I'm 54 and thought I was getting tired of it until I saw this. I had to send this video to 10 people!!! That's nothing but skill and protein powder right there!!!!
@@djrobswift When you do the routine at 10:08 you should hook up a smoke machine where it looks like the turntables are smoking.. similar to Ace Frehleys guitar from KISS.. that would be sick!!
This dude is one of the originators of the art. You young lazy dudes take notes. This brother put that work in through the years and very well deserve this recognition ! Thanks Rob for your contributions to hip hop !
Honestly the best one here. The rest, while good, were playing club/radio sets. Rob was deconstructing/rebuilding. Recognize the difference between a Picasso and a paint by numbers.
Rob Swift Rob, I thought about what to say. Thanks for showing us what's possible. Your musicianship invites a reinvestigation of how to find the music between the music. How to take something and flip it into something else. Your energy will be reverberating through the universe for a LONG time. Thanks for opening minds.
Even though the Biz Markie routine is like 23 or 24 years old, I will never get tired of hearing it! Big up to Rob Swift, Mista Sinista, and the late, great Roc Raida!!
Old dmc routine but it never gets old. I've seen him do the beginnining of his set back in the early 90's. Salute to Rob Swift R.I.P. ROC RAIDER. XMEN!!!!!
@ThePeppe0000 The first record he used was a old break beat Fred Wesley and the J.B.'s Blow your head, the lady's and gentleman record was The Bridge by Mc Shan and the 3rd record was No Body Beats The Biz by Bizmarkie......
That was the lesson of where hard work and practice pays off. Rob Swift just shows up and plays with his toys first and then everyone else says "Fuck it, I'm taking my toys and throwing them away and giving up"
@@djrobswift my cousin found the album built from scratch on the ground way back in the day and gave it to me changed my life. On premiers execution I rem the part where the cut was like His hands scratching faster than your 👀 can see
In the 80's, when Rakim, KRS-1 and Naughty By Nature, Salt and Peper and other like minded Dj Premier, GangStar, and course Run DMC killed in New York. Legendary in the making right here. Rob Swift is toooo nice.
jesus lord almighty so fucking fire... i still cant believe he taught me how to spin. really can't.. i aint even good, but i was so lucky. and its about turntablism but it was actually so much more than that. MUSIC, GROOVE, timing, STYLE, feeling... my jaw dropped everytime he touched them turntables. everytime. rob taught HIPHOP in such a fashion, it burned its way right into my soul thank you rob for this sesh and i also thank the universe for meeting this man and seeing him CUT THEM RECORDS right in front of my eyes
The real way it’s done !.....a lost art form nowadays....👌I use to hang at Mista Sinista’s house in E. Elmhurst and watch him and Rob tear it up for hours...Miss those days...✌️
I was privileged to first witness Rob divert that astounding Biz routine @ The Den of Thieves in '95! It'll never get played or old cause that funky illness is beyond gold!!!
No disrespect to the others who went, but this has been the best so far. I remember seeing the whole executioners rock a show in show in Manhattan with Common when he was signed to Good Music. Props Rob Swift. This was hard.
I follow you on the gram. What you are doing in training the next generation of DJs is amazing. Love your work and your contribution to the culture. Salute my brother.
Got to give Flex props on this series he's doing. The scram jones one was dope and Rob of course is a true master at the art. Glad to see Flex give respect where respect is due. X-men rule. RIP Roc Raida
@@djrobswift hey man, I eased off B-boying after 17 years recently and transitioned into spinning, all vinyl and mainly early 90's boom bap and been watching a lot of your stuff 😁
that rock the bells routine was the one that rock Raider used to do may he rest in peace it was a tribute to him God bless him in heaven best DJ that ever touched a record shout out to all the X-Men the whole gang Rottweiler Rock Raider rest in peace
Legend! DJ Rob Swift! Xecutioners! Legends! DJ Grandmaster Roc Raida! Legend! Rest In Paradise! For the 49 who dislike this, get that out of your mouth before you swallow the babies! Much respect from the StL!
Yo I am 41 and based off this I'm going to find some second hand decks and practice day and night- try to get to 30% of this skill...thank you for inspiration...mid life crisis itch I now have to scrach (pun intended!!) - Great video
Godamn!! I'm 45 yrs old and never get tired of seeing this kind of skill showcased. God bless bruh!! Amazing!!!
God bless my dude! Thanks for the kind words.

His name is Swift for a reason. One of the very best still in the game!!!

#RobSwift is what Bruce Lee would look like if Kung Fu was Hip Hop, straight up. Peace to the God!!
RESPECT
It is kung fu!
In China, it refers to any study, learning, or practice that requires patience, energy, and time to complete.
