Who Gets The Coveted Top Spot Of Dee Jay’s

Hip Hop’s Iconic DJ’s. The impact that DJ’s had on hip-hop culture is undeniable. Often, rap artists get the recognition and accolades.

And, people forget it’s the DJ who sets the tone. In other words, the DJ prepares the crowd. Once the record spins the rapper goes in.

There are a few DJ’s who come to mind. For instance, Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jef fare a famous duo.

How could we deny DJ Jazzy Jeff impact on hip-hop music? According to XXL Mag, it was the DJ who was on the ground floor of hip-hop.

It was their responsibility to perfect a breakbeat to move the crowd. I can remember watching DJ’s rummaging through orange crates.

They searched for the right album to scratch and mix. Of course, it was DJ Kool Herc who introduced the two-turntable method.

 
That is why he is called the father of hip-hop. Further down the line, mixers and huge speakers were introduced.

This made the DJ’s job much easier. Also, the art of mixing has been enhanced by computer technology.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense to highlight DJ’s. Not to mention, it is the golden (50) anniversary of hip-hop.

We must not forget Grandmaster Flash, DJ Jam Master Jay, Afrika Bambaataa, DJ Premier, Kid Capri, , DJ Kay Slay, La La,, and DJ Spinderella.

 
More importantly, DJ Funkmaster Flex, DJ Khaled, DJ Cosmic Kev, are notably some of the best.

Additionally, DJ Enuff, DJ Clue, DJ Envy, DJ, DL E-40, Dj Lil John, Terminator X, all are a significant part of hip-hop culture.

Of course, there are too many names to mention. But you get my drift. Check out some of the DJ’s contribution.
