[daricsoldar]

@hollowman113 Drumming in time for extended periods of time isn't easy. :)

[spinDAknight01]

Public enemy - My Uzi Weighs A Ton

[MrTableneck]

[jayseo]

...when dope met fresh

[flippaman]

REALness!

[Villain1000]

its cool how they trade off b.w beat scartcing and regular scratching.

[Villain1000]

Babu needs to stop scrathing the entire time, he shoulda thrown a break a or two in, to htighlight the beat more.

[joeycost]

negative. this shows more skill...

[sinuhe000]

Es una gregoneria esto carajo quisiera yo poder escratchear asi

[jibaro4]

[HipHopForDnBHeads]

[sbabayan85]

[nightcode]

GodLike!!!

[koreanbounca]

[TheStuF]

werd

[jimineedles]

oh dear

[metal3663]

i respect them both, especially babu, but this performance didn't make anyone look good. it was horrible.

[metal3663]

babu should be getting pissed that a track is messing up on lead

[complex3636]

hard out lol fuck that would piss me off 2 lol

babu must be thinking like just hold a fucken beat so i can sratch 2 it lol

[Khimimaru00]

yeah i know they are a little off and everything, but i tried that sync stuff, to freaking hard so i just said skip it.

[nypdcar1]

they are off

[FIorecilla1965]

¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿?¿

[tolstoyleo]

This whole composition is like heaven to my ears. I wish there were more who liked turntablism as a genre more.

[bizzyfingers]

im one =0) come check my vids, im not quite as good as these guys but i love it all the same. Peace BIZZY

[metal3663]

you must have little to ear for music if this was heaven to your ears. it is not about being down and appreciating turntablism, because if you checked this vid, you are a fan. the whole point is that they were off. they were not meshing together at all.i don't care how many crazy scratches you can do, if it isn't on beat, it doesn't matter.

[bucklessmith]

there is a beat there...you notice them bobing there heads....guess what....there are on time and beat....and well i love it

[metal3663]

they may be bobbing heads, but they should be bobbing their hands. there was hardly a clean scratch in the 4:39. this shit is painful.

[TheStuF]

werd

[djwilko7]

whos the buddah

[HipHopHead216]

lol are you referring to dj babu???

[djwilko7]

[MattsFernandes]

[djarchitect]

Sounds like crap.

[tobrobfor]

it's called a battle you chump

[bya5]

haha r u being sarcastic?

[sgtfunksta28]

Babus scratching smokes A-Trak's

[djfreshR]

pourkoi A-track serait racist? he's not rasict are you mad?

[bulakamulaka]

*thumbs up*

[djbjam]

a trak should of drummed properly and all would of sounded nice

[vaeriii]

like your name

[DJCW]

hahaha

[djbjam]

lol?A track racist? =))

[BobMarley211]

why are they scratching at the same time?

[Thomas23212422]

D.j BABu

A-Trrak is is a racist

[android90beats]

i think hes gone into the wrong music genre if he's rascist. : /

[roboshuffle]

All that scratching is making me itch...

[djbjam]

ill,but the record skipped

[tifius]

lol racist.

Must be hard keeping the beat to someone else scratching while scratching yourself :S

[jimineedles]

i fucking hate a-trak, the cocky generic bastad

[franuba]

i fucking hate babu he look like hes on fucking crack

[richie27]

..well your mums a slag then

[jimineedles]

ladies, ladies! im in fucking stitches!

[DjStinkles]

How is A track cocky???

He always looks mellow

[jimineedles]

dunno, he's just one of those kids I'd like to smack out. He just has this put on face all the time, i dunno. xxx

[DjStinkles]

lol i get what your sayin

[triplenippel123]

envious hah?

[FLOW3R000MANT1S]

SAY WHA???! EXPLAIN URSELF! GENERIC BRO?...REALLY???...YOUNGEST TO EVER WIN THE DMC'z???? IDK MAN THAT TAKE'Z ALOT 'O' SKILL! What were you doin' at the age of 14/15??.....

[THEREALghostlaced]

too busy

[djbjam]

a trak's needle skipped like a mofo

[Cjn604]

O...M...G...!!!!

[rolnxyz]

Now I can

[rolnxyz]

I can'twatch this for some reason

[djCsyck]

15 or 16

[MainEvent24]

how old was a trak here?

[djbjam]

nice freestyle

[mcchivo]

yea yea

good good freestyle scratch

saludos desde chile

[FiswaT]

hmm this video quality is way oto low screwin up the good shit

[falez64]

I Really love YouR SCratckhis

[DeanSatan]

them 2 could have practiced more..together..sounds disjointed

[DJMikDeez]

reeeeally...=§

[DjStinkles]

its freestyle

[halfasemitone]

Dean Satan you're right. It sounds too busy. If you played your instrument like this in a real band setting you'd be kicked out. These guys are great scratch DJ's but there's no patience with the sound.

[DeanSatan]

the moment is at 30 secs to about 50s ... going thru the motions but it wasnt falling into place... they both have skills (i like babu better).. ps i cant scratch for shiit.

[Borealis956]

those who call this shit have no appreciation or understanding of music in general.

anyways. dope video. what ever happened to A-Trak's proposal in creating written music with turntables and scratches (like sheet music with different markings and notes connotating certain scratches, juggles, tears, etc...)??? was that idea rejected or what? i never heard the follow-up on that...

[mattyfresh27]

yeah isn't that one scratch the documentary or something?

[shockey01]

babu is the best filipino dj!..wooooooooooo!!

[dangerdoomx3]

you really think babu is nicer than qbert?

[TheOnething1]

Babuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

[hiphopkid2]

just to give u some insight babu us high as hell in this vid

[oneism1984]

i thought babu was against drugs???

[grgrgrgff]

i dont understand how poeple pay to listen to 3 hours of this shit. 2 minutes is more than enough

[WESTARD]

your can of right

[MelanieShao]

it ain't for people who don't understand anyways

go listen to some shit pop

[grgrgrgff]

are you hungry?

[jrapwestbul]

adamımsın

:D

[iggypot]

i love scratching and all, but this is just too much...like hendrix and jimmy paige soloing at the same time...its a mess yo.

[hendrixonlsd]

actually they are basically harmonizing.. one his Beat scratchin and one is Sample Scratchin.. and then they switch off.. and if Hendrix and paige did solo together... they'd have enough sense to harmonize, it wouldnt be a mess. IT WOULD BE VERY INTERESTIN NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT...

[calyx06]

one is drummin, one is scratching to that drum beat

[cabron8000]

blah blah blahhhhhhh aaaaaaaaghhhhhhhh scratchh freshhhhh boooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!­!!

[Jazepentz]

i may be wrong but is this from the Tableturns : Calm Before The storm video?

[illdatmofo]

calm after the storm

[ghostdog221]

A-trak is a killer!

[DjSticmatic]

thats some real shit no doubt

[bako133]

oh shit o_o

[djfritzthecat]

You guys have to realiza that A-Trak was just a kid back then. probably still in his teens. He still was a world champion. Most of us would kill to be this good at such a young age.

[thinkonepty]

a trak is fkn crap. haha

he had nothing in the end. 

thats why atrack is now spinning records for shows ...

[roblove]

You're out of your mind...

[djCsyck]

haha are you dumb.. atrak cant keep a beat.??and crack doesn't get you high

[ZiNo]

Babu be the realest...

Much props to A-Trak...

[derloo]

very good shit, sklilz!

[SARAHoAHMAD]

Hahahha What's with A-Traks hair?

[kah45cal]

OUTSTANDING this is ****  SIK

[DJBOUNCINBEAT]
