DJ Aladdin - DMC 1989 US Finals Routine

[@djwordnyc]

You saw it on video & I was there in person! I was one of the judges for the American DMC championship that Aladdin won & I was one of the people responsible for putting on the DJ & MC battle for NMS. The fact is that Aladdin was better at the DMC & Miz was better at the NMS period. They both have different styles & different influences, Aladdin was influenced by Joe Cooley and Miz was influenced by Cash Money & Jazzy Jeff, again they are both great & they both respected each other immensely!

[@gaffle-411]

From all the DMC routines I've seen ('86 - 2015), this routine is definitely in my top 10.

[@djkaneck1]

LFMAO!!!! I've mixing for 17yrs, your comment brought tears to my eyes. DJ-ing is alot easier now but the old school way taught you the fundamentals though. Great comment.

[@haeke69]

Aladdin totally killed this routine - my fav dmc routine ever

[@guillermojimenez4817]

He sould have won the worldchampionship dmc final. One of my favo dmc routines

[@issacbluecoat7597]

them scratch solos still hold up today

[@djxsquizit]

Sure do

[@thatstheguy07]

Low Profile was the shit. I was listening to that shit back in grade 8... no one knew of them then and no one knows about them still to this day lol got ta pay yo dues!

[@mikelaw3862]

I was on them day one!

[@vnvnation20006]

This is from the Riviera in Chicago. He won first place and then went to London finals where he came in second in the world. Many agree, myself included, he should of been first. I have the video and this guy blew away everyone. Including a guy from London who won first. If you ask me, it was fixed.

[@DeeJayBUNDY]

Yes it was fixed. Long story. Cash Money tried to get payback on him and Joe Cooley because they tried to sneak Aladdin as a NY qualifier. Well, the trick worked! If they knew he was from LA And not NY, they wouldve cheated Aladdin from making it to the world DMC. So Cash Money said, "i dont want to defend my title, i want to judge instead" OR "i want to cheat Aladdin out" because we are not going to allow a Dj from our rival town of LA take the world championship and say he whipped us all from NY at the same time. EVERYONE KNOWS DJ ALADDIN WAS THE 1989 DMC WORLD CHAMPION.

[@TuneStunnaMusic]

I was heartbroken after learning these routines, that Aladin got his Planet rock and Al naafish routines from Joe Coolley. But none the less, back in the day, I learned all these routines, and still love watching them.

[@gaffle-411]

TuneStunnaMusic man, I believe ALL those west coast greats looked up to Joe Cooley. Even Qbert...

This routine would have destroyed cut master Swifts routine.

[@zacharyabdur-rahman7721]

knicks-new-yorker The routine he did at the finals that year by far destroyed cut master swift routine. Home town boy is what granted swift the victory.

[@robluv2799]

Word the FUCK up!!! Legendary shit always withstands the test of time... No controllers/DVS, no cue points, no headphones, and bouncing needles... Along with skills, you had to study up, travel, and purchase the vinyl you needed... 2 COPIES BRO!!! I use Serato & Traktor, so I’m not going to be the old get off my lawn you fucking kids dj, but TO ALL OF YOU WHO CONSIDER YOURSELF TURNTABLISTS, BUT HAVE NEVER TOUCHED REAL VINYL, CHECK IN YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR AND REALLY LEARN AND REFINE FUNDAMENTALS, SKILLS & TECHNIQUES WITH REAL LABELS TURNING AT 33 1/3 RPMs... Only then will you understand why OG DJ & TURNTABLISTS call this digital age CHEATING... Regardless, keep SCRATCHING!!! 👍🏽🙏🏽🤘🏽✊🏽

DJ Aladdin used to be in this group with WC called Low Profile. A little West Coast Hip Hop trivia for y'all.

[@econcrook2062]

@Zachary Abdur-Rahman I believe DJ Aladdin produced New Jack Hustler for Ice-T

[@DeeJayBUNDY]

@@econcrook2062 And Richochet from IceT

[@STEPASAUR]

aw if he'd only done this routine in the world final, maybe he would've actually won which i have to say (being from the UK) he did

[@skillrob1000]

DJ Miz won this battle by a hair it was the greatest display of DJ talent I had ever seen!

[@newyorker19810]

Wrong

[@crisvicente1321]

Muito bom top

[@ozulu45]

@skillrob1000 miz placed second in the DMC! Aladdin shouldve won both the DMC AND NMS! EAST COAST BIAS as usual!

[@skillrob1000]

@Techspert 89' I attended a DJ/MC Battle for World Supremacy in NYC hosted by MC Search. Craig G did a freestyle dissing Search said he looked like a baseball coach... I used to smoke a LOT!! but Im certain DJ Miz won that battle against Aladdin, and MC Freshco won the MC battle that same day, later they made a few records together perhaps an album, Miz and Freshco. so If this isn't that same battle... Aladdin ran this routine at least a couple times.

[@MOUNTAINLDC]

Los Angeles!!!

[@myskunk1]

they cant get enough of run dmc at this dmc

[@nicholasborg2279]

DJ ALADIN ICE T ORIGINAL GANGSTER.

[@kelceyallen433]

I wonder where Aladdin at now. That beat he did for Ice T, and WC Harrrrrd.

[@ozulu45]

@daorigino yo son! the curve fader wasnt even created yet IN 89! two distinct styles kid! most west coast dj's used the NUMARK 1150 mixer! the cross fader on those faded away so transforming wouldnt sound good.using the lines switch(ticker) sounded better! east coast cast used the gemini MX1100 OR MX2200! you didnt see that (cheater)curve fader shit until 94/95 with the VESTAX 05 MODEL!

What is the third song that starts at 2:00 with the blue label ?

[@harryarmstrong658]

Hashim - Al Naafyish

[@HypnoticHollywood]

actually,that was the most expensive mixer out at that time ,just a preference of dj'/'s from cali back then,including Joe Cooley

[@DeeJayBUNDY]

NO, It was the Numark 1150 mixer. Average price $100 at the time.
