Know Good Music

Posted: 19 Sep 2009 09:53 PM PDT

The first time I heard of Roc Raida was the 1994 DMC US Championships video which, incidentally, was the first DJ battle video I ever saw. DJ Ghetto gave him a run for his money but Raida had the best & most entertaining routine. Even though I never learned to juggle or do a bunch of crazy scratches that video taught me more about DJ'ing than anything else & Raida was the best cat on there. Needless to say, I was a fan.

Check his discography. It's probably deeper than you thought. I know I always forget that he has production credits under his belt. He was a pretty funny dude too. The skits on his mixtapes have to be some of the funniest skits of all time & I didn't think anybody would be able to compete with the level of comedy on Q-Bert's videos until I saw DJ Horse!

It's weird to think about Roc Raida being dead.
