Q bert and Appolo met me at my hotel in San Fransisco and gave me the first Edition to the Records they made...strictly for battle purposes.
They were the first....I can vouch for them.
look at the mixers they were killing it with..unreal
This the best from the Bay. I grew up with Qbert and a bunch of folks from Balboa High. Plus H2 has been a good friend of mine since Jr High. To this day all these guys are masters at their craft.
I had this on VHS..good times!
I remember when we were all DJing back in the late 80's at Imagine and in the caff at Balboa. They (Qbert and MixMaster Mike) have always had mad talent. Mad props to "LiveStyle Productions, Sound Invasion, MixMaster Mike, Dj Apollo, Mind Motion, Lada Sounds and of course us Majestical Productions. The Bay Dj's have always set the standard.
You could DJ in the cafeteria, in school? That would never be allowed here in the UK.
I remember watching this and always hoping it would shore up one day! Thanks for uploading it.
No worries, hope you enjoyed it!
I'm still trying to find the one when we were on there performing with T-MOR and Eddie Def this was a good post I remember we all use to kick it big around this time big up to OG Dominique.
I went to school w/ all these guys. Qbert used to live by top of the hill Daly City. Mike and I went to Westmoor High together. Man, Mike,Danny and I used to kick it at Mike's mom's apartment by SerraMonte mall till the wee hours. We would just make music, smoke weend and drink 40's. Those were the days. Big Ups for posting this video. It brought back a lot of memories.
this performance never fails to give goosebumps. Shit is clean!
haha dayemn, you finally post the classic ish, i remember this, LOL!
it defiantly shows how free form hip hop really is
I loved watching Home Turf back in the day, saturday mornings...thanks for posting this classic vid...Bay Area represent!!
Thanks to this, I never have to see any other youtube videos of DJ's ever again. Because everything is right in here.
Dominique DiPrima represented the Bay very well, brought light to all these marginalized multicultural voices, was ahead of her time!
thanks for posting this!
I haven't seen this since it aired in '92!
while I was watching this I was like WTF is MMM doing to that record!?!?!?
Awesome vid man thanks for sharing this! These dudes all look so different now its hilarious.
great upload dynamix3sa. many thanks.
I've seen this when it was aired and did record it on VHS..met Q later in the 90's..
HOLY CLASSIC!! I had this on VHS toooo. someone had to borrow it and it disappeared...
Thanks for this Dave Dynamix. Is that really '92? If so, their whole aesthetic from the scratch to the rhymes has the jump on the whole backpack movement by at least five years.
thank you for posting this
I got more videos coming from back in the day...
Follow me @DaveDynamix at Instagram
It all started with the classic 1200's!
yeah!nice video!
I remember watching that back in the day. Sick
I used to have the FM20 demo tape but it got eaten while I was in the process of recording it to my PC. It was some real aggro heavy metal shit, Paris meets Hijack or something, with way too much scratching. Somebody else must have that. Also someone needs to make a documentary about the golden age of Filipino mullets. Or maybe just about mobile DJ crews, that would have plenty of mullets.
FM20,, LOL!!!
Still got their demo in the tape archive🔥
amazing!!!!
thank u dj dave!!!
1992 was the year i was born this video is sick
loved it!
SIC HEAD OF THEIR TIME, THIS IS SO SIC. RESPECT
Best post ever! BTW Dj Dynamixx! remixes are off the hook!
BRAVO!!!!
this is amazing.... flashback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Balboa high has ALWAYS had talented cats..even in my time, from way back it the 60s-70s and earlier..
True pioneers
🙌🏼
This is HISTORY.

"we wont be coping, but we will be copied." thas fo sho i think crabbing and flarring are a must have for all djs. innovators words . all isp is tight not just Q.
bad ass!
Apollo with the Zulu Beads!!
iam glad somebody said that! everybody thinks flips created everything unders the sun on turntables! the best west coast dj's were in L.A. in the 80's not up in northen cali!
They were Bay Area legends,they did'nt get recognized nationally or internationally, until KNT hook up with Crazy Legs and Rock Steady Crew,then started wreckin' shop all over,then came the DMC fame,they got banned and started I.T.F. Internatinal Turntablist Federation..the rest is history!!
They didn't get banned.
coool!!
notice that these are pre-skipless vinyl
this is one I havent heard fukin nice!!
q... you should start sporting that stache again, son!
damn, that's rare!
Classic
Happy Birthday Dominique Diprima!!!
actually they been around since 83..especially apollo and mixmaster mike,the bay area had alot of dope dj"s why do think "turntablism "started here
@dynamix3sa i seen one , test tone has skip-less properties so...
ty ty ty this is classic stuff! is this before DMC? or after? as u can see here, they have some new tricks that they didnt perform at DMC - that is why they boycotted them!
i want more of mmm scratching with his feet
imagine they are now. maybe he so old right now
1992
haha they all look so young
I call for that number on the end of the video. But nobody respond... :(

"psychedelic hypnotical political"
Yeah I knew a lot of those cats some went into rapping some cats went to jail one of the homey's got killed and the rest just doing they're thang yeah they was sick we use to get busy at hella clubs in Frisco.
Old Sckool..FM20
AWSOME screw this new Turntablist Crap I'm take it back to the old school
I didn t get it: the name of the band in 1992 was Shadow of Prophet or FM20 ? Didn t they also performed at 1992 DMC world under the name of RockSteady Djs? 😵💫
They went by FM20 (Shadow Posse were the MC's), also competed in the DMC teams as the Rock Steady Crew DJs and better known today as ISP = Invisibl Skratch Piklz
They gave up the bodytricks pretty early on.
first turntablist band
bay yayrea turntablists FTW
dj disk and babu both try to claim the word
all good got some good band dj vids on my page check it out but this is early days and all good
Hah, is that phone number still good?
I wanna say "what's up?" to Qbert
mike's had a few burgers since then.
pinoysssssssssssss
is dayebid der?
weren t they known as Rocksteady djs back in 1992?
they got the name Rock Steady DJs from Crazy Leggs after the RSC anniversary in summer 92, this Home Turf show was before that.
better than the dj's in the Philippines (DJ SIR SCRATCH AND DJ M.O.D)
skrillex is a button pusher i never even seen him touch a record
ja jebie:P
This gave birth to Skrillex O.o
3:08 I'll fuck up my needle if I EVER tried that shit. SMH!
