This dude never ages

[@DJFREAKYFINGERS1]

I met Q personaly & he did something that it made me into an awe shocking moment. When I was talkin’ to Marr regarding a scratch & bunch of gorgeous groupies was all up in him. Then he over heard me asking about scratches next thing you know he was in front of me & said what kind of scratch you want to learn? I was like what the heck he was with these fine & sexy chicks. Then he left them to get into our conversation & wanted to teach or answer my questions. Man Q was awesome for doing that yo. 💯

[@DJFREAKYFINGERS1]

Bobby Brady Nah bro this happened long time ago like 03 or 04. He attended a concert & he was with Flare at the time. This was when Flair lost tons of weight.

[@djflarethecreator9261]

the rest of us chopped it up. Q got shutdown. UB's a big guy a more intolerant man would have broke some of Q's little bones. That dudes all about money pedaphelia and being a racist, This Guy Is The Biggest Con Man On The Planet. I Can Say So Much More But I'm Worn Out From Typin So Much, "I'm not a typer" Q's A Fraud that can scratch good in a nutshell And thats sad and sickening at the same time. Man i've known that dude for 30 yrs. Man alot of people know but protect him cause the they like the benefits and notoriety of bein Q's friend. But i'm spillin the beans on this racist pedophile sicko. I don't lie i have nothin to gain from this except tellin the truth about a lyin sick Nut. Q's probably burnin up with hate towards me but so the Hell what. Dude was a spoiled little kid who grew up to be somethin very bad.I'm not even gonna get into his pedophelia obsession right now. i'll save that for later. Not to mention how his company has used so many djs to get paid and not pay them. Thats another bad story to. I'm out peace yall Dj Flare. I'm back Yo some more info on Ol Q'dawg.This dude has said the most racist vile crap you could possibly hear. I don't lie. i've known and hungout with this dude for 30 yrs. If yall wanna sweep this crap under the rug go ahead. its on your conscious not mine. Man i taught this dude so much about Scratchin. I basically gave him the keys to the kingdom. Then i started to see this very dark racist pedaphile yes pedaphile. That dude showed me a stack of the most sick disturbing crap you could ever see from him. He showed me his kiddy porn collection if thats what you can call it in the kitchen of his house. His mom was even in the kitchen but she was totally oblivious to what was goin on. man men tryin to have sex with what looked like 4 or 5 year old children crying and shit pictures looked all bad like they came from Russia or somethin. I told him to throw that crap away or burn it. He looked at me sort of dumb like and said "For real? Are you serious?"I said hell yeah you could go to jail for this and he did'nt say anything and i just left after about 20 minutes or so But Qberts all about giving the flower child of scratch. He comes across as a Saint. Man when it looks to good to be true what is it? Man what BS. Not to mention the dude use to be a major cocaine fiend. I've seen him try to snort crumbs of coke of the carpet. Pshhh He's done every drug in the book besides heroin.

i PERSONALLY KNOW Q-BERT AS WELL. WE ALL CAME UP IN THE LOCAL DJ WORLD. QBERT HAS ALWAYS SHOWN LOVE TO ALL ETHNIC GROUPS. YES, HE HAS MANY BLACK FRIENDS. I KNOW THIS TO BE VERY TRUE. I HAVE NEVER KNOWN OR EVEN HEARD A RACIST THING ABOUT QBERT. HE IS DEF ON A DEEP SPIRITUAL LEVEL NOW. AND IT'S NOT HIS FAULT HE WASN'T HIP TO ALL LIVES MATTER AS A GROUP. NOT HIS FAULT FOR NOT KNOWING. HE'S BUSY CREATING AND TOURING AND MAKING HONEST MONEY. BLM IS ONE SINGLE FOCUL POINT, BUT HE SEE'S A GREATER AND BIGGER PICTURE AND WANTS US ALL TO MOVE TO THAT BETTER LEVEL OF HUMANITY. AFTER KNOWING THE MAN FOR SO LONG, HE HAS NOTHING TO PROVE ABOUT WHO HE IS, WHAT HE BELIEVES IN, BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS IN THE PUDDING. TASTE HIS PUDDING AND WIPE OUT THAT ANGER IN YOUR EYES. IN HIS WORLD, IT'S ALL DJ, CREATION AND LOVE. THAT'S WHAT HE WANTS AND SEE HIS WORLD TO BE. JUST BECAUSE HE ISN'T HIP TO WHAT IS GOING ON IN YA'LL NEW GENERATION, DOESN'T MAKE HIM A BAD MAN IN ANY WAY. HE WILL STILL WHOOP YOUR ASSES ON THE TURNTABLES REGARDLESS OF YOUR SKIN COLOR.

[@Koko161081]

@Bobby Brady Well, let's begin with the fact that he didn't know that an "All Lives Matter" movement existed (around 02:00). Next, he suggests that black lives shall be respected because "the first original man on the planet" was black - I find this form of reasoning to be ludicrous. Next he claims that "they" perhaps could be using "this" to "start a new world war"... I can find numerous more example, but he says so himself, he's just scratching all-day

It is weird that he won’t say black lives matter...like at all. Even when he brought up the bricks and conspiracies, he still wouldn’t say it. Even if he’s struggling to explain things...the host is clearly helping him through it (as a good host should) but I don’t know that I can buy that, “he didn’t know”. It’s not new, the movement popped up a few years ago and all lives matter was a way to minimize the struggle. And when they ask what would you say to George Floyd’s family, “That wasn’t cool” would not have been my answer.

[@Durian404]

You're right, it was weird saying 'that wasn't cool' and kinda painfull, but let's not forget he's a dj not a political spokesperson.. he was clearly talking about the bigger picture, but I guess he should've dumbed it down a bit for all the PC witchhunters lmao

Q is awesome. Interviewer is hard to watch.

[@djwickit]

Yeah, something is definitely strange here. He literally responded with "I have a black friend" when asked about BLM. He seemed a little defensive in general, and there was also a lot of talk about "the new world", and "moving on to the next world", and "some people will move on and others will get left behind". He also takes a swipe at atheism towards the end, and when your opinion on Trump is "some of the stuff I like, some of the stuff I don't", that sounds like you're on that bullsh** to me. There's an old phrase... if it quacks like a duck, it's probably a duck. And Q is doin' a lot of quackin' right here. Also, has he still not vocalized any support at all for #BlackLivesMatter?

[@jermaineinoue4919]

First he pissed off black people and now he is accusing Atheist of being down with some evil capitalist shit .. He is just needs to take off from DJn and go studying other things for awhile. I feel that when he talks about "God" that is his Christian side talking but then again he mentions Karma and that is from a totally different religion .. Anyway, lets hope because he did do good in the Hop hop community- Peace

[@Wittgensteinism]

Jermaine Inoue yea, he should stop focusing his attention on being literally the best in the world at what he does, and go get brainwashed by SJW morons, who don’t actually care about black lives since their policies would cause more black deaths if implemented

[@kraftyhandz]

@@jermaineinoue4919 uhhh, God is worshipped through all religions. He’s definitely spiritual. I wouldn’t say Christian. What he talks about more co-aligns with mysticism/early philosophy such as the teachings of Marcus Aurelius ‘Meditations’. Idk I don’t believe in this whole cancer culture stuff cause it’s just making people go backwards and it’s a way of oppressing people by making people feel oppressed just because of some words/beliefs someone has just because it doesn’t co-align with the fad/trend of political correctness. These generations sure know how to send a tweet/post on their Instagram story about their political sides to look woke but won’t even go out in the real world to make a positive change they want to see in the political climate/world view. They would rather just spit at people for having a different view or spit at people for believing a higher power. Same hate just like racist people.

Or I could see a car and say "WHAT IF thats not a motor vehicle, but a spaceship from another dimension". I could "WHAT IF" you all day and spew some wild shit but that doesn't make any of my claims credible or probable. It is not a sound basis for rationale.

I think he comes from a good place, but he's so painfully uninformed and unaware of the world around him. But that's cutting him too much slack...he has every opportunity to learn and understand about these complex issues but chooses to dive into bullshit conspiracy theory nonsense. The same way that ignorance to the law isn't an excuse, neither is ignorance to all these other issues. He has a platform and a responsibility to use it, and a career that's built upon black music. Shame to see how one of the greats has fallen...even more disappointing to see all these Qanon stans and washed up "all lives" idiots in the comments.

[@djlazyboy23]

We can chat on the phone... there’s def a debate to have about responsibility to use one’s platform. Most of us got to where we are by being our nerdy, weird artistic selves. I’m sure there are a lot who don’t focus on let alone share their views on many things that the masses should hear, see and talk about. For example I’m the furthest away from politics as I can be, and don’t want to be in that stuff at all. I get that my vote makes a difference but I struggle enough trying to get through the day and stay on top of things more than the next person. I just have concentration, and priority issues. It doesn’t mean that I’m a bad person, or that I should be shamed for not knowing. We should all be helping each other. Help him understand. Help me see the path. Help you with something. We should pull each other up. Open one another’s eyes. Call me a Stan if you want, but I just don’t like to see people who mean well get bashed on. So he chooses to believe conspiracies. I personally have no idea why there are piles of bricks dropped off the night before a protest and by who. Idk why I see cops allowing people to spray paint walls with Black Lives Matter. Those things are just as odd to me as Q himself. He’s just been doing him as he always has. Should he have read up before chiming in and saying all lives matter? Of course. It was an honest mistake that I myself at one point made myself because I was ignorant to what was. Now we know... (for the record I’ve known for a good while now😂). He made a mistake, and if it was me I would have apologized because it definitely offended a shit ton of people who’s feelings should be considered, especially from a place of giving love.

And its not about ME its about sending a positive message and talking for the people under or anyone whos oppressed. Not about me mate. And when someone like Q whos well respected in his art doesnt wanna get involved and talk about god. ITS DISAPPOINTING!! Or maybe he just got the kanye west syndrome... Do you really think that Qbert cares of an united country? Lol

[@lexbroken8101]

Much respect to Q.

[@MARLEYDIDIT]

should change his name to DJ Q-AnonBert

[@spel10001]

Word! I even had some back and forth with him on Instagram lol. Once I realized he was into conspiracy theories I was done.

[@redjohn2008]

TRUE THAT!

[@TTMAcademy]

@@spel10001 seen this Q expose?we're still waiting for him to apologize! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jGTZmIqwgrxkpdk

[@dyaniandrewin5137]

Out of curiosity, was Mix Master Mike aware of the controversial tweets that Q-Bert made? I know Dj Craze is upset with Q-Bert because of the tweets.

[@cigarbong]

Q said a lot of things here, but apology seems to be not one of them. Pretty disappointing, TBH.

[@PinoyAbnoy]

apology to who?

[@DoubleOTEN]

…It’s jus Beautiful

[@remeo55]

C'mon there ain't a bad bone in Q's body, I don't think he meant anything nasty from what he said!

[@joebravo8813]

2 lessons learned from this interview 1- Karma is king shit 2- all black guys look like Jim Kelly...🙄

[@rayramirez1911]

hey there since 1999 fat beats.. still got it yo. im tryin my rap can this be it,, covid gots to end

[@thehunterofdeath2180]

DJ Q Bert is a humble dude he is in is own world the DJ world 👍😎

[@jericho5144]

He means well.

[@funktastikfungus6927]

just another extra celestial being misunderstood. he speaks of universal love for all sentient beings. overstand.

[@universoul74]

Thats waz up. Universoul love.

[@swordbasedgod1538]

Says he doesnt even watch sports... Maybe he should start to see some examples of how to do a proper damage control interview and show some actual remorse and appologize for comments and not to do an interview full of soft ball questions he avoids answering and goes into rants defending himself. People fuck up but show some class and try to learn what is the parts you were wong about vs defending what you said. The message is there but how you say it and how you act in the interview conflict the mesage that needs to be heard.

[@justinhughes4119]

Qbert has single handedly done so much for the people and community of scratching regardless of race, gender sexual or political affiliation

[@justinhughes4119]

That’s hilarious though how he still denies the dmc asking the Piklz to stop competing. “Maybe they were joking .. idk”

[@LIQUIDSKYNYC]

Thank you Q.

[@Sour12003]

"Every mind is a different world." Also, like John Lennon sang, "Let it be."

[@coronelsakura2841]

John Lennon never polluted his mouth with such song, thanksfully.

[@GOLDENSTATE420]

RESPECT TO QBERT. ONE LOVE

[@bastekbass]

hip hop

[@yuseffrazier8936]

keep being you,share the love,of Scratching

[@mosthated863]

Danm Qbert real talk on music and love n peace. They talked about wave twisters and thats what bought me here. It was wack how there had been people talking jank about Q hating when he was just doing his own thing and living his life quite amazing what his side of the spectrum is all about I can understand what he ment but its a bit hard to explain Exactly what he was talking about in a detailed perspective. Very cool tho I love qbert and his music ✌🇦🇺

[@djflarethecreator9261]

the rest of us chopped it up. Q got shutdown. UB's a big guy a more intolerant man would have broke some of Q's little bones. That dudes all about money pedaphelia and being a racist, This Guy Is The Biggest Con Man On The Planet. I Can Say So Much More But I'm Worn Out From Typin So Much, "I'm not a typer" Q's A Fraud that can scratch good in a nutshell And thats sad and sickening at the same time. Man i've known that dude for 30 yrs. Man alot of people know but protect him cause the they like the benefits and notoriety of bein Q's friend. But i'm spillin the beans on this racist pedophile sicko. I don't lie i have nothin to gain from this except tellin the truth about a lyin sick Nut. Q's probably burnin up with hate towards me but so the Hell what. Dude was a spoiled little kid who grew up to be somethin very bad.I'm not even gonna get into his pedophelia obsession right now. i'll save that for later. Not to mention how his company has used so many djs to get paid and not pay them. Thats another bad story to. I'm out peace yall Dj Flare. I'm back Yo some more info on Ol Q'dawg.This dude has said the most racist vile crap you could possibly hear. I don't lie. i've known and hungout with this dude for 30 yrs. If yall wanna sweep this crap under the rug go ahead. its on your conscious not mine. Man i taught this dude so much about Scratchin. I basically gave him the keys to the kingdom. Then i started to see this very dark racist pedaphile yes pedaphile. That dude showed me a stack of the most sick disturbing crap you could ever see from him. He showed me his kiddy porn collection if thats what you can call it in the kitchen of his house. His mom was even in the kitchen but she was totally oblivious to what was goin on. man men tryin to have sex with what looked like 4 or 5 year old children crying and shit pictures looked all bad like they came from Russia or somethin. I told him to throw that crap away or burn it. He looked at me sort of dumb like and said "For real? Are you serious?"I said hell yeah you could go to jail for this and he did'nt say anything and i just left after about 20 minutes or so But Qberts all about giving the flower child of scratch. He comes across as a Saint. Man when it looks to good to be true what is it? Man what BS. Not to mention the dude use to be a major cocaine fiend. I've seen him try to snort crumbs of coke of the carpet. Pshhh He's done every drug in the book besides heroin.

[@Bxbomba2010]

selfishness does not equate to evil. but yeah

[@deejayph5822]

Akhi' Q-Bert's out of this twisted world and he's quite right in his whole speech actually not racist at all I personally think some people should re-listen what he said in this interview

[@DJDoubleEdge]

Can you say Q...as in QAnon 😳😬 He definitely giving all the responses the way their clonies do 🤮🤢🤮🤢

[@djwickit]

Yup. The way he refuses to condemn Trump, and talking about "new technologies", and "moving on to the next world". Sounds like some QAnon shit to me too.

[@larookat3338]

Children of the internet: get to know someone in person. You can’t always get a good judgement of character off one Interview posted on KZbin.

[@DJDoubleEdge]

@@larookat3338 Your right...but I've known Q for over 10 years. He and a couple others I know have been drifting a bit in the last 3 years or more. Sooooo, there's that???

He shouldn't have to even defend himself for a opinion. Hes obviously not a racist..

[@witness3rd]

at what age was he when people knew he wasnt really "t/here"..
