Craze...still has it.
Have you ever seen someone do something and you just know they look at it a whole different way that anyone else does? Gonz with skating, Terje with snowboarding, Slater with surfing, and, as unrelated as it may seem, Craze with DJ'ing.
I remember going to the 99 DMC Worlds in NYC and seeing him for the first time. By that point he had won 3 world titles and was pretty much at the top of his game. But as you can see from this (which was taken last summer), he still puts it down.
For those who don't know, just take into account that he is scratching equally as well with both hands. Enough said.
Here is the DMC 99 routine. Check the needle drops around 3:30 in and the no crossfader/needle drops shortly thereafter. Next level.
Pretty sure Al and I were in the front row all hepped up on Krispy Kreme's with pocketfuls of mixtapes.
