May 6, 2012
Chances are if you’ve watched MTV at any point in time you’ve seen the “Pimp My Ride” show hosted by rapper/actor Xzibit or as participants on the show would often refer to him as….”Mr. X To The Z”. The ‘Pimp My Ride’ show would find willing participants with the most busted ass vehicles & then have a team of creative auto mechanics trick it out. Professional DJ & former Masters Of The Mix show finalist DJ Yonny hosts this new internet show that just debuted called “Pimp My Turntables” where they creatively trick out the equipment for professional DJs & turntable enthusiasts. In the very first episode they catch up with international party DJ & Philly legend DJ Jazzy Jeff as they trick out his turntables in such a way that just leaves him speechless.

DJ Jazzy Jeff x Señor Kaos – “Peter Piper” (Jam Master Jay Tribute)
January 23, 2012
Just a few days ago on January 21st we would have celebrated the 47th birthday of the legendary Jam Master Jay of Run DMC. Unfortunately the world is unable to celebrate his contributions to hip hop & DJ culture with him in the physical form due to his untimely death, but that doesn’t stop many people like DJ Jazzy Jeff & Señor Kaos from honoring him with this tribute track that I believe was first premiered on DJ Mick Boogie’s Run DMC tribute mixtape.

Kanye West & Lil Wayne Mark Their Debut as DJs on NYE 2012 (Video)
January 2, 2012
Kanye West was the featured DJ at a party in Las Vegas for New Years Eve 2012. Many of the reviews from people we’ve peeped on twitter have been mixed for the new DJ now known as “Yeezy World Peace.” Meanwhile in Miami, Lil Wayne kicked off his part-time career as a DJ on New Years Eve as well. I know plenty of professional DJs out there are pissed that more & more celebrities are stepping into their lane, but I feel like more DJs should just market & promote themselves more. Technology changes the whole DJ game but marketing & promoting yourself never will. Check out more video below…

DJ Babu: The Turntablist (Video)
June 9, 2011
One third of the Dilated Peoples & active member of the world’s famous Beat Junkies, DJ Babu spoke in an interview with the good folks up there in Chicago…
“DJ Babu is almost unmatched when it comes to the turntables. He ushered in new styles and techniques that not only resulted in multiple DJ competition titles, but also being credited with coining the term “turntablist.” It’s definitely an honor, but one DJ Babu is not totally comfortable with claiming.” – RubyHornet

Classic Clips: Biggie Throws Water Bottle At Big Kap During Summer Jam Show In California (Video)
May 5, 2011
From Fader Magazine’s Icon Issue featuring Biggie:
“I’m throwing the records and it’s like, alright, cool we’re going through it. But it’s so hot the heat is actually warping the records. The records is melting! So the records are warping right before me and it’s just like woooommp. And Big looking at me. We had this thing like, every time you make a mistake on stage during the show, you get fined $100. So during the show, Big heard the first womp, and he was like “A hundred dollars!†The record is crumbling up right before my eyes. Then it’s getting bad and Cease is like, “Two hundred dollars!†And then Big, he just stopped everything and was like, “Yo! What the fuck is going on?!†I’m looking and my records look like a piece of bacon back there. Big is tight! He had a water bottle, he threw the water bottle at me, and just walks off the stage” – Big Kap
