Heavy in Dem New York Streets like Whoa!!!! By @whitegoldtarantula
S/O to the homie @djfatfingaznyc in our #Belly hoodie last night at @fatbuddhabar with @boogieblind @djaybuddah and @realhgreindstein #xmen #xecutioners #bangkokinvaders #thaitanium #heavyhitters #theheavyhitters #shadyvilledjs #djaybuddah #runbkk #bangkokinvadersdjacademy
X-MEN似乎在Roc Raida RIP走了之後讓Rob Swift重回團體，近年也再次活動起來，這次拉回了早期的老夥伴Mista Sinista也是他一直以來的好兄弟，兩人練習了新的段子準備在紐約的Crown Station打展身手。
雖然活動再開，但很明顯Total Eclipse跟Precision在地域跟行程上沒有配合到，住太遠無法一起練習等問題，X-MEN跟Skratch Piklz都有可能會依行程有不同的成員演出，Skratch Piklz的段子因成員內容多固定而沒有問題，接下來就看Rob Swift帶領的兩人組能帶給大家什麼新驚奇了。
X Ecutioners On St Patty's Day will be catchin' bodies at Charlotte, NC's Crown Station.

Rob Swift的長篇大論又來了，這次主題是"唱盤主義已死，但..."
說重點
唱盤有過他的美好時光，但時代隨時間改變，ig、臉書、臥房直播跟等待每年的dmc跟紅牛比賽在自己城市舉辦，人口流失沒了興趣。
雖有"唱盤主義已死"說法，但結合新世代年輕唱盤冠軍DJ Rena/Kool fresh跟各種轉盤人活動企劃合作也許可以刺激新世代離開在宅去外體驗活動。
影片是當年多數饒舌歌手活動以外全數唱盤DJ的活動，雖然他們賣光票了，但其他日子沒有機會，唱片工業遏殺唱盤DJ，被自動播放機跟饒舌歌手取代，當年情況也是很糟且每況愈下。
最後他跟Mista Sinista要復出以Da Odd Couple(主辦還是寫X戰警，因為比較知名，但近來另兩名舊成員沒一起活動也是讓外人看的很爭議)名義做雙人唱盤主義玩法做巡迴演出。
X戰警完成了90s的任務，但兩老仍要肩負起推廣他們熟悉的老學校手法唱盤主義，展開新的唱盤之旅。
"Turntablism" in the traditional sense of the word has seen better days. Witnessing authentic turntable artistry live, in person, has been reduced to a 60 second long instagram/facebook post that's recorded from a DJ's bedroom. For remaining fans of the art to experience this specific genre of DJing live, they have to wait a full year for a competition like the #DMC or #RedBull3Style to PROBABLY come to their city.
Some might argue the age demographic of up and coming "Tablists" like Rena, Kool Flash and Olivia contradicts the notion that "Turntablism" is dying. But the truth of it is, unless "Tablists" and promoters figure out ways to work together with the intent of presenting events (not just DJ battles) that will inspire music fans to leave the comfort of their homes to attend, "Turntablism" will die! Perhaps death is the best thing that could happen to #Turntablism though.
The video you're watching was filmed in 1997. During what many coin the "Golden Era" of "Turntablism". Z Trip, DJ Quest (Bullet Proof Skrach Hamsters), D Styles (Invisibl Skratch Piklz), and Roc4Raida, Mista Sinista and myself (X-men) were booked on the same bill that night. We sold out a performance theatre in downtown Seattle. Events like this were taking place on a monthly basis all over the country despite the trend by rappers to replace Djs with Instant Replay machines at their concerts. Industry always kills the artist. We saw it go down back then, and y'all are seeing the same scenario play itself out in the present.
What's interesting is the disconnect that was created between Turntablism and Hip Hop leading up to the filming of this video facilitated the perfect environment for us to redefine the craft of DJing and ourselves as artists. In doing, so we shaped an entirely new fan base.
The X did their part to contribute to the resurgence of DJ art back in the 90s and in this new millennial summer we're taking on the responsibility of resuscitating "Turntablism" once again.
