q-tip - the needle drop

[joshspoon]

this is so hard

[Mentplus]

iVinyl!



[karmacop911]

why not instead of honing a useless skill of making a record player play short clips of other people's music over and over while hunched over like a retarded monkey, a guy could try making their own original music? i don't know. maybe i'm nuts but i'm kind of embarrassed just watching this. plus it's boring.

[Posserow]

loopin strait off da record...priceless

[torieharris96]

So was that Kanye or what??? Cuz that dude was just star-strucked by Tip.

[HenryTPrice]

@torieharris96 kanye likes qtip

[fooloof]

@torieharris96 that's because anyone who knows hip hop music, knows that Q-Tip is a star. he SHOULD be starstruck. I would be. he's a star for what he has done, not who he is.

[gakdan76]

I think that's really cool you don't say the sample.I hate everytime you look at a song some Dick says the sample I could just see the smug look on their face,especially when It's super obvious.or when you hear the original and there's the list.I bet they hate finding the honeydrippers and finding YouTube has a limit on comments.point being digging was so much better before all this net shit.original heads know the rules.label switching,covering and so on.everyone's playing the masked magician.

[ASBURYPARK999]

Incredible. I wasn't familiar w/needle drop but, i can tell Tip did his thang. It takes a lot of precision and timing. Very nice!!!

[BlackTyeChi]

Dope! I wonder if Dilla taught him that. it sounds like how he mixed some of his donuts.

[HorusRising]

@BlackTyeChi Thanks to Grand Wizard Theodore we have needle dropping. Peace 2U!!

[ATCQFAN17]

@BlackTyeChi Tip Learned to needledrop From Someone else i forgot who it was but it was way before tip and dilla met..

[durdatl]

thanks to the diggers. yall are right gents. bobby rush it is. its been a while since ive been on here. thanks for the comments. new video up. questo. q-tip. dilla. peace.

[aubreymc90]

@durdatl What does he do after he finds his sample? Does he upload it on to a PC/MAC or is a device needed? If a device or certain software is required can you recommend any?



[drumatic]

oh...yo... that one cat looked like Mr Walt from Beatminerz at 2:04.

[tavobo]

Im gonna apply that technique someday in order to get the party really festive. Damn that beat is nice tip!

[cocoax]

Stellar, Tip.

[FirstDonut]

nice!

[kitfanboy]

The Song is "Chicken Heads" by Bobby Rush.

[illson72]

yo thats dope!Q tip yo...

[drumatic]

he's doing what all djs do... guess you cats never knew q-tip is the original (secret) dj for tribe. he used to rock out under the producing moniker, the abstract. just about any dj will sit and repeat the shit they like by lifting the needle ever so slightly as to make the record repeat. where you think looping comes from in hip-hop? haha

[jux55]

right....wake up world

[babybark2]

No doubt my man....we used to have little battles in the cribs to see who was the nicest with that....also if you dj you had to have a time when 1 of your turntables went down you gotta improvise...lol.

[guellow23]

I love that you refuse to tell the name of the song when it is on a major motion picture soundtrack. Who are you? DJ Premier? Get over yourself.

[djmmcee]

look to the right... "related videos"

[MegaHastle]

@guellow23 You are right and plus who gives a fuck about this sample. I've heard other samples that are way better than this one so why the fuck would anyone need information on this sample unless you're just trying to outdo Q-Tip or Kanye on a sample that they've already fucked with which is really sad and lame to me.That's what you dudes do now a days anyways.Try to get sneaky and ask about a sample that Tip or Kanye used then find it so you can try to redo it. SMH...

[durdatl]

@MegaHastle right on my man. i take the good with the bad brother.

[TheSinghFIRE]

@MegaHastle word, people need to learn how to crate dig. but saying that Jay Dee was a master at finding a sample which somebody had flipped but the difference was- that he did it much more fresher than the other cats.

[Mun0z387]

Gotta try this lol. Makin beats with 1 hand haha

[afimearts]

Skillz!!!!!

[maada2]

<3 this

[lakim4m89]

how the fuck is he doing that....shits simply amazing

[oskamadison]

Notice the camera boppin' to the beat. The cameraman got caught up for a minute :)

[cratenerd]

The flip side is fire also.

[biggame561]

Its Bobby Rush "Chicken Heads"

got it on my channel

[Japanimationn]

thats dope...i used to do this tho, but it still crazy

[cutmastercee]

the song is bobby rush's "chicken heads" you can find it on the black moan soundtrack, dope ass track and shouts to durdatl for posting this dope vid which in turn made me want to e-dig for this jam, now it's on repeat!!

[gamoure]

[emili0josE]

Amazing!
