DJ P - 1999 DMC USA Championships

[@bwhereyouat]

This shit will forever have me nodding my head and smiling hard af. Amazing routine. Poor P-Trix had to try and warm up next to him too lol Need to find my VHS copy of this asap.

[@commentatingillustrating6165]

Danny is one of the pure examples of a hip-hop dj! His roots in Missouri gave him a masterful knowledge of all music, not just hip-hop. Dude invented the modern "mash-up"... Years before AM was able to bite and Z-Trip took all the credit!

[@irritablysavvy]

He doesn't get the credit he deserves. That's for sure. Inspired so many of us and continues to do so.

[@YdaAnn]

Dude is amazing. Saw him so many times. The 80s mixes were on point

[@sethbclark]

Him and ztrip teamed up for a few albums after this

[@powderedwaterpudding]

I come back to watch this every few months and will continue to do so until the day I die.

[@pauljones012002]

I do the same my brother

[@daveyj.8266]

Been a fan of his since 1999 watched him in after hours at Springfield Missouri he's the best

[@djmertz]

Said it before... I'll say it again. Get A Job is STILL the hardest diss in hip hop.

[@deejaykriskrush]

remember guys, the M in DMC stands for MIXING

[@BackSpinN]

disco mix club

[@robs9265]

15 year old me was blown away by this. Still am, unforgettable. Unconvential but P knew his music and had heart.

[@pittster57]

Man that must of been the first DMC competition where someone brake danced in the middle of their set. lol

[@western-oud1898]

love it when DJs actually "MIX'..just like how it started in the early 80s "check out the videos of the 1986 DMC world championships"..dj's scratched and mashed/mixed records

[@Levelc]

You actually enjoyed listening to Roman Zerano?

[@TrueyLewis]

I saw this well over a decade ago and was inspired. I basically started djing because of this performance. I always loved djing after I saw Krush Grooves and Juice. THis pushed me

[@djcas69]

Hey P, i know u probably don't remember me, but i remember you!!! You knocked me out of the competition that year with that set in Lawrence, Kansas. You did your thang!!! I remember they didnt allow video cameras at the DMC in Lawrence...too bad cuz when u did it in Lawrence it was a little tighter. This is my first time seeing this video, but i remembered u instantly! This was a good video, but i'm a witness.. the one in Lawrence, was flawless!!! That's why u won. Congrats! Dj CAS. Lawrence, Ks

[@SOLOIIguru]

holy shit, the songs used in this are all great individually, but mashed up like this become an even greater force. Excellent work, thanks for posting!

[@miqsis]

That was mixing back then. It's called mash up, because corporate America has infiltrated hip hop. I mean kids don't even spin vinyl. I'm OLD SKOOL. If you can't spin vinyl, you're not a real dj. Sorry if I offend anyone. But "I represent the real hip hop"

[@DjCode538]

Was a classic seeing it live and a classic on KZbin! Yeeeee yeee!

[@0420Junket]

This guy was a local superstar in the club scene when I was a teenager, when DJ P was spinning ... it was gonna helluva night

[@jsheldon7320]

Still is!

[@0420Junket]

J Sheldon I’ve been out the scene for many years so I’m out of the loop 🤪. I do see posts and what not on FB to see what he’s up too. He’s had, and still is having, quite a career.

[@TrueyLewis]

i saw this 6,7 years ago and was so impressed i started djing. started my first company called familyfirstdjs. we are about to celebrate our 2nd anniversery. not any easy tak djing these days. thank u dj p. i also found dope compilation with ztrip called uneast listening. fucking epic!!! look it up

[@TheLT1runner]

This dude is dope. There are good Djs all over the place. Very few great ones.

[@DjRiches]

he made mashups popular hes that guy

[@HOLDINCOURTTV]

Legend. Thank you. God bless.

[@gregmckan9950]

He may not beat juggle, scratch, or beat match the best, but he is a true B-Boy for sure and knows his Hip Hop. His mash ups are unorthodox, but I can appreciate that. The DMC crowd is tough on DJ's and hard to impress with all the talent they have witnessed over the years, but they sounded impressed by his set. Big ups DJ P.

[@yohyzo5889]

Top 10 legends of all time.

[@DJSeri0usBLACK]

this was awesome lol it's nice to hear actual music being played and something that you can ENJOY listening to and ACTUALLY dance to...not trying to down play anyone or their skill set but juggling beats at 150 bpms or scratching battle records gets dull after a while. How many of you have ever found yourself scrolling through your ipods or music library thinking "gosh i want to hear the winning set to dmc 2009 right now" besides this is what the dmc USED to be about blending and mixing

[@mortonmilletto262]

I love this dude.

[@michaelaustin2036]

HE'S ILLMATIC

[@Justtahi]

man!!!!!!i remember havin this on video, awesome routine bro,hope your still doin your thing man!

[@MRRJD2]

THIS GUYS OUT OF CONTROL! WHOA BABYYYYYYYYYY!!

[@readybeeill]

P is the man!

[@venkman_uk]

this whole set is perfect ! haha hip hop .. right before your eyes. peace yo !

[@utubesarkaz]

Jam On It - Newcleus

[@Reddi904]

He did win Master of the Mix Season 2 :)

[@DrDevilish1]

damn that was so sick. i saw this foo live in portland at a local hip hop shop 360 vinyl back in 2001

[@unmarprofundo5929]

I liked this one. NOt much overdoing like nowadays DJ´s. just simple and raw.

[@jsheldon7320]

Damn still rockin Tulsa! 2018

[@johnnymacdrums]

agreed, this guy is awesome

[@Emily_and_kaylee]

dj p is my 4th cousin

[@Dreamz.Interstellartorium]

Woah, didnt know he was from Missouri, also didnt know he was a dancer. No wonder his albums always resonated with me. Homebilly hit a king cobra wave and then glided to the other side of the stage and started breaking with the record still playing lmao. respect

[@telephowned]

yeah plus it's an amazing mix.

[@djflashb]

4:25 "they cant find a job" lol he dissed them in his own way

[@skinnee]

yeah he just lived there a long time and reps it. he was born in springfield misouri. woohoo for you.

[@jontense]

This kids off da hook, looks like hard work son !!

[@MrXabungle]

i'm sure his dancing won the crowd more than his mix

[@skinnee]

yeah p is way fuckin dope. way more style and all that.

[@fredware]

at first I hated the beginning...but the more I watched, the more I thought this was pretty creative. probably not the usual routine you would see but rocks in its own unique way. BIG UPS!!!!

[@poweredbyWatts]

Wow...a true dj who can bring it back to the element of djing. Fuck all the scratches that fools think is necessary now, his routine had the perfect mix of party rocking and scratching to compliment one another perfectly.

[@NewbFriendly]

As a mid 20's male I must say this is the sickest shit I've ever seen.

[@djmertz]

I've said it before, and I will say it again until my fingers can no longer type. Get A Job is the hardest diss in the history of hip hop.

[@RunningOrder]

fenomenal

[@kevincraig4326]

We look back now and think: Damn we suk...but we had FUN!!

[@DJDarkuJ]

one of my fav

[@wanmaker]

it got better at the end and it was funny

[@Freedom35Project]

GOAT.

[@birddogfreemann]

Good one.

[@koncreteliquids]

Serious SSK UAT shit right here... Tulsa and OKC, Star7 EBM and all that

[@Diaz23]

:24 "Try some of your own potion then tell me again " lmao classic

[@REDOXSTYLE]

I see a lot of people talking crap, this was back in 1999, and the DMC is about creativity, and he was very creative if you ask me, think out the box, to do something nice you don't have to use all this customs records, and bs juggles, this routine was nicee \O/

[@neversellout2000]

Dude??? 1999? DJ P ur a sick man. F'n disgusting bro. Ty for demonstrating how to mix vinyl records. Ty. This should be a page in the "How To DJ" hand book. Keep it Rockin P!!! Love the Sesame Street record.

[@zepocean8580]

Jam on it!

[@soulmachineNo1]

Jam on it....

[@ThiefOfBaghdad]

rofl @ outro' "creatures like it" (points to next DJ when he says "it")" ahahaha

[@East13]

DJ P is a true original, a B boy & Rock Steady to boot! This was a clip from 10 yeras ago DJ Cocky...so get a grip!

[@TrueyLewis]

there is a awesome mix on the pirate bay of him and dj z trip called uneasy listening. if you like this, that is your shit. does anyone know what the name of that break in the first song with tom petty is called?

[@crabapples1995]

genius!

[@J-Hz]

Newcleus - Jam On It

[@NOCDIB]

As far as musicality and crowd control he won but at that stage of DMC history you couldn't possibly win with minimal scratching and no beat juggling. 1999 hands down had the toughest field of US competitors battling it out. P's set was different but couldn't beat the likes of P-Trix, Spictackular, or Slyce. Even tough sets like Ruckas and Dummy don't get the props they deserve because competition was so good.

[@jazzer69]

Yea I was there at the Granada in 99' DMC getting ripped on Bourbon & Coke on this same routine...

[@xfadr8219]

Does anybody have the footage from a similarly hilarious routine where he lip syncs 'scratching, what is it' like this one but over the gambling pete's break? I forgot where it was from but this was in the 90s or early 2000s.

[@chooby3000]

wish i was djin bak then, i wudda been good enuf to compete in dmc's.....

[@MAGIKORBIT]

I had the pleasure of introducing this guy at The HIdden Castle .......... cool ass cat

[@Hogboy345]

Dude SHUT IT DOWN! I remember when I first saw this and I tried to hate because I was a hardcore scratch nerd, but it's all about entertainment, and he did just that. I still get a kick out of watching this.

[@OliveMule]

scratching is essential, as he scratched during his set./....

[@CoReCoNTAX]

Fucking str8 up DOPE!

[@badtastecru]

nice chair freeze at the end..!

[@LingoShane]

Actually it says "jam on it" because the name of the song is Jam On It by Newcleus.

[@chuchomorena]

a dj that knows how to breakdance??? hell yeah!!! lol

[@TheDavkat1]

Salute to TOM PETTY!!!

[@wolfrunner79]

You are smokin' HOT!

[@DjRiches]

2 diffrent people its like pc and mac both good but are on different roads.

[@jeffreydossett4221]

Anybody know where to get the Hell on wheels cd?

[@redoxon305]

yeappp agree, lol but i think people should also include in they routine a little bit of mixing like he did. agree? the scratching, and beat juggle is a must, he didnt do no beat juggle, but his routine was diferent i liked it uahuahuahauhauahu lol

[@oskamadison]

Anybody hatin' can kiss my ass...P RIPPED IT!!!!!

[@ClamGaming-th2wt]

anybody know what the first drum beat he uses is?

[@Ryzer1982]

Fucking nice 1!

[@DjScreaM514]

"this routine is corny as hell... cant believe i watched the whole set... "LOL! Its like stepping into a time machine, its tight as hell though...for 1984. I can't fault him too much... I'm stuck in '97myself so to each their own! Peace!

[@CutzonDemand]

A true hip-hop head right here!!!All you microwave,fake ass,wanna be Dj's need to crawl back into your microwaves,press start and bake on the true skillz!!Check him out on master of the mix season 2 and get yourself's schooled in how true hip-hop should be represented!!

[@Adrian101882]

Anyone know the name of the track he drops at the 2:08 mark?

[@readybeeill]

@SCuthroat Definition by Black star what are you like 10? Classic Material

[@ssj3brando]

what is the beat at 3-48 that says jam rollin

[@augdon]

This guy's style reminds me a lot of DJ AM.. Too bad he's dead. Does anyone know if this guy is still alive?

[@defmasterles7413]

+augdon Yes DJ P aka Danny Phillips, He's on Facebook. He's B.E.T.'S Master Of The Mix Season 2 Champion $250k Grand prize. He was the only DJ that season to win using (Vinyl) records. Still mixing all over the U.S. and sometimes Over Seas.

[@waynenothnagel454]

Alive and living in Springfield Missouri

[@jsheldon7320]

Playing Tulsa soon

[@TerenceLee610]

Yo did he win? Cuz that was hot!!!

[@HOLDINCOURTTV]

Anyone know the beat that starts at 3:48 ? Peace.

[@djbrockout]

i would go outside for a smoke if i was at this event .... wow

[@djgambitron]

take that you 1 trick rappers! booyah! LOL the best thing about that set was he didn't use battle discs and had to swap discs the old school way. DMC competitions should ban battle discs in my opinion and make jocks work for it. it's so lame when you hear a dozen jocks in a row all cutting the same disc. swapping & cuing are part of spinning too as is digging the crates. i saw absolutely no anger or violence in that set, just a "hip hop & don't stop" celebration of life. that's the real deal!

[@deeel]

If you didn't know, DJ P is dope as hell and he's a true TRUE BBOY. But with all of the brainwashing that goes on regarding music and taste it doesn't surprise me what some youngsters say.

[@djgambitron]

true... he's no q-bert or noize, but he STILL has 10x the talent of any rapper. make that 20x when you throw b-boying into the mix. this is the shee that no talent rappers ruined when they not only destroyed the ORIGINAL 3 elements, but then flipped hip-hop BACK to gangs & violence which it originally tried to END

[@kevincraig4326]

Knew P from Gas in Overland Park

[@redoxon305]

what are you talking about??? DMC is about criativity, everybody does the hard stuff, beat juggle, awesome scratches, he did it a little bit diferent, not so tecnical, but that shit was nice

[@Blackson187]

@MTXSHO9732vV8SHO yep, RUN DMC started out with legit drums because they didn't have a drum machine back then.

[@Hectik17]

Wik wik wikity wak!

[@rappersdelyte]

Definition by Blackstar

[@Blackson187]

No, they are two different people.

[@MafcoCinco]

It also was the only routine at the DMC that year that got a standing ovation. Just because a DJ doesn't go crazy with the scratch routine, people don't want to hear it. My personal opinion is this routine had a good deal of influence and helped start the whole "mash-up" rage.

[@onunato1]

19 people....
