Dope battles, great quality video. Thank you Swiftstyle for always working so hard behind the scenes (and the turntables, the cameras and microphones, the screen of your computer where you must spend countless hours editing) to make sure that the art of scratching and turntablism is represented and kept alive! Respect.

[@CutAndPasteRecords]

biggups all competitors, thanks to the organisers and judges, and thanks to Freddy for the dope video production!

[@deesee6009]

Figs had that in Rnd 1, Flip Flop was lucky as hell to get that tie-breaker

[@turntabletreehouse780]

I gotta agree I think figs edged him out.

[@givitz]

Figs is better... u can see that he is disapointed when they get a round 2 and all voted to Flop... 👎👎

[@paulwheeler6888]

I felt like Figs had that tie break round also. Both are so dope tho

[@DOPEZ1200]

Figs had it for sure, hand control was insane !! It just happens that way sometimes, the electro rounds always fucked me up lmao

[@pablovanga1763]

Agreed!

[@djorig]

Figs tho 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@rtst_dj]

Good times all around! Much love to everyone in this vid!

[@TyraFromSaigon]

Now that was a great battle. Go Canada! Even though Flip Flop is still my fave, G-Nius was 🔥🔥🔥That speech for Eric 🥹

[@DjBahrain]

FIGS 🔥🙌🏻

[@onetimepeace]

G nius is a dope skratcher,II am keeping a eye on this cat,to those always support skratchers and turntablist musicians all day and night 💯

[@paigeanderson2483]

If you can’t count bars and go past the 16 you are given and kut into your competitor’s time, you should be disqualified (or at least count the mistake into the judging). It gives the next dude up a huge disadvantage. Mad love to everyone that battled though! 💪🏼 💥

[@turntabletreehouse780]

True...I noticed the 8 bar and 24 bar discrepancies when I saw it live... I was saying 16 bars drinking n smoking ... Ive been fortunate to have meet alot of the people there and would have liked to have say hello and clink a beer bottle

[@dem8603]

FIGS GOT GANKED!!!

[@smoke1va]

😂 Facts they did the homie dirty.

[@stanleyn.2476]

I think the screwed up bars made that battle a mess. Probably messed with Figs flow. Flip flop did take it but I can see that Figs has the skill to take Flip Flop.

[@smoke1va]

G-Nius is the Pacquiao of the cuts 👊🏽beast mode on!

[@dexxxhunt]

Salute..Illmatic fam!Respect to all cut assassins.Bless up/Peace

[@thehunterofdeath2180]

[@Salvizion415]

Thank you guys for the hospitality. You guys have holding it down for years and it was dope to experience the battle in person. Hope to see ya'll again at the next NAMM!

[@space6712]

Wow! Don’t know if anyone noticed but that battle at 8:42 between G-NIUS and MR. VIBE was soo good! So dope how Vibe was using that 7inch Skiratcha and killin it! Both did great, very hard to decide on that one 🙌 Also was hoping DOPEZ was gonna be in this one.

[@turntabletreehouse780]

Yeah homie is sick. Got to meet him..chill dude

[@DJGorny94]

Yeah! 100% agree, especially that7" like to skip like shit!

[@airnino]

the battle had an incredibly high skill level, all competitors brought nothing but heat. the final battle was crazy good, flipflop is hands down one of THE best skratchers ever! but gnius was just absolutely ripping it that night, he had the moment, congratulations. massive thanks for everybody who made the battle possible! and last but not least #wundrkutforever! his legacy and his energy helped to make this battle even more special 🙏🙏🙏

[@elpidiogranatello5160]

Idk where you get the money, maybe oil since you are texan lol, but buyng all that machinery and stuff to press 25 vinyls, is mental. Scratching should be accesible

[@Swiftstyle]

This is my passion which is priceless to me. We press regular (more accessible) records as well. Being able to get my hands on each and every part of the process has always been the goal.

[@elpidiogranatello5160]

Was presto even trying to battle? Wasted a whole round. Flip flop personality and effortless

[@turntabletreehouse780]

Hate to say this but that foos kinda conseded.. i respect ogs but some people's personalities are dogshith..

[@edwardortega7148]

That was bs ya did flip flop dirty

[@FarebrothaChronicle]

This is cool but, after years of innovation there isn't a lot of new discovery in turntablism. You can pull up any old KZbin video an essentially see the same scratch, scratch patterns and sequences.
