This is one of the foundation stones of modern comics.ĭealbreakers: It's in black and white. Especially if you want to read the "classics" in the genre. Or I find that I remember them differently than they really are. A lot of things I read from 20 years ago seem really dated. It holds up amazingly well given that it's over 20 years old. The first time I read it, I didn't know any of that. Needless to say, this is a *huge* change from the 60's style of superhero comic where people were constantly flying around and thinking stupid things to themselves like, "It's a good thing I can use my freeze breath to stop this forest fire!"

Includes unlimited streaming of 5 Fingers of Death Battle Breaks Vol.1-4 A little reminder of what made that time in history special for so many.”

This record now is a nostalgic return to these days for me. Those first couple of hundred quickly turned into a thousand. I pressed up the first couple of hundred copies of Five Fingers Of Death Battle Breaks complete with a sticker on the shrinkwrap containing Q’s quote. His immediate response was, “Holy shit! I love that record!” I said back to him: “Can I quote you on that?” I remember when QBert found out I had made that record. It was also around this time that I had discovered that these guys were giving a lot of play to an independently pressed beat record I had made before leaving NY.“Fists of the White Lotus” was originally on an instrumental EP I did with my mentor Joey T on his Empire Records label (Beats Anonymous Vol.1). Needless to say, I was completely amazed and overwhelmed with what DJs like QBert, Shortcut, Apollo and Mixmaster Mike were doing. In other words, the science of scratching was not something I was even contemplating. Having recently moved to California from New York, Paul’s turntable aesthetics were strictly 80’s East Coast and was more concerned with “catching doubles” (beat juggling) and overall party rocking. The term “turntablist”, coined by DJ Disk, had yet to really catch on outside of the Bay Area scratch fraternity. “I released the original 12” volume of Five Fingers Of Death Battle Breaks way back in 1998, while I was living in Oakland and then San Francisco during a time of incredible movement and creativity within the suddenly exploding Scratch DJ scene. (INCLUDES IMMEDIATE DOWNLOAD OF "5 FINGERS OF DEATH" VOLs 1-4) Side A features more proper sounds, stabs & juicy FX than any scratch DJ will ever need, while Side B features an extended edit of Paul's now classic "Fists of the White Lotus" beat - which has become a scratch standard the world over, thanks to DJ's like Q-Bert, Rob Swift, etc. Limited edition, 7" vinyl version of Paul's successful DJ battle break series.
