Thats a clissic Wiz Kid Tape. He is Sick with his and Peeps dont give him his props. Icon never talked about. Peace always to Wiz Kid.
RIP Whiz Kid, Whiz is my Fave DJ right behind Flash,he was reeeal smooth and he used the tables like an instrument you dont believe me,go listen to Play That Beat, then listen to Scratch Goes My Dub Whiz scratched sounds nobody thought of and made them sound like instruments. In Scratch goes my Dub 1:10-1:36 sounds like a bass guitar,I remember not knowing it was a DJ word is bond.Imperial Bros We Dub to Scratch, all of that Whiz man you killed it baby and we really miss you big homey Peace,Dee
@soulful1illusion there is a portion of this mix that is taken from starwars by meco. I'm certain of it because I used to juggle that same part of the meco record. I've had it dice it's release in the late 70s early 80's it's un mistakeable when you begin to hear r2d2 begin to squelch.
In the Documentry (Beat This! A Hip Hop History) 1984 you can see a short clip of Whiz Kid i Have the full 30min Video with MC Globe sitting watching.......Dick Fontaine Has the proper copy as he was the Director for the show...
@samson10000 video? jeez! what I'd give to see that, if you ever consider converting it up and posting then some of us would really appreciate it (I say 'some' of us. you know how it is..haha)
Damn, I thought I heard all of the old school joints but now I'm hearing shit I ain't never heard before. What are the title of these records he's spinnin' and cutting up?
Flash made scratching known to the world on 'The Adventures of Grand Master Flash on The Wheels of Steel' in 1981 where you been? Im wit you Horus, joints like these are what taught me how to cut and scratch.Thank God for Whiz Flash,Chuck,Scratch On Galaxy,Vicious Lee, Jazzy J, and all the cats that made scratch records during this period dont sleep on Chase, he puit work in on 'Fresh Wild,Fly and Bold Peace to all the pioneers. Eastwest I dont think Whiz was on 'Icant Stop,' DJ Scott I think.
yes whiz kid was no doubt unda rated,i remember the grandwizard theodore vs whiz kid jam i think theodore win.but if u was there or hear that no doubt about whiz kid got robbed

The legend
When I read 'dj whiz kid - house tape, 1981 ', I thought, yeah, I like house music too!! But, this is sick!!!!! 11 out of 10!
You can't get realer than this! R.I.P Whiz Kid.
R.I.P Dj Whiz Kid. Way ahead of his time.
Whiz was DEFINITELY Ahead of his time...One of the Premiere Innovators!!! Thanks for Posting this!
i have this actual session on video somewhere..Brings back the memorys...Peace..
I love the Disco Star Wars scratching at the beginning.
It's on meco star wars and other galactic funk listen to the entire album and you will hear it.
Got this on cassette somewhere starting from the "Black Grass" part.
That 30 minute tape must be worth sharing :-)
He sounds better than a lot of current DJ's and If I'm correct Whiz was not even using 1200's! You truly are missed Big Homie!
This beat is so tight
@djscratchd It's actually Dave Matthews not Meco dude
