When I said that djing comps are ‘always flawed cause of wack judging,’ I wasn’t calling Raw, Alphabethead or Kerb ‘wack’- when i wrote it I had no idea who the judges were, and being that I wasn’t there the comment was aimed at Dj battles IN GENERAL and a reply to Jud’s comment, in which he gave a pretty firm opinion on the judges, decsion… note: ‘dj battles will always be flawed,’ not, ‘the 4-tek dj was flawed by wack judging.’
I was simply saying bad calls will ALWAYS be made in competitions.
On an extra note, I think some of the ILLEST djs in the world have made bad judging calls – so many factors can come into it – and they only get one chance to listen – its not like they can watch a replay and really cement their opinions like the person watching the video.
It is the nature of subjective ‘music’ competitions, and everyone (who has battled long enough) has had decsions go against them that could’ve gone the other way.

Korrect

What Ever Happened Happened yo and theres not much that can be done now personally i think everyone has sorta gone off track as to what the real purpose of all this has been about its not about Welly its Not about Auckland its just about keeping the Turntable Scene Alive going Forward but keeping things fair and true

I hope this Battle gets everyone Fired up for another Round of battles sometime in the Near Future it has definitley created a Fire Storm hahahahaha

DJ Manchoo

Shouts To RAW yo TOP DOGG Cuzzy

“it shouldn’t matter if DJ’s use their trump card every round”
Yes & No

If you were to compare it to a B-boy Battle, it would be like one guy comes out with some dope footwork and then the guy he is battling comes out & does a power move like headspin or flares and doesn’t really show any other style, the power move would most probably win, but if the same guy pulls out the same moves ever round by the time it gets to the final the moves are not as impressive.

For the record i judged the Final
Round # 1 = Manchoo
Round # 2 = Seer 1
Round # 3 = Manchoo
Tie Breaker = Manchoo

Alphabet & Kerb are well respected Dj’s and have nothing to gain by making Manchoo lose so I am putting this up to give you a different angle to look at cos they might have been looking for different things than i was looking for.

I watched the battle between Spell & Manchoo again on on Spell’s blog and its a lot close than i first thought, watching that you could easily say Spell was more funky and demonstrated more technique on both record & fader but on the night i went for Manchoo.

Again Im just putting this out there as none of the other judges have replied, all depends what your looking for style & finesse or speed & technique.

No matter what Manchoo is a true Champion and deserves all the accolades he achieved in his DJing and I’m glade he had the courage to come down and enter cos there are a lot of other Djs, younger and older that should be entering if they want to keep the scene elevating and alive.

Props to all the DJ’s that entered. At the end of the day, hip-hop is the winner here!
