Marley Marl on the Roots of His DJ Background

[@TheSerggio]

Marley Marl, the legendary DJ.

[@djguchegrande400]

damn i love the Internet... so freakin awesome getting the low down history from Hip Hop's greatest. Born and raised in Kenya, I didn't even know who Marley Marl and Mr Magic were when I heard Biggie shout them out on his records! And now I get to know the whole story...wow!! Now I watch this and its like I am sitting in a hip hop class learning about something that is so close to my heart. God Bless the Internet and KZbin. ''School shyt is a joke!"😎..... Thank you Enuff and Marley Marl for sharing!

[@melliemel32]

DJ Guche Grande cool. You don't even understand people not knowing this stuff if you grew up in the U.S. ~~Jesus is Lord, accept Him as Savior~~

[@marlondreckette4788]

DJ Guche Grande u didn’t know because u wasn’t on it bro if u like Dj and scratching u would know about him bro plus he produced a lot of songs u like today

[@IMAGREE]

for those who like hip hop yall should salute him for what he did and is doing for the culture

[@edski8536]

Ten Hut!!

Facts

[@b-citydakingnyc9469]

A dopest DJ and a producer from day one,Marley Marl!!I wish I will contact him..

[@propaneK1982]

Salute to my 1st favorite DJ I ever heard of and 1st favorite producer Marley Marl. Respect.

[@Forever.Remain.Nameless]

K. David and Red Alert, learned so much frm listening to them 2....

[@Cuffski]

This man pretty much invented sampling....let that simmer for a minute. Kool Herc, Bam, Flash, DJ Jazzy Jay, Red Alert and others started a culture but this MAN opened a door with production using technology and soul that cannot be closed !!!! Peace

[@WarriorsCherub999]

Nah ! He copied what we were doing. Stop it

[@BlackLotusVisualArchive]

Sampling was always there. It's literally how Hip-Hop was invented

[@b.rodclark7349]

Dimples D's 'Sucker DJs' was Detroit's introduction to DJ Marley Marl (pronounced MOLLEY MOLL!) and then came MC Shan's 'Marley's Scratch' and it was on and poppin'... I'm diggin' the modded old school Technics too!

[@eotero808]

Amazing interview!! Much respect to DJ Marley Marl for da experience and knowledge!! And to DJ Enuff, great interview, perfect questions. U hit da spot !! Great work guys!! Hip Hop lives!! Thanks!!

[@lockandload-yd5qj]

Thank God for DJ Marley Marl!!!

[@savingsoul]

Marley Marl early records were wacky fresh. If that makes sense you'll understand, coming from Carson California I showed alot of people his stuff

[@ariesmayhem]

i became a fan of marley marl after i keep on hearing his name for years, i saw him rocking with shante and the sympathy record, i am like who is this guy? hes amazing

[@seydevilchick8]

Marly Marl is rocking some technics i never seen…? Sick.

[@B.Phill7]

These are some of the Best Questions i ever heard an interviewer ask !!!!!!!

[@tunnelvisionxxl]

Good interview. I was around back then but I still learned a lot from this. A lot of people don't know Marley also had a daily House music show for an hour during 12-1pm on WBLS in addition to the weekend show he hosted with Mr. Magic. The man was a true DJ - I'm saying - beat matching House is a challenge, keeping current with what's hot is hard as hell without crowd response as well.

[@jasonhardy142]

Marley Marl beats were the dopest ever!

[@kirkstate]

the god pioneer of beats and radio ...how can a fool give this a thumbs down

[@methuselahbeats6610]

This dude made me wanna make beats as a child. I would have beats in my head...but didn't know how to get them out. I got what I need to do that now. Thanks MM!!! Love my dude.

[@djangelortiz]

What a legend! As one who doesn't use turntables anymore it was positive to hear Marley describe what a true DJ is and embrace different technology. Music knowledge , music formatting and crowd control makes or breaks a DJ. Not Turntables!

[@SCottLARock19]

Salute Marley Marl,Grandmaster Flash, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, JMj.

[@MrMrtsmith72]

Good interview ...important pioneer....

[@djcrazycuts6718]

Much respect to Marley for the Rap Attack shows AND, one of the best rap producers of ALL time! Marley and Mr. Magic's Rap Attack radio shows got me tuned in BIG time!!!!!! Mad respect Marley, and keep up the good work.

[@brightdachamp]

this was good this is why I rock with hot 97

[@norakat]

Yeah but at the same Hot 97 was the first to bring that commercial b**lsh*t painful rap R&B whatever you call it .. you know the sh*t the kids listen to today 👎

[@louis-anthonymcdaniel946]

DAMN! To be in New York when it all started to GROW?! Amazing. I became a B-boy in 1978 after watching "Rerun"(Fred Berry) "poppin' " on "What's Happening". I started DJing in 1983. ALL of the O.G.s influenced me. Bam, Hercules, Red Alert, Chuck Chill-Out, Flash, etc. As well as some of my classmates from my hood. Cedric Chaffold, Renard Whaley, Urban Reeves(That's his real name y'all), and Chris McCready.

[@josemercado1325]

Molly Maher you was always one of my favorite DJs of all times and I come from the South Bronx I like the way how you scratch and cut like👍♥️👍

[@nycgoodfriend]

I'm glad he said a Bronx DJ inspired him to be a DJ. DJ Breakout. Big shoutout to Hillside Boston road.

[@franksasek537]

Dope interview great questions

[@arkhitektz3150]

this is history speaking right here!

[@shawnyoung5960]

So let me get this straight He says he was the first DJ on radio to do a mix show but his inspiration to become a DJ was listening to DJ scratch vocals to a instrumental on a radio mix show? Hmmm...??? Still scratching my head. Still love to my Marley and Red tapes though.

[@Ladynay66]

much Respect

[@mrsoshadabaadman]

His Mr Magic stories are life. Especially the day BDP came to studio and they stole his sample reel and Mr Magic told them with a can of beer get the hell outta here 😅

[@williemontalvo5200]

Hi this is junior I was wondering if you guys have CD for sales ! Let me know , thank you

[@bigdaddyozone8574]

yo - hot97 - what I want to know is - is Marley Marl a DJ or a music Producer at heart?

[@-MrGoogle]

if there's any DJ out there that I would rather learn from that would be DJ Mar... ley Marl

[@ianvenables3590]

Dope interview!

[@jfallon2406]

Can we imagine if nyc wasn’t on the map so that means no hip hop that would b so sad for r nation luv from Brooklyn 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

[@johndrake2729]

Marley Marl is the Stephen J. Cannell of Hip Hop.

[@edselljr]

Aviously the disadvantage to technology such as seroto is it's all visual and not audio. I believe computers take the fun away on trying to find that mix, seroto makes it easy. I bought seroto scratch live 3 like 7 years ago. I used it 3 times and haven't used it since.

[@leondakid6690]

I wish he kept going

[@mr_diatribe2324]

Whoaaaa he still got the skills!!!!! I'd love to see/hear him and Ca$h Money wreck sh*t up on 4 turntables!!! What talent! What a proper human being! ;) Plus what a lucky lucky interviewer to be touching history like that! Marley is super humble and not faking the sh*t like a lot of bling bling crap rappers today! Plus 6 people definately came to this thread by mistake! Probably they are back in there own very little world checking out Paris Hilton messing it up on serato or some shit like that hahahah ;) Worrrrd!

[@DarkmanXXL]

Can anyone PLEASE tell me the name of the song my man Marley was cuttin’ up? Sounded like Jay Z...but I’m not sure🤷🏾‍♂️
