Thanks for including me. Very flattering to be included and remembered. Mad props Peace DJ SWAMP

[@jpsgalia]

This is the best tribute to all the people (dj´s or not) that love turntablism and of course, Dmc battles. Me as a dj still learning from those winning sets since 88 up to day and I think all the tablists from all over the world watch these old competitions of the best Dmc years! Thanks Shiftee! all the best from Argentina! :)

[@djezone]

WOW!!! SPEECHLESS!!! PURE MASTERPIECE!!!!!

[@Eighty6TVSA]

Shiftee's my favorite battle DJ because he throws his personality in the routine! funk and flow is something you cannot buy!

[@mreclipse3537]

He's not battle himself. He's replicating the 3 members of the Rocksteady DJ's

[@popehardboiled]

AWESOME!! I like the tribute and originality and creativity all in one! Best scratch DJing I've seen in a while. I can't stand the music and scratching right now in the DMC

[@kazukami3107]

hey shiftee, big fan of yours. love your humor and while i never met you personally, you seem like a really humble and chill guy. anyways where did you get your gold plated ttm56 plate? was that a custom given to you by rane?

[@stackingvoices5289]

Like how you went back in time to pick up atrak and raider.

[@thesonoffury]

something for the real hip hoppers in the place... i mean seriously, who else but a real head would get how cool this is?

[@stefanoprince]

HE-A-VY!

[@JMJC1]

@option852 it is A-trak according to the credits at the end.

[@fowmoufpunk]

not only that, but I think it's interesting that he was battling with M.I.A. records in 1988, 1996 AND 2001, especially since she wasn't even recording until 2002. Not even sure that "Pull Up The People" existed until 2005.

[@trollkilla7681]

You sir...are an idiot!

[@MrLaxPilot]

HE DA BEAST....

[@reellife28]

cutmaster swift shiftee was the best part...lmfao..

[@truesouljs]

@ThESToNeDSTuDeNT Hi, the 1991 DMC world final winner DJ David did that hand spin.

[@a2dds]

that was fantastic haha, the bloke on his deck at the end....what year was that??

[@djreal]

OMG! Fuckin' CLASSIC!!!

[@-djSRK]

shoutouts to shiftee

[@efsq]

and you still owe us the dj david stunt

[@dusan9271]

6:28 WTF !!!???? ?GREAT!!

[@GRONE5854]

Q STILO TAN ASPERO EL DE STOS LOCOS

[@VortexBassMusic]

lol at 6:27 damn straight dope shit man

[@dablckman]

hahaha that was like an episode of Quantum Leap.

[@djvaze013]

just saw him at an afterparty

[@kungfunk5dj]

lol grande!!!

[@ChEeZeBaLL999]

I'm kind of confused by this video. The audio at 2:42 is taken from this DMC championship routine at 2:08: /watch?v=Fw5xMZYgq2I&t=2m8s Which is the original video. In the video you posted, it's some other guy's pretending to do the same routine ??? Also, some of the dates in this video say 1988, 89, etc, but DJ Shiftee was born in 1986.

[@diggindeeptv]

Haha LOL @ dummy in the 98 one, at first glance I thought he was being develop HHHHAA

[@phism]

lol @ the swamp wig

[@wesnfred]

is this tribute insinuating the end of an era? just why they are bringing in serato in DMC, I do not know. As Tony Prince put it at KoKo, it was due to 'pressures' from DJs, but who on earth does he mean? thumbs up if you dislike the new idea

[@steelcuts]

on 1:10 i laughed so hard. dj kentaro :D

[@DJFATFINGAZNYC]

HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #HARDBODY!

[@hipnopath]

@JBLAZE999 I actually found it. It's from a scratch record my DJ Netik called Pay Day.

[@option852]

Anyone know who's set he's doing at 5:19? From '97 world finals. Don't think it was A-trak's who back then..

[@cbodasoyman]

NEED MORE LIKES

[@deejaytheory]

REEEEEEEDICULOUS
