A man whose radical skills in mixing reformed the turntable is, Grandmaster Flash. As the architect of the quick-mix theory, which is the extended play of the breakbeat, Flash's DJ sets are notorious for shaking crowds! His early days playing at house and block parties for big-time house rockers Kurtis Blow and Lovebug Starski led to his most famed act, Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five. Flash's impeccable technique for the art of djing has earned him a place in the holy triad of hip-hop.

The style was popularized by hip-hop musicians in the 1990s.
It is often claimed the style originated from the United States prison system where belts are sometimes prohibited due to fear that they could be used as a makeshift weapon, and there can be a lack of appropriately sized clothing. As a result, their pants would sag.

Know Your Hip-Hop Pioneers: DJ Jazzy Joyce
Tumblr media
In the early stages of hip-hop, the art of DJing was dominated by men. DJ Jazzy Joyce is among the first batch of well-known female disc jockeys in the culture of hip-hop. She was actually the voice of the 1984 Tommy Boy Records hit by G.L.O.B.E & Whiz Kid, "Play That Beat Mr. DJ". Jazzy is best recognized for rockin' the funky beat on Sweet Tee's 1986 single, "It's My Beat". As her cuts embraced Digable Planet's "9th Wonder", DJ Jazzy Joyce is globally respected as an idol of the art of DJing.
