Yo, we gotta talk, man. Yo, you got some new stuff, man. I'm hearing new music. What's going on right now before we go back in time?

SPEAKER_11

Well, you know, I come from a generation um EJs were DJs, right? We didn't have an EJ that said, hey, he's a hip-hop DJ, or he's a uh soul DJ, or he is a freestyle DJ or electro DJ. You know, we encompassed the whole DJ, right? Everything was new back then. As a DJ, you played the latest hip-hop, you played the latest electro, you played the latest freestyle, and you know, my man DJ, I don't know if you know Automator or not, but DJ Automator turned me on some records. He was like, dude, you gotta check these out. And I was like, okay, and I'm you know, I'm playing a lot of freestyle, I'm playing a lot of uh dance records, and I'm playing uh a lot of uh electro records, and I was gonna go to this party, and he was like, dude, you got this or this this the newest thing I got in the in the record pool, you gotta check this out. And he gave me Jack Your Body by Steve Seal Curry.

SPEAKER_12

Okay.

SPEAKER_11

And that was the first house record. You know, I I didn't we didn't have a bunch of house records play back to back to back to back. You know, you we're playing a lot of dance music, and you know, we played some house music, didn't think the impact it was gonna have today when you look back as the first record that you played. So, you know, I've been blessed. You know, I played a lot of brand new hip-hop, a lot of test pressing, broke a lot of hip-hop records, did hip-hop mega mixes, did a lot of electro, did a lot of freestyle, played at the biggest clubs with DJ Cameron Paul. You know, I used to open and close for him, and he encompassed the whole plethora, right? He played everything. So when I got that record, and I was, you know, trying to figure out how to put it, because you know, it's a four-on-four disco beat, really.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

You know, for a house record, and um everything else was a freestyle record, which was pretty much um Up Tempo, you know, freestyle beats, you know, the kicks and the snares, one lane on the on the four-on-four.

SPEAKER_15

You got to get creative trying to trying to work it in.

SPEAKER_11

You had you had to get creative to play it in. You almost had to play it with some disco records and stuff like that. Right. So, you know, but it was a blessing, man. I I really, you know, got a chance to uh break that record. I was first to play it on the radio. I played it on Canso L. Amazing back in the day.

SPEAKER_15

Amazing, incredible, incredible, man. Yo, you have you got yo, man, there's a lot of things I want to talk about, man, because you've been DJing for a trillion years for everybody out there. And I say that with the with the with the most level of respect. You know what I'm saying? Um, but I'd like um you've been DJing for a long time. You've had a heavy stamp in radio, so I want to cover that too. But let's go back to the beginning, man. Yo, you started, we we're talking in the 80s, right?

SPEAKER_11

Yep. Probably got my fur my turntables when I graduated. My my mom got me my turntables when I graduated high school. Which was around Yeah, though. It was, you know, because before that, me and my uh my uh homie Big Mac, which was uh another Bay Area legend for uh a rap um, you know, on the rap level, right? Uh it was an NC and everything, but he was a DJ first. Right. So he had you know, he had the mixture, right? He had a realistic mixture. The realistic mixture didn't have crossfades, so it just had, didn't even have a mass or volume. He had volume one, volume two, volume three, volume four, and two of them were like for uh microphone and you know um stuff that did it wasn't, you know, uh records, right? It wasn't uh analog turntables. Because, you know, that volume jumps a little bit when you put it put it, you you can't put it on a line in, you have to put it on a phono in.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

So the other two were line ins and they weren't phono in it. So we're sitting there and he had, you know, we're we were kids in the hood, man. We didn't have that much money. He had one of those uh record players that was like a three-one. You remember those when you know you had the record player on top, then you had a cassette deck and the radio. Yep, yep, yep. All in one box, right? Right and and and the turntable platter wasn't even big enough to sit on a whole record. You know, it was as almost as big as a 45. Right. So we had to put a record on top of that and put a piece of paper in another record. Right, right. And then I had another turntable, I had a Sony turntable, didn't have no pitch control or anything, dude. But that didn't stop us. This is how we learn. Right. That's why the art of mixing to us is so important because we have to mix records and we have to fingers slow it down or fingers speed it up. Yeah. And it had to be close enough where it wasn't, you know, it wasn't like train wrecked.

SPEAKER_15

Of course. Yo, and you you know what, man? It's like, you know, and um, I mean, technology is gonna technology, which is a beautiful thing, but it's like um it's interesting because, you know, like uh, you know, there's things that are built into the controllers now, you know what I mean? Obviously, that you know that that DJs had to do manually back in the days, you know what I'm saying? And and so I so there's there's always a lot of uh a heavy level of respect I have for them. There wasn't no sync up button, you know what I mean? There wasn't a lot of a lot of those things where you just had to go ear to ear to to match something, you know what I mean, in those parties and and and and rocking those joints, man. So big salute out to the the the the old school DJs, the the the turntable DJs, all of them. And and of course, no disrespect to the new ones, but you know, this was you know a lot of these things that that that are built into the the units today were built in because people did them without them being built into units before.

SPEAKER_11

You know what I'm saying? I kind of feel um well, like I said, no disrespect to the young generation or everything, but it's just instead of create, you know, so all this technology is created so you can boost your you know skill boost your production, right? Right, boost, boost everything that you're putting putting out, not to make you a lazy DJ.

SPEAKER_15

Right, right.

SPEAKER_11

You know, you can hit the sync button, but if you're on turntables, man, that shit is gonna wear off real quick. I don't know if I can curse on your show or not.

SPEAKER_15

You're okay. You're okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

I'm okay. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, because if you see, you know, the the digital is another animal all by itself, dude. Analog and other animal. You're not you're varying between, like if you got it on on, you know, you're playing a 128 beat, it's it's varying between 127-9 and 128-1 if you're on a turntable.

SPEAKER_09

Right.

SPEAKER_11

Whereas if you're on if you're on the platters, it's just going straight, you know, digital platters, you're going straight 128, 128. Right. Put it on 128. You don't even need a sync button, dude. Yeah, yeah. 128, 128. Right. Line it up. Line it up. The only thing that does is zipper it up, I guess, when you do it, sync button, dude. Yeah. You'll bounce it back and forth and make sure that they're all hitting at the same time.

SPEAKER_15

Right, right, right. I I I still personally stay away from that button just just because, you know, I I I love the I love the the art of DJing so significantly. And I've been a radio host for a long time, but I didn't get into the DJ side of it until probably the last five years. You know what I mean? So I feel like there's just certain things out of out of respect for the uh for the craft that I just don't do. So I stay off of the sync button, you know what I mean? And um, I'll line up by by by numbers or and and you know, every once in a while the numbers just don't line up, even when they look like they do. You know what I'm saying? Of course they don't work sometimes in in terms of bringing all those numbers up, you know. So um so yeah, you know, um uh you know, a ninja with a sword is gonna do a lot more damage than than a civilian with a gun. So, yeah. So salute to the to the to the real.

SPEAKER_11

Think about it this way. Think think about your musician, you're a guitar player, right? You're doing a guitar solo on sync. Right. And you're doing a guitar solo with feel. Which one sounds better?

SPEAKER_13

Of course, of course, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

You got it, right? You got it, that's it. You you bend records and you you know what I'm saying? It just has a little funk to it that it doesn't have when you're just putting it into a zipper.

Yeah, had that cord in there. You know, nobody had this is before we, you know, even even I guess there was some cordless phones. But you know how anybody you call a cordless phone, they pick up the phone, they're like, hello, wait till I get to the good phone. Hold on.

I never heard anybody say that about our mixes before. You know, it's always the homies, you know, yeah, everybody loves what you're doing, dude. But you know, it's everybody in the garage. They're just hanging out.

SPEAKER_13

SPEAKER_11

Yeah. Yeah. So after that, my man Cameron Paul went from KSOL, they gave him a you know, it's a big shout out to Cameron Paul. He passed away, but uh he went from K KSOL to KMEL, and um there was a slot open. So because I knew him, he was like, You want to do some mixes? Um I was like, sure. He was like, you know, you can do five days a week. I'm like, uh, can't do five days a week, dude. The way I mix, the way I mix, dude, it takes me two, three days for every mix.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, because I gotta sit there, yeah, you gotta edit it.

SPEAKER_11

You know, this is back in the day on real to real.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

You know, it wasn't like nowadays, you know, even later on where kids were like, okay, well, well, I just bring this stack of records and I mix it live on the air, and yeah, that's it. Man, you have to produce that record, you have to put it together, you know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_15

He said he's doing it on real to real. You're not having to slice tapes, are you? I still got some of that.

SPEAKER_11

Okay, okay. Yes, sir. Okay, we got some of that. And um, yeah, a lot of a lot of that stuff, you know, eventually, you know, we started by editing, then eventually the samplers came in, and we started sampling and editing and sampling and editing and mixing on top of the sample. So it all went, you know, year, it got better and better and better and better.

SPEAKER_08

Right.

SPEAKER_11

You know what I'm saying? And then uh I at some point, I think in uh eighty eight or so, I got my hands on a Tascam Real the Real four track. Because you know, they used to have those Task Cam cassette four tracks. Of course. I don't know if you remember those or not.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

And and and and it was just some music over a loud ass hiss. So I used to know exactly who made it all that. Yeah. Yeah. That's exactly and and and I think there's a beat in the background going boom, boom, boom, boom, and then just bleed it out. So you knew who made their mixes on a four-track Pascam cassette that's so funny. Yeah, man. So we I found one and I bought it and I took it home. That changed, that that's how the records came around. The um dope mix volume one and two, I had I was able to, you know, m put it mastermind in and edit it and put it together all on those uh eight on those four-track reels. Okay and and then we just put the you know, I asked my man King Tech, which is another uh super duper.

SPEAKER_15

Super legend.

SPEAKER_11

Super legend, dude, you know, and that that's really a lot of why so my man DJ Joe Quicks, the Latin Soul Brother, used to go, you know, he's younger than us, so he was still in high school when I was on the radio.

SPEAKER_08

Right.

SPEAKER_11

Right? So he would go on um, he would go to school, and you know, I would do two mixes. I would do a Wednesday mix and a Friday mix. Okay because it took me Monday, Tuesday to make the Wednesday mix, and it would take me Wednesday, Thursday to make the Friday mix.

SPEAKER_08

Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_11

Right, and then Saturday, Sunday I'd take, you know, relax, and then I start over again and relax and I start over again so I wouldn't I don't burn out. And then um he would sit in the bus on the way home from school, and he'd be like, Man, the kids are trading your mixes on the bus. That's cool. What do you mean? What do you mean? He said, like, yeah, I got Wednesdays mix, we got Friday's mix, I'll trade you. And I was like, wow, I never thought about that. That's because I always played the brand new hip hop records that nobody else was touching. Right, right. And I'm talking hip-hop records, I'm not talking rap records, I'm talking about hip hop, hip-hop records like Fella Soul.

SPEAKER_13

Yes.

SPEAKER_11

Nobody, you nobody heard EPMD before. Right. I was the first dude to play that. Yeah. So all that stuff was done on my show. And then I would edit it and make it crazy, and people would just eat it up. It was, you know, that that's how I really started on radio. So two mixes a week, and my club, you know, that's when I realized you can, you know, once you blow up on the radio, so that's why all my mixes had to be top notch when I was on the radio. So when people heard it, it would just, you know, I would have a following, and then I could you know, I wasn't getting really paid that much from radio.

SPEAKER_15

Right, right, right. Yeah, it takes it takes some time, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

Not not even time. You just, you know, they pay you, you know, whatever that wage was. It wasn't they weren't paying you what people were charging. But when I go to the club, I can ransom that. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_08

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

Because the following is there. If I you know, and and God knows I went from this club to this club to this club to this club, and within two weeks, I took 50 people into 1,500. Wow. Wow. Okay, okay. Because by the time people realize, oh, princess is over here, oh, princess is over here, oh, princess, and other club dudes uh that own clubs in in the area hated me, man. They would they always send people to shoot out my clubs or stuff like that. That's serious? Yeah, bro. It was it was like because the clubs were empty, because all the people were my joints. Wow, all the parts, you know, and it it's you know, it's funny because you know, uh, I realized um it was probably around 1987, right, and Mantronix was in town, and you know, he a friend of mine used to work for sleeping fresh and sleeping back records.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

And he was the local guy in the bay, and he was a good friend of mine.

SPEAKER_02

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_11

So when when he Mantronix and everybody came down, he always used my turntables on stuff. Okay. Whether it was on, you know, because I had I had these needles that were, you know, everybody used to use those uh 680s and stuff like that, and they used to bounce and you know, and 980s was even worse. So I had these, you know, linear. Do you know what linear turntables is?

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, I'm familiar with them. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, they're like cassette deck. You close them and it just goes across, and the record never lays flat down. It just sits up like a cassette.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, yeah, crazy.

SPEAKER_11

So they have been a minute since I've seen some. Yeah, man, it's been a minute. I had a sharp, but the when I bought my turn tables, the guy didn't have my they didn't have the turntable needle, so he put uh What he did, he jimmied it so I could put it on regular turntables and it wouldn't, you know, it would work.

SPEAKER_08

Okay.

SPEAKER_11

But what was gifted to me was the fact that these needles were a little heavier and they didn't bounce every time you touched the turntable.

SPEAKER_15

Okay. Okay, good. Good. You ain't gotta put no pennies in the back of them, right?

SPEAKER_11

So when he when he was in town, he would always use my turntables with those needles, and he always was like, dude, I buy these needles off you. I'm like, I'm not selling them, dude. How do you think I'm gonna do my DJ, right?

SPEAKER_13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

So we we did this club which was uh famous for dance club for freestyle electric club. It's called City Nights. Okay. And 18 and over, and it was it was just known for that. So all the local DJs that came with the promoter were all playing freestyle and electro records, one after another.

SPEAKER_08

Right.

SPEAKER_11

So I set up my turntable, everybody was using my turntable. I set it up for Matronic, so when he goes on, he can use my turntables and everything.

SPEAKER_08

Okay.

SPEAKER_11

So everybody came on, and then about midnight, it was my turn to go on. He hadn't gone on yet. Okay. Just waiting, he was just waiting for the right time and everything. So the whole night everybody's playing those thing, ding, ding, thing, ding, ding, ding, ling, thing, thing, thing, thing, ding, ding. So I put a record on when I got it got my turn, it was about 1.23 BPM, so it's up tempo, and I'm playing this B-tronic record, which um which which goes and it's an electoral record.

SPEAKER_09

Right.

SPEAKER_11

And then I look up and I see everybody out there, nobody's dancing, right? Everybody's waiting for the show to go on, and they're all like holding the girl and leaning, and everybody's looking at me, oh no, another one of these. You know, you can see in their faces. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was like, you know what? I'm stupid. This is a hip hop show, and I'm playing Freestyle Records, and everybody's waiting for the group to go on.

SPEAKER_08

Right.

SPEAKER_11

So I I turned off the turntable, I put another record on, I had it queued up, I turned off the turntable, and I'm thinking you know, I'm using my fingers to slow it down, and it's going digging digging digging digging digging digging. And everybody thinks somebody pulled the plug, but the system is on because you can hear the record.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah, you can still hear it.

SPEAKER_11

You know what I'm saying? And then and then uh it got to dig a digging digging digging which I played the Rodney Old Joe Cooley record. Okay. Everlasting bass. Yeah, yeah, everybody. The whole crowd screamed, dude. It's the first, you know, I used to go to hip hop clubs and stuff all the time.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

You know, the Pallade the Palladium used to play nothing but, you know, urban music, right? And never, ever in my time had I heard the crowd scream until that night.

SPEAKER_13

Wow.

SPEAKER_11

Wow.

SPEAKER_13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

So that's when it all came to me, you play the right record, people will scream.

SPEAKER_15

Read the room.

SPEAKER_11

You know, after that, you know, it's not DJing and MC, it's two different art forms, you know what I mean? Yeah. DJs, DJs, we didn't crack the mic like they do right now. Everybody say, oh, throw your hands in there, next record. That that wasn't, you know, you play the right record, the crowd will scream. I don't have to artificially inseminate the crowd or anything, dude. Right. It's just playing the right music, the crowd will scream. So I went from, I remember that set like it was yesterday, dude. I played that, I played Boogie Down Bronx by T Lo Rock. Yeah. And then I played J A Y.

SPEAKER_15

T L Rock joint. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

Okay. And then I played Jam Master J. J A Y, all the letters of his name. Yeah. Cutting and scratching all the asses of his game. Putting and scratching all the asses of his game. So check, so check, so, so, so check, so check that the master as he cussed these jam. Cuss these jams. Man, the crowd went nuts. That was the last record I got to play before Mantronic and MCT ran on stage.

SPEAKER_15

Took it. Okay, this is it.

SPEAKER_11

This is the crowd is not gonna get any hopper than this. This is my minute moment right now.

SPEAKER_13

Right, right, right.

SPEAKER_11

So they jumped on there, they grabbed me, and I'm standing on with the MCT. We're doing the WAP. Remember the WAP?

SPEAKER_15

Yes, yes.

SPEAKER_11

I'm giving my angel away, bro.

SPEAKER_15

No, you good, you good. Yo, I promise I was sitting here with my girl earlier today. We was watching old salt and pepper videos, like tramp, and I'm like, oh look, that's the Roger Rabbit right there. You know what I'm saying? So now you're good. You you perfect.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, man. So it was it was that was the beginning of um, you know, making a mark in the industry as the hip hop dude. And then, you know, I was always doing, you know, like I said, I was doing all the clubs for uh with Cameron Paul and stuff like that. Right. Which was the club wasn't uh fitting you know, more than seven, eight hundred people, so that was the max, and we had it packed for a long time. Even when he left, he went to City Nights, which is the club that I was uh DJ with Mantronic. Okay, but I kept that club going for another year, year and a half with no advertising. Wow. Just yeah, just playing, you know, all the dope records, and I remember just playing, you know, when I when your customer came out, I played it, and I remember the dance floor cleared, and I told everybody, I said, Look, I got on the mic, I said, you guys are gonna ask for this record, come next week. Yes. Sure enough, next week I got people line up. I'm like, can you play that your customer record, please? Yes.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah. They want to hear that, yeah.

SPEAKER_11

Yeah, so then I realized that if you mix live, as long as you know you're killing the dance floor, they will trust you to wear off track and play some stuff that's dope.

SPEAKER_09

Right.

SPEAKER_11

They'll trust you for that. So, you know, eventually when I was at KML and stuff like that, that was, you know, hot 1500 D, it would be the lawn outside. By the time everybody got in the club, it would be about midnight.

SPEAKER_08

Okay.

SPEAKER_11

So from midnight to 2 a.m., I'd be hitting them in the head left and right. You couldn't throw a nickel, it would never hit the dance room. Okay, okay, packed out there. Good, good, good. It would just pack. And that's the you know, some some weeks it would be three, four nights, depending on what the holidays were.

SPEAKER_08

Right.

SPEAKER_11

You know, but you know, Monday, uh, I'm sorry, Fridays and Saturdays were always packed.

SPEAKER_15

Incredible.

SPEAKER_11

So, and then if you had a three-day weekend, then Sundays would be packed. And you know, if you some you know, you would have a Thanksgiving, then it'd be four nights. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_15

Right. Right. It'd be crazy. Incredible, incredible. Yo, for everybody late to class, we in the building with DJ Prince Ice, you know what I'm saying? Veteran DJ Super Just like that. Right, right, right. We gotta throw it in. Yo, so so this is beautiful, man. So check this out. Every time I get somebody on the show, I got this segment up called. I got a bustom segment right now. So you know the word scenario. So here we go, yo. Peep this, there you go. Just like that. So peep this, man. This is your scenario. So, you know, they they they come to you and they like ice. Look, we want you to put together, we want you to put together a show, you know, and um we're gonna give you a budget to put some DJs on the show. You know, you can pick whoever you want to put on this joint, you know what I mean? And um, you know, they give you a budget, and your budget can cover about five DJs. Which five DJs you gonna put on this show? It's in Vegas. You want them to rock. It's gonna be a beautiful crowd. Which five DJs are you picking for the show?

SPEAKER_11

Well, my favorite DJ of all time is probably uh cash money. Okay, okay. Got it. And uh cash money would definitely be on top of my list. Uh I would definitely put uh Jazzy Jeff. Yeah. Um you know, I would definitely um DJ Scratch. Okay, okay, okay. You know, because he I'm telling you, man, I've I've done some stuff with these kids. I've you know, uh fresh in sleeping bag, man. I've always been around with all these dudes. When he first became their DJ, I was rocking on the house system, uh-huh, and he was sitting there on the stage, dude, and he was playing, he was scratching its time.

SPEAKER_08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

All you know, I'm talking about juggling it on beat over the music that I was playing in the house system. Wow. It was in it was incredible, dude. So forever I I'm like, wow.

SPEAKER_08

Okay.

SPEAKER_11

That you know, so that's three dudes. Um, I'm probably gonna use uh DJ Melody. Melody is awesome, dude. He's he just he he's on some other level. And probably um for that reason, I'm probably gonna choose DJ Revolution because he's another dude that just crazy metronomes. Okay. Crazy dude. Okay. And he he's awesome, dude. That's one of my favorite dudes.

SPEAKER_15

Okay, excellent. Melody Scratch, uh, Revolution. Um, golly, I forgot the other Jazzy Jeff's. You know, it's so funny. I got a couple friends from Philly that's on my team, that's on our radio team. And it's like every time I hear Jazzy Jeff's name mentioned, they mention him like he's a Jedi knight. Like a Jedi Master DJ. You know what I'm saying? I think that's so interesting. Like my introduction to Jazzy Jeff, of course, is gonna be, you know, uh fresh. Yeah, parents just don't understand. You know what I'm saying? So, but um, but it's so interesting for the people that actually did work with them. They really do describe it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_11

Before I ever heard Jazzy Jeff I had a mixtape from Cash Money. Okay. Cash Money was on sleeping bag, and you know, all the ugly people be quiet. Remember that record? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so he made a mixtape for Mantronic when he was on that label.

SPEAKER_08

Okay.

SPEAKER_11

Before he broke, you know, before he made the record. Right. So I got Mantronic gave me that mixtape I had never heard transforming before. And it wasn't, you know, it was years later that I heard Jazzy Jeff transformed. So the first dude I ever heard transform was Cash Money.

SPEAKER_13

Okay, got you.

SPEAKER_11

Gotcha. And you know, it and and and those mixers, man, they're not as forgiving as people, you know. No days cheat tape, right? Right. Every every you you just gotta move that crossfade probably about a centimeter to hear the sound, right? Right. Back then you had to pretty much move it to the middle of the crossfade to hear the whole record. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yep. Yeah, it definitely had a different swing to it than it does today.

SPEAKER_15

Yeah, them faders were like a lot less forgiving back then.

SPEAKER_11

Crazy, man. Definitely. That's that that's my scenario. That's incredible, man. If you were to do a different kind of party, you know, I would have to hire some different kind of DJs.

SPEAKER_15

Right, right, right. I I I think the ones you selected should cover you for this uh for this situation, you know what I mean? Yo, I gotta, man, yo, thank you for taking time out your schedule to come over and rock with us here on Radio Super. You know what I'm saying? Uh, I know you're doing some music, man.
