Kid Capri is the man, no contest, game over, thanks for coming, good night.
 
I honestly forgot about Kid Capri he certainly ranks up there. I remember seeing him first perform at the Apollo.
 
jazzy jeff
q-bert
mixmaster mike
ron g
j-rocc

i have more but you only wanted 5
 
I can only think of 4 that was rockin the 1's & 2's in the 80's when i tunned in the airways.

1 Red Alert
2 Marly Marl
3 Chuck Chillout
4 Funk Master Flex around back in 1989
 
 
 
1. Jazzy Jeff (The Man, hands down)
2. Kiiiiiiiiiid Capri
3. DJ Premier (H town stand up!, well actually Praire View)
4. DJ Silver Spinner (UTFO)
5. Def Jam Blaster
 
Kid capri
Jazzy Jeff
Grandmaster flash
Jam master jay
DJ cash money





would be unfair to rank them
 
 
Even Though Grandmaster Flash has been around for many years, I dont think his scratching skills are all that. Jazzy jeff has better scratching and hes also better than kid capri.
 
GM Flash may not have the best skills but he was there when it all began... experimenting with breaks and looping with 2 and 3 decks...

Problem is we have become far to critical as the 'science' - as Flash calls it - has evolved.

He can still rock a party and can mix all genres. Saw him mix live on TV here in the UK just this weekend and yes I have seen better skills but I really enjoyed his choice of tracks and the transitions... some I might even try myself...

Cheers,

Roy

There are clips on YouTube of this (currently) unique broadcast - 6 hours non stop (no commercials), 6 DJs.

Just search for Channel 4 House Party.

DJs were: Grandmaster Flash, Annie Mac, Erick Morillo, A-Track, Soul II Soul, Horse Meat Disco.
 
Jazzy Jeff

That is all. His scratching and juggling are second to none. His tune selection is amazing.

I love Jazzy Jeff.
