Wierd Scratching

twinsouls 4:51 AM - 21 October, 2006
I was checking this video out and noticed that this guys spins the record in going downward.Anyone else scratch like this or am I wrong for scratching on the left side and upward?

it doesnt look so comfortable - and neither does he.

its a very rough motion - it's not smooth at all. you have to drag the record forward, and then flick your wrist back to play the sample. definitely not for me.
TheMightyThor 5:55 AM - 21 October, 2006
that dude sucks. why do wack djs spend thousands of dollars on shit when they suck?
mister iLL 2:56 PM - 21 October, 2006
cut him some slack....after all, he IS "spinning for christ".....
mister iLL 2:57 PM - 21 October, 2006
never mind previous comment; he plays Ja Rule 3 songs in. continue to rip this dude.
TelosHedge 3:20 PM - 21 October, 2006
lol i guess everyone has to start somewhere. you're entitled to be bad at some point - but why on earth would you vid yourself and you tube it???
DJ Uncle Needle Drop 3:41 PM - 21 October, 2006
He's been ripped to shreds on another thread. All I can say is "God works in mysterious ways" lol
Dj K.Smith 3:42 PM - 21 October, 2006
He's trying fellas... Like all of us we had a first day, first week, first month before we started to figure stuff out... Maybe dude will get with some one who will show him the right way to do some things...

it just goes to show, it aint the gear that makes a good dj.

you would think if he is"spinning for christ", he could help him out a little. keep praying, if not practice a heck of alot more, and maybe one day you will warrant all that gear you've got.
djskeetz 1:54 AM - 22 October, 2006
amen my bruddah!
type1 6:39 AM - 22 October, 2006
Watchwww.youtube.com minute 7:05 even his roomate gave up I assume, he decide to move out, damn!!
Thundercat 2:43 PM - 22 October, 2006
One thing you see in the newest video is that he is getting better (technically). He is actually taking some of the criticism and applying it. For starters, he doesn't scratch backwards any more. And it appears he is learning how to better control his library with his mixer. Maybe there is hope for him yet...:)
HittinSkinzTa2 4:00 PM - 22 October, 2006
He has gotten a little better in the last video. But he just looks sooooooo damn uncomfortable. It just doesn't look natural at all. Maybe he should take a couple of swigs of that liquor he's got right in front of him to loosen up a bit.
Julls 4:07 PM - 22 October, 2006
What's funny is that he is "spinning for Christ" BUT he plays unedited music, and he has bottles for liquid stupid on his counter. Watchwww.youtube.com

I used to DJ in a christian teen club. All my music had to be clean, and not convey any message about drugs, sex, etc. The rule was that it couldn't disrespect God is the way they put it.

I don't understand this guy.

Monk-A 2:59 PM - 26 October, 2006
he scratches right handed the same way a left handed person scratches... he's obviously watched left handed scratchers( left on record) and not realised you have to move you're hand placement ratherthan just mirror image it for a right hand deck....

apart form that who gives a F*ck about the guy... he's got no bearing on my life, let him be.

Aren't you using torq now???

I see nothing wrong with what you're trying to accomplish either way. I mean, we all have our own beliefs, opinions and what not.

Djing is tricky... At some point, you'll have to put in the hours and practice hard. You can't just become a good dj overnight. You have a good job that doesn't allow you to do this often and that's where all the "hate mail" stems from. Dj's are for the most part passionate people and we work really hard for our 15 minutes of fame. You gotta put in the work and time and judging by what you said in that post. you don't really have that to offer.

Not disrespecting you but hopefully bringing to light my feelings on the situation....
