A masterpiece. Considering the technical difficulties at that time to provide all the sounds, the music, the knowledge and no availability in terms of creative input sources like youtube or something else - it‘s just insane!
Oh my motherloving soul!!! Nike??? Wtf bro? after watching your stellar performance I feel like I just dropped 5 acids.. wow bro.. by far the best dj competition I have ever had the misfortune of witnessing. Thanks sioioio much boyzzzz
1997 was such a weird in-between period for DJ battles. The reigning champs (ISP, Noize and them) were done with competing but had brought the level up. But the newer cats hadn't yet mastered all the innovations. I get why A-trak won, since he baffled the jury with new techniques while the other guys were still doing old style DMC sets, but his set gets sloppy pretty quickly, especially the scratching. He knows all the new tricks the Piklz had taught him, but still needed to learn how to implement them tastefully and make it funky. The last 2 sets (Crazy B and Tommy) for instance were way more entertaining and musical.
Sam Houston are you serious? Atrak slayed it and was very musical yet technical at the same time. His set was pretty clean too. Atrak went on to win numerous world titles, DJ’d for Kanye West, started Fools Gold and is still doing his thing in the EDM scene now.
LONG BEFORE CZcams. IF U WANTED TO LEARN THIS SHIT, U HAD TO LOOK FOR VHS "HOW TO" JOINTS, OR GET DOWN WITH SOMEONE WHO KNEW HOW TO GET BIZ. I DIDN'T PAY TOO MUCH ATTENTION TO THE VHS END OF IT EITHER BACK THEN. NOW IT SEEMS I'VE GOT THE BRAIN WAVES FOR THIS AT THE TENDER AGE OF 53! I'VE GOT TOO MUCH OF AN IDEA NOW, JUST FROM LISTENING.
My best djs to do this are dj jazzy jeff, cash money, dj magic Mike, dj Mr mixx, mix master Mike, dj jealous j, dj premier, spinbad, Joe cooly, jam master j. sorry but no one on here comes close all the djs on here are just OK nothing special at all but that's just how i feel
Has to be said... DJ kid from the Philippines is just awful... Looks like he's on something other than the decks too.... and just when you think it can't get any worse he's followed by DJ Nike... The best thing about this year is the move away from letting teams enter. A Trak won by a mile.
thanks for posting this. real turntablism at its finest. no serato stuff.
Dj slyce Is a Monster 😎

The world needs Dj Nike scratch tapes
Wow.
A-Train is a beast.

Wow at the 21:40 brazilian DJ Jack play birembau with elastic bands on the pick up of his Turntable.
perhaps Numark got that from him
Woooooooowwwww
56:51 The Run DMC routine is completely underrated. In fact, Akakabe's whole routine is still underrated.
A-Train killed it.
A-Train!
DocSpratley33 😂 I thought it was just me.
Dj Nike was fucking excruciating, i had to put my face in my hands.
Give it up for A-Traaaaiiinnnn from Canada!
Atrak: Nigga what!? 1:14:48
A clear win for A - Trak. How could anyone possibly beat him?
AKAKABE
41:38 a trak starts
U mean A-Train 😂
the first guy at the beginning set the bar high tho very quick
A-Train blew em out the water.

Agreed good summary my guy
well said---not hating but i never rated a trak
Pogo was too nice
You can tell that they give that kid 1st place out of pitty. Poor guy in second place got screwed out of 1st just to not hurt some tween's feelings.

But who do you have that could possibly beat him?
A trak fucking slayed everybody there, his juggling was immaculate. Sound control and scratching were far above all those other '' DJ's '' there.
No. He was the best that year hands down

Andrew is no joke
What is the sound that plays at 7:15 in Dj Momo's presentation?
Notice how DMC founder and announcer, Tony Prince, gets A-Trak's name wrong and incorrectly say's 'A-Train'. A-Trak gives him that WTF look
MC JACK na minha opinião foi o melhor de todos!
E aquele dj italiano tentou fazer bonito representando seu país mais de deu mal.
Tamujunto e mixado na cena mano....
@@MCJack-kj2zp pode crê DJ!
Since 8:06 DJ Momo is kickin
lol at the end they pronounced A traks name wrong A Train
a-treaaaaain lol 1:14:45
Kkkķkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Вот их колбасит))
He is not A - Trak in first is Ray Dee from Germany
RIP
Back when you actually had to be good on the decks to be a DJ, Nowday's theres just anybody on a decks.
1:22:15 🎯🎯🎯
Parece que foi ontem!!!!!

Check out DJ Craze if you don't know him - 98,99,2000 champion and argueably the best to ever compete
29:04 djdoc 허리케인박
That killin me softly thing was soooooo. Wack
Has to be said... DJ kid from the Philippines is just awful... Looks like he's on something other than the decks too.... and just when you think it can't get any worse he's followed by DJ Nike...
The best thing about this year is the move away from letting teams enter.
A Trak won by a mile.
I feel like he could be good if he wasn't soo fucking cocky and didn't choose corny ass tracks.
Followed by Nike is Dj Joss...horrible
one of the judges is GAY
