Grandmaster Beamz DJ Fail (Summarized)

I first got exposed to Beamz and it's so called "legendary DJ" endorser a few days ago. After watching the initial demo of the Beamz DJ device I had to try to figure what in the DJ world was going on here. Although I quickly found out that the device is actually real (flo ride informercial, it's sold on ebay) it took me a few hours to find out who the endorsor, Grandmaster Jay, really was. At first his youtube and wikipedia page was filled with obscure Hip Hop information that only a hiphopa would know so it made me wonder if this character was real? is this dude a liar? or is this all a big joke? I found out that this Beamz/Grand master Jay episode was part real, part fake, part sad and part funny as shit. After a few hours of research online I went back to re-read his fake wikipedia page but thanks to the help of DJ Jazzy Jeff exposing him around the same time, when I came back to his wiki page it was nearly wiped free (it's back with an abundance of career highlight 11/3/13).

I decided to compile a bunch of videos and material in order to create what has become this video. Initially I put this together for my high school DJ class, I thought it would a good way to address what hard work yields as opposed to taking the 15 minutes of route. I did not plan on putting it on youtube because I did not want to add to "grandmaster jay's" legacy. However, I believe that this video will inform anyone curious about "Beamz/Grandmaster Jay" in 10 minutes or less. You won't have to do hours of research that I had to do in order to find peace of mind. For the record I am not taking this too serious. If this is a joke (it's pretty hilarious) I believe this fraud took it too far. First, by not only biting a routine but also letting the names of legends come out of his mouth. I hope this makes you think about what is real versus what is fake. I also hope this makes you question the next arrogant superstar.
