Here is Dj Jazzy Jeff performing with The Roots on Fallon last night. We hooked up Jeff with a custom "Vinyl Destination" Rane 62 skin and a Jimmy Fallon Serato picture disc. Not sure how long link will last so until then........enjoy!

Jazzy Jeff is awesome.
Quest love is a great drummer.
Quest love is a terrible DJ. He was guest DJ at the garden (Madison Square Garden, aka the Mecca) last month and he stunk up the joint.

I wouldn't doubt it (QuestLove). I heard he has an extensive record collection but I'd just consider him a drummer/producer, not a DJ.

Definitely. But like everyone he's cashin on on the DJ thing. Why not. It's there for the taking.
Serato. Ultimate gift and curse

But in NYC, it's sometimes not about the mixing, transitions, or even DJ skills but just playing the "right records". I am sure his records go deeper than most.

or so i've heard....

I think for the short amount of time that he had, it was good.

dude QUEST has been djing for a longggg time bros, I dont know where you guys have got your information. He is not just cashing in on some fad

hes not your technically best dj as far as tricks and cuts are concerned but his sets are on point and his knowledge of music is insane, the songs he will play out and breaks he knows are incredible, he literally is the human version of an ipod

programming is everything and you guys are nuts

then your music knowledge is wackkkkked thats a terrible comparison

Questlove layed an egg at the garden. That's all I know. I was in the 5th row. It was ugly. I will cut him some slack because that's not the easiest setting. The garden has a bad PA system and if he didnt have monitors I could see how anyone could trainereck. Bad acoustics and echoes. It's not exactly setup for concert type shit during games. But if he did have monitors it was poor

Ha. Will I am deserves respect for his production. His shit is always mastered and mixed better than anyone. Listen to a black eyes peas track with good headphones you will hear how good the sound quality is. He's got some secret he's not tellin anyone

Listen to how he will PURPOSELY throw a track off the groove like it's some signature move. That shit fucks with your head nod, therefore, fucks up the track..

I'm not saying anything bad about Quest. I'm a fan. I'm sure he's not technically the most advanced DJ, but he's definitely an encyclopedia when it comes to music. The things he rattles off the top of his head is amazing. I was just responding to the comment about DJs cashing in on Serato. He has records. A metric fuck ton of records. He's not one of those DJs. I see him more as an all-around musician. He was born into it. How can you not respect that?

@DJDBAG .. he started on serato.. so he can't have been djing for that long. what 10-15 years at the most?

He spent too much time ripping all his vinyl to serato to practice his DJ skills....

To be fair owning a record collection dosent necessarily = djing
DJDBAG 5:07 PM - 3 April, 2013
i remember an interview with him talking about djing parties as a kid

i agree with bezzle for once, but logically if dude has that much wax, was around rappers, hip hop etc, you think he didnt start to dj until serato, come on peeps hes from philly the land of the the DJ!

pretty sure he started collecting vinyl ~1993 .. still has no relevance to when he started dj'ing
