[mikicarlos9]

IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD

IM FROM SPAIIN

[P3t3rPoe]

Needle jumps around 1:10 , he improvises afterwards. Ill Skill !

[RUKHAS7171]

what is the acutal babu song its stick at the back of my head

[CiseDj]

Big Daddy Kane - Aint no half steppin

[Gamtal]

@CiseDj No. Emotion - Blind Alley

[CiseDj]

Thats not what i was talking about. Someone was asking what the version was where someone was rapping and i said big daddy kane aint no half steepin. alright.

[Gamtal]

@CiseDj Well then Sorry, you're right, Big Daddy Kane sampled this song :)

[jrroq]

needles jumped a couple times but babu still picked it up as borealis said, mad props

[omnipitantlyoriginal]

What a guy! I will elarn beat juggling properly one day!

[Datathief100]

Best from around 1.35 when he really starts messing with the time signature. Fantastic.

[DPMario1]

grande maestro!

[Y2kratk2Y]

wuts the track right at the start? ^^

[nhazu]

yo this shit fuckin on some other shit fuckkk

[mixwell1983]

Fucking sick !!!!

[antonioWiseGuys]

2:13 iss off the chain

[codypriceuncool]

dj babu lives across the street from me

[muaythaibest1]

the gears whre a bit bad, i recon he knows what he wants to do but the gears set him up

[c0r0n4s]

babu numero 1

[Reconciliasion]

BeatJuggling is a fucking art!

[lyricalgza]

1:35 and beyond always amazes me no matter how many times i hear it.

[DjSnyper38and0]

Dont look 2 good,

[Borealis956]

man... the master at work. two thumbs up. he improvised around the needle jumps and still made it sound so fresh... gave me goosebumps

[WILLxKARGES]

this is fucking ridiculous

[dvir971]

@WILLxKARGES agree

[kubefa65]

needles were jumping it seems like

[waccoh]

he do say at the end that he has some needle problems......

[DjScout]

when was this??? i missed it??!!! AAAAHHHHH

[KarlBonner1982]

Notice how around 1:10 you can tell he realizes he has a problem (wonder what it was?) and starts improvising around it. That takes real slickness...

Unfortunately not all of us in other musical fields are that lucky. You can't improvise around a broken guitar string or oboe reed very easily.

[a2dds]

haha i think his stylus jumped i heard a sudden change

[KarlBonner1982]

I thought the same... maybe the arm was set to too little weight? perhaps the setting got bumped by accident and he didn't have time to double-check it beforehand.

[a2dds]

yea maybe or he may have been to violent with it showing of hahaha but no u are most probs right

[NetplayerD]

Even when he had problems he still scratched some slick beats.

[gojustyle]

is it just me or was Babu just not as sharp?

[Unthugged]

@gojustyle i think those records are just hella old.

[complex3636]

@gojustyle nah dont think he was in all 3 videos actualy , but we all know hes the man and mayb just had a off day like we all do i guess :)

[DJCRooK3D]

@gojustyle That's complacency for ya ;-)

[djDECEPTIONnsk]

@gojustyle thats whats dope about turntablisim even tho its one of his signature routines and he's prob performed it millions of times he'll never pull it off exactly the way hes done it before just like a jazz artist. also you can tell that there were needle problems he just had to improvise

[xxxsimexxx]

@gojustyle

Total eclipse shits all over him

[ind20000]

@gojustyle This set obviously wasn't from the heart, it's a demonstration not a performance.

[DONTGIVEAFUCC]

@gojustyle he explained the needles were jumping at the end lol..

[fuddeldaddel]

metronome?

[KarlBonner1982]

Let's see...

Wicked talent....CHECK.

Unreal creativity....CHECK.

Dope sense of beats....CHECK.

Love vibe on stage....CHECK.

Hella good looking at 300 pounds (yes homo)....CHECK.

The verdict's in...

[oscarlundmark]

The Emotions - Blind Alley

[eleilronca]

what is this beat!?!?!?!?!

[mcultra]

it's amazing how, even with needle issues, Babu still kept it together until the end where he basically said "eff it". i can see this routine ten thousand times and still be mesmerized by the mastery and wizardry of the Dilated Junky.

[deejaykgb]

man... the fucking needle was skipping and kinda ruined that classic juggle of his.

[acidkidadam]

yo babu. bodytricks !

[TweakMyStyle]

DOPE

[ablackman3]

Babu is the man but I worried he is gaining too much weight for his health.

[hehehe212]

nah man look at biggie, he was one big motherfucker...he did fucking concerts and shit and not get winded movin around and rappin like tht without fucking huffin and puffin

[ComradeSephiroth]

I feel the same way, I'd hate to see him get into too many health problems. A little chubby is fine but don't go to excesses.

[ComradeSephiroth]

Thanks for showing real concern out of love rather than just dissing his weight BTW.

I love the brotha so much, who knows what I'd do if something like weight led to a disaster. Obesity runs in my family and it's something I've always had to be vigilant about.

[ablackman3]

I feel that, yeah DJ babu is a legend. Living legend, lets keep it that way and best to you as well comrade

[CustomBumpMaker]

Fucking Dope.

[maddardo]

song ????? please? title

[vegeta897]

Jesus dude, he says the name of the song in the video.

[nutcrem]

DJ Babu!!

[Richard12Gage]

220 to 240 ill shit

[dudedevour]

peace to babu but how are you going to deminstraight something and fuck up he needs to pick up his weight again cuz that was his appitite to scratch it right peace stay hungry my fellow heads-devour

[BBARRICAD3]

Babu is legit. Dialated is one of my favorite groups.

[homeslice104]

its funny that the records are so worn from doing the routine over an over.

[DarthMonkey180]

babu has lost hela weight

[julianfairbanks]

just smokin more

[amosliz724]

yup

[KarlBonner1982]

I know....great for his health but strangely, I think it actually was bad for his attractiveness. Or maybe I just have a fat fetish...

[YellaDevil1]

Ugghhhhh! Babu is NASTY on the cut.

[krischis]

where can his juggle in mp3 somewhere???

[musicdisciple]

there's the flava...

[DZA9mm]

1:37-end is sick

[JBC16]

hell yea the way he flipped the beat is crazy

[fredomeireles]

babu's juggles are amazing!

[freshmonkey92]

babu is nasty on tha tablez

[techattackone]

thanks Knorton

[itimmy101]

knorton dont know squat! it's BLIND ALLEY by THE EMOTIONS.

[Knorton688]

ya your right i forgot about the og song and it has the breakdown at the beggining, it slipped my mind when i was listening to this i thought it was the instrumental and the guy says the name of the song at the beggining of the video, but u dont need to get all but hurt and talk shit over youtube, i did give out false information cause it slipped my mind at the time but u wouldn't talk shit if u knew me bud

[Knorton688]

the song is big daddy kane-aint no half steppin

[itimmy101]

ur an idiot the actual song that babu uses is "Blind Alley - by The Emotions" know your music...

[eddk7]

well he clearly knows something about his music because this is the sample for ain't no half steppin and don't try and front like you can tell the difference between the sample and the kane version in this clip... so many fuckin youtube haters damn..

[delk218]

he said it in the video O.o

[SAmuRAiJaKK]

daddy kane sampled it i think so ur not wrong

[techattackone]

can somebody tell me what damn nice beat this is?!

[phukyouu]

he sayz it at the start... blind alley by the emotions

[daillmeskin]

Doesn't matter what kind of decks you use. If you have a crappy or worn out stylus it will skip. If your records are loose on the platter it will skip.

[bugstrut]

That damn needle again! As Chad Jackson once said, turntablist's must be slightly sado-masochistic, to put up with the stress caused by jumping needles. That wouldn't happen if he was using Vestax decks.

[lumo1]

Chad Jackson is the man!

[djbjam]

classic material
