Came here after watching Skillz's winning set 2019. Twenty years on this set makes it look like turntablism has gone backwards. Guess Craze set the bar too high...

[@giulioarti4852]

Yes well craze was well ahead of the times

[@PhilthAdelphiA]

Shut the fuck up and go follow your damn boat. Everybody complains so fucking much yet they don’t do shit.

[@its_me_dave]

My advice: don’t drink the water

[@kurt2161984]

Love The Lord finesse samples

[@djorig]

He was always ahead of the curve

[@andysanger4606]

1998-2001 were the best years of DMC turntablism, hands down.

[@yzzyxnetwork]

No way you can leave out Kentaro's 2002 set tho

[@drucee867]

@@yzzyxnetwork Yes the last great year and I was there a year later haha

[@jasonhardy4207]

First time I seen this, just unreal!

[@YodaOnDMT]

You need to upload that showcase routine he did in the UK. I think it was 1997. He dropped pure sickness with Dance to the Drummers Beat. +DMC World

[@Jolynenizuma22]

Anthony why are you being rude to non descript when he didn’t say nothing rude

[@bobo42024]

Holy fuck. He kills it with such style & finesse.

Light years ahead of the competition.

[@musicislife2000]

NO SERATO JUST SKILL OG STYLE GOAT

[@musicislife2000]

@JoJo killz 3000 I think you're missing my point I was referring to the new gen djs of today where this guys was coming from and yes serato wasn't invented back then

[@sk8mysterion]

Back when it was a turntablism competition

Now it’s an Xbox controller button mash fest

Just push up sound fake

Saw somebody recommending this under a DMC Final from 2017. Damn, thats sooo much cooler

[@DarrinJackson76]

All 100% Fire!

[@Juanjuke6342]

If you watch the whole contest, a lot of dj's could have won that awesome year : DJ Craze : unbeatable, DJ Crazy B : original turntables disposition and very very close but always second... dj Akakabe : amazing technic and fast moves, dj Dexta from The Avalanches group : amazing choice of music and technic, DJ A Trak : young and true djing talent, DJ Static and DJ Jay K : the most groovy and funky, old School routine ! DJ Mouss : scratch power and great arabic melody, Prime cuts : good technic and nice sound choice, DJ Kollasso : awesome scratching technic and nice music groove, Dj Coki : friendly and funny. Too hard for the juges :) small exception : DJ Lil'Jaz : boring and disappointing...

[@PickpocketJones]

Not sure how anyone thinks Crazy B was close.

[@Juanjuke6342]

@@PickpocketJones he was second several times in the dmc final, so yes he was very close to win at least 1 title ! Especially in 1997...

[@stephensiddal5639]

It’s the seamlessness and rhythmic ability of craze that’s set him apart

[@Shedi1210]

You posting this comment on every video of that years dmc? Needing some likes are we darling?

[@DarioMontenegroCruz]

Please fix the sync AV. This is a masterpiece DJ showcase

[@mastersherato3354]

Does anyone know the history of the logo that is on your shirt? The dj Afro mixing on his turntable?

[@yourlastfoe]

I remember being 13 years old seeing this and then his '99 set (masterpiece) and was like 'ummmm, I guess Craze will forever hold the crown". I just cant see ANY of todays (so called) "DJ's" coming anywhere near this level even on digital/traktor/serato/custom vinyl ETC. I do have to give D-Styles some cred though, he fucking RIPPED it in L.A on digital vinyl a couple years back when I saw him live. It was damn near (if not equal to) Craze's '99 level.

[@meanmug2206]

What is the song called that is mixed with Big L? Sounds like a jadakiss/Ruff Ryders beat.

[@bonovidal2867]

Anyone knows the track 0:42 dopness...

[@dfksjiovcklxnlk]

Canibus - Get Retarded

[@djfastt]

this was weak compared to the usa finals set .. im suprised he won here .. still the goat but it suprised me :/

[@aligalaxy77]

Dj crazy b was better

[@2spee]

Crazy B was talented, but not the same ability and confidence. Another level.

[@zemisterfonky]

Crazy b...manque de confiance. Dailleurs durant son set ses mains tremble....

[@evilskwerl]

10 people can’t “DJ” without iOS 12

[@wallacehardiniii9038]

Knowing all these records and samples, this is so complicated and displays a true talent. I can watch this 100 times over. I might have already watched it that many times.

[@richardlinck1207]

What is the record that comes in at 0.56?

[@wallacehardiniii9038]

@@richardlinck1207 that's Art of Noise - Beat Box. So good. But the crazy part is he juggles that with a kick/snare sample and makes it sound like one piece. SMH.

[@djimma5080]

Yeah this is weakest winning set

[@nikku1166]

right! thought the wrong year was listed for a second. other set is fucking gold.

[@aharonloft6944]

Sorry for saying that but KANTARO's set à feu years latter has arguably been the best set ever

[@swiftnevisonbushwrangler6905]

Don’t know why anyone else even bothered to enter the competition

@@scipreme was always led to believe it was 1200s for the pros and 1210s for show :-)

good but could have had better intro I liked a-track set from 1998 better

[@RaddNiner]

2:00 starts laying down dubstep grooves... in 1998
