to be honest, i can see kentaro is an absolute beast when it comes to juggles and he's definitely very creative but i just don't dig the music he comes up with !! Someone like D-styles might not be as clean as this guy but his music really gets my head nodding. Just personal preference i guess
if im riht didnt he(kentaro)play with miyavi in the kavik boiz?, but anyway i rly like how smooth everyting flows in this vid, n i have to agree there r not alot of annoying scratches
I'm a big Q fan myself - but in my opinion he only uses his scratching to dominate over everyone, I respect Kentaro for breaking away from the stereotypical 'scratch dj' and just doing his own thing - I would be interested to see him face off again Q one day.. although I doubt it will ever happen! I think it could go either way, Q is the king of scratch and kentaro has the cleanest beat-juggling I've ever heard, not to mention quite a few other tricks up his sleeve!
Don't forget that Q is the reason why there is a stereotypical skratch DJ. ;P haha but he's been around long before anyone even heard of DJ Kentaro. IMHO Kentaro is in a different generation of DJs. Don't get me wrong, Where Kentaro lacks in skill, he makes up with CRAZY creativity. Much respect to both those DJs.
'lacks in skill' ? You've probably never set your hands on records. He is an uber skilled dj. I agree he has great creativity to but he doesn't lacks skill at all. Only a few can match his swiftness.
at last a sensible comment on the whole Q is best argument...agree with every word! Kentaro's style translates better to a club environment which is my thing.
P Fel and Greem are sick, but no one has ever put down a routine all by their lonesome that is almost entirely original, he never just lets the record play.
Always tricking, and in tempo. P Fel and Greem scratch better, but so do all of my friends who spin hip hop.
"innovative" and yeah, I totally agree. His scratching works for what he does and what he does, he does well. This man is the creative genius pushing the dj world forward. er... something like that.
Q scraches are much better but so are the juggling from Kentaro, his routines are amazing, to bad I dont like 90% of his record choice
but I can still say if someone is good or not even when I dont like his music, most others are just hating all the time but cant do shit theirself or dont even understand whats going on
I just left that same comment on another Kentaro page..great jock but the records sometime ?!? might be time to re-introduce hip hop back into the battle scene..it's starving for flavor !
reggae/ragga/dancehall etc etc is massive in japan so i find this set to be pretty bang on and u could get down to it in the club!!im a huge reggae fan and its dope too see it get "turntablised"
c2c gots skilll... but kentaro right now has to be one of the best turntablists, if not the best cuz he so creative!!! his 02 dmc routine has to be one of the best in sets ever thrown down in dmc history!! hes up there with craze, q bert, and a trak, maybe even surpasses them his new creative abstract style!!!
hes the only turntablist ive seen whos scratchin actually works as music, some of the others are great to watch but u wouldnt listen to them. scratch bastid as well maybe
I've been to every DMC final since 08, and I can tell you no one ever impressed the whole room like Kentaro did both in 01 and 02.
He's not the best scratch DJ, but that would never win you the DMC as a solo artist. You've gotta bring everything, especially at the world finals, you've gotta select records that appeal to a more worldly sound.
I love BBL World. The best underground hiphop sound.
