Anthony "Roc Raida" Williams / May 18, 1972 – September 19, 2009

2009-09-20T12:54:00.117-05:00

Finally mustering up the strength to write this. Jesus. I'm still in denial...

On Sept. 19, 2009, the world lost one of the most influential, inspiring and magical turntablists to ever grace the earth. In the VHS era, everyone scrambled to get a glimpse or copy of a DMC or ITF Battle tape to see what he was all about. Fortunately, I was one of the many thousands around the world to own a copy. This was my first look into the world of Turntablism and seeing Grandmaster Roc Raida in his prime...

Back in 1997, my brother bought a pair of SL-1200s and got a bootleg VHS tape of the 1994 DMC US Finals from our mutual friend Larry J. (never got a chance to say thanks for lending; here it is). As a 10 year old, I didn't have much to do but play outside, video games and homework. I can't recall the exact details of how I felt when I first watched that battle. However, I do remember numerous times where I'm eating breakfast, lunch or dinner by myself, I always popped in that videotape. It was my youth addiction and a monumental turning point in my life. I'll say it again, he was magical. I had a childhood obsession between Michael Jordan and Roc Raida. "Come Fly With Me" along with the "'94 DMC US Finals" were on heavy rotation almost every single day. At the time, they were completely the same in my eyes with just basketball and music being the differ. I'd compare Jordan's 87/88 dunk contest to Raida's body trick wizardry. They made the impossible, possible. Here are both of the sets:

Over the years to come, that videotape along with the 98 US Finals became the blueprint for my DJ foundation. I remember regrettably not being able attend the 99 DMC Washington DC which Roc Raida was judging and showcasing at. I think I might've been too young to get into the venue. I was so saddened and disappointed because I remember my older brother was able to go see our idol live. Either way, for a good 4 to 5 years I'd mimic the techniques he'd do in attempts to just one day, juggle or just even complete a pattern like he did. I couldn't...

Fast forward a couple years. After attending my first DMC in '01 and competing the following year, 2003 would be the time that I'd FINALLY get to meet my idol. A-Trak, Roc Raida & Total Eclipse were the headliners for the DMC Washington DC heat and this was my 2nd ever DMC in which I was terrified to say the least. Scared to the point where I had little bits of vomit I could feel coming up my mouth. I was never afraid of the crowd, more so because of such a legendary judging panel.

In the end, I felt a sense relief that I pulled my set off clean but truthfully, I was a bit angry that I didn't place higher (lol). Despite all that, I was ecstatic to finally see the "Grandmaster" perform in the flesh and it was definitely an event that I'll never forget. Seeing both Roc Raida & Total Eclipse on a tag-team set was a technique that could never duplicated by anyone else other than the remaining members of the "X". If you've ever been to an X-Ecutioner show, you'd know that this was their signature trademark and to me, engraved the crew as "uncanny" just like the comic book heroes themselves. I can't even number how many people I've met who became DJs strictly off the amazing visuals that Raida and the X-Men showcased.

However, it wasn't until 2006 that I finally met and got to know "Anthony". A loving family man, jokester and most importantly, one of the humblest people I've ever encountered. We became really close after the Gong Battle and was quick to reach out to me to provide me with opportunities to help further my DJ career. Everything from booking agents, an album through his label, publicity, the list goes on. I couldn't believe it. He was never arrogant, always hospitable. He was always on-call to share his guidance and wise insight about building longevity in this grimey biz. I still didn't know why he did all these gestures but I've come to learn that his love for Turntablism and the next-generation of turntablists/DJs was a deep part of him. Imagine your hero picking up the phone and calling YOU. I was always starstruck, still to this day. When someone inspires you an such an enormous level, especially from adolescence, the feelings never change.

I remember one of the first trips he brought me on was to London back in 2006 with Lord Sear. Myself and Raida got there first but Sear was stuck in Customs for like 5 hours. Raida and I felt bad for the dude but I remember us laughing about seeing Sear's facial expression when they finally let him go. Here's this big dude with a little ass backpack with a big ol' frown on his face. Sorry Sear, lol.

Although we had a close phone relationship, I was always more enthusiastic when we'd see each other in L.A. every year as well as the couple times I drove up to his place in Maryland. Hanging with Raida was always a full of laughter, every second of it. I'll never forget the first time I debuted my impersonation of him; the smirk was priceless. I went down the list at that point of all the people I could impersonate and overtime, he'd ask me to e-mail him different voices for various skits he was working on.

In conclusion, I felt it was necessary to incorporate my own personal dj time line, experiences and history into this eulogy. The man opened my eyes and moved me to do something that loved wholeheartedly so fucking much. I never got suspended from school thanks to DJ-ing. I never got arrested thanks to DJ-ing. I never committed suicide thanks to DJ-ing. I never got addicted to drugs thanks to DJ-ing. This was just one story but can you imagine the thousands of others that Roc Raida created? Thats what his legacy means to me. After proofreading this and just looking at the paragraphs above, I STILL CANNOT BELIEVE IT.

It was good to see so many honor Raida at his funeral: The whole X (Rob, Total, Sinista, Diamond J, Steve D, P, Blind), Grandwizard Theordore, Grandmaster Caz, DJ Premier, Fatman Scoop, Rahzel, JS-1, DJ Riz, DJ Enuff, DJ Camillo, Fatfingaz, DV One, Crazy Legs, DJ Cash Money, Busta Rhymes, Sean C, Rhettmatic, Babu, Mickey Factz, Large Professor, Fat Joe, Henley Halem, Christie-Z Pabon, Fabel Pabon, *Marilyn*, Sally (from DMC), Spictakular, Alex Aquino, Kid Capri, J-Smoke, Neil Armstrong, Kuttin Kandi, Daddy Dog, Roli Rho, Vlad, Tony Touch, Bobbito, Chela, DJ Scratch, Unknown, Sadat X, Lord Sear, Marcus, Shiftee, DP One, Cutfucious, Esquire, Dave-1 (of Chromeo), Grandmaster Supreme, Sugarcuts and whoever else I might've forgotten. May you all be safe and like Rob said be "happy" because thats what Raida would've wanted.

To Raida's mother Brenda, loving wife Tyeasha and his beautiful daughters Asia, Nyra and Tia. I can't thank you enough for the enormous unselfish gift you bestowed upon the thousands of people Raida showed his talents to. At the funeral, it killed me seeing the girls mourn the lost of their father at such a tender young age. In due time, I hope you find peace and comfort in reading that he changes lives beyond the walls of music. Ultimately, he lived to provide and give you all the best life that he possibly could.... that was cut short. The phone stops ringing, people forget over time, but I won't. The thing I loved about Raida is that he was a family man first and foremost. I was raised by a single mother so I know how difficult it'll be to take on such a task Tyeasha. However, It is our responsibility as a community to help maintain his legacy on an annual basis to help provide relief in whatever way we can to continue on that better life Raida consistently strived to give you.

The words above can never truly express how I really feel. I'm disappointed I couldn't give you more but this is the best I could do. I'm sorry Anthony. I'm still in pain. I never cried so much in my entire life. I will always be thankful for opportunities you've given me Anthony. Your eternal inspiration will continue to shine through the thousands of lives you changed; especially mine. I love and miss your friendship so much.

-Isaac

Solitude has arrived...

2008-08-26T11:39:00.001-05:00

iTunes | Amazon.com | CD

Isaac DeLima, aka DJ I-DEE, has carved out a name for himself in the world of scratch music, having already conquered the battle scene by winning three of its most prestigious titles--the Disco Mix Club (DMC) USA Supremacy, Scribble Jam and Gong World Supremacy--all within six months of each other and by the age of 19. Past winners include internationally recognized names including DJ Q-bert, Mixmaster Mike and DJ Craze. At age 20, he decided to leave his battle career behind and focus on creating new music by using the skills he developed as a deejay. And now, a seasoned DJ and performer at the age of 21, DJ I-DEE will release his debut full length album of original material SOLITUDE via Adiar Cor Records on August 26.

DJ I-DEE is constantly searching for new and innovative ways to blur the lines between genres. His winning performance at the DMC USA Supremacy saw him mix hip hop, hard rock, 80's pop and Darth Vader all while entertaining the crowd with his incredible stage presence. SOLITUDE connects with listeners on a musical level that's not strictly catering to hip-hop or turntablism fans but lovers of all genres. He honors the past with his style of producing, while still maintaining a new sound.

SOLITUDE features guest appearances by Royce Da 5'9", C-Rayz Walz, Ill Insanity, Tamu and Rites of Ash. One collaboration that isn't on the album is his stellar track with indie hip-hop's leading female rapper Jean Grae and South Florida-based rapper Wrekonize, "The Right." The samples on the track were not cleared for the album but the song can be downloaded at www.myspace.com/djidee. A take-off of the video game sample found throughout the song, the innovative video follows Wrekonize and Jean Grae trapped in a video game world. The video will premiere today, August 4 on I-DEE's MySpace page.

DJ I-DEE began his DJ career at the age of 10, growing up in suburban Washington DC, where he would sneak into his older brother's room and practiced scratching using his turntables when he was out of the house. He began battling in 2002, leading to his victories in 2006. Since retiring from battles, he has moved on to perform his signature sets, including live DVD mixing, around the world in places such as England, the Czech Republic, South America, Taiwan and China. DJ Q-bert recently said of I-DEE, "…just as b-boys are dancers, I-Dee reminds us that DJs are entertainers."

Obama on Father's Day
(Watch this first, then my response)

My Response/Story

I sit here on a Saturday evening, watching this speech for a 2nd time since Father's Day. It made me realize that I'm not in this fight alone and that there are many others like me. Actually, it reminded me rather more than realizing. Very refreshing. Now, as I type this, I take a deep breath for the next paragraphs to come. Before I continue any further, this is a terrifying ordeal for me and I can't believe I'm transcribing it from my mind to paper (let alone expressing it to the public). I'll try to keep it brief as possible...

During the 1960's (and still to this day), certain parts of South America were some of the most dangerous on the planet. Violent conditions, an extremely weak and poor police system, rapists, a vast amount of criminals with no conscience, etc. Like most immigrants, both of my parents struggled desperately in their own separate ways to make it into the United States. No education, growing up in poor living conditions, no ENGLISH, couldn't read or write, the list goes on. They started out taking the jobs that the average American would refuse to accept. At the time, my Mom was accepted into a household by a wonderful Polish-American couple from Martha's Vineyard who had recently relocated to the Washington D.C. area. They were able provide her with residence and a job cleaning houses. As far as my Dad, I really don't know much details other than him being a line-cook prior to him meeting my Mom. They both eventually earned their citizenship and embarked on the house-cleaning business together (again, both still learning to perfect English and could still barely read or write). Time goes by, I pop out in '87.

I lost the relationship with my father at about 8 or 9 years-old (a frail and tender age) due to a gut-wrenching divorce. A bitter and bizarre situation of adultery left myself and my half-brothers/sister scarred for life. From that point on, I was practically alone and the responsibility of raising me was put on a loving single mother. My only source of male guidance was from my older half-brother, David. I could never view him as a father which led to more responsibility put on my mother. Regardless, I heeded his advice almost every time (even when it wasn't the right solution, not knowingly) and never disrespected or disobeyed my mother. I spent the majority of my youth and teenage years trying my best live up to my mother's expectations on literally every single thing. During this process and without me knowing, my soul was actually seeking a major head start on adulthood (starting at the divorce). The huge amount of youth today lay the excuse of not having a father for every single action that they do. There were numerous times where I thought about putting myself into that overwhelming huge percentage but I chose not to. Actually, wait. I did do it at certain points in an attempt to hide my problems (bad idea). The point is, I understood from the get-go that my Dad never came to terms with the problems that he faced growing up and I couldn't let that cycle continue. Following this path though had some tough battles, set-backs and consequences that I'm still continuing to endure to this day: Isolation, depression, anxiety, living in my father's shadow, etc. Recently, I've taken the step towards towards rekindling the relationship with my father but in turn, only get very little success due to him putting his own issues in the back of his head for way too long and never trying to fix or even acknowledge them.

Love and conceiving are both a gift and privilege between two beings. I don't know what the latter part of that feels like but if I choose to have children, it's something I look forward to one day. I know I'll be full of emotion; scared, yet excited. But most importantly, I know the cycle will finally be at an end and my son/daughter won't see me as a parent but rather, their best friend. Thats the best gift any parent can give a child, the gift of ultimate friendship between the two and the ability to communicate about anything. Never try to relate to them based off your own experiences but rather, spend time and practice the patience to understand them and their feelings. I know it'll be hard to take certain situations personal but understand that in life, there is always going to be a generational gap. I cherish the struggle my parents endured and I hope that one day, my children will have an easier life than both myself and them combined. One things for sure, the journey will always be retold and embraced.

I commend Barack in his speeches for embracing the past. More importantly, I can relate to the frustration that I see in his eyes as he has to sugarcoat certain issues and can't be completely open because of the media. I can sense the pain and horrendous past that he had to overcome at a very young age. I'll admit, I had to sugarcoat certain stuff that was said above. Why? I really don't have time to do an entire life story about me. If you're really curious, pull me to the side privately. I do hope however that the information above can be beneficial in some way.

With life in general, don't let anyone hold you back from accomplishing your goals. That line has been used so many times so let me rephrase and reemphasize... Fuck everyone else, just do YOU. Seriously, FUCK EVERYONE and DO YOU!

Real talk :)

Thanks for reading.

Oh yeah, laughter is great!

My thoughts on Iron Man

2008-05-03T15:23:00.008-05:00

I went to see the sneak preview of Iron Man this past Thursday evening. After a day or two of absorbing the flick, I figured I'd finally get down to writing my thoughts on it (Being a super comic-book geek and all).

Prior to leaving for the theater, I checked RottenTomatoes.com and found that it was at an impressive 96% (currently 94%). I haven't felt this good about a superhero flick since Batman Begins. I knew Robert Downey Jr. would be the perfect casting choice but this reassured my faith in Jon Favreau towards bringing Tony Stark/Iron Man to life on the big screen.

I won't recap the entire film but I'll point out a few things. On a good note, I forgot all of the actors name's halfway through the movie and only saw them as their characters. Usually, thats a tough problem for me especially when watching a superhero flick with A-list actors. Robert Downey Jr. definitely gave me what I expected and assumed the playboy-ish/billionaire role of Tony Stark with ease. Gwyneth Paltrow's quirkiness was precisely what the character of Virginia "Pepper" Potts is and what she means to Tony Stark, as a human being. Terrence Howard supports his friend Tony, unconditionally. However, he'll have a much bigger role in the movies to come.

I never saw Jeff Bridges as a villain nor did I know much about Obediah Stane. After researching, I found that he did exactly what he was instructed to do by Favreau and did a damn good job at it. Plus, the bald head and beard helped. LOL.

Overall, the script was surprisingly strong and the entertainment/action level was well balanced. Definitely in my top 3 of best superhero films (along with Batman Begins & Spider-Man 2) but I won't say where it specifically ranks. It'll be cool to see War Machine and the Mandarin come to life in the movies to come as well as tackle Tony Stark's alcohol issues. Go see this movie and make sure to stay after the credits for a surprise bonus scene. I think I'll see it one more time.

Ponder

As I sat in my bathtub this morning, I started to reflect. Can I do it? Is it worth it at all? Is it too late?

It seems impossible to get rid of my love for music. Taking it away from me would be the equivalent of removing one of my vital organs. A parental figure has trouble seeing that.

I love my brother for never leaving my side and always having my back, 100%...

I need two more verses and a hook.
