Out of how many years I followed, mine and I know a lot of people's idol when it comes to skratching and mixing, DJ QBert from highschool all the way til now. Back in the day, I was more involved, you know like trying and practicing on how to mix even tho I didn't have bank for the equipment which is it's always good to know people who have the equipment! Although nowadays, life got busier and still no equipment to try to get the groove back, and experiment with different sounds. ASIDE FROM ALL THAT, I finally got to see QBert in person and listened to him skratch with DJ ShortKuts and D-Styles! Best believe they all threw down hard which rattled the art of turntablism into my head again! I was literally bobbing my head hard all around people who were goin to the music too. This is going to happen some time in life! Just need some moola to get the materials needed to relearn this move forward! Watch, you never know I might be making masterpieces since I would be trying to somehow make mixes where it would be mainly Hip-Hop and/or Electronic although I feel like I would be more on the Hip-Hop side due to the fact I always wanted to be a skratch artist! Anyways enough of that check the pictures out that I took of this event!

If you guys have any music equipment you no longer use and looks like it would help me out like turntables, serato, mixer, or whatever...slide in my DMs and I'll take em off your hands but if you wanna sell em it's gonna be awhile!
