Anyone here know from DJ Qbert? Want to see him?
 

I love Qbert, he's got serious skills. I think we just locked him in as the DJ for the July 11th Players Ball during XBiz. We're still going to have a headlining artist, but having Qbert as one of our DJ's will be sick.

Who's down with Qbert?

qbert is a fucking artist

Cant say that I'm familiar with him, but you have always made sure the Players Ball was a hit

Bay area!!!!!!!

I typed in Qbert on youtube, first video that pulls up is this one,

Then this one https://youtube.com/watch?v=ZKD0dJvaPOU he's drumming

He is an artist.

QBert :thumbsup that's pretty sick.

DJ Qbert has an international rep as one of the best scratch DJs in the biz... :thumbsup

He's also from San Francisco (representing):

Here is Qbert demonstrating the style he helped invent.

ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME?

FUCK FUCK FUCK

HOLY SHIT

mother fuck fuck fuck

anyone who has never heard of or never seen qbert will be AMAZED at what he can do with two turntables

he SERIOUSLY turns two turntables into two instruments, anyone that has any doubt if djing is an artform will never doubt it again after seeing qbert

anyone that wants to know what qbert can do, go download Demolition Pumpkin Squeeze Musik

it is said to be one of the best mixtapes of all time

keep in mind while listening, he is using TWO TURNTABLES the whole time

Dj Evan made me stay up till 5 am watching dvds Dj Qbert

heres a tip ......

get


DJ ROONIE G

he is what u want for the players ball

he is blowing up everywhere right now

https://youtube.com/user/DJRoonieG

he's good, but he doesn't have shit on Dj Domination. I saw him and Dj Craze go at it in Gainesville, Fl in 97-98 and it was the craziest shit I've ever seen a DJ do.

haha here's a good one too:

holy fuckin nose scratch! :upsidedow

I guarantee you, if you had the chance to talk to domination, he would say he would not be where he is today without qbert

qbert was asked not to compete in the DMC dj competition anymore due to the fact he was too good

qbert IS the man when it comes to turntablism, he invented most of what you see other dj's do today

Hail to the filipinos

the amazing thing about qbert, is that he never was about all the tricks and dazzle, he can take 2 records and create entirely new music from those two records, and it won't be that choppy shit you hear other dj's create, it will be seamless transitions

sure we could debate this all day long, but I've never seen Qbert do the shit that Domination did/does.

you are totally right, everyone has their preferences or style they prefer :)

all though, I do know the booking rate for both dj's :winkwink:

Download it from where?

good points, I've always been more into the tricks and shit these guys can do. Dj Craze is another bad ass who won the DMC for a few years. And I saw DJ rectangle in Atlanta 10 years ago and he sucked huge donkey nuts live.

dude, CRAZE is amazing....hell yeah!

and yeah, rectangle sucks nuts live, mostly because all his cd's are done via computer...he can do all the tricks and shit, sure, but most of what you hear on his cd's is layers upon layers of tracks....

i have seen craze like 8 times and he surprises me every time I see him

one thing I love about qbert, he is totally artistic about his music, and even though he does amazing shit with his fingers he still keeps it on a artistic level, which is why some people that love all the tricks and stuff like scratching with your crotch don't dig him

KingPinMedia, give it a rest...lot's of good DJs out there - D$, who is putting on the show, asked who wants to see DJ Qbert, who is unarguably one of the top DJs on the planet.

Start another thread to debate who you think is the best DJ, if you want to, and let's get this one back on track - otherwise, you rent the club, you pay the performers, and you work out all of the details required to put on the kind of show that D$ is famous for. Good luck though - 'cuz everyone here knows that Pimpin' Ain't Easy!!! :pimp

Not disrespecting you, just saying respect the man putting on the show... :2 cents:

ADG

actually, I love a good dj chat, and I imagine so does dmoney :)

no arguing here, just chatting about something we both mutually love

and you can ask dmoney, one of the dj's I have said since like 2003 he should bring to players ball was qbert, so I think this discussion is all good :)

here we go, back in 2004

Okay, I'm cool with that. I wasn't picking a fight by any means, just was concerned that the thread was drifting a little...

Seriously, DJ Qbert will put on an awesome show, and all praises to D$ for consistently putting on incredible shows for all of us to enjoy.

In all honesty, as a musician, I am more into musicians than DJs, so I admit that I actually expanded my horizons a little with KPMs posts in this thread...also, as I said, I wasn't trying to get down on him as much as keep this focused on the show that D$ is putting all of the time, effort and money, into producing...

Peace,

ADG

D-MOney knows I respect what he does, and I didn't intend on hijacking the thread, just got caught up talking about the Djs.

sorry D!

oh, totally, i agree with ya :)

I will tell you this, I never considered a turntable to be an instrument until seeing qbert perform

I love ALL kinds of music (except new country and classical), everything from bluegrass to punk as long as it comes from the heart and has soul, but seeing someone that is on the level of qbert play is really is cool experience, and I will tell you this, it isn't something you can get from a youtube video

I wasn't planning on going to xbiz, but this is enough to make me change my mind completely...a private performance like this is really something that can't be missed

actually, I am pretty damn sure dmoney loves the fact we are discussing dj's in his thread ;)

evan and him love dj's, and the art of djing, on the same level I do

Upload it YO ;-)

maybe we could get d-money to bring in a few djs and hold a mini dj battle and have qbert be the judge that battles the winner.

dude, I would be so embarrassed to even try to attempt something like that in front of qbert :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

haha yeah, but it would be fun to watch.

Qbert is a cool guy, Ive played chess with him a ton of times on yahoo.

1/0 timing, he likes blitz, pretty good too.

D$, greetings from Jamaica mon:stoned

Qbert is dope. Makes a step up from that spasticated retard you had last time ... Little Johnathon .....

dude, this Qbert spiderman battle is awesome!
