To all those who says he's not the best.... He is the best at what he does... Originality. He was great when I first met him in the 80's, and he still come up with innovative performances to this day! The scratches that most people do today were started by him and his friends, so of course they've been taken to a new level. Just like Hendrix, people broke it down and studied the style, but HE was one of the originators!! Right on Q!! I'll always have big respect 4 Ya!!

Dj Qbert must be the most skilled and technical Dj of all time! I watched him in the 90’s and still come back to watch him from time to time!
@ReginaldFordII11 жыл бұрын
Not only a beast on the scratching with no Serato, no computer or effects, but he's fun to watch. Like Jimi Hendrix, this guy is digging his own sounds WHILE making the sounds. One of the top 5, if you know anything about turntablism.

i have always looked up to Qbert he was the first DJ i ever saw and without this video I would not be who i am today, being a DJ was a massive part of my childhood and helped me through crap times in my life and i would like to say thank you not just to Qbert but to any other DJ who has been a competitor in DMC for shaping not just my childhood but my style and ability on the decks♥

Man this guy is talented. When he created his own beat and improvised it thru, then did it at 45 RPM, then ate some cheese and did it at 78rpm or +50%, that was showmanship. He deserves the applause and accolades. Im not a huge fan of the hydroplane, but he does it so amazing and I would be happy to have 1/100th his skill.

There's no doubt that there will be up and comers who will or could potentially be better then Q-Bert. But what you also have to factor and I'm sure a lot of you don't know is that he is from the Old School, going back to the mid 80's. If any of you all can't respect his longevity and how he has transcended DJ'ing then some of you are just straight up fools!! IMO

No one can compare... I mean. You are listening whatever.. comes a scratch... You don't know even the title of song or what you are listening... If it's Qbert, you get it from the second one. He's style will be forever unique. My god check that drumming... Its not about Who's better or not. He's above this. He is UNIQUE, so there's no comparision possible. He plays alone in his league

He does tricks that no one else has mastered. His hands become the vinyl. He may be credited with the crab scratch and other rhythms beside, but everything about him is the result of becoming one with his instrument. It's transcendent.

@@scipreme think about how many hours practise he has had doing this. And how he has built up his fine motor skills and devolped muscle memory to such a high level to scratch like he does. I am right handed, use left on the fader and been scratching for 22 years this way. I can use my left on the record too as I I have put countless hours practising it even though I don't prefer it. And if I ever had a chance to showcase it I certainly wouldn't use my weaker and less developed hand setup but it is there if need it otherwisd you are fucked if you want to put a set together. If you go back and watch old qbert videos when he was actually competing and not showcasing he had to use both as let's face it... He couldn't do a showcase set like this and win.
