Classic Rock Megamix, Hip-Hop Style (DJ Video)

If you’ve listened to any of my mixtapes I’ve always made it clear that Hip-Hop is about how something is packaged, not necessarily a finite genre. Here is another example. A live mix, with one turntable, of:

Richard Pryor “Insane”
Fab Five Freddy “Change the Beat” (Female Version)
Jimi Hendrix “Foxey Lady”
Led Zeppelin “Kashmir”
Eric Clapton “I Shot the Sheriff”
Pink Floyd “Breathe”

Equipment present: 2 Stanton c314 CD decks, 1 Stanton T60X turntable with Shure M25C cartridge, Stanton SMX201 mixer. Enjoy! The Stanton T60X has just replaced the wretched Gemini XL-DD50II I /was/ using.
