Super Greg from the past

 A funny thing happened to me just now: when reading the name "greg" of some guy in the iNet in no particular context I remembered something my old buddy Matthias showed me, some great shit I first watched years ago, even before 2ooo I think, namely the funny character "Super Greg", a deliberately bad DJ, who caught my eye with a short video clip of himself performing as a DJ entitled "Da Number One". Furthermore there was a website with some nice pictures of him posing with his friends in his neighbourhood - www.supergreg.com/ - but unfortunately the site is down by now. The video clip can be watched further below.
