I haven't made it 5 minutes and I'm already honored to be able to dip into his discography. REST LEGEND 🙏🏾

Anyone in here dissing this man obviously has no clue about real hip hop and the contributions and influence this man has made! 45king is Your favorite dj's favororite dj! His mastery over rare breaks and samples is unmatched! I read someone say he should be using vinyl? Yo, the man's name isn't the 45 king for nothing! In all reality who the hell is carrying crates anymore? People kill me with that bs knowing you couldn't touch this man's music knowledge on his worst day or your best! Peace and much respect to DJ Mark the 45 king from dirty jerz! Thank you, I'm 40 w/o and your music is part of the soundtrack of my life! You, jmj, jazzy Jeff, grand wiz, dst, (and my pop) and several other djs made me wanna become a dj which led me into sampling, which opened up my appreciation for several different types of music just by digging in them crates! Peace and bless Mark the 45king and flavor unit!

Rest In Peace King you were always one of my favs from Wrath of My Madness to Stan - your music will never be forgotten Inshallah

Legends like him should be in a hall of fame for his contribution to music.

He was insane to create that Hard Knock Beat with Annie vocals!! Nobody would have thought of that

R.I.P to a Hip Hop King, The 45 King. Rest in beats. 👑

I'm thankful for the soul of this Brother who made me want a pair of 12's and a mixer to imitate what I saw him do. He is the reason why I still dig to this day for undiscovered treasures and so many overlooked musicians. May the family unite and his legacy illuminate the possibilities within younger ears, hearts and minds. Give the DJ some!!!!!

ONE OF THE BEST TO EVER DO IT-REST IN PEACE MARK THE 45 KING

This is EXACTLY what HipHop is missing! The way Dj Mark is mixing those quirky mainstream samples with some hard beats is classic old school HipHop.👌🏾

I discovered this genius and got obsessed with him some weeks before he passed away. Rest in peace and thanks for making life better with music ❤

Rest in peace king, there will never be another like you 🙏🏻

Damn, he was cooking! Straight Gumbo 👌🏾🎶🎧…RIP King, thank you for sharing your gift within Hip Hop Culture-Salute 🫡…🙏🏾🕊

Am I the only one who could easily watch 4 more hours of this??

45 King is still one of the smoothest transition cats out there. #legend

Rest in Peace King, from now on your sound is going universal🙏🏽👑

LEGENDS NEVER DIEEEE!!!

I like how he's always calm, not trying to go over board, just keeping the beats flowing.

RIP to the king. Thanks for your unique cuts 📀📀🙏🙏

I am very sick, when I get my medication I play this, it makes me feel good and I forget that I'm sick for a while. Means a lot ... Thanks 45 !

I came back to this gem once I heard about his passing, and it's still amazing. RIP

So flawless and diligent with the technique, intuition and preparedness. DJ Mark is the 45 King

This performance just made me aware of how a hip hop music production in its original form cannot be separated from DJing and record collecting. People outside of hip hop will say that hip hop producers are lazy just looping beats, but really all hip hop music is, is a DJ showcasing his finest diggings

RIP 45 King ! Thank you for your music !

One of a kind... Know your hip-hop history. Respect to the Architects and their legacy. True legend for your ears🌹👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

No cues points, in abs mode, using 45rpm control vinyls most of the time, and just throwing break after break. This is amazing.

The skills are smooth but it's the knowledge that blows me away every time! Props to you 45 King!!!

I grew up on 80s and 90s hip-hop. Now that I spin records myself, I can’t help but to get emotional every time I watch this video. DJ Mark The 45 King is, was and will always be a legend to me. R.I.P big fella! 😢

Damn. I remember 45 from back in the day. Been a while. I know I’m getting old. Glad this popped up! RIP

Thank you for the inspiration! 🙏🏾 Now on to the next journey!

Best boiler room set I’ve ever seen. Nothing but pure respect 45 king!! A true hip hop master!

I’d like to say something worthwhile but everyone’s got it covered. Rest in Glory

❤❤❤❤❤ one of the greatest sets I've ever heard in my life...45 King wil always LIVE.. REST IN POWER BIG BROTHER. PEACE#25

RIP DJ Mark 45 King, thank you for the music 👊🏻👑

This man was a Legend and if knew or not he helped usher in the sound of Hip-Hop that we all know and fell in love with.He is now up there with J.Dilla,Megatron,Jam Master Jay,and The Legends of Hip-Hop now having that Big Jam Session on the otherside.Your Contributions will never be fully appreciated enough and your music will live on forever 💙 ❤️.Thank you for the sounds that you brought in that will continue to influence people for generations to come and most importantly ❤️ Thank you for the memories and for being you.❤❤❤

If it wasn't for djs and producers like this,hip hop would of died with in 5 yrs,but luckily we have so many hip hop classics, thank you mark 45 king.peace.

Rest in Power 45. You did brilliant your time on earth the CREATOR gave you. Nothing but classics.

Id like to see anyone do what 45 King has done in their career ? He was a J Dilla or Madlib in his time. This set is a music lesson on its own . These days dj's come with pre recorded sets without a turntable in sight. 45 King. Music royalty for real.

Mr 45 king I still be playing that 1 900 number in my old school mixes. this guy is a legend.

Mark was a really good friend of mine. He is one of the nicest people you could ever meet. I met him via Dave Funkenklien rip as well. He would fly out here to Los Angeles and I would pick him up or meet him at his hotel somewhere in Hollywood or Beverly Hills.... RIP Mark 🙏🏾

rest easy legend

He is amazing! I love hearing the pops and crackles of the vinyl too, it takes me back and is soothing.

Hands down one of the best sets I've heard in ages...head nods all the way through.Salute to the 45 King...now we need a set from Breakbeat Lou

RIP KING. LEGEND. 👑👑🎧📼💽📀🐐🐐🙏🙏🌹🌹

Ledgends live on thru the music & the craft and legacy he built for us to appreciate 👌🏽❤️❤️❤️forever grateful to you 45 king 👑

for all you youngins and wanna bees...this is how hip hop was done in the beginning !!! he just used a lil advanced technology...but the tracks and style is very old school...about half wasy through he really went in on them with the b-boy break beats...only tri-state area people now about style...he did an excellent job of keeping it hip hop...2 turntables and a microphone is how it all began...and this is how the dj's rocked...Props to ya Mark !!!

Love all these "expert" opinions on here... people actually trying to qualify or school this DJ of 30 years - a pioneer compared to most. People who don't even realize who this is are all over the page trying to posture that they know more by giving HIM tips or waging war about vinyl versus digital all the while unaware he plays vinyl anytime he wants. It would be a fun world if people didn't open their mouths until they really knew what they were talking about.

It's dope watching a master do his craft! 🙌🏾

Rest In Peace bro, thanks for the tracks

20:45 He caught a flashback and tried to pull the record! Classic.

Mark is one of the most IN TUNE with the music DJ's I have ever seen. He knows every measure of all these records. A true sensei of music. Had the pleasure of meeting you at SOBs at the end of last year and it was truly an honor. Thank you for signing my Serato record which now proudly hangs on my studio wall. #Salue to the KING

R.i.p king you are never 4gotten rock out with angels white turntables n white wings u are legendary we the dj community all around world will rep ur name 4ever we will miss you big unc

Rest in Peace Legend. Used to enjoy your mixing when East Africa Radio used to syndicate your show back in the day.

this man goes back and forth on the mix like a drum machine. some cats will switch tracks abruptly but have no rhythm about it and are off...he's sonning those 45's (which are in general tough to spin, phsyically) -- comon check out 9:21 - 9:28 -- that was ILLLLLL effortlessly. RESPECT always

Dj Mark The 45 King - Please know this mans body of work, i've been listening to this man since the 80's, this man is your favorite Producers favorite Producer, Respect his Legend. I still remember all the local Dj's banging "The 900 Number" at the house parties back in the day. Mark i miss you man, been a long time, forever the best.

45 king is the truth rip real pioneer to hip hop

from the 900 number and beyond this man created some of the funkiest breaks ever... God Bless you 45 King!!!

He killed it !!!! Incredible selection !!! 45 King are the real Hip Hop

My personal favorite Boiler Room. 45 King .... Hip Hop... Respect!

Rest in peace legend 🙏🏼

I don't even dj, just apprecitate freaking on point timing, is how life really is when you're living in the moment, confident, real freaking timing man... Peace love and thank you for the beautiful work. Am stoked to experience and share. Pura Vida!

Thank you 45 king this is the essence of hip hip in its raw, the hip hop generation may underestimate the elements of OUR CULTURE and how the foundation keeps hip hop whats it is currently not to mention its essence is compromised, salute this generation of hip hop towards retuning to the essence of our culture even live style its what we do. this is artistry similar to a picasso rock and roll and hip hop along with jazz are america artforms peace and blessing to hip hop and its citizens

Definitely an inspiration for all Hip Hop fan, and beyond that for all true music addict !

25:17 'Superpeople' by the Notations ('74) as sampled in Big Daddy Kane's "Dance With The Devil" ('90); 25:43 Dennis Edwards 'Don't Look Any Further'

Yaaaassss!! This is the music I grew up listening to. This is the "other old school" music that is not given much play anymore. ❤🎵🎶💃🔥

This is what DOPE sounds like. I miss this!!!

Mark the 45 King no doubt right up with grand master flash and. Grand master Caz, plus he Latifah original DJ.he was doing production late 70’s through the 80’s as well. Plus jersey in the building.

Every beat match is so good.

What I did was come back again for some more funky breaks...... Superb!!! And lest we forget what a pioneering producer he was back in the day.....

RIP THE 45 KING!!!!! TRUE HIP HOP LEGEND...REST IN PARADISE KING!!!!!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Wow this set is smooth as fuck, much respect to a well deserved legend!

45 king is the truth with the break beats like i get chills

Yo! Thanks for posting this! I remember this from years ago! Still just as hot as the first time I saw it! RIP Mark!

I bet the people dislike this gem are listening now David Getta

Damn. So clean and smooth. A great lesson on how to drop it on the 1.

3:01 one of my favorite beats. Salute 45 King

Dopest mix online (period)

I'm so glad I stumbled into this video because its baddest djaying exhibition session..I have ever seen the 45 king simply killed it ...I writing this comment as he djays in the background I'm 10 minutes deep into this video and he's still killing it...I've Never seen or heard another dj come close to this ..the music selections by him was simply Incredible...best djaying exhibition ever for sure no doubt about it ...

Damn...working that crossfader. Smooth set that made my finals easier to study for. Mad respect!

Damn.. Those transitions cleaner than the Board of health.💯💪. Living Legend.

Rest in Paradise King!

I had so many 45 King Beat tapes, break records and Flavor Unit Mcs records too. His break beats on Red Alert were awesome too. Bigg up to the King, thank you sir.

These comments are too funny. First off, for people who are asking about the tracks, aside from the obvious, and funk break tracks, the hip hop instrumentals are his own tracks. The dude has a ridiculous catalog of beat albums. Two, for clowns who are criticizing his mixing skills, it is like criticizing Grandmaster Flash because he doesn't have the turntablist skill of Q-Bert. Old school cats like this are giving you a lesson in the records and skills of particular time periods. Be appreciative MFs.
