- New Footage Found øf A-Trak in 1997 w/ NO Skratch Notation Whatsoever when DJ Qbert Sees his List of Skratches on Turntable Tv | Despite A-trak's wikipedia saying that he "In the late 1990s A-Trak developed a notation system for scratching.[19]"
:: This lecture covers the 24 years of anachronism by dj A-trak that falsely told fans and hundreds of press outlets that he had invented TTM notation in the "Late 1990s" using a newly found clip that clearly proves his false claims.
#Atrak #djQbert
the brother is exposing legendary DJs for the actual weirdos that they are. When i left the turntablism community for good i realised i had just left a scratch cult...
facts...def lots of cultish bedroom worship behavior
Italy in da house! 🇮🇹 happy to help in setting the record straight. He had a paper in front of him during his 1998 world DMC set also, but It's not clear (at least in my VHS tape) what was written on it...would be interesting to know what was that about, possibly to rule out even 1998
i had the vhs tape back in the day and i remember atrak just wrote list of scratch combos
Hey, I've heard you refer to white people as "colonisers" in your videos, and I was wondering, what you think about the Arab colonisation of North Africa, i.e. Morocco, Egypt, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya?
notice how you say "I've heard" ...ie rumors....I'm the first free generation in my family that was allowed to intergrate into Caucasian society after hundreds of years of atrocities. Why not listen to the videos yourself. I've covered a lot of topics many turntablists of the European diaspora are uncomfortable with due to their non diverse up bringing. I'm assuming your not from the States cuz here Caucasian ppl are used to us Black caste Americans speaking on colonialism/race relations .....and if we do speak up we are ostracized. Malcolm X once said " “If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing."...its relevant to your comment because from my perspective you sound like a bigot that goes to a black person and says " I hear ur one of those troublemakers"...which is a classical form of colonial Projection...ie ur projecting your own uneasiness about speaking on race relations that you question those seeking equality like myself. I've been to Morocco and Egypt and they were both super racist places where black caste ppl like myself have no rights. That region is very backwards for womens rights as well .....Some guys smoked me out with fake trees in like Luxor and then asked 100 bucks and I said no while we were in the back of a carriage ...I got on my skateboard and dipped...they followed me with the horse and carriage lol and then a bunch of kids swarmed me in the middle of the night like Indiana Jones and protected me. I would never live in that region cuz black ppl are not safe there. I'm proud to be an American and I feel its the safest place black caste people like myself. Also look at your words...when you say "white" ur basically saying "brahmin"" or that you are top caste in this world. Koreans are lighter skinned than frenchmen and Italians yet we dont call Koreans "white" ...so its a caste...once you realize that race doesent exist...just ethincity and nationality...then you will understand that you have very bigoted tendencies. When I began talking racism in Turntablism, White caste djs from around the world began attacking me , slandering me , vandalizing my wikipedia etc... Are you one of them? I dont suscribe to the racist term "Black Africa" so and colonization is not limited to european....I've seen the Arab colonization of North Africa and its very very bad for black caste ppl Just like it was here a hundred years ago. You should check out my studies on blackface in the western world as I'm the worlds foremost authority on the subject. I'm already working on the Eastern world version of my statistical charts on blackface as it relates to net worth of celebs. I've traveled the globe and the USA is the least racist place in the world due to the fact that black ppl are allowed to flourish economically here. In North Africa and the middle east (Europe, South America, Central America, and Asia Too) black ppl are not allowed to flourish financially czcams.com/video/GC4btfhDH3I/video.html
@@TTMAcademy I asked the question simply because I never hear black people talking about the Arab colonisation. It's almost as if many of them don't even know about it. Then there's the fact that so many black people have become Muslims, even though there are more African slaves owned by Muslims today, in the middle east, than there ever has been.
i remember that on thud rumble ttv vhs vid, but yea i remember ttm first to teach scratch notation, taught lectures and even had downloadable printable manual when no djs did it.
word yeah man I toiled for days on that book that we gave as a free download and free pamphlets .....I had to rewind that Rob Swift video a million times on VHS to transcribe it ...messed up on his chirp flares cuz I thought he was doing something else....its crazy cuz once I released that TTM 1.0 book on Feb 17 2000...all types of ppl came out the woodwork saying they invented it ....now this dude dj green arrow tryna say he did it in the 80s instagram.com/p/B6iZlE4A4XD/
Is there something vaguely resembling notation that looks like a mixture of a capital A or N with an arrow coming out of the top of the right side of the end stroke of the letter? Or am I misreading something?
I can see how it would be possible to have some parallel thinking with this especially because of the linear nature of the turntables and the almost binary cut of a fader which to represent visually you could come to a similar conclusion. Even more so if you are basing it on the existing typical western music notation system.
Still I think something shady is going on especially with what he’s saying about all this afterwards which is very vague and his story keeps changing whereas yours doesn’t. I believe what you are saying and you have more information and evidence to back it up too AND a better system. I think he knows what he did and that’s why he is being so vague about the origins and whether he saw your idea first. If he said something concrete it would come back to bite him so he can’t keep his story straight.
alphabets and language uses all types of symbols to encode an idea...TTM Skratch Notation is a specific thing that is not on his paper. Arrows are part of Graf culture and diacritics are little symbols that go over words to add nuance like Ńń Ǹǹ Ňň Ññ Ṅṅ Ņņ Ṇṇ Ṋṋ Ṉṉ N̈n̈
@@TTMAcademy I’m not saying it’s the same thing I’m just wondering if it’s something that he wrote that might make him think it justifies what he’s saying now. I find it kind of suspicious that he keeps showing people his supposedly old handwritten notes like he has to try to prove that he was doing it years ago which I don’t think you would really need to do unless you were desperately trying to prove something. So it’s just a graf thing? Does it refer to or match the sample or track he played at that time?
Atrack did not invent his look, he stole it from George Michael

remix 😂

FYI - Anachronism (greek - backwards time) has nothing to do with one's personal gain, it is simply the occurrence of events or things that are historically incongruent, ie: a 1901 picture of a Native American holding an iPhone 15.
WRONG ...as far as intentional anachronisms...wiki says "Anachronism can also be used intentionally for purposes of rhetoric, propaganda, comedy, or shock" ....so which one do you think fits Atraks case?....comedy???...no hes being serious.....shock.....its not very shocking.....rhetoric?...he just babbling nonsense...nope ....ahh PROPAGANDA....ie personal gain....so you are incorrect....unless you are a colonialism denier who thinks Europeans butchered history books for reasons other than propaganda which leads to cultural DOMINANCE which leads to financial gain...land gains...IP gains.....etc....so your misunderstanding of Anachronism is actually an anachronism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anachronism
part 2 of why ur wrong ..wiki says "Politically motivated anachronism
Works of art and literature promoting a political, nationalist or revolutionary cause may use anachronism to depict an institution or custom as being more ancient than it actually is, or otherwise intentionally blur the distinctions between past and present. For example, the 19th-century Romanian painter Constantin Lecca depicts the peace agreement between Ioan Bogdan Voievod and Radu Voievod-two leaders in Romania's 16th-century history-with the flags of Moldavia (blue-red) and of Wallachia (yellow-blue) seen in the background. These flags date only from the 1830s: anachronism promotes legitimacy for the unification of Moldavia and Wallachia into the Kingdom of Romania at the time the painting was made.[citation needed] The Russian artist Vasily Vereshchagin, in his painting Suppression of the Indian Revolt by the English (c. 1884), depicts the aftermath of the Indian Rebellion of 1857, when mutineers were executed by being blown from guns. In order to make the argument that the method of execution would again be utilized by the British if another rebellion broke out in India, Vereshchagin depicted the British soldiers conducting the executions in late 19th-century uniforms.[2]"
@@TTMAcademy I"m talking about the definition of the word "Anachronism", which is what you implied when you stated "Anachronism is ________" and defined it incorrectly. What you are citing are the IMPLICATIONS of Anachornism. You should have been more clear in your video and mentioned that "Anachronisms can be used ____" vs. "Anachornism IS _______". You see the difference?
Here is the DEFINITION of the word Anachronism taken from the same source you cited above (which I find ironic by the way because you often criticise Wikipedia for its ability to be edited) :
"An anachronism (from the Greek ἀνά ana, 'against' and χρόνος khronos, 'time') is a chronological inconsistency in some arrangement, especially a juxtaposition of people, events, objects, language terms and customs from different time periods. The most common type of anachronism is an object misplaced in time, but it may be a verbal expression, a technology, a philosophical idea, a musical style, a material, a plant or animal, a custom, or anything else associated with a particular period that is placed outside its proper temporal domain."
@TTMAcademy
Hey Rae! :)
I believe my initial comment may have been unclear, so I will rephrase it to better highlight the issue at hand.
My primary and sole contention lies with the wording you used in that particular segment of your video. Specifically, you stated: "Anachronism, for those who don't know, is when you are playing with history for your own personal gain." In your response to my feedback, you cited Wikipedia, copying and pasting an excerpt that explained "intentional anachronism" and "politically motivated anachronism." However, this does not align with the term you explicitly defined in your video. You stated, "Anachronism is ______." Instead, you should have defined anachronism-which, by the way, is clearly defined at the top of the Wikipedia source you cited-before discussing the potentially nefarious ways in which anachronisms may be employed. The wording you used in your video is akin to claiming that "a metaphor is a comparison between two unlikely things used to disparage a certain group of people." As you can see, this is not the definition of a metaphor but rather an explanation of how it may be used in a negative context.
For those interested, here is the definition of anachronism from the same source cited by Rae:
"An anachronism (from the Greek ἀνά ana, 'against' and χρόνος khronos, 'time') is a chronological inconsistency in some arrangement, especially a juxtaposition of people, events, objects, language terms, and customs from different time periods. The most common type of anachronism is an object misplaced in time, but it may also be a verbal expression, technology, philosophical idea, musical style, material, plant or animal, custom, or anything else associated with a particular period that is placed outside its proper temporal domain."
While anachronisms can be used in various contexts, both positive and negative, claiming that an anachronism is a literary technique that is inherently used for personal gain is categorically false.
@@TTMAcademy I would also suggest, Rae, that before you resort to accusations and snide comments ("unless you are a colonialism denier" , "your misunderstanding [...] is an anachronism"), you take the time to engage others and be more open-minded and respectful to criticism. As someone who spends a lot of time doing research, cross-checking data, and producing videos that critique others, I expected a more welcoming and engaging response.
