Dennis, is Da man. I loved the stuff he developed for NI. I'm happy to see him at Ableton.

The funny thing is, a lot of people outside of Philly thought that was all there was to Jeff. They thought he was just a sidekick to Will from the tv show, and the "popcorn" music videos.

Jeff is a kick ass DJ and producer. I still think him and DJ Cash Money are the two baddest Hip Hop DJ's on the planet, and both are from Philly!!!!

look at 1:15 and see who's scratching their head in amazement.. :mrgreen: and I was there and it wasn't even close to being one of Q's best shows.. but yeah, I idolized Cash Money and Jazzy Jeff growing up.. Cash money still does the same routine til now but jeff has stepped up his game.. great producer also..

I was lucky enough to be on the same lineup as him a few years back. Amazing DJ, and fantastic producer. Good to know he's a Live user too.

The way I heard the story back in the day, it was actually a dj from New York who invented it, but I would definitely say that Cash and Jeff took it to a whole other level.



According to Qbert, it was DJ Spinbad.

Most people forget that "that will smith song" with Jeff came before The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. But Jeff is a legend in his own right.

I was thinking the same thing. I keep checking the website. I would like to see what Jeff is doing with Live.
