Q bert and Appolo met me at my hotel in San Fransisco and gave me the first Edition to the Records they made...strictly for battle purposes. They were the first....I can vouch for them.

This the best from the Bay. I grew up with Qbert and a bunch of folks from Balboa High. Plus H2 has been a good friend of mine since Jr High. To this day all these guys are masters at their craft.

look at the mixers they were killing it with..unreal

I remember when we were all DJing back in the late 80's at Imagine and in the caff at Balboa. They (Qbert and MixMaster Mike) have always had mad talent. Mad props to "LiveStyle Productions, Sound Invasion, MixMaster Mike, Dj Apollo, Mind Motion, Lada Sounds and of course us Majestical Productions. The Bay Dj's have always set the standard.

I had this on VHS..good times!

I remember watching this and always hoping it would shore up one day! Thanks for uploading it.

I'm still trying to find the one when we were on there performing with T-MOR and Eddie Def this was a good post I remember we all use to kick it big around this time big up to OG Dominique.

this performance never fails to give goosebumps. Shit is clean!

it defiantly shows how free form hip hop really is

Dominique DiPrima represented the Bay very well, brought light to all these marginalized multicultural voices, was ahead of her time!

I went to school w/ all these guys. Qbert used to live by top of the hill Daly City. Mike and I went to Westmoor High together. Man, Mike,Danny and I used to kick it at Mike's mom's apartment by SerraMonte mall till the wee hours. We would just make music, smoke weend and drink 40's. Those were the days. Big Ups for posting this video. It brought back a lot of memories.

I've seen this when it was aired and did record it on VHS..met Q later in the 90's..

Thanks to this, I never have to see any other youtube videos of DJ's ever again. Because everything is right in here.

I got more videos coming from back in the day... Follow me @DaveDynamix at Instagram

haha dayemn, you finally post the classic ish, i remember this, LOL!

I loved watching Home Turf back in the day, saturday mornings...thanks for posting this classic vid...Bay Area represent!!

It all started with the classic 1200's!

Thanks for this Dave Dynamix. Is that really '92? If so, their whole aesthetic from the scratch to the rhymes has the jump on the whole backpack movement by at least five years.

True pioneers

I used to have the FM20 demo tape but it got eaten while I was in the process of recording it to my PC. It was some real aggro heavy metal shit, Paris meets Hijack or something, with way too much scratching. Somebody else must have that. Also someone needs to make a documentary about the golden age of Filipino mullets. Or maybe just about mobile DJ crews, that would have plenty of mullets.

HOLY CLASSIC!! I had this on VHS toooo. someone had to borrow it and it disappeared...

Still got their demo in the tape archive🔥

This is HISTORY. that´s all.

SIC HEAD OF THEIR TIME, THIS IS SO SIC. RESPECT

actually they been around since 83..especially apollo and mixmaster mike,the bay area had alot of dope dj"s why do think "turntablism "started here

q... you should start sporting that stache again, son!

damn man Q puts in work!

notice that these are pre-skipless vinyl

ty ty ty this is classic stuff! is this before DMC? or after? as u can see here, they have some new tricks that they didnt perform at DMC - that is why they boycotted them!
