- Mista Sinista will be my special guest DJ at the launch of my new bi-weekly Sunday party #thefunbRunch at Queens Comfort Feb. 7th from 10a - 4p.
As y'all know, it wasn't until I met my mentor Andrew Venable aka Dr. Butcher in 1990 that I began developing my own signature style on turntables. Drew Daddy helped me understand that knowing how to do what those whom I idolized did in the many DMC and NMS battles I studied just wasn't gon' cut it (excuse the pun) if I wanted to make an impression on the DJ world. On the contrary, I needed to forget everything I learned, start with a clean slate, and begin finding my true self on turntables. Just as Drew pointed me down the correct path, there was this other young kid the Dr. was grooming in much the same way. His name, Joey aka Mista Sinista.
Word... Drew was grooming us both simultaneously. "Whereas you and I spent more time training and sharing ideas, Sinista spent more time watching me practice and studying my approach to djing." I think this differentiation made it so I eventually was farther along in the process of creating my DJ identity.
By 1991, Drew began gravitating more towards music production, causing Sin and myself to naturally drift towards each other. From July of 1991 through August of 1992, Sin helped me train for the 1992 Northeast DMC competition at the old Palladium on 14th St. (Union Sq., NYC). He'd trek it to my parent's home in Jackson Heights, Queens from East Elmhurst. The walk is about 1.5 miles, possibly longer. But regardless of rain, sleet, or snow, Sin would make it to me by foot so long as I offered him a few packets of Twinkies to refuel from the long journey.
He'd just sit there, timing me, offering feedback on what it was I needed to do to improve my DMC set. Indirectly, watching me train was helping Sin understand how he could incorporate my ideas into his own unique version of what a DMC set could look and sound like. Coupled along with this post is a perfect example of what I mean. Enjoy!
P.S. Mista Sinista will be putting his amazing turntable skills on display at Queens Comfort this Sunday from 10am to 4pm. Accompanying Sin will be my student from last semester's #DJSkillsAndStyles course at The New School Joosephine Jason and the Godfather of Noise, the one and only Rahzel (Rah's set time will be at 1pm).
So if you're in or around Astoria, Queens this Sunday, stop through my new party #thefunbRunch and watch this trio showcase what true Hip Hop talent sounds like while you stuff your faces. - เพลง

Easily my favorite juggler of all time. The breakdowns into his juggles and the body trick combos at the beginning of SWAT are epic!
Thank the hip-hop gods for stumbling down a rabbit hole and landing here!! Just mf amazing!!this is top tier table work!?
Ups to my bro DP-ONE on the right hand side with the classic design fade
True master
One of my fav jugglers of all time.He laced the scratches on those Common albums stupid ILL as well...Legend!
+dexxxhunt On The Beatnuts albums too!
+Sound Me All day....I'm not sure,but did he do the cutz on Common's "The bitch in yoo"?Don't think that's Pete,but who knows.Off topic,but Raider killed the cutz on Oc's "Time up"...so damn funky.
+dexxxhunt "Time's up" my fault
+dexxxhunt Sinista did scratches on "Resurrection" and "One Day It'll All Make Sense" albums. Raida is on O.C.'s "Word... Life" album, but on "Time's Up" song is Total Eclipse. All info you have on discogs.com :)
Dope nostalgia I miss those days
Unbelievable You guys are fuckin amazing
A true glory to hip-hop 🙏
wow I miss the 80s and 90s ,hip hop was a way of life. it was real . DJ's were on point.
today in 2016 music is trash and I don't see any new dope DJ around.
shout out to Rob S for keeping hip hop and the DJ still relevant!
+Tony vic Thank you dude. I appreciate the positive words.
@@robswift1551 much love rob! Learned 2 patterns in 2 days with watching your videos... i learned the breakdown and steve dee snare pattern. I also did the snare pattern on one of my own beats that i found. (Too hard for the f*cking radio by mac dre)
That's a tight ass shirt!!!
These old vids r so dope i rem the time wen hip hop was pure not like the trash it became today late 80s to mid 90s was def the period in hip hop history specifically 87-95
This was a dope DJ battle! Total Eclipse took 1st and I took 2nd place back in 1996. I still got the trophy, I wonder if E still has that 1200?
Dudes looking envious, lol
Audio wasn't great, but I don't think he even slightly missed a beat! RIP Roc Raider.
Still my fave tablist up to this day
+mantus word!
Mista Sinista is Wolverine.
Look at the young Mr. Sinista, lol!
I want to see the routine where he uses the third bass specifically the Prime Minister Pete nice to make the word sinister
I remember going to Beat Street back in the days...that had all the bootlegs back in the day. You could find everything in that store. Electronics and shit upstairs, and all the DJ shit downstairs. Too bad the new Brooklyn forced stores like this out of existence. At least we still have Rock N Soul.... Yo Rob I'm from #TheHurst too!! Went to St.Gabes. Shouts to you bro!!!
💯🔥
Thumbs up
Love dvs but i miss cue burn too
The SWAT theme and his METHOD MAN routines are the funkiest shit ever!
👍🏾
Still stupid!!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Shouts to DJ Big Ben & DP One also in the video lol.
he ended the swatt juggle on the right table, but on the DMC video h ends on the left table.
