Mista Sinista - 1993 USA DMC Finals (HQ/Improved Audio!)

[@nobswift]

Every up and coming DJ should be forced to watch this to realize how coolness sounds like.

[@JayWerx]

That fact that this is 93 is just mind-boggling. Cant believe rectangle won with that gimmicky BS. One of the biggest robberies in DMC history.

[@Sonnylintag]

There is many. How about Steve Dee getting robbed in the DMC before. Juggling just was almost too complex for judge’s to understand

[@bubz3t136]

I used to think the same, but watching it now, I realise Sinister was a bit sloppy at times here. It's funny how he came second to another crazy white boy in the same battle, two years after this, when Swamp won. Both battles were a really close call. Sinister was really unlucky. to come so close two times.

[@Diaz23]

Classic set by Sinista. His beat juggles are clean af. He should've been the USA champion this year off that "I got another funky break for you" beat juggle. That shit was sick!

[@originaldjchucks]

I wish DMC would digitize the old video tape recordings.

[@CreamOfBeats]

This routine got me started in production 20+ years ago. The day after I watched it, I bought myself a set of Techniques 1200’s, and a Gemini scratch master mixer!!

[@waxjuggler8945]

when funk prevailed in beat juggles.

[@bacongrits4155]

I was today yrs old when I realized @5:28 was edited into Common’s “I Used to love her” music video🤯

[@waxjuggler8945]

so dope to see Rob, Raida & Steve in the back.....#XMEN

[@amritabhaktas]

Roc Raida is there (behind Joey) with Rob Swift - Raida loved Joey so much

[@b-north]

this is the best audio from any dmc video ive watched and this is been a 5 years plus thing for me ... and its kinda surreal to hear this so clean and clear

[@albertalston1414]

I've been djing since 93 I came up studying all these guys salute and rip roc raida

[@jasonhardy142]

How the hell can they manipulate records like this, I can only daydream about being able to do this!

[@kaosstraxx4119]

[@SpindleMedia]

Still fresh

[@craw0808]

Still dope!!

[@f.lundamo8906]

Man, that I got a break for you routine i fell off my chair just now, then the Method Man routine came in and i never seen it before! Dang! I only knew it from my Rob Swift cd. Top 5

[@carlosvasconcellos8099]

AMAZING ... thank you for posting this fuego.. the elements of hiphop is strong in MISTA SINISTA ... super saiyan sonic supreme

[@FranKut1981]

Thank you DJ Real! Very nice clean!

[@suave6565]

I'm so glad I witnessed that live. When he did the method man routine, everybody lost it

[@soulnauticdj]

so smooooth!!

[@irvinghawkins1346]

As I look through out the years. There was more than one time that an X-man was robbed in the finals. Steve D 1990, Mr. Sinister 1993, Total Eclips would have taken the title in 1997. Slyce wet the bed that year.

[@bubz3t136]

Some people might also mention the '93 Supermen battle, against 8-Ball. The pitch routines that 8-Ball was doing were so new to most people back then, that it was obvious he was going to win.

[@amritabhaktas]

Nice thanks! yep sounds clean as.. DMC may even have the original footage, you could try contact them about it.. I don't think this set was ever release on dvd. This has always been one of fave routines

[@logicalblackman8228]

That T-Ski Valley joint was crazy!

[@FunkyChild718]

Back when turntablism was simple and funky and reflected the goldern era of hip hop sound rather than the euro techno shit that killed turntablism.

[@bubz3t136]

I think i.emerge set off the death of funk in DJ battles. Actually, I was saying this in KZbin comments as far back as 2006.

[@FunkyChild718]

@@bubz3t136 Haha, I think it was more Scratch Perverts and the European DJs, but yeah Merge had some preset scratch record juggles, but at least Merge was still funky and highly skilled. The feedback techno shit with the needles was the end of it. To me Sinista was the peak of the funky juggling. His shit sounded like real 90s hip hop production without being corny. I think Method Man and SWAT are possibly my favorite juggles of all time. Even better than Craze, Atrak etc. Neil Armstrong SWV is also up there for me - basically melodic 90s beats that could actually be their own song.

[@cptv9]

No head phones. straight g

[@dardisco23]

Hats donned. Wither the greatness of yesteryear? *recovers jaw from floor*

[@K1ck1992]

I like how he got his own record holder :DDD

[@thehunterofdeath2180]

Dope scratch mix 😎👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 old school OG DJ New York yeah

[@voncallender1590]

[@Sonnylintag]

He should have won

[@Alphahydro]

Sinista was nice. Swift in the back with no beard.
