From Jimmy Smithson comes the cleanest footage, by far, of the 1989 DMC American Mixing Finals, the Riviera, Chicago. Perhaps the greatest battle of all time, Aladdin and Miz were at a totally different level than the other competitors that evening, and it came down to the final two sets of the battle to determine who would reign supreme.
1989 got to be the year of the dj with some of the best djs of all time at there best dj jazzy Jeff, cash money, dj magic Mike, Mr mixx(2 live crew) dj premier, dj scratch, jam master j, dj joe cooley, dj spinbad, chuck chillout, mixmater ice, too tuff, dj supreme, dj man, terminator x, Clark kent, the list goes on I miss when every rapper had a dj to scratch his back for him to me the dj what made rap/hiphop bring the dj back loved the 80s

I feel like Aladdin should have won the world seminar battle too
One of the best dj battle I ever seen.
