DJ Jazzy Jeff Live 2011 4th July

[@CainaanDC]

The greatest dj to touch a turntable

[@SPiNFactory2000]

Goosebumps. And he did it at home. Flawless

[@joefresh82]

1988 seen him and Fresh Prince. I was stationed in Tokyo. I ran to base. Took my E-2 check. All 430 dollars and bought 1 turntable and 1 mixer. I was hooked after seeing Jeff scratch Rock the Bells. Absolutely mind boggling to watch him create a beat/song with a scratch

[@jkarnold100]

Seeing The Roots and Jazzy Jeff at the same time would be amazing

[@GunnyPhillips]

A DJ finally getting the respect of a true musical craftsman. As a former DJ I'm beyond words! Jeff is amazing and a great representative of the culture.

[@user-ft3ot3yt1u]

As a Pro Dj from back n tha day for many years Ive always looked up to Jeff.. You Betta Believe it!

[@patrickquinn7813]

well said sir

[@edwardhill1279]

The debate of who the greatest MC of all time rages on we may never know..however the greatest DJ of all time is hands down DJ Jazzy Jeff

[@keithwells7251]

True Indeed

[@gman103]

Oh my This is the person who inspired me to be a DJ... Jazzy Jeff😁

[@DScottonKissFm]

One of the greatest things about Jeff is that he's still humble and grounded. The fame has not gotten to him. As of my respect could get any higher for the man, knowing he's good people puts my respect through the roof. This is what being a DJ is all about. Jeff is a legend!

[@andre7250]

Great summation!!!🎉🎉

[@kamikazei]

The way the Roots band members just stare in awe of Jeff's skills says it all. Man Jazzy is the GOAT! Someone put my DJ in some bubblewrap!! Just a sick set...

[@parabellum5503]

What's really amazing is you know they have seen this before but they stil watching like .....dammmmn.

[@vdubb20]

That man a straight up DAWG. Murdered the tables. They don't do it like this anymore.

[@djpep1855]

He still does it...

[@nuggz22]

Thats why hes the best dj in the world. 🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥

[@priyonjoni]

Until you tried to do this routine, you won't appreciate the amount of physical stamina it takes to do it for as long he did. It really strains your arms.

[@kdad64]

I'm sure he can crush cans of spinach like Popeye

[@edski8536]

wow

[@bigrippp]

Real talk

[@djterrorist4819]

Jazzy Jeff is the goat 🐐

[@djpep1855]

And how much practice it takes...

[@SASS007]

The musicians was like Daaaaaam Jeff!

[@hottrakz]

GOAT

[@tycamtyson]

Am always amazed

[@daboss88100]

"The Truth...The WHOLE Truth...and nothing BUT THE TRUTH!!!" --DJ Jazzy Jeff Townes

[@robertblackshear8963]

This man know he can throw down. He something serious.

[@ronaldwilliams1567]

That's what you call making the turntables talk.

[@edwarroberson7034]

He make it say what he want it to say when he want it to say it!🐐

[@dee4hunteradventure899]

Damn!!!! Bad ass! DJ Jazzy Jeff 🔥🔥🔥

[@paulsantoso1139]

Been following The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff from his 1st Album... He's the DJ, I'm The Rapper with Fresh Prince. Jeff is the best Turntable Scratch DJ of all time. He's scratch is amazing !!

[@jyoungswag]

Amazing! Straight up amazing, DJ Jazzy Jeff has so much talent!

[@marcdennis4698]

This cutting is clean

[@earnestdelainejr.6443]

G'damn that DJ made my day!

[@str8upndown856]

I remember watching this on tv and standing in front of the tv in complete awe.. with the same look and expression on my face the same way Capt. Kirk looked. Never seen a DJ flawlessly cut a routine like that. Much love to Jazzy Jeff

[@thebub716]

I've seen DJ Jazzy Jeff throw down a countless number of DJ sets over the years, I've watched his LL Cool J and Run DMC routine like it's my homework...Every time I watch him, his timing and the finesse in how he juggles "Peter Piper," is still mind blowing to me. This is decades of practice and experience that it takes to become the incredible performer that he is today. It's delayed gratification in my opinion, I think that in todays world, that is forgotten.

[@khalilgriffin3870]

From 2:30 to 2:50 he straight killed it. Tha best dj ever, hats off to jazz

[@terrencegriffin6812]

THEREITIS!!!

[@RomseyCC]

This man is quite simply the greatest scratch-DJ in hustory. Will Smith knew that. Yet Jeff is such a humble man. A total genius

[@DjSC80]

My lawd... again.. every time I watch this I get goose bumps

[@angelcolon8]

[@bigkuntry112]

He literally has a laptop in front of him. He's using the Rane one turntables

[@sharonrouse7658]

Magnificent Jazzy Jeff

[@davidloman7474]

That was great! You don't hear cuttin and scratching like that no more. That transformer when he made his own beat was incredible!

[@FreshtexBlackman]

My God he's so good...brought tears to my eyes!!!

[@gregorysaygon7907]

I am a Priest ORDAINED in the priesthood. DJ Jazzy Jeff is one of my favorite DJs of all time. When I see him perform, he just gives me inspiration and makes me feel like I could do anything that I put my hands to. Anyone who thinks that DJ Jazzy Jeff has lost his touch, just watch this video. Thank you and may God show you favor and shower you with blessings. Amen. Cheers. Gregory Saygon from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.🙏🏽😄😄😁😀😁❤🎧✌🏾👌🏾👍🏾😎🙏🏽

[@brianposley9888]

Dj Jazzy Jeff was and still is the best one to ever do it!!

[@sharonrouse7658]

[@oneen75pure]

[@TheSUPADON]

The best dj n the universe! This guy skill is beyond my explanation 4 real. Quality skills!

[@darthtortugas]

Now you know why it was DJ Jazzy Jeff AND the fresh prince.

[@meierb75]

I was there live in Philly for this concert and when DJ Jazzy Jeff starting spinning people in the crowd started getting amped. This was cool for me, because I wore out four of his cds in the 90s into the 2000s. The whole show was spectacular, but this bit was particularly special to me.

[@DJBoboGH]

Respect to the greatest DJ alive. He is a great source of inspiration to me.

[@turn1210]

Jeff is the only dj now who is truly old skool, he never ceases to amaze me with his timing and skills.

[@chowoods]

Yes I was there. The Greatest DJ EVER

[@idrisholly9332]

I was there in that crowd it was tears & Goosebumps

[@sereroserera367]

Who are these two MC’s, please ?

[@lukascalvert6484]

I want those sunglasses

[@stevealston5153]

Hand and eye coordination off the chain

[@aliahspirituality]

my goodness!! Jazzy is the MANNN! wish he got more props

[@MrFerrer1245]

I was there that night. He is probably the best DJ to ever do it. FLAWLESS SET!

[@mellowdramatic33]

An absolute master of his craft.

[@treallen1471]

Nah that slow it down Jeff was the best part

[@thefunkiestfunk2220]

GENIUS ON THE WHEELS

[@priyonjoni]

Some people don't realize this, but the fact he kept his cuts clean, in all that heat and humidity, with your hands sweating harder than you would be indoors, with a great risk of mechanical failure or at least inconsistencies....and still sounding as clean as he always does the routine...LEGENDARY!

[@andre7250]

HES THE BEST

[@pamelajones3053]

DJ Jazzy Jeff. Love this old school scratching music here. He's one of the legends.🎧🎶🎶🎶🎶❤❤

[@DJGeeGee]

Oh my gosh......... He merked it. Mad talent and so inspirational.

[@LUILUU1]

DJ JAZZY JEFF IS DEFINITELY MY FAVORITE DJ I LOVE IT WHEN HE TRANSFORMS !!!!!

[@michaelanderson9076]

Jazzy Jeff definitely has to go down as the greatest DJ of all time ❤

[@JeffG65]

Kid Capri fumbles every time he gets on stage at one of these shows. It's his "signature" move... the he gets on the mic, hypes the crowd and they forget all about it.. his other "signature" move. But he is still a true legend in my book... A better line up would be. Jazzy Jeff, Cash Money, Flash and DJ Spinna

[@Xolanidj]

Jazzy Jeff & The Roots together? Man, I would've been in heaven at that show!

[@idrisholly9332]

I was there... U OMG the vibe ...i miss home i miss that year etc.. Philly aint Philly now...😞

[@vernonjohnson997]

jeff is the absolute best scratching and mixing dj period in hip-hop/rap ever

[@DONMASON45]

the Roots who Jeff put out there and seen him at his best is still impressed... guitar player, quest love is paying close attention,... so am i.

[@zykirabarnes4104]

o

[@dasdreher1991]

Never gets old

[@AlejandroFernandez-ml1kp]

THIS IS A REAL DJ ....

[@seraphimprince]

He is one of the greats. Name-dropped by Flash himself.

[@boerandemo7766]

He is definitely a god! See everyone there literally worshipping his art. I bow too.

[@edski8536]

East Coast.

[@esorkinc]

The best that ever did it. My icon and mentor

[@nphillybul-215]

i see he still got it

[@kevinhall9034]

Top 5

[@salaam4771]

This is the one of the elements of true hiphop THE DJ with a legend performing it. Skills is not necessarily needed but Skills provides a certain voice rhythm for Jeff so when Jeff gets a little tired or needs to be on point Skills can assist him until he catches his wind.

[@deejayb72]

So here it is when we all hear this the emotion that we feel is overwhelming! This is the true essence of hip hop with a legend throwing down the 2 nastiest battle mixes of all times. Am I wrong to say that we feel no different then those that heard a Mozart peice and then hear an artist that is talented enough to re-create their work (not in a studio) and be blow away!? As I watch this video there are plenty in the audience that have no clue to the pure genius that they are witnessing!

[@djmondo3]

That set was AWESOME!!! This is what it sounds like when you Master Your Craft.

[@Klassykvn]

The BEST EVER!!! Hands down!

[@orondehorsey3687]

The very best TURNTABLIST since the first time I heard him in '84/'85. Jeff was then and still is shockingly down to earth and humble. Love how he pulls up people like Philly's great DJ Spinbad, DJ Cash Money and he even knew what the amazing female MC Spicy T was doing when I asked him (late 90's). Would love to hear her now!!

[@lachlanfraser3147]

2011 and still better than any Dj in 2022

[@TheBeatdownBros]

damn I had the chills watching this. I was proud of him like he was my damn son! Im just old school and proud to be!

[@acampbell2662]

THIS NEVER GETS OLD. TRULY MAGNIFICENT

[@jamalswann7786]

man stop it jeff they still aint ready , ur the jimi Hendrix of dj world u was doing things no one ever heard of 40 years ago

[@JamalZhang]

[@shubulaka27]

[@jimmy_spliff_fiyah]
