Man I was lucky to see Roc Raida more than once live and he was such a chill guy. One time I saw him battle Lord Finesse in Toronto and Grand Wizard Theodor had a set during the after party. The other time i saw him in Hamilton Ontario and after the set I went on stage to talk to him and the manager of the place came up on stage and told me to get off the stage. Roc Raida told the manager to get off the stage and we kept talking about all things hop hop. RIP to one of the best Djs ever and a real nice guy.
Man that's how we usually are. Ron G, Clue, Jazzy Jeff, FunkFlex before car show a bunch... It was all love as long as you didn't do 3 things. 3. Start a fight that causes danger or harm 2. Interrupt us in a set especially to ask for a song played before or you asked for before. Top Number #1 thing. DON'T BUMP THE DAMN TABLES! LMAO 😂 I have stopped an entire party cause of that. Many have... That person gotta be moved far away from us!
Executioners DJRoc Raids (Rip) DJ Precision & Boogie blind came to leeds Uni . Dope night , got to speak to boogie blind and he was cool as #uck. Down to earth !
After watching this on VHS back in the day all I wanted to was practice DJing especially from the good times mind blowing set at the end. I practiced that set OVER AND OVER! RIP ROC RAIDA!!! 🙏🕊️
I remember seeing Roc at an Executioners show with Common. Some cat in the audience brought his records and challenged him to a battle right there. He took the kid up on his offer and proceeded to smoke him although the kid was good. It was all love at the end but he gave dude a chance to shine. Much respect to a legend. RIP
Dude was smoother than butter and ruffer than sandpaper.. No dvs, laptop, his cue points are stickers ..this set shows not only his banging turntablistics but also his impeccable timing and knowledge of records. Around the 230 mark when he lets the mix go hands off and it mixes in at perfect tempo... Dude is a serious legend and he's one of the reasons why I started DJing.
I totally agree me being an vinyl dj no laptop just original sweat in years in learning with vinyl I always respect his talent rest easy d.j. Roc raida 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It has been an honour learning from this man. He did not have to go out his way to show me the ins and outside of turntablism... he is one reason I keep on with deejaying...my sensei.
Anyone who was lucky enough to meet Raida can attest to how humble and down to earth he was. I had the pleasure of chilling and blazing with him many times after shows. Such a cool cat, it killed me he died one of the largest influences for me as a youngin.
Forever missed, Forever a DJ pioneer, Forever a X-Ecutioner and I remember having the VHS of the comp n Roc showed how much prep and dedication he gave to win this….. Miss you homie, we all do 🙏🏼 📀🎚️🎛️🎚️📀 Love, Purpose n Peace MCD
What up Raida. White owl here. Big Up. Harlem days kicking it in Foster and 113 & 7th. in front Red Alert building. And upstairs in the cypher with Kev ‘ Chicken Lover ‘Miss you ! One of a kind. Rare One
He was amazing but the best i don't think so top 10 yes but i put dj jazzy jeff ' cash money' dj magic Mike' dj Mr mixx' and mix master Mike a head of him don't get me wrong his a legend. r. i. p.
@@davidcoleman8900 OK thanks, i'll Check that Album. I never saw jazzy jeff doing anything what I cant do, like the very easy RUN DMC Peter Piper Routine.
I love the way he shows off here... I think back then this was the best way of showing your skills. A lot this stuff would pass by unnoticed, and then came this! Love it! 1:47 how he lines it up so tight!
His timing at 1:35 🤯 till this day I laugh at it cuz it so on point. And his Chief rocka routine around 2:47 another 🤯. I had these on vhs when they came out and still his timing in impeccable, almost cat like on the turntables. Rip Roc RAIDA THE 🐐
If this routine doesn’t make you want to become a DJ, you should never try to become a DJ...because this is how good you should try to become #legend #grandmasterroccaida
@@its_me_dave, I 100% know I can never attain these skills so I stick to what I know which is dancing & b-boying. At least doing what I know I can I have a chance of competing, which is what most of hip hop's real spirit is about.
I witnessed the executioners live back in the day. Raida was the man, complete showman. I've always admired how much passion he put into his sets. I can always see the heart an culture of original New York city hip hop deajaying in his style. You can tell he was influenced and inspired by the original true djs of the time. He had great vibes when I dapped him up, a true legend. So sad he didn't have more time to enjoy his success.
^ yes! This is interesting. It took a while before Shure started marketing them to Turntablists. I would like to know more of how the M44-7/G became the "standard" (or one of the standards).
^^ A few DJs in Europe, especially Japan were already using it for years in DJ battles. in the US- and from what I know....D Styles was the one who used them a lot and showed them to me. Then we told Q about it and looked all over Japan during our next tour and bought out every back stock of em at every DJ store we went into. Finally contacted the Shure HQ's in Evanston, IL and found a rep who slightly had to to something with them. We pushed them to revive the model and helped re build the phono line at the company. They've been down since then....RIP Jimmy Needlz..
Roc raida is one of the smoothest. Been a fan of his for years. I never was a good M.C but with DJ like this to pave the way I quickly picked up fast on the Vinyl.
Ray has always been amazing I would love to see him do some atmosphere and Jurassic 5. Crank the BPM so you can flow whenever you are skateboarding or at the gym. Miss you darling there are no words to describe how much we all miss Andy especially me he was a good friend. You are a good man.
R.I.P. ROC RAIDA, it was an honor knowing you personally and being your friend. Respect to the original grave diggers, MF GRIMM, B1 the undertaker and WORLD CHAMPION DJ ROC RAIDA. ✊🏾💪🏾🙌🏾

You saw a DJ battle a MC?
@@trevorhembrough1290 Lord Finesse is also a DJ and Producer do your homework.

He's the reason I went out to buy turntables again. The science behind juggling blew my mind. He did it a few times. Most chill dude I ever met. RIP
This was revolutionary. RIP Roc Raida

Gotta give him credit for daring, I wouldn't have done that. I would've been too shook.
Shit cat
Massive balls going after a legend like Roc Raida. Great story
I saw that same show! I saw it in Austin, Texas. It was late 97 or early 98. Where did you see it?
It was in Tampa in 98...
Fucking Dope!!!! One of the greatest to ever do it. No one can do it like him. Mold is broken.
I remember buying this on VHS and watching it non-stop. This dude was absolute talent. This is still brilliant 25 years later
GRANDMASTER ROC RAIDA!
17/05/1972 - FOREVER..
LEGENDS NEVER DIE.
This dude never missed a beat. Even when the record skips at 3:26 and 4:09. May he forever rest a legend.
One of the greatest DJs to have ever lived 💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💪💪💪💪
Dude was smoother than butter and ruffer than sandpaper..

RIP. He convert me to deejaying watching this video in 1996 in france
I was pretty sad the day I heard he passed away. His sets are a good example of the peak of DJ culture. It ain't what it used to be.
Forever missed, Forever a DJ pioneer, Forever a X-Ecutioner and I remember having the VHS of the comp n Roc showed how much prep and dedication he gave to win this…..
Miss you homie, we all do 🙏🏼

Not sure why anyone would thumbs down this? Some legendary routines. Only turntables n mixer vinyl and skills!
Before the 44-7's, before skipless records, before serato you had to have the magic touch, even then the record skipped, even on this routine!
I know what you mean and I think the same about the magic need, but just wanted to mention that the M44-7 was launched in 1963
^ yes! This is interesting. It took a while before Shure started marketing them to Turntablists. I would like to know more of how the M44-7/G became the "standard" (or one of the standards).
