I was a participent in this competition on this night and I have to say that Battle Cat and a few others did their thing. What u have 2 understand is at this Level of Competition anyone can come away with a win ... However I knew if they Didn't give it to me (Couldn't finish my routine due 2 technical issues) They definitely messed up by NOT giving it to Steve Dee and that's Fact!!!!

No Headphones, just Knowing your Mark. SKILLZ!!!

I love the fact that he isn’t using headphones and rocking that shaky mixer like a champ.

My dude was so young and skinny in the 90’s lol. Dude is a legend. Makes the best west coast beats

The best HipHop producers was DJs first.

He's a great producer but I didn't know he was that cold on the turn tables. Major talent and underrated! Dope DJ set salute!

Battlekat is a fucking legend in hip hop

No headphones no computer all by ear all natural talent

My OCD is kickin' in so much, I want to hold his mixer still ... Mad Skillz though 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

How he does the tricks with the 900 number is just awesome! I had a lot of those vidz converted to cassette so i could listen to them on my walkman 😅 But indeed, this one stood out at the time and it still does. Sadly today we lost Mark the 45 King, the creator of the 900 number. Rest in ethernal Peace ❤

Man nothing but love & respect to all the pioneers that were here participating with the battle u all shaped the way turntablist are performing today in the 2thousands and beyond period

I've never understood how judges Red Alert and Bambattaa were always so chill with head bob while judging these late 80s competitions.

All it takes is that one needle skip and it all comes tumbling down. Excellent recovery and improvisation.

Legendary DJ. 💯💯💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥😎🤑🤑🤑🤑$$🔥🔥🔥🤑😎

OG Battlecat only gets better with time. This is an amazing performance in 1990. I seen him at Dre Day 2020 in Echo Park and it was unbelievable. Had the whole venue going crazy as he mixed Parliament, Zapp, NWA, Dre, and Snoop into his set

EVEN THE 1987 DMC CHAMPS I HAD ON VHS DJ BATTLE CAT WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME. MASTER CHOPS, CUTS & BEAT JUGGLING, (MONO) SCRATCHING ALREADY PERFECTED AT AN EARLY STAGE OF TURN TABLEISM LANGUAGE

That Low Profile is classic !!!!!

incredible, especially since its almost 30 years back, this set would still hold its own today

This is one my favorite djs and producers, he creste the g funk.

Battlecat amazing scratch& juggle

This is what you call SKILL. No turning or twisting knobs and no pushing buttons on a laptop.

I love this shit! Im a dj from this era and this about how i get down. 90's DJ'S SALUTE THE OLD SCHOOL. #BATTLECATSALUTE

Ending ... dude was like stop that right now!!!

Clean routine from the West Coast Legend! Love the groove he kept throughout the this set. 💿 Never knew he was a legit battle DJ!

that shit was sick, he put low profile's pay ya dues instrumental classic

Cat is one of my favorite producers, talkbox, keyboardist and DJ! Extremely talented brother!!!!!

Battlecat!!!! is the illest still to this day

Damn, Red Alert had the permanent poker face!!!

Much respect to DJ Battlecat, West Coast Pioneer DJ : )

I just listened to "The Real Roxanne With Hitman Howie Tee - Bang Zoom! Let's Go Go!" the other day. What he's doing with this in the first two minutes or so, is nothing short of excellent.

Watching this back years later, others DJ's might have been a bit more experimental and unique, but the actual cuts and juggles in this set were really om point, the timing and musicality were better than other sets.

Dope how Cat brought it back, and ended the mix on the West Coast with that Low Profile…Pay Ya Dues record.

Real talent,real records,real mixer,real tables.

Luke Skywalker aka Luther Campbell is pretty good on those turntables! I thought he was just a hype man for the "2 Live Crew". More than a hype man he's really good at doin trix in the mix and this proves it for real yo! Dj Luke Skywalker Skratchin!!! The force is with him when he's on those turns!!!!

That shit was amazing!

Battle Cat killed it!!!!🔥

This real djying not the water down crap with a Mac- Book learn you busters! ❤❤

Yes sir It's Real 😊 ZZZZ Zoom Very TALENTED 🎼🎼🎼🎶😁😇

When he’s drumming that 900 number.. that shi*t was crisp… those transforms with the clicker requires precision

I never had access to ANY of these tapes in 89 90. Boy these would have helped

KILLED IT. TOO CLEAN. LEGEND.

Classic Legend! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

It's amazing seeing the evolution of turntablism, into this setup, scratch, juggle, & mix styles, from only 4 / 5 years earlier!

They never imagine how Battlecat went to a westcoast legend

Now this is what I remember, all these people that call themselves DJ's now I don't know what the hell. They just stand there with a usb and play music that's it. But look at this he is WORKING,

Damn Battle cat a legend

Daamn he look like a whole different dude

I swear i wouldnt have been able to sit there calm like Red is

Boy Cold🥶

No computer, no buttons, no tractor or serato , just a Numark DM1150A and two Technics SL1200’s

Respect the 🐐

When he put his face on it 🤣

I still have that VHS tape he murdered that ish...🤣

I do miss that switch that was used for transforming scratches. Yes you can do great scratching with cross faders but that switch was fun and amazing the sound you get from it

dj aladin and wc 1988 profile for the last sample

Man at 3:20 I jumped out my seat! Battlecat is wicked asf.

Wow I never knew he was a Dj on technics finals 😮 amazing skills on the desks back then. One of the best music producers too 🔥🔥

Homes at the end was just like "OOOOO-k"

Top notch

Back when DJ ING was a skills no laptop

FAMILY Ties 🎉🎉🎉🔊🎤😇💰💰💰💰💰😊

Unc Red looked absolutely bored shitless, he was like Eddie Murphy in Delirious “What is all that fuckin noise” lol, Battlecat did drop some nice mixes going on into the mid-late 90’s if I remember right

Now This Is What Defines A DJ😎 (Some Of Y'all Might Wanna Hit Replay🎥)

4:20 battlecat was vibing to his own scratches, he is a legend....

Here it is, this day exactly 1 year ago is when I was introduced to this art, and in a year I learned many things throughout this channel, rob swift, the jimmy smithson archives, and many more, props to all of you guys. Theres just something about seeing DJs compete for a world title and showing their particular style at the same time that gets me going, and 1 year ago my uncle showed me this video and I was blown away I said “wow that was fucking epic who knew somebody could do that with 2 records and 1 mixer” and little did I know he would show me a video of the 1990 new music seminar battle for world supremacy and it was brother jay vs Steve Dee, and once I got to Steve’s part I was… let’s just say speechless, and the rest is history. I wanna say thanks to all those legendary DJs that made this art and paved the way for turntablists today DJ Aladdin Miz Clark Kent Joe Cooley Steve Dee Rob swift Grandmaster flash Grandwizzard Theodore Tony tone Charlie chase Grandmixer D.St Red alert Jazzy Jeff Jazzy jay Grandmaster flowers Chuck chillout Marley marl Mixmaster mike Mix master ice Cutmaster DC Cash money Johnny juice Roc raida Mista sinista Total eclipse DJ Honda Apollo Q bert Shortkut D styles Babu Melo d J rocc Cut chemist Numark Z trip Kid koala DJ noize Cutmaster swift Pogo Cheese Cj mackcintosh Trix Richie rich Jam master jay DJ scratch Plazticman All of those names should be in the DJing hall of fame, well I just made one right now! Props to all the channels that provide an awesome piece of history for us to see and props to all those DJs up there that made it happen 🙏🏽✊🏾.

oh, just TRY to battle him. I Dare YOU!!!!! LOL

Let me find out my man had the Z Cavariches on 😂! And a Tie Die shirt! Salute DJ Battlecat!!! Helluva Dj & Producer!

You can get whiplash watching this cat on the cut! Peace!

Love that DOC part

Myyyyyyy bahhhh Dang!!! I miss the 90s Real Talk If Generation X go back and listen to some 90s hiphop they'll understand where I'm coming from. music today is all about the beat 90s music was about the music and lyrics RealTalk Poniboi Shelluv

Great Job Battlecat.... i peeped the haters.

He was smaller then that back in his tom and Jerry days when he was a dancer! R.i.p the homey dave!

And this was before anyone figured out how to make a proper scratch mixer.

number one!

Imma go on a limb and say ATCQ's '89 style had an impression on Cat

Amazing

Man I had a 12" by him Dj N Effect with scratching and mixing but nothing like what I just saw.Man he was really a battle dj.

He's a mster of the game .. funny guy at the end putting his dirty finger on his vinyl - back story on that one.. Red Alert got animated by that one

feeling those grooves on the vinyl... My mother was trying to sell my PDX-2000...if she wasn't my mother id kill her! 😂

This speaks more to me than the mumble rappers nowadays

O.G 1580 KDAY MIXMASTER.. SECOND OR THIRD GENERATION BUT STILL A WEST COAST PIONEER N GANGSTER!

Aww man...he hit'em wit dat Low Profile!!!

amazing.

Why is he cutting up with a corner of the mixer??? Aren’t the volume and crossfader knobs in the center?

low profile w/ the doc nice

Oh my god

Wow only 1000+ subs!? Shows how many ppl care about this stuff😟. Thanks for sharing!!

I liked this from Battlecat and remember us seeing this back in the day, Thanks for posting. Not sure how Baby G won over Steve Dee though, I guess using your foot impressed the judges instead of the innovation of beat juggling. Glad this is up and people can see it.
