Damn A-Trak, I Cried Reading This.
Like So Many Kids Around Tha World
It Was 95 Too When I First Really Took Notice Of
The Legendary Grandmaster Roc Raida.
Me & My DJ Friends Loved That Cat, He Had The Dopest Name,
The Tightest Cuts, Fades & Scratches, He Beat Juggled Like
A Muthaf*cker. I Saw Him With The Beatnuts & Craze Here In Adelaide
A Few Yearz Back, He Was Tha Highlight Of My Night
Just Seeing Him Cuttin Up LL’s 12’s Like It Was ‘95
It’s Funny Coz The “I’m Bad” Single Was The First Record I Ever
Bought Back In ‘95 For Like $5 At A Second Hand Record Store.
BIG UP TO ALL HIP-HOP DJs & TURNTABLISTS WORLDWIDE

R.I.P. to Raida, my original Turntablism idol, from when I bought my first DMC video tape, back in ‘95.

I may not exactly feel your pain, but I do understand how you feel. Roc Raida was a great inspiration. And I admire your eulogy for him.

Dude actually I definitely look up to you for inspiration even though I think I am older than you lol but still this reminds me of my passion I have for djing and the way I looked up to you as a young DJ grinding your way to the top. Only time I met you was through that interview on The Breakdown TV I did with you up in Cleveland,OH in like 2007 I want to say. You were very cool about it an we confirmed it via myspace. Still got the footage (actually uploaded like last week on facebook if you haven’t seen it yet haha or wanted to see it my name on facebook is Noetik Edutainment) even though it seemed we both were nervous at some points in it.I meant to tell you that was my first ever done interview with an artist on that video music show. Peace and thanks! Now I have somewhat of a story to tell my peoples & kids about you. But right now this is about Roc Raida and he was for sure an inspiration to all.

Yo A-Trak..

that was a real insight….

Raida inspired me also when at 15 to get into the whole body tricks and nice switched up juggle routines.. he had mad flow and also rocked some real nice mixtapes !.

I remember going to see him in my home town, Manchester UK, and when I caught him outside and after a small chat just asked him where horse was tonight.. he just laughed hard and said” I cant believe Ive flown so far and someones askin about where horse is!”

A cool guy and a real shame on his passing.

Please Rest Peacefully Grandmaster Roc Raida..!
A TRUE INFLUENCE TO MY MUSIC!

Thanks for sharing those stories! I met him twice in Paris: once with D.I.T.C., once while I was opening for Busta Rhymes! He was such a cool dude, and one of the most talented DJ ever!
R.I.P. Grandmaster Roc Raida! We will miss you!
