DJ Cash Money - MC Cool Breeze - DJ Jazzy Jeff 84 or 85?

Digging threw my old tapes decided to put a few of these up before they go back into storage.
Recorded at Central HS in Philly You'll hear later in the tape Jeff joins Cash for the Twins of Spin transforming back & forth.
Also remember these recordings are almost 30yrs old!! Older than some of you on here listening lol

[@shawnnmartin7565]

I was there that night at Central H.S. Philadelphia. We didn't even know what a Transformer scratch was yet. They were doing this on 1200 Technique turntables..before computers..when you had to change your record mid-scratch..two of the best ever to do it..!

[@GreybeardSD]

Feb 2, 2022 and WOW!!! I CANT REMEMBER HOW I CAME TO HAVE THIS VERY RECORDING ON TAPE BACK IN 86 BUT I ROCKED IT EVERYDAY AND WOULDN'T LET ANYBODY HOLD IT UNTIL I LET A BUDDY OF MINE USE IT. TAPE POPPED ON HIM AND GOT ALL JAMMED UP IN HIS CAR TAPE PLAYER. THOUGHT ID NEVER HEAR IT AGAIN. WOW, THANK YOU.

[@JKWIK215]

I was at this party Feb 14, 1986 Central High School. It was a closed party for them & Girl's High. I left St. Joe's Prep, caught the subway & we waited until 7:30 to get snuck in. Little did I know HISTORY was going to be made that night!!! Jazzy Jeff & Cash Money unveiled the TRANSFORMER scratch!!! When we first heard it was like WTF WAS THAT?! We all stopped dancing and ran to see what was going on!!! Optimus Prime Cash Money & Omega Jeff!!!

[@anthonym715]

WOWWW!! That's what's up!!

[@OH.A.M.]

Original recordings from back in the day can't never be duplicate in this days by no Dj out there.This is how I remember the mixes. The scratching is sick. Best mix I have heard on you tube. Thanks!

[@djcorleonedk]

Amazing.. They are true legends.. Many DJ´s cant even mix like that today even with Serano and so on..

[@gaffle-411]

Jazzy Jeff ran that same "Drummers Beat" "Buggin" routine at that legendary Live at Union Square concert.

[@jamesbarksdale1848]

This is why Jeff needed an MC. Breeze was the MC for Cash Money. Before Parents don't understand or Girls of the world aint nuthin but trouble. Jeff and Cash used to got to WAR. These are legendary DJ Battles

[@TrapHouseMidwest]

+James Barksdale SAY IT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!

[@bobyjohnson5718]

JEFF USED TO ROCK WIT A BUL NAME MC ICE

[@MSkiMusic]

Jeff used to rock with Cool Breeze Steve I thought. Maybe I'm wrong. I recall him being on an old Jazzy Jeff mixtape that I had from 85 from a show they did in Jersey with Schoolly D.

[@CGY-]

I miss these days I wish old school was back. This is how old school block parties used to get down and partying at the parks back in the day especially Belmont Plat. Lee Rec Center, The bottom West Philly all day.

Word up JKWINK215! I wasn't at this jawn, but being from Cash's neck of the woods (Yeadon-Lansdowne) we were blessed to receive a test run to Pee-wee Herman. Wow these are legends on the turntables! TAT Money, You're another one, what's good!!!

[@ralphthedj3344]

What Jeff and Cash have is what guitar players call "tone". Meaning unlike today's so called "turntablist, they have truly unique sound.

[@WaxDat8800]

That is exactly the right way to describe it.

[@maccagrabme]

They are both exciting to listen to and unpredictable, its not your painting by numbers style of scratching, both very musical scratchers and jugglers. Even this decades old mix gets you on the edge of your seat and is still jaw droppingly advanced to this day, I can listen to the whole thing over and over and not get bored whereas I zone out of a lot of these modern DJ routines as they have a certain format to them which is pre-planned and although technical, not as impressive in many ways as there is no real identity to it and yet the DJ equipment back then was pre-historic compared to now, if they had the kit available now back then it would have been the end of any major progression in the artform.

Incredible how this duo was similar to Dj jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. Must have been a Philly thing.

[@dalowlivz]

This was from a Central High School party. I have the same tape I recorded from there.

[@DJLeggs401]

What's up my brother, you have this whole tape? Would love to hear it, I collect a lot of hip hop live recordings, and have digitized probably 90% of my collection, if you would like to trade I have a lot of dope old school live gems. I have probably at least 90 tapes. If you would like to trade this one for something else let me know what's up.. peace and blessings. In the meanwhile I have a little blog website where I have uploaded some of the more rare hard to get rap records all from my personal collection, and live tapes too.. check it out.

Please keep the philly party rappin dj scene alive ,I was apart of it with my group and I refuse to let it die ,it was good times

[@maskedavenger2621]

What group was yours bro?

[@deejaysoundsgood]

I was there in nyc back in 85 i was only 7 years old, it was late at night and I was hearing this Tune playing and all that racked with some type of djs doing scratches and cuts like crazy, i couldn't figure it out what was going on back then. then over 30 years ago i think this is it!

[@pk7ghalm23]

Same type story. I use to record dj red alert on a boom box lol. 98.7 kiss fm was the shit!!!!!

[@GeneralTarik]

Dope! Used to have this tape! Always wondered what happened to Cool Breeze Steve! He does his infamous non PC rhyme that would get him in a lot of trouble today. LOL

[@vissysoundkiller]

I got a battle between Jeff, Cash, and Grandmaster Vic from 83, I think. I had the cassette and transferred it to CD! Hip hop before years before Jeff and Cash even had a joint out, just young cats killin the wheels of steel

[@gaffle-411]

vissysoundkiller I had that same one. It was Jeff vs GM Vic only. Dude called him "Vic the d!ck" as I recall. Jeff cut up that "I am the Magnificent" over Jive 122. I hate I mistakenly erase over that cassette!

[@69cateyes]

Share please... My tapes got jacked by my cousin in So.Philly.. I kept one and rocked it in Dade City,Fl and they went crazy!!!!

[@mello_ghostt]

Jeff had did tapes with many MCs around Philly. I remember he did a tape with "The Cazel Boys"

[@mello_ghostt]

@@gaffle-411 that was the tape when jeff got asked, "how many Djs tried to battle him?" and he scratched 19 and then got asked "how many defeated or can get with you?" then he scratched "None of them." the place went crazy...

[@vissysoundkiller]

@@gaffle-411 Yo, thats the one. Cause on of the MC was like 'ya moms got tittys like this fuckin long(that might have been MC Marvelous cause I THINK he was there, Fresh Prince was not there and Jazzy was not w/ him yet . K Jazzy cut the shit out those joints. One of them was cuttin up the Fat Boys 'Stick Em'. They had the long musical intros to each DJ too, crazy! This is why I always give props to Philly because they were major players in hip hop early on too.

[@nupe357]

dalowlivz is right. This was recorded at my high school (Central High School). How do I know? 'Cause I was there....:) CHS 247!!

[@vancegreen1016]

Where's the other one and when did Jeff get on? Maybe you can settle the quarrel over who "bit" who's Transformer scratch. Did Cash create that Let's Dance transformer Jeff used on He's the DJ I'm The Rapper?

[@nupe357]

***** Not sure that I can definitively end the debate but I heard Jeff use the Transformer scratch while cutting "Let's Dance" at Central High in 1985. I'm sure it's 1985 because I transferred to Central in 1985 as a sophomore and that's when I started going to their parties. Personally, I think that Jeff created it but I really can't prove it...:-)

[@vancegreen1016]

Good enough for me. Do you happen to have any more tapes to share?

[@box5bastard277]

Great moment for you my equal yell

[@shahidakbar8000]

No lie. But damn they were some dangerous times. Didn't think I'd make it out of those years in Philly. So many good times though.

[@damonrichardson8329]

Did anybody notice the similarities of cash transforming let's dance on this tape in 85 and jeff doing it on live at union Square in 88 I think it's time for jeff to tell the dj community where he got some of his dj style from .

[@machiventa858]

jeff and prince union square show was 86, and so was this party. they were friends and rivalries and learned techniques from each other and from philly's spinbad who is also credited as the originator of the transformer.

[@damonrichardson8329]

That's not the case I love jazzy to death but he was learning from cash cash showed him how to triple up on its time and do the one table breakdowns on rock the bells

[@nupe357]

Does anyone remember the big rap battle at Central High where the guy who won pulled out the GIANT condom?? Can't remember his MC name but his real name was Vincent Jason. He went to Central High with me and was a few years ahead in school (I think he ended up going to Delaware State). Would love to get a copy of that tape!!

WE WAS SPOILED IN PHILLY WITH THE WHOLE DJ, MC, HIP HOP CULTURE BACK IN THE DAY. I didnt know we was the best until I left Philly and went to other cities and seen how far behind they were. I rushed back home for the real thing. Wagners Ballroom, Hotel Phila., The Arena, Kim Graves, After Midnight, Circus City, Wynn Plaza, and so many more spots that we partied hard at. Even dudes and groups from New York came to Philly and was blown away by our flow. We always had battles with Philly vs New York. They would some times win the MC battle but NEVER, and I mean NEVER win a DJ battle.

[@Ckillen2422]

Jeff was way cleaner...

[@GregoryGioia]

This definitely isn't 1984 or 1985. Many commenters are saying this was 1986, but if so, why does Cash Money sound so much more advanced here than he did in 1988? Watch his performance in England at the DMC Finals, which he won, in 1988. He clearly was showing his best stuff-- he was battling for the world title, after all-- but he's not doing any of the advanced stuff on this tape. Also, his scratching is far crisper and cleaner and more practiced-sounding here than in 1988. If this really is 1986, how can this be explained?

[@bobyjohnson5718]

BY 88 HE WAS WITH MC MARVELOUS BOUT 2 DROP UGLY PEOPLE PLEASE BE QUITE. PLUS BY 88 THE TRANSFORMER SCRATCH WAS NOT A BIG DEAL PHILLY KNOWS THIS WAS EARLY CASH MONEY & NOBODY RAPPED LIKE THAT IN 88. I SAY THIS IS 84-85

[@damonrichardson8329]

Actually him and Marv already made ugly people be quiet listen to the intro on his winning set so that tape is definitely 84 or 85 they he was doing that scratch around 84

[@maccagrabme]

Think he was having needle skipping issues and the choice of records in this mix are more of a showcase for his skills. He was raw in the mid 80s, scratching to the funk had some amazing rhythmic skills for the time, still not really heard anyone do it better.

[@KasperKatje]

More pressure and the element of the time limit so he had to make choices. And the main part of his final performance was his battle style reaction with "callin' me a sucker" to the "I'm Cash Money' m0therf#cker" diss by All Star Fresh. Look up his set in the semi final, a bit more sloppy but more of his signature scratches.

[@Carloscda40]

Yea I edited that out, not fitting in this present day.

[@djbigchuckx]

I remember a little rap Steve did here called " Kill the Fa*****" I'm not anti-gay, I'm just saying it was on this tape. Perhaps it was better that it was left out.
