| To show our appreciation for your support…
|
| Thank you DJs…
|
| «You out there?»
|
| Unh
|
| New LP (Yeah…)
|
| JS-1
|
| It is what it isn’t
|
| Turn the tables
|
| Turn the tables on ‘em, J
|
| Unh
|
| It’s left up to the DJ
|
| If anything he play
|
| On the wheels of steel, no replay these days
|
| How it regards to them Technics spinnin'
|
| Pioneers over the years rarely mentioned
|
| Let a flare go
|
| Let ‘em know who’s in the building
|
| DJs are the original builders
|
| Before Soundscan or BDS exist
|
| Where the park jam’s dudes were their own soundman
|
| Importance of the vinyl
|
| Cuttin' and scratchin' right and exact
|
| Maybe it skip — spin it back
|
| The purpose of the slip mats under the wax
|
| Provides the glide for LPs when doing a scratch
|
| Pitch control, sped up or slowed down
|
| A nice DJ wit' it, manipulate the sound
|
| Chirpin' with his fingers like birds very early in the mornin'
|
| Turn the tables
|
| Don’t be merciful like Joe Fatal when flippin' the crossfader
|
| Shoutouts to JMJ and Roc Raida
|
| And all the Grandmasters
|
| How it all got started, way back when
|
| I’m like tellin' you, straight on up
|
| How it all got started, way back when
|
| I’m like tellin' you, straight on up
|
| [Bridge: DJ Red Alert
|
| What’s the deal everybody?
|
| It’s the coolest, legendariest, that’s right
|
| The Kool — the DJ, the Red Alert
|
| We going wayyyyy back, the way it used to be
|
| Or may I say, the way it should be?
|
| Anybody with a brain can use Serato
|
| Test the skill of a true DJ is in a battle
|
| For example, DJ Aladdin or Rob Swift
|
| Mixmaster Ice or DJ Jazzy Jeff
|
| Q-Bert or Cash Money
|
| Or DJ Scratch
|
| DJ Cheese or Cutmaster Swift
|
| Can’t forget Tat Money
|
| Roc Raida, doing his thing in the flesh in Beat Street Records
|
| Rock and Soul was the best of the best when
|
| Gemini products on display and Vestax
|
| Jeff showed DJs how to transform
|
| Over 33 and a third, the history’s long
|
| Grandwizard Theodore invented the scratch up top in the Ex while doing sets
|
| 45s in this day?
|
| If you on a Gemini 2200 that’s rare
|
| Rane mixer be the new elixir
|
| Make sure tone arms balance right when…
|
| Much love for Kool Herc
|
| ‘Cause if he wasn’t born, hip-hop wouldn’t exist at all
|
| Turn the tables
|
| Don’t be merciful like Joe Fatal when flippin' the crossfader
|
| Shoutouts to JMJ and Roc Raida
|
| And all the Grandmasters
|
| How it all got started, way back when
|
| I’m like tellin' you, straight on up
|
| How it all got started, way back when
|
| I’m like tellin' you, straight on up
|
| We gonna take it back to the, the architects
|
| We gonna take it back to the turntables
|
| That’s right, we takin' it back to the vinyl, the wax
|
