[JayHeartbreak22]

waste of a 1:27 out my life -__-

[MrIdontpay]

amazing. Thank you expertvillage!

[mukisito]

what was this...



[DJCieZZa]

is this a joke or wut ...woww

[DjConmanC]

why are all these tips sheet ?

[TheDaddyrob3]

hey...i just bought a Numark TTUSB turntable...it is said that this is not a turntable that can be used for djing...is there any truth in this?

[TheBreakSnake]

Lmao!!! The first time I touched a turntable I was cuttin years above this. It's not even following the beat.

[TheDjm360]

bitch you should stay in the kitchen!!

[thespinner1112]

@TheDjm360

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oool

[mollame112]

this is painful to watch

[bobbystips]

ambidestruss

[Terrorbloom]

dj shy? i know how you can get more practice with your left hand. You can come over here and use your left hand to scratch my balls...

[623breaks]

I love the internet, the only forum where you can talk shit without anyone knowing who you are so there is no retribution. I'd like to see all you haters talk shit to people face to face. My guess is you are such nerds you wouldn't even show your face. So cool it on the slams. I'm also sure she could beat most of you in a battle without breaking a sweat

[clamantuanguyan]

@623breaks yeah and the internet has its share of Righteous Defenders too.

[drumingmachine]

Do you think the expert village directors are just too nice to tell them they are shit??:L

[DJWilburC]

hmm nice timing....NOT

[ryaneatsbagels]

ur so dumb...

[strgzr53]

i saw a live clip shes not bad but shortee is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better.

[Harks1]

More like SHY-TE!!

[dirtyflapper]

fucking noobvillage

[markcodysr]

okay, well at least your cute.

[hapajkurwo]

shit........

[DjWurm1]

Thankyou expertvillage don't pay attention to the stupid comments... This actually will help with giving your opposing hand more control you just gotta follow directions...

[ruslanio]

The real dj forgot to show up so the filmmaker got his wife out of the kitchen.

[djfifth1]

bitch ur just wack my 2 yr old daughter ca scratch better than that

[DjWurm1]

@djfifth1 lmao she taught us a technique to get used to using our left hand (or right if your left handed)... she wasnt seriously scratching.

[623breaks]

first you disrespect a good looking girl calling her bitch, second the demo was just an easy intro for those people who are just starting out., 3rd judging from your extreme stupidity I'd be suprised if your daughter could figure out how to open a can of juice. 4th if that is the DJ name you go by then, I can understand why you say such ignorant things. It is just about the worst name I've ever heard. I would be embarrassed to have it ona flyer if you actually play out. Which I highly doubt.

[djfifth1]

bitch ur just wack my 2 yr old daughter ca scratch better than that

[623breaks]

c@djfifth1 I just wanted to finish the thoughts I started earlier. I wish we could set up a battle between you DJ Lame Name. Hay that sounds better then the name you use. Myself I'm sure my record label/store will send my crew THe Bombshelter DJ's, and of course Dj Shy. I'd also be willing to drop 5000 dollars if either one of you could tear me up.and once I blow u of the stage your decks mixer and lap top will belong to me now. So think twice about talking shit about people u don't know.

[hiphoplivs]

@623breaks wait..hold up THE bombshelter..? as in peanut butter wolfs bombshelter? i'm curious to know who you are if you're fucking with PBwolf.. no disrespect at all man i'm just wondering and by record label do you mean stonesthrow...?

[623breaks]

@hiphoplivs I have not idea who peanut butter wolfs bombshelter is. I'm based in the PHX area and we use to have a DJ crew that called themselves the Bombshelter Crew. Actually the members were pretty big names on their own; Z-Trip, Radar, and Emile. At the time they were supported my Swell Records and Swell Record and Clothing Shop/. Sorry for any confusion in the matter.

[yesgeorge333]

gggggggggggggirrl?

[thereverenddoctor85]

HAS EXPERT VILLAGE STARTED PARODYING THEMSELVES... SHE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT AN EXPERT...

[Webbula]

You don't need to be ambidextrous, but it would certainly help.

I wouldn't take turntablism advice from someone who doesn't have their decks set up in the battle style.

[djalgortithm]

get back in the kitchen...

[priyonjoni]

Well.......atleast she's somewhat better than Pauly D hahahahahaha

[TheXxRoSsXx]

can anyone tell me what type of turntables those are?

[GodsTuna]

@TheXxRoSsXx Pioneer DJM 400

[proveyouwrong02]

hahahah this is actually so funny how unhelpful this is. She must surely be aware of how unhelpful she's being??? Expert Village is properly a joke

[andii194]

i don't know much about scratching but i tihnk everyone knows how to baby scratch, this shit was jsut stating the obvious

[curby1963]

I NEED HER SCRATCH MY BACK HAHAHAHAHA

[datkhmerfoo]

she's cute, give here a break, sweetheart that was fabulous

[10lettername]

@datkhmerfoo

she doesn't check her comments bro, being a white knight doesn't work here

[DTGskadoosh]

baby scrathing is easy just back and forth really fast thats lower than basic

[deZOO77]

WTF is dis? It must be joke

[YourDJHostNick]

"That you left hand has to be as good as you're right hand." Well men can't multi task!! BIATCH!!

[DAK075]

Woooow, I love how this video assumes that you are right handed. Bitch, I'm a lefty!

[DJShowStopper07]

FUCKING BULLSHIT!

[claafrica]

wow...bullshit

[DoctorSess]

i dont know shit about scratching hense why im watching this but even i know THIS DIDNT TEACH ME SHIT

[RealBiz973]

@planetearth111 - nothing against ellaskins. I like his videos too. But, I like watching her much more. I wonder why that it ??

[stevenmcnair1897]

@RealBiz973 the difference is this girl sucks so bad she can't teach me anything. Johnathan Can!

[SnakeNickkkk]

i pretty liked it, its an exercise too .. its not bad .

[planetearth111]

everyone who didn't like this check out ellaskins much better tutor :p

[icantfeelmyface11]

weak

[mrdjzork]

wow!! how 2 scatch like a baboon

[upthedirttrack]

wot a load of shit fit bird tho

[rabagee]

ahhh dont be shy ...show us your pie

[DJSoulVOX]

I generally scratch with my right hand and use my left hand on the crossfader. I guess I do that because my teacher scratched that way when I was a kid. I did get really angry at my left hand trying to perfect the crab scratch and other more complicated fader tricks.  But, I got over that eventually.

[deejaybPL]

Amazing !:D

[DJKRAAZE]

i scratch with rite, cause yeah you can controll faster with your normal hand you write with etc... but you can scratch faster in end point you dont need to be extreamly fast on the crossfader.

[LndSofaKing1337]

For sure man I agree completely.;

Seems people these days would rather spam the fader so they can kind of sound like qbert.

Little do they know Q uses right hand record left hand fader like us:)

Are you hamster as well? do you use the fader in reverse?

[TRIXisaSK8ER]

I prefer scratching with my left hand. It's weird. Prolly because I have more control of the crossfader and the overall mixer with my right hand.

[TheWesthull]

not a dj till you can scratch..but that what she said aint all there......it takes years of practice

[spiritdawound]

check watch?v=H4Yu5WvnB6o

for a good baby scratch tuto

[Dessotto]

One more thing haha had to point this out she got the Tecnics sl-1210 m5g's, the Pioneer DJM 400, the Mac Pro and Serato Scratch Live, one thing missing though...... actually talent xD

[cjballazinc]

Dude this is a training not advanced... she probably has talent but she is just showing the beginners the basics..

[batche39]

@Dessotto check out big up an bun her by dj shy fucktard before you say she lacks talent

[Dessotto]

You should reconsider the video title haha... how bout you try "My First Practice Sesssion" .

[timesqeezer]

where is the sense of this video?

[gtilowrider]

ha ha ha this giga shit lol

[ishrihernandez]

hahaha...its a good thing she practiced a bit...she needed it

[ShrewdOstrich]

lots of dj's only scratch with one hand and not the other.

[DJBerserk]

Speaking of opinions, IMO she is hot therefore she gets 5*. <3

(Even though her baby scratches weren't right on beat.. lolz.)

[blkchrm77]

fuckign bitch doesnt know what shes doing

[blkchrm77]

lol expert village is bullshit

[emkplayboy6]

yup couldnt agree more!

[dpglotus]

i dont think this chick is a dj, its just like they wanted a good face to throw in here, and they are just telling her what to say and do...

[watupange]

wow.. this video is retarded

[JackovdaBoro]

lol total wank.

you can scratch with any hand.

what if your left handed according to this you need to scratch with your left hand.

TOTAL BOLLOCKS.

[djskizmarkey]

first and utmost???stupid broad

[gavbag1234]

No idea why she'd get a DJM 400 when she could get a 909.

[watchingyourvid]

cause a 909 costs more ?:/ ;)

[gavbag1234]

That would be the one reason I suppose.

But she doesn't seem that strapped for cash

[aceturnedjoker]

How the hell would you know that?

[gavbag1234]

I wouldn't?

It was just a statement that she didn't seem that way, I didn't say she wasn't, or that I thought she wasn't?

Bit silly really to act the way you did to that comment.

[aceturnedjoker]

No, its not a statement, its an assumption. Which you have NO ground to stand on.

A bit silly? This is youtube! LOL

[gavbag1234]

.......Okay man.

Thanks for putting me in my place, go away now.

[aceturnedjoker]

Anytime! I'll reserve that seat in the corner facing the wall for you.

[gavbag1234]

HAhaha, What the hell did that mean?

You think I'M the introverted one who's ignorant to other peoples opinions? Dude, stop with the systematic breakdowns of Statement and Assumption, a statement made on an assumption is still an assumption, however a statement with presuming nothing to be fact isn't an assumption, its a statement of opinion.

I'll make an assumption for you right now, your a fucking pain in the bum. Fuck off and stopp being a ninny.

[aceturnedjoker]

Ninny....LOL

[1Dancingfan]

This is marketing at best.....for real. If I was a teenage guy wanting to learn how scratch... I would watch this daily.....but...

[amankang574]

you dont know how to teach baby

[grimeting]

this video is jokes she cant even baby scratch well, looks like me when i was drunk and had never seen decks before trying to scratch

[moogoolala]

wow you kinda just told me the obvious

[Tomlikesmusic]

LOL wtf!

They couldn't find anyone better to teach ?

[iShadeSx7]

lol,, and faster one, and faster one, and faster one... hahahaha,, xD

[igor4343go]

haha thats funny..

[oldschoolhunter]

she's talking to the women who want to dj, CAUSE MEN KNOW IT ALL! : )

[rybred87]

haha wack

[djbennydmusic]

once you have mastered that haha

[DJGyno11]

lol ambidextrous. :))

[sense321]

she has no business teaching anyone.

[DruMMinJenkins]

ambidextrous lol...

[turnerchris20]

you dont have to be ambudectrous to baby scratch with both hands maybe some of the more diffecult scratches

[Pyrodorks]

kinda like.... ampudesterous?

[playmeoffjohhny]

was a shit video. cant even hear the "instrumental" useless didnt help at all

[DJPaddy643]

this is complete bollocks

[harrowrudeboy]

i think ill stick to ellaskins and briansredd...

[DJPaddy643]

yep!

[JonnasB]

jaja... I'm not learnig absolutly nothing!!

[Dylz1988]

hot asian alert

[DourifPower]

once again!

[djkanzertv]

fuck all ,its not dj

[GOmadden07]

asfckr

[gtarszzz]

expertvillage sucks ballz!!!

ther videos dnt teach you anything.

not surprising since most vids are about 1:30

if your lookin for "how to.." vids then keep lookin cuz expertvillage is crap

[spaterman]

its coz ppl are getting paid to do it

[rolnxyz]

1 star

[LiamDNicoll]

can she actually scratch?

[cvpasteur]

to be fair, i think she just does it in a basic way so that beginners can actually understand the concept.

[DJdrFlo]

Worst video ever... and I'm not just saying that either. Not the first time I seen one of her videos, and in my honest opinion she could use some basic lessons herself :(

[jaytechnical]

it looks really hard,i wish i was as good as her

[freakickdj]

ahahahah, LMFAO!

[Doktorman]

Hmm... I'm right-handed but i prefer to scratch with my left hand :P

[bazzyhuh]

hahah stupid fucks she is right. just start with a slower beat just to practis. and when you can handle that. you will take an other beat whats faster and practis with that one

it makes sense

sorry for my bad english

[rayzel83]

she.. uhm only showed us one hand? practice what u preach mang, and its "ambidextrous"

well im gather ur learning as well, uhh.. good luck with that..

[biggo44]

your wack.... you dont deserve the right to be called DJ and I think everyone agrees with me

[krntagger]

that was terrible!!

[enizzie240]

wiggity wiggity wacK!

[almighty1001]

haha that was sooo wack

[db332y]

[chilean1]
