    Thanks Qbert for showing mad love to the OLD SKOOL - Marley Marl and U.T.F.O. a lot of the younger DJ's sleep on the Founding Fathers of Hip-Hop. I am Soooooo glad that i was born in 1971 and came up with it all. If i was born 10, 20 years ago I would be PISSED!

    DJ Qbert has an awesome philosophy on DJing and learning from the different forms of music and translating that to DJing. Also, massive BIGUP for the Marley Marl mention! People just don't know!

  • @worldfamousvman
    @worldfamousvman Před 9 lety +30

    That Marley Marl song he was referring to was 'He Cuts So Fresh'. It was a track on the 'Uptown's Kickin' It' album compilation. Dropped in '87 I believe...

    spotted the Casio RZ-1 ...which was my first drum machine.. used those 4 little sample pads to sample hits and made a couple of tracks using that machine. Loved the little Accent button too for adding a bit a real feel as they weren't touch sensitive pads. also noticed a little Zoom st224 sampler (poor mans SP1200) great for making gritty beats

I hope this help you in your quest.
