How DJ QBert JACKED My Idea for the QFO Turntable (Why Dj Disk Stopped being Friends with Q) 

Facts

lol..there may be a guy Jeff used to work next to in a cubicle that may have this gripe

does friendship have rules? what would happen if everyone had a Machiavellian approach to life?

True but he should have provided credit in someway...if they were really boys. Apparently that wasn’t the case.

Mfs asking up to 5k for them these days haha. The controller Ones going for 10k! I have a QFO but its out of shear luck and Def didn't pay 5k for it.

wow pls send links if you find them.

@@TTMAcademy Hey, I couldnt find the video but I remember him teasing a documentary on it. Never saw that one though, if it ever came out. But there is a comment by him on the DPSM master release page on Discogs, including an answer by Q himself.

@DJ THINK realdjthink lol I have it still...never used it...picked it up on clearance...but I had a Vestax PMC06... which oddly enough had/has a ground issue on the right channel...🤦🏻‍♂️

Thanks for the mentions, It's like making a documentary on the electric guitar but never mentioning the original inventor and just skipping over to the popular guitars used for hit songs haha....I have to remind peeps, the first contactless didn't have to be super smooth or super sharp...It was that why from the beginning because I did it that way, in the early days not everyone was a fan of the smoothness. It eventually became the norm we have now. It was also 60 dollars retail cause I was always for the children :-). Broke mofos like myself that still wanted to be part of the culture and scratch for ever ever...I dropped the 7inch records in 1999 and 2000...Disk is on #2 and I find this interview kind strange when they talk about the small records...Called Precision Incisions for a reason and it was a system to be used with the precision incisions 12inch which I released...In the late 90s early 2000s while everyone was trying to come up with abstract titles like galactic butt hairs and boogerz, saying Hella and LA all day...I was doing some serious innovation for the culture. Eveyr mixer out now has some type of nfluence from my past work, wether knob placemen,custome knob texture to post fader outputs to headphone mute..on and on...Lots of small things that goes over peeps heads...Still got low key haters throwing shade but there is balance in the universe so peeps are starting to see the light...

Never heard of Disk but you know of Qbert??? Something is wrong there. Disk is an innovator! He has his own fans! Look him up! He's been on tour with Metallica! He has projects with Buckethead (GiantRobot), Brain (Metallica) and Les Claypool (Primus) I help you jump start your research! Go revisit and listen (not watch) to the Wave Twisters 'Album'. Listen to: "Invasion of The Octopus People"... and also Qbert's Preschool Break Mix: Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Muzik...PhonopsychographDISK "Ancient Termites" + Turbulence Chest + El Stew ! Enjoy ! Your ears and your inner musical genius will thank you! ✊💪 🎚🤓 🎚🎙🤸‍♂️🎨 ☮🔪✂️🎧🎛🎚☯️

Also back then, there was Bomb Hip Hop Magazine, and they had an interview with DJ Disk. He even expressed in the interview how cool it would be to see such a thing as a Turntable with a Fader on it, hence, the QFO...

Oh.. and also, DJ Disk is one of the founding members of ISP and he is the one that introduced the term "Turntablist" as in a musician. Trust me when I say Q, MMM and figures alike, respect him! Don't diss on Disk just because you don't about him! Because that just makes you look like an udeducated and idiotic imbecile!

Oh! And how can I forget. DJ DISK is the one who introduced DJ QBERT to Skratching! Know your history before you speak........

@@djfunkypete If you read my text I didn’t diss him at all. I said it’s a pity they are not friends anymore because clearly Q respects him. Learn how to read you little snot before in turn disrespecting another.

Some ppl think Steve Vai is Buckethead

@@TTMAcademy for real?

I mean i learned from Paul Gilbert in a interview he says he taught buckethead how to play guitar, pre or bucket before he adopted the bucket

@@jaydoe647 I went to school with guitarist David Torn's son....he was the one who told me the Steve Vai rumor...

Badass bro

Qbert has ignored our interview requests!

...how do we know it wasnt more than that.....speaking of hiphop zulu nation gatekeeper cronyism

@@TTMAcademy "damnit Baxter, I told you I don't speak Spanish!" 🤷🏻‍♂️ I'm just giving my personal opinion... I know nothing of "hip hop politics" involved...

The Frisk fader came out in like 2013 I believe ....pretty sure it was the first....earlier in 2008 a guy named Barrificio Piemontese invented a standalone crossfader....but pretty sure it had a power cable....I created a Turntablist Timeline of Major Awards and Events from 1967-2017 that has some landmark turntablist invention dates on it.. facebook.com/TTMacademy/photos/1448542961844095

Yes I believe so following after Raiden fader 🎚

No Flesh One and I (Focus) made a Tone Fader with audio input...It used a Focus Fader v1.0. It was going to be distributed by ITF, this was back in 2002ish...The scratch scene got stagnant when it came to mods and designs while I was away ;-). 2012ish things started back up, in the early days we were addicted to scratching and were brainstorming hard to come up wth new designs...Only a few of us had the technical know how, parts weren't as easily available as they are now either...Flesh One also made the first Midi Fader Kit. Any talk of history needs to go back further the 2010s haha :-). I was taking faders from tvs in the 80s and bloting them down to my table on the right side, making it external. That was to protect the fader in my Pyramind PR6700Ech Mixer. As time goes on it is lookig like most old school heads weren't as active as me when it came to actually building and modifying mixers.

Just FYI, out here where I live, Disk was one of the first 5 DJ's to scratch HamsterStyle. Not only that, he has and still owns the first ever Vestax PMC-05 Pro with a Hamster Switch. Know your history!

That first 05 Pro with a Hamster switch was made personally for Disk by Toshi, when Vestax had a site here in California... everyone would take their 06's and 05's to Toshi (when he was in SF) to get their mixers modified with the reverse switch...

And.. Disk did not express jealousy. He expressed disappointment. You gotta be able to distinguish and tell the difference.

You a fool! If you knew of Disk as well as TTM, them words wouldn't even be coming out of your mouth.

you we put your name down for the conference...whats your insta/twitter?

Smh... 🙏

he may have....I'm actually gonna do a lecture about how I may have given him the idea of selling super expensive art records....I was chillin with him backstage in Greenpoint NYC and Popa Wu was doing lines...and I was like "Yo Rza..Im selling high art records starting from like 500-5000 like paintings....let me know if you'd wanna partner on a company called Wu rave selling high art techno wutang remixes..."....I got Powers number and filmed the whole show on stage with 60secondAssassin n crew...so the day is documented waay before he announced the Million dollar Wu album...Rzas porable production system was very advanced....

facts....experimental Jazz composer Anthony Braxton once said artists can be divided into 3 categories...1. The Reformists ...the most original ppl who create totally new art..and usually never get paid from it....2. The Stylists ..ppl who take the reformists work and make it more palatable to the masses as their own "style" ...they generally get paid the most....then 3. The Classicists ...the ppl who just copy the past be it educational in a school setting, cover bands...basically when a style be comes classical music ......most Juggle patterns are are at this stage..I havent seen a new pattern since like Kentaro in 2001....so Steve D would be the Reformist....as he never made any real paper from the game.....then dj Premier or even the Xmen could be the stylists who made a bunch of paper from tablism....then the classical ppl would be like KSwizz and and the new school kids who can perfectly execute what ppl in the past were doing

who are you calling the hypocrite? ...Q or Disk?

it's true all lives matter, tell me what about hate crime on asian people 😂

@@LP00151987 this clip sums up why statistical Scale is important when tallying hate crimes instagram.com/p/CNWBEvoHnxe/

xactly...Qbert still never apologized to the black community about going "all lives matter", saying ppl wont get brutalized by cops if they just act respectful, supporting now ultra conservative Candice Owens as well as Denouncing George Floyd publicly..we did a lecture on the subject here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V3vgWzMW1ow.html

I’m sure Q hasn’t been the same since losing you.

For me it was saying George Floyd faked his death and it was staged when we all seen the same fucking video. Not to mention the other stupid ass rants Q came up with frying balls in his room. His so called apology wasn’t even an apology but more of another conspiracy theory.

What do you mean he can't juggle? Of course he can.... look up Turntable TV Annual #1 1997

Are you kidding qbert is fuckin amazing at beat juggles. Do your research he was juggling in the DMC WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP way back in 91-92
