Q-Bert VS. Craze /TTV vol.3/

Discovering these DJ masters in 2024 for the first time. Why POSER djs these days get millions of views and followers and these guys don’t is beyond me. Amazing artists that shaped hiphop. Hot Damn! Is all i can say … damn amazing

pretty sure those stickers on the records are cue points...

[@Yakanhikoerotikkushiti]

They are using cue points every dj that does this does. They label their records on where specifically the sample they are gonna use and where exactly the note is.

[@djshineboy]

@@Yakanhikoerotikkushiti Yes, i'm old enough to know that 😂 But i'm talking about digital cue points.

[@Yakanhikoerotikkushiti]

@@djshineboy still the same nonetheless a cue is a cue. Regardless of it being digital or not. You still have to find the time stamp whether you leave marks to which sample you will use on the vinyl or digitally. Same shit tbh different toilet tbh.

Its like Craze is infecting Q Berts arteries with a slow release venom. And Q berts thinking. I need that mofoing antidote right now ❤❤❤ But its all good as they both have the same true turntablist genes❤❤❤ And yes two different styles. Craze is a battle dj to the extremist down to planet earth mindframe. And Q Bert is more of a psychedelic alien brain cruising at magnificent speeds around the universe. Inspiring 🌐

[@hammacyde1]

One beat juggle routine by Qbert is all it takes to silence critiques about his juggling skills. Nobody touches that routine. If you check all the crazy shit he does with just those 2 records then you will know why he doesn't have to pull out multiple routines to prove a point. He set that bar way too high... Even Craze admits that Q is on some alien shit with the juggles.

[@Waynestarr]

Trust me, Craze was being diplomatic. Q can juggle, but he's NO WHERE near Craze with juggling. Even DJ Babu says Craze is the greatest all-around turntablist ever...and I agree with him.

[@kennethmalafy503]

This is a true gem. Look at one of the turntables- it is barely on the table! I also like all the guys in the background. I think they should keep these competitions true vinyl only, even the DVS does not sound the same. Plus, once you put the songs on software- you lose all the needle positioning stuff, which Craze used to great effect in this video. Sometimes limitations lead to innovation.

[@camoesobral]

DMC returned with the only vinyl categorie. Besides sound quality you can do thé same thing with dvs. Even needle drop. You have that option in every software. In the one I use is call absoluto mode. The controller vinyl replicates the song like in a true vinyl. The begining of the song is in the begining of the record. You needle drop like teu vinyl.
