Dj cash money my all time fav dj...

Surprised I'm just seeing this... Rob, you're a treasure for curating the history of this culture in such a humble, authentic and especially scholarly fashion... Cash Money has a been in my top 5 ever since I heard him as a kid... absolutely LEGENDARY....

...I had to stop at around 42 mins in because I did not think Cash was goin' to go into THAT!!! LOL...I get butterflies in my stomach every time I heard a piece of this story! That transformer scratch "back story" is just amazing: how did it develop, who invented it, who introduced it to the world on wax first, etc, etc?

1984 The year DJ BATTLE HISTORY WAS CEMENTED. I traveled from Willingboro NJ to many parties where either Cash, Rasheen, Spinbad and Jeff were at, there were many other DJ's around also. Many parties turned into after party dj battles lol It was about DJ's having fun but showcasing their skills so many records that had certain breaks in them. If you took the time prior to a battle to study the records and become part of the band on that record then you made and solidified your creativity. Being versatile is a plus. Country records had breaks, jazz records had breaks, international records had breaks, it was just how you flipped it during your routine. I must say battled the best in Philly during 1984 to 1985 on those Friday and Saturday nights was worth the trips down there. My Aunt June that lived on Westminster laughed about my homemade backpack of records and my sandwich bag of Stanton and Pickering phono cartridges. And those turntables were either left or right of the mixer, paired. Not too many DJ's have any idea of how to scratch with one hand. Rasheen is my dude he invented the mixer in the middle idea along with Cash. Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpens Iron. We as a whole questioned, encouraged, couched, and challenged each other to bring out the best of God Given Skills. DJ Rob Swift we battled on several stages even in record stores while digging for records lol to see who could find the break to juggle. Yes DJ'ing saved many of our lives opened many doors fed and still is putting food on the table. We became friends even from being from different places in the world. To the future DJ's learn, listen, absorb and be humble never be afraid to showcase your skills. Much Respect to The Foundation of DJ's 1970's to the mid 1990's add your name the list is very long because every dj WORKED HARD TO MASTER THEIR CRAFT. AND YES THAT GEMINI MIXER WAS THE TRUTH and they had one with an echo knob ! Create your own style it is all about the music. And try not to be a "celebrity dj"....

Also even though Cash Money Pioneered the transformer scratch, I give mad respect to Grand Dragon K.D. and Jazzy Jeff, for even representing the transformer scratch on different levels as well. Mad love and respect to Philly.

I am a teacher in marketing on a university and DJ in my spare time. I watched many video's of Rob teaching about DJing, scratching and hip hop history. So many people might laugh or couldn't believe this as a serious minor or major but if you watch this, Rob really lifts it to an academic level. Unbelievable and deep respect for passing the knowledge like this! 🙏

Ogz in tha game .. RESPECT❤❤

That had the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. God Bless.

Thanks - two if my favorite DJs in one room!!

Legend and DJ God...thanks Rob for another top interview, a very humble guy...look forward to his documentary....thanks for spreading the knowledge Rob...you know the history,keep us educated brother ...greets from Ireland 😁

One of...if not the best who ever did it...and, madd humble. Salute

Imagine enrolling on a DJ Course and Cash Money turns up at one of the weekly sessions to do a talk. Now that would be amazing! I live in the U.k and if able, I would sign up to classes in a heartbeat. Also I brought tickets to see Cash Money in 1988 Bristol England U.K but I think Cash was unable to get into the country at the time, I was only 16 years old. But we still know the Mighty Hard Rocker Cash Money reigns supreme and is a legend over here to this day for what he has given to Hip Hop!

This is Education for me🙏🏽

I’m late to the party watching this video, but I was already aware of some of the history with the transformer scratch and Cash and Jeff. I wasn’t expecting Cash to mention the issue he had with Jeff, but I can understand. Both of those guys are some of my favorite DJ’s to watch. It would be incredible to be able to see them both on the same stage. Not to battle, but to do a routine together. That would be sooooo ill. Holla.

1:03:07 - "What scratch was that? I ain't never heard that shit before!" Shit like that is one of the many reasons why I love this culture so much...

thankyou for helping this valuable information to finally be told and allowing this legendary master dj tell his story this is very powerful information and long over due thanks again .

Top notch here Rob... Bringing in the legends!

No doubt Cash should get the credit he deserves.

Yo I remember the whole vibe after he won the seminar I followed him not only thru his album & singles but his mix tapes were bananas with Marvelous live killing it. saw them in the bay got that signature my friend put up his green Nikes that Cash had on the ugly people be quiet cover and he tagged them up he has blessed this art Thank you salute peace respect & keep on truckin great show hit em with more schooling Rob

Upload like this one is what makes me love the internet

Wow that was so dope!

Always add, the evolution is revolutionary. Keep on spinnin thenm records. Much respect.

THANK YOU BOTH! 😊💯✌🏻

The intro was touching, brilliant

Thank you Rob, for posting this session for the world to see and learn. You're doing great things and keeping the spirit of DJing alive with your school and open dialogue.

Another nice lesson. Thanks for keeping me in the loop through this platform. Much love for that.

Thanks for the great interview and thanks on touching on the spiritual side of hip hop which is never ever mentioned.

Big facts, we didn't know who it was on scratching to the funk back then but we knew it wasn't Marley!

Cash 💰 speaking the truth.

The mighty hard rocker!

This Blew me away......Thank You Rob

Great video keep up the good work Dj SpinBad invented the transformer. Rasheen,Cash,& Jeff upgraded it

Respect! ✊🏿

Another excellent interview Rob and again, I'm learning new information about our pioneering DJs, that I never knew before. And it's very unfortunate that Cash Money until now, hasn't received credit that he deserves, for his transformer scratch and, it's time for him to receive his credit for his talents now. It's also extremely unfortunate that, what I consider to be the arts & crafts of scratching to be both disrespected and, pushed further into the background, by those who either don't care or, ignore it completely as well. But above all that, pioneering DJs like, Cash Money and others who continue to show their jaw dropping scratching skills, should keep pushing harder to make both the unappreciative EDM artists, and the lesser skilled DJs, respect and recognize the creative aspects of the scratching aspect of DJing, So mad respect to you Rob, for first showing others to express themselves through DJing, and for giving us insightful information through interviews of the highly respected and, the unsung DJs of our time. So keep up the good work, peace!

Thank you for posting this Rob

I want to say thank you for this; this was soooo needed an very humbling of you an the things that you shared. Keep up the great work!!!!! Love those slip mats.

Legendary ,nuff said

Todah Ahki Rob 4 postin' this. Wish i coulda been there. I've been listenin' 2 Ca$h since 198-freekin'4!! He'z my all time favrit DJ 4 3 reasonz. 1st off he'z damn nasty & alwayz haz been. 2. He'z a humble, appreciative, down 2 earth kat, even tho he haz evry rite 2 B arrogant az fudg!! & 3. I have indirect personal history with him. He used to kut at my cousin'z house in Hammonton, NJ (Eddie Jenkins) back B4 the records & the world wide fame. I used to bring those cassettes of Ca$h cutN bak 2 the hood in Queens, B it Jamaica, or Hollis/St.Albans, Especially at Shake's house, (Boogie Boy 4 The Dynamic Breakers) even blowin' DJ Klark Kent away 1 night he happened 2 B passin' thru, & I wuz the man! The same way I wuz the man in Jersey 4 bringin' the latest bangN tunez & kutz from NY radio & parties that allowed me permission 2 ride on my cousin's team bus when they had away wrestlin' matches & i would get the team hype with wut wuz pumpin' out my boom box. Ca$h tho....WHOOO! Ca$h wuz rippin' the standardz yea...but he'd cut up Richard Pryor ("Don't give a Sh*t!"), Eddie Murphy ("Kick yo ass!") & wutever else wuz outta the ordinary & make it hela funky. So yea. Xcellent post m'man. I laughed, i cried...& am damn proud of both of U. I pray 1 day i run in2 U again, like i did a few yearz bak in the late 90z at the Post Office on 33rd St & 8th. & i'll start up a convo the same way i did bak then, but this time drop sum crazy knowledge on U that i'm sure U'll appreciate. I can tell U & Ca$h the EXACT reason the Hip Hop DJ culture iz underappreciated, & undermined here in the statez, & itz part of sumN thatz comin' that we all need 2 prepare 4. & no i'm not "1 a THEM..." crazeez. LoL. Itz just that while U followed Ur passion of DJ'in, I listened & loved it, but I followed my passion of seekin' FACTUAL TRUTHS, & have studied THAT about az long az i've heard & followed Ca$h Money. & The same way Ca$h haz a Documentary about his life, I have Documentaries about TRUTH. & i wanna share them with my brethren, the same way i wanna hear y'all stories. So...keep up the good work, & May The Most High YAH bless both U & Ca$h. & YAH willing we'll cross paths. Shalom.

Cash finally tells his story

There's already a Cash Money, already a Grand Master Flash. Who are going to be? Thanks for posting Rob.

dope as usual rob.

Spinbad did call it the Transformer scratch.& he did it the way CASH showed us. I have a cassette i will eventually post of Force5 SpinBad old group.I know his emcee personally.& i was in the Marines with KoolBreezeSteve Cash s emcee who he gives credit to giving it the name. By no doubt Cash is 1 of my favorites . Eventho every1 owes THEODORE A CHECK. FLASH & MY BRO RASHEEN

Man I can’t thank you enough for sharing this!!!! So dope!!!

Indeed!

53:53 perfect words. Same thing here in europe

Note 22:14 actually Grand Dragon K.D. was the first to transform on wax. He was Steady B's dj on Bring The Beat Back

Did Cash gain that "Grandmaster" title as of yet? He IS already one without even mentioning...Philly's Phinest!!!

No dislikes

On my playlist i hv alot of info

I'm 51 yes old I've been watching him when he started when I see do that I feel like a young kid seeing it for the first there are a lot of great djs in our time but he seems to put his own twist on everything so he sounds like nobody else ,that is why they call him the g.o.a.t what other dj is in the African American Museum in Washington. DC. Philly in the house.

The 'drag' scratch name is confusing for many dj's who were active before people started claiming & naming scratches. Scratching to the funk also has an early example of scratching using the audio which was reversed when the dj was back cueing.The reversed audio was not normally used . Robbie B & Jazzy J - Rock the go go was also another very influential track for djs .Jazzy J was reverse scratching the oh my god phrase which was on Cold Crush Brothers - Punk Rock Rap or Doug e fresh- the show. Using the reverse audio signal unleashed more expressive & complex scratch patterns. Jazzy J is un-credited with expanding & advancing the reverse audio scratch techniques , his dj name also conflicted with Jazzy Jay of the Zulu nation.

There’s a whole other rap tsunami

Rob, I'm interested to know what type of feedback did you get from Cash Money on doing this interview that allowed him to tell his story.

What's the name of the scratch at 1:01? I've never seen that! Salute that man, real talk.

Rob, has Spinbad ever been interviewed? Are there pics/video of him or is was he just an accidental hero of sorts in Philly?

Cash is pioneered making the record burp. It’s not called drag scratch

It's criminal how we've robbed DJ's of what they were owed

HOLD THE PHUCK UP??? @ around 1:02:00 in...that SCRATCH??? Looks like he "shuffleboarding"...playin' wit' a Yo-Yo throw'n it out 'n reel'n it back in wit' the gate/transform! THE BROTHA IS DEFINITELY STILL "NON-GMO"...All Natural Flavors 'N Preservatives!!!

When you invite a legend to talk... and you talk 95% of time instead of him... what a shame...

I saw both Ca$h and Jeff rock live growing up in Philly, and they were equally matched. Marvelous was definitely iller than Will.🤣 I'll tell you what though, if Mantronix stuck with Sleeping Bag and co-produced Ca$h & Marvelous, they would've been some stiff competition for Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince. 🗣🎚🎛🎶
