How Daly City's Filipino Mobile DJ Scene Changed Hip Hop Forever | KQED Arts

[@amjr2119]

There needs to be a Netflix show on this scene started. I’m from Seattle and many of our local DJ’s are Filipino. I’m sure this roots back to this in some way.

[@CaliforniaTravelVideos]

THIS makes me so PROUD of where I came from! DC born and raised and NEVER regretted it. -g

[@TommyAstrology]

Non filipino here but grew up and hanged around filipino's, Black's and Latinos. As far as I'm concerned Filipinos created the house party, garage party, back yard party everyweekend at someone's home who's folks were out of town or just hella cool and down wid it . Filipino girls were super-duper hot their little dance groups dancing against each other at the house parties from Fairfield to San Jose rocking, popping and swagging like a rock star . Slowly other non filipino's like Latinos and Black's started having house parties but not never the scale of filipino's period they rocked !

I wish this was so much longer. I was in that scene. Our group was on several Imagine Flyers and we still do weddings and private parties. Majestical Productions from 1985-Present...

[@kutupmusictv]

if anyone ever wonders why the Bay Area, especially Daly City bred so many DJs that just happen to be Filipino....this video is the answer right here!

[@djscratchdog]

Masters Of Beats where the first DJs in. Daly City we were Mexicans not Filipino

[@djdecimator97]

anyways, both people are still brothers in arms regardless of skin color or race, btw Filipinos were also a part of Spain just like Mexico.@@djscratchdog

[@on2wheels378]

I remember Legend DJs. Unique Technique (LA/Riverside/OC area) Style DJs Long Beach...

[@RonaldCamasura]

[@djscratchdog]

I started DJing in 1982 garage parties for the Fog Town Gang in Daly City real story right here

[@DennisAllums]

People were bored back then and then hip hop had something for everybody. rapper, dj, singer, sexy girl. Everybody was included.

[@steventhomas7781]

Does anyone know where I can find the full track of the opening scene music? I know it’s a DJ scratching over the operation lockdown beat...just want to hear the whole song

[@johnjohn1890able]

[@djscratchdog]

Hey I remember Spintronix most of those DJ’s were copying my style.. The Masters Of The Beats MOB crew started in 1982.. I used to see Apollo at all my gigs asking if he could mix on my turntables...For the recorded we never hide the vinyl ...MExicans started the DJ movement in Daly City not the the Philippinos..

[@marcusaurelius-s1w]

Hmm its like how Cesar Chavez became famous for leading the United Farmers Union movement in the 60's, but it was Larry Itliong and other Filipino farmers from Delano, Ca. that had already done the hard work of shedding light to the issue.

[@djscratchdog]

they shredde light on the issue in one city but Chavez shredded light on all of California and had the people back him up@@marcusaurelius-s1w

[@badboyonibaku]

@@marcusaurelius-s1w Same thing with the Zoot Suits lol Filipino farmers have their suits be dapper and these farmers start jacking the Manongs style.
