the most technical jocks within?

Some of it was good,...some of it was messy.....like with Cubert, looks good to watch but sounds shite.....tendency to be messy a lot of the time when doing crab scratches etc... for me it as to be clean and tight.

wot exactly do you find "messy" about it? i can assure you that the maker of
that video wouldnt have put it up if he felt he didnt nail everything as he intended to...and to say q-bert is sloppy is a tad harsh..

do u have and references to better?

The main clip posted is good...but i watched some of the other clips that are there when that 1 finishes and on these some of the scratching is messy and slightly out.....just all transforming, crab scratches etc..no hand scratches.

Cubert is a legend, dont get me wrong, influenced me over the years....but again, is scratching can be very messy in the patterns etc he puts together.
Mixmaster Mike who used to scratch for the beastie boys is far better....better technique, patterns etc...more of a story to his scratching than just a load of transforming all over the place.

If your clued up on scratching you would know what im going on about and wouldnt take offence to my comments.....theres good scratching and theres bad scratching.

go check Mixmaster Mike, thats a reference.

Answers to your questions..

"anybody else know of people into turntablism?" yes...me

"what exactly do you mean by messy?" out of sync...not tight

"reference?" Mixmaster Mike

and yeah, theres only 1 Q-bert, the 1 you mean...and i stand by what i said about him.

Not being funny...just making a point that i do know what im talking about with regards to scratching - turntablism......been into scratching since i was 16 years old....im now 30
im just very critical thats all.
