    This is the beggining of everything. The Alpha and maybe the Omega. Nothing in the world of scratch, turntablism, whatever you call it , will be the same after this performance. True legend, real innovator. His tricks on this set still looks like new even 27 years later. He become 2nd at the 1991 Dmc World Finals and I guess after finishing his performance , he could be like Marty McFly coming from the future and tell : "I guess you guys aren't ready for that yet... But your kids are gonna love it." Hahaha!!! 😃
    High Quality upload btw !!! 👍

      Maybe it was a good thing that he was robbed of the world title this year, because he may have gone for 3 solo titles like Craze, and we wouldn't have got all of the team routines that he was part of.

      @@blankowvsingt Seriously dude, you have no idea what this guy did for the djing world! Back in the days when people would hide the record labels or soak them off so other dj's wouldn't know what they were playing, this guy openly showed people and made dj specific records. Invented who knows how many different scratches etc... Q-Bert is from another realm my friend.

    usually im not a fan of qberts stuff, but if he played this at world championships he would have absolutely won
    so rarely do you hear a set that can be incredibly technical AND keep a beat, absolutely mental set

    Also I always wondered why the camera quality on these old dmc videos were hit or miss. The 1990 us finals had great quality, so did the 88 and 89 semi finals as well as 91 uk finals. But the 91 us finals look like total donkey asscheeks.
