yeah he's sound, I met him once, really nice dude

[@cesarbaca5297]

As a kid young Hip Hop head I was so proud that Mixmaster Mike was from my hood in Daly City. Q-Bert was always around in DC and DJ Apollo was also from my hood in Daly City just a block away from me. As a young head I had these guys to look up to and I could now and then actually hang with and know them. Much respect to Apollo, Q-Bert and Mixmaster Mike. Daly City CA All Day!!!! Koo-C Zulu Nation SF/Daly City 🤘🏼

[@cass4240]

Just to add that this crew alone has been the inspiration behind millions of hip hop creations. Thank you for this wonderful demonstration. Qbert,MixmasterMike and Revolution are some of the greatest to ever do it and the fact that they look so young and are still active,even 5 years ago. This is unreal and motivational.

[@i2pjd6hRw5P]

All y'all saying Q is underrated or that he fell off... This man is a timeless legend of the craft, he's one of the biggest names in turntable history.

[@djdeemz7651]

lets be honest MMM and Q are not as on point as when they were in their late 20s but thats probably just age and doing other stuff. What alot of people dont realise is this shit takes constant practice to be at top form and if you have other stuff to do and are not hungry trying to make it and win battles etc then of course your not gonna go hard at it , I do feel some of live shows can be a bit lazy sometimes but he is gonna do what he wants to do so....

These Dudes brought so much legitimacy to DJ'ing. Because of them and dudes like them, Turntables can be recognized a real instrument.

I believe that happened in the 70s &80s technology just got better!

nearly always when ive seen Q play out, he's doing his Turntablist thing. all the party kids run off cuz its not on beat. but all the dj's hang around bc its just incredible to see someone so amazing. of the very few times ive seen him do a more traditional dancefloor set he was just as great

underrated? most people consider him the #1 turntablist in the world

[@CockLobster]

Alien Pumpkinhead Posers throw around the term "underrated" when they don't know shit, but want to look like they know something.

[@HypnoticHollywood]

He's not as big as Steve Aoki because more people in the world like dance music than turntablism.

Q, Rev, Mike, & Tech should all give the utmost praise for the founding father of kutting, Grandwizard Theardore! As well as evey DJ/turntablist out there, young, old, or in the middle. G.W.T a true pioneer to the art form & the most important of the 5 elements of Hip-Hop, DJing. Because w/o the DJ'S there would be no Emcees.

[@cass4240]

They always praised the pioneers, they themselves are pioneers and have always been educators. I know this because I've been into turntablism for many years and have watched many of their interviews.

[@brookejohnson6974]

Q-BERT and MIX Master MIKE are on such another f'n plane that the people who brought them out to scratch didn't even research who created the scratch or what gear the INTERDIMENSIONAL SCRATCH GURU'S needed to perform them. Damn yo. Just because these profits and guru's of scratch were so genuine that they didn't want to embarass all of you "somewhat" knowledgeable scratch heads.. doesn't mean that we as a community didn't recognize that when you get talent like that AND ask them to perform you betta do your homework. NO disrespect and thank you for a great video.

Understood. My first love in hip hop was the power of words. But watching true turntablism has always been like watching voodoo find its mark. Its fucking beautiful.

[@MrRevoltOfficial]

They know so many skratches, they forgot what the click and vibrato was. *Just to reiterate: the click is literally the on off switch cut that was on the vestax 05 pro +/- versions above the volume slides (it's what dj andy smith of portishead would always use), and the vibrato is also called the scribble--no fader, just vibrate your hand on the record back and forth as fast as possible like a car wheel skidding out.
