DJ QBert Battle - Lamb Chops

DJ QBert Battle - "Do It Yourself" instructional video - Lamb Chops

[@kfredericks1]

DJ-ing is not a perfect art, what I mean by that is the DJ's have to make so many corrections, most of which we will never hear if they're as good as QBert and still keep the beat perfect... Imagine how many calculations your brain has to make to process all that info so quickly... Truly amazing and excellent vid...

[@expironec]

all those years later... and still makes me smile

[@dbhoy07]

Any time a friend mentions they're stoned I show them this

[@Garrett.1111]

Yes.

[@jimb0w]

dj qbert tracks never gets old! ;D

[@mosthated863]

I seen this 3 years ago was just surfing KZbin because I wanted to see wave twisters and now cruzing this and recent interviews to catch up on the master Q. Dude will always be a legend to me for as long as I live

[@DjRavine]

I'm tripping out to this

[@LukeArmitstead]

DJ Qbert needs to bring back everything....!!!!! This is what hip hop needs now....

[@trix1227]

This more than ever

the smoking santa kung fu bunny🐰

[@j0bey1]

The section starting at 5:18 - 5:33 is something I always come back to. I once recorded it to use it as my phones ringtone. Absolutely phenomenal cuts. Still blows my mind, even to this day. Edit: I've just searched down the thread and realised I made pretty much this exact same comment 7 years ago. :)

[@lorikarson7160]

Si so true

[@luedey7704]

The section on 2:55 has always been one of my favorites

[@chefpunjab]

You knows its real good if you commented 2wice.

[@MrLince-hr4of]

@@chefpunjab and real stoned🤣

[@luedey7704]

12 years later and this still rips. 2:56 😍

[@nicksmith6629]

Holy shit... this was 13 years ago I'm old af!

[@lilteereviews]

Still firmly believe QBert is the best scratch DJ on the planet.. as far as equipment goes I find 1210's are just as good, a lot of the pros use them

[@lukewb6870]

I’m gona have this played at my funeral. In 2103 it’ll still be a banger

[@JoeEnigma]

Just arrived home from a Q-bert Gig in Oslo, it was damn awesome, NO ONE is as good as Q

[@punxone]

It's mind bending to consider how all that cool is being safely contained by this video!

[@Lefty_Knox13]

This "cat" along with Jazzy Jeff is, and always will be the best scratch djs alive! These new dudes just make alot of noise. 😂!

[@eddieramos477]

You haven’t heard of toadstyle?

[@KINGTRAGIC1]

You obviously know nothing about the artform

[@Lefty_Knox13]

@@KINGTRAGIC1 you’re right I’m old school. This new stuff sounds like crap. 😂

[@henrybautista8524]

Listening 2021 ... the greatest DJ in the Planet

[@briandemodulated]

this is officially my favourite video on youtube

[@amw157]

Know what I like best about this? It's the breaks he takes periodically. He doesn't need to have a six-minute total uninterrupted stream of scratching. He can take pauses, let what he just threw at us "sink in", give us time to realize "yeah, that was awesome after all", and then give us a breather before he hits us with more. Takes courage to take pauses like that. Takes confidence.

[@KINGTRAGIC1]

Those breaks are for you to Skratch...question & answer with Q Bert.

[@chopsoe]

This video changed my life forever. I can remember exactly where I was in 2006 when I came across this gem

[@ozmote]

i could watch this shit forever... qbert's scratching is fucking zen

[@rafimakaro8043]

that Do It Yourself DVD is sick :)

[@MorphX]

this is qbert "under influence". gawddd i love his work. best "freestyle" scratcher, if not best "all-round" scratcher ever?

[@dynamixii3228]

The BEST of the BEST.

[@maccagrabme]

Unless Jeff has been keeping up with the new styles then I doubt he could pull this off. Its a completely different approach to the turntable compared with oldskool scratches, much more fluid

[@bwah9481]

This is now my favorite video on the internet

[@ironfistscientist]

still fucking with this since it came out

[@inceptionmusic6628]

Now this is a real DJ! Thank god they still exist :D

[@adriantp_]

InceptionMusic The word you're looking for is "turntablist". Real DJs can exist without scratching. Scratching is really cool, but not required.

[@ukulelefoote]

Adrian Thomas-Prestemon I dunno bro. We tend to call those who don't scratch, Disc Jockeys. Its just like "playing radio". I don't mind either way. Whatever keeps the party going.

[@adriantp_]

Ukulele Foote FYI, DJ is short for "Disc Jockey". Anyone who plays music for an audience -- no matter their skill level -- is a "Disc Jockey" a.k.a. DJ. I'm with you on the "whatever keeps the party going"; that is undoubtedly what a DJ is for. There are certainly many different kinds of parties -- turntablism wouldn't really fly someplace like Ibiza, for example. Turntablists are a subset of DJs who have higher levels of skill in an area of the craft tangential to "traditional" mixing. InceptionMusic seemed to be confused about the definition of DJ.

[@ukulelefoote]

Adrian Thomas-Prestemon Yes sir. I understand DJ is short Disc Jockey. I'm an '80's baby. DJ took on a whole new meaning then for us. Today, we call it, its own, turntablism. Disc Jockey's got their start in radio. Thats why I sometimes refer to the "digital" DJs of today as nothing more than their original counterpart, the radio Disc Jockey. Under one umbrella, we are ALL DJs/Disc Jockeys. But today it seems, we are creating individual "sub-genres" I suppose Id call it. By classifying oneself as a turntablist as opposed to a DJ, we have entered this realm of subjective debate on what a real DJ is.

[@sieghail86]

Those Ibiza "djs" are lame

[@SandiByrd]

I love that the guy doesn't take things too seriously - awesome stuff.

[@MicSupremacist]

most masterful scratching demonstration I've ever seen and heard

[@wakatanka7587]

Simply the best..... i 'll never forget that show last month @ dourfestival. Thankyou mate....

[@redmondbarry449]

Great technology turned into an instrument for potential virtuosos performing brilliant improvised percussive music. Thank you.

Wait what, there's a dvd? Whats the title?

[@ohhenrycandybar]

@@diroos I can’t remember exactly at the moment. I wanna say it’s something like q Bert DIY learn to scratch or something? It’s laying around somewhere, but I can’t remember. I’m sure it’s on KZbin somewhere.

great set!

[@48roffer]

The piece at 2:30 is wicked cool!

[@polakoooo]

I saw him in live in bilbao (Spain). He is the real and one true god.

[@therehi4295]

:21 to :30 is one of the most incredibly creative and gnarly scratch languages that was ever thought up and thrown down onto turntables. Qberts scratching blows my fucking mind.

[@s_p_e_l_lveryw_e_l_l]

Note the sleeves. Marvelous grandeur

[@Darksagan]

I remember in 1993 when I first heard Q-bert I lost my fucking mind, and nothing has changed since.

[@danabodymod]

.. since i saw this video after a lot of others, i think he is my perfekt man... i love his music and his style... ever... :D
