Props to Jimmy Smithson for sharing his collection of archival World DMC footage with us! We present the legendary scratch immortal DJ Q-Bert (Richard Quitevis) conquering the 1991 DMC World Eliminations at the Hammersmith Palais, London. He would go on to infamously finish runner-up to the defending champion, David Fascher from Germany, that evening.

1:48-this was the the best execution of reversing the hashim track out of all the other iterations out there-'91 us finals, '91 world finals, etc.

Heard about DJ.Qbert in early 1990 from my older brothers friend that use to dj battle in the bay area told us about Qbert was the next level in dj battling...

funny the guy in the beginning said “he comes from a city we rather didn’t expect to hear about”...then the scratching take over happened after that with the bay area killing it

I know it's 1991, but what's with the intro saying "...a city we rather didn't expect to bring a champion in from". West Coast baby-"the East created it, the West decorated it". KRS-1

May be that's way he scratches with reverse cross fader ( hamster) because mixer on far left. One deck would be normal and other you would be scratching reverse! Much better having mixer I the middle easier to beat juggle

@@MichaelShum I've seen the David set and for me it's nowhere near as good... But I've never been a fan of the body tricks.... I'd much rather see good juggles and scratches than someone doing a handspin on a turntable. Great upload 👍

@finkployd6110 4 жыл бұрын

I think most of it was due to DJ David's body tricks. Similar thing happened in the 1990 US finals.

@TheMeeesterT 4 жыл бұрын

@@finkployd6110 Are you referring to Steve Dee and Baby G?.... If so I think you're right. There is a comparison video on KZfaq on that final and by the end you just think "why?" With regards to this vid, I'm sure you're right with this one too. I guess you had to be there because watching that David set now is good for nostalgia but not for the musicality.
