What about Mixmaster Ice whom was the dj for U.T.F.O? He did a lot of the same scratches and scribbles back in 1984-85. Also my big homie, The Treach DJ Mr. Mixx doing it in 1985.
Mix Master Ice/U.T.F.O. was definitely probably in the mix...I first heard it wit' The Legendary Hitman DJ Howie Tee (Chubb Rock, The Real Roxanne, etc) performing it on "Howie's Tee'd Off" in 1986!!!
I agree .... Howie Tee performed it on.. The real roxanne - Bang zoom Bobby "Bobcat" erving...Mixmaster ice, Jazzy jeff, Dj cash money, Cutmaster dc , Dj cheese & Dj man should also be credited..
he's qbert, he can use whatever he wants, he invented, popularized, and developed half the scratch techniques everone uses today....he can use a a tin foil pie plate and it would be still acceptable.
impressed by hi knowledge of djs when he said dj man and toomp i was like whoa...u gotta b from atl to know bout them legends. way ahead of there time. and also was smurf aka mr colli park and u know toomp doing them beats for ti now (what u know about that) but that was impessing to me. get yall some old shy d albums and check out dj man and toomp in the mid to late 80's...dj man where u at homie
I've made tons of cuts. Recognition isn't bringing the art form forward and neither is secret/hoarding your skills. Please share and be thankful that we have such great men as Q and many others who have shared so much. When I started. Guys would never want you to see what they are doing, which was very limited but none the less 20 years ago it was a lot harder to get any info other than letting a DJ school you! All dau ! Until you absorbed sum of that whoop ass
the reason this is x tra amazing to me is because I have always scratched opposite of that. I start with the crossfader off. I was looking for something fresh and in 2013 it still is! something so obvious but I never started that way. This way makes me sound faster and I can stutter faster!!! Much love!
I should have known that if anyone would remember DJ Man, it would be Q-Bert! The only reason to listen to Shy-D was because of DJ Man. VERY underrated. What ever happened to him?
No hate, but the tutorial is slightly misleading in that the demonstration incorporates more double time babies with chirps rather than the tears and chirps. Tears do get thrown in as an addition rather than the main component. Check 2.16 tears and then 2.20 to hear the difference. Damn I'm a geek.
QBert jumped a couple of notches with me, just for having HISTORY and even naming the guys he named... because, when they were OUT... he was a baby or very young... may not have even been born.
Iamyouonlydifferent ... rotf bcuz... when I bumped into him, he must have been talking to some girls or something bcuz... he didn't give an age, nowhere near that... ;D
Turn on the captions for a giggle. At about 1:16 it says "nude biker to sue the south on the internet"! & at 2:23 it says " I smoke Troy Kirkland graham craddock"! Funny stuff! Click the cc under the video & laugh out loud!
and how exactly would that make him better? Has thought occurred maybe the man likes using the apple ear buds. Its really intriguing how some people define their artists by their equipment of choice. Its not what you use, its how you use it.
I don't completely agree with Q-Bert's interpretations of some "Old School" scratches, but I stay glued to his "New School" scratch lessons. I believe that this routine was more often done with forwards instead of flares, at least in Atlanta and Miami. Or, at least that's what it developed into. I'm not sure how Joe Cooley used to do it--likely how Q-Bert explained.
dope scratchin but i realize i need to get a rane cuz the vestaxs dont last that long the faders and knobs give out real fast they were good in the 90s but dont hold up to well anymore and as for the fader i like the clicking but wont miss it cuz i havent been usein vestax for 20 years
Way too under rated for the padawans! They need the funk! It’s not incorporated enough and if they learned how to orbit and flare first this scratch is thrown out the window! Thanks Q!
listen to joe cooley and watch him do its time look it up its amazing joe still sounds better at this scratch. toney g did it before him and also howie t
ho i thoungth there was stabed baby on the backward+fback babychopped on forward something like this and for more rapidity to have 2backward rapid we tears like swirls
Over time, DJs sounded better and cleaner at it, along with their transform/cutting styles. Magic Mike's first two albums are good at demonstrating the improvement.
I doubt that Q bert will take note..He's contributed a lot to the artform. but he's not the oracle of djing & scratching He's also made it mediocre. scratching fab five freddy - kyaa & fresh on every other video.. Theirs also a culture of dj's wrongly claiming authorship of scratch patterns. I think their needs to be a consultation panel of dj's from past & present to stop this happening as its unfair. Their are very few scratches named after the true pioneers..who would never reveal secrets

ericuk :)News Flash... MOST OF THE BEST DJ's were "GEEKS"... You had to stay locked in that Room or Basement, for hours... Kinda of a Self-Imposed Exile... as if, you were being forced to take those "Piano" lessons... was a GEEK until... STARTED GETTING TONs OF GIRLS... Guess that was a GEEK Residual. SPOT ON with your comment. ;D
