  1. What needles was Tony using..? Not sure what the ITF cart requirements
    were…Babu did great

  2. +ACMENTERTAINMENT1 He never left, he’s been Djing and producing for all the
    underground heads ever since.. you’ll see him a lot with his group Dilated
    Peoples.
    just since him at the 2013 Rock the Bells. Killed it on the 1210’s!

  5. Man thats a tough choice babu is a beat juggling god and he’s got the funk
    but he’s only a minor deity in scratch Vegas is on another level entirely
    he’s just breaks down sound great battle

  6. im not even a huge babuu fan ,,but respect him fully,,,,i remember win i
    first saw him he was just ok,,,,then outta nowhere his skills drastically
    improved making him one of the big dawns along with all his crew of djs
    posse,,they kept real dj in alive n kept dj in going into our serato n
    tractor days of present,,they still kept the skills n the art of the mix…i
    do believe babuu and that whole clan cut chemist,z trip, the whole fat
    beats clan,,,, too many great djs of that school to name,,,they all kept
    the djs going when it seemed djs were diisapearing from the scene,,thanks
    frm dj stepchild..n babuu killed this guy ,,peace

  7. babu rocks !! tony vegas wasn’t down this time,even if he didn’t
    make mistakes he would not have scratched as funky as babu

  8. @funkateer17 how do u feel Vegas was robbed? What battle DJ starts his set
    and not have his records cued up?….TWICE! 

  17. At least Vegas brought something new to the arena, with the whole reverse
    fader shit. I know people had been scratching in reverse before this,
    myself included, but Vegas took it to the next level, incorporating the
    volume faders, and eventually juggling in reverse as well. I think he’d
    have won this if he hadn’t fucked up, well, that is if the judges hadn’t
    robbed him.

  18. Great to have your feedback on the channel! Our imports shop brought in
    these particular ITF tapes in late 97.

  19. Babu is using all five fingers to scratch, each one doing it own thing on
    the Vinyl! Pretty tallented for 16 years ago….wonder if hes still in the
    game?

  25. I have a DJ Premier vs DJ Glacticist from ’89 tape, it was sick asfuck, dj
    premier won by a landslide. Also a Terminator X vs Funkiee F, Funkiee F
    from ’93 tape, Funkiee F won with scratching an mixing Eric B & Rakim’s
    “Know The Ledge” and Big Daddy Kane’s Nuff Respect for the last 35 seconds.
    it was tight and out of sight. DJ Jazzy Jeff vs DJ Laminate from ’87 is
    pretty good , DJ jazzy Jeff dominated him
