Looking at the age of most of the comments on this makes me sad. Kids into "hip hop" in the digital age don't appreciate the art of scratch. Most youngsters I know that listen to modern rap don't even know what a scratch is. True turntablist artists like qbert and mixmaster Mike, xecutioners and Birdy Nam Nam are a dying breed. This scene was dope back in the early 2000's, before eminem made hip hop acceptable for middle class white audiences

I had Q-Bert like the only game on the phone for almost two years, d'you know?! No i-Pod, I'm No-id years old, Refurbished Style. But then Paul Walker died. Only because my cassette is broken it doesn't mean that I never had fun with .mp3 files. Namastè

I can borrow your fingers for a bit please. Would be a lot easier 🤣

Back in the day it wasn't about battling...dj'z wanted to get the old school players already recorded on vinals into the music culture that was going thru a shift.. from like funk jazz into hip hop.😉🤔👍

Making it look easy ❤❤❤

Satanic Logo ... Jesus is coming soon ;)

Q always kidding around talking bout rubbers for mixers got me crackin up over here 😂

hahahaha

Woooow I always wondered why they doing that stuff with they hand Im intrigued man thankyou for showing us this also very sick my guy

How come nobody uses the turntable setup with the two turntables next to each other with the mixer on the left or right side anymore?

Hahaha or you can just use one finger ..

Yo QBert, thx for this but will you release new tutorials?

Hi man ! what kind of rubber do you put there?

Great video❤️❤️

2 hours later and i realized the fader is flipped :P

💥💥💥

MAN this guy definitely a fingering god

Qbert I like your website with the wave files and music your the best!!!

this guy got that charisma, he made me curious.. now I'm getting my own decks

bert smokes

i thought Dj Disk invented it....?

Bob the builder, can he scratch it? YES HE CAN

DJ Q-Bert makes the crab scratch look easy when it's really harder than you think! I tried so many times and couldn't get it right.

Awesome!!! 🔥🔥🔥💯💯💯👍💪🙏😎👌🎄

Is this course still available?

Crab is such a better name though. I like the story about the history, but the scratch really does look like a crab walking on the fader hand. When I first heard the name I thought that was why

I always thought they were emulating a crab walking.

The fukn man rite here, hope that I can get even a fraction of these skills someday..... 👍💪🙏😎🎧📀🥁🎛️🎚️🎼🎶🎵

what the heck? its not the crab skratch cause it looks like a crab walking with all its legs?

How the fuuuuck does DJQ only have 6.5k subs?

🔥🔥

I'm learning this right now from you I DJ Hempstead you know how to deal with the other hand too or is different cuz it feels funny when I try to do it with the right hand that I already know how to scratch with but the left hand I don't really know too much but I can do it better the crap I'm talkin about

Doesn't matter how nice you are, you can't crab scratch on a shitty mixer.

informational, but you're using hamster style, will you follow up with the same video using non hamster traditional 1..2..fader technique?

Antiskating... Weight... ?

He said "wire" when he meant "cable" but other than that--thanks!

Please continue doing those videos

Stock crossfader? or maybe pro x fade..

This guy is the Ronaldhino of SCRATCH....

Has your mixer got a spring loaded crossfader?

Big up

When my mate used to mix I would use a set of headphone and mc along in the corner of his bedroom. I got the name MC corner!! I was shit thought lol

Hey Q !! I download a few tutorials of you in the early 2000's. My DJ career has been so much intresting ever since. wish equipment were affordable here tho..
