Crazy B — 1998 DMC World Eliminations

Legendary four-time DMC World runner-up Crazy B smokes the decks on home turf at the 1998 DMC World Eliminations, Paris, France. This performance netted Crazy B the #3 seed entering the Finals, behind only Craze and Lil' Jaz.

Remember this, it was in Paris and the crowd were mad for all the French DJ's but Craze just skool everyone and A Tracks fader knob flew off.

Do you know how many World Finals Crazy B featured in altogether, if you include the one on one battle and the team battle? Wasn't it every year, from '92 to '02? I was glad he finally got a DMC World Title in '02, with Birdy Nam Nam. Actually, didn't he get the ITF World Title in '00 as well, with the Scratch Action Hiros? I think he was even in the European DMC Final Eliminations, way back in 1990, because his name is on the back of the tape. If it was him, he didn't make it to the Final. He's older than he looks. I think he's 52 now.

I wonder who holds the record for the most 2nd place finishes in big battles? I know DJ Pogo finished second in 3 UK DMC Finals, 2 European DMC Finals, and one ITF Eastern Hemisphere Advancement Final, so it could be him.

Here's some more trivia: Did you know that Roc Raida's name came from the fact that one of his friends said his head looked like a radiator? That must've been a funny-looking radiator!

Hey, does anyone know the name of the beat from the start of this set?
