No, I don't think digital vinyl killed the art of mixing. Digital vinyl can enhance what deejays can do so long as deejays don't get so dependent on the technology that skills decline. That being said, digital vinyl is killing vinyl. And as vinyl dies, so does a very big part of being a hip hop deejay. Ideally, the deejay world needs to find a nice balance of incorporating the available technology with the core elements of being a deejay (skills, music selection, digging etc...). Will we be able to do that? I guess that's up to us
re serato killing vinyl, i definitely buy less records than i used to, strated off d/l'ing all the stuff i already had on vinyl then started getting digital promos and being a lot more selective on what i paid money for, no more of those club bangers that are only hot for a few months that you often have to play as a dj...
As you listen to this incredible mix, remind yourself that it was made in 2002 (pre-Serato/digital vinyl era).

This mixtape actually dropped in 2002, and it's definitely a keeper. SBKINGZ-
Do you think Serato/digital vinyl killed the art of deejaying/mixing?

Supa Dave haven't "upgraded" Biggie too much. Maybe because Biggie is the illest :-)
