Turntablism

I was reading a post by eboyd in the instrumental artist section where he brought up q-bert and it made me realize something. Turntablism is REALLY ignored here in this forum. When I first got my turntables I was so obsessed with turntablism, lol. I still have a huge appreciation for the art. Anyways, who's your favorite turntablist? I'd have to say Rob Swift for me. I grew up listening to some of his shit and he's probly the best beat juggler I know (I always wished I could beat juggle good, takes a lot of practice though). There's also some trippy ass jazz cats like Kid Koala


It's crazy what he does^^

Yeah, I've actually been part of this one turntablism forum for a few years now.

my other fab bboy tournaments

You know it's funny, San Diego has SO MANY dope b-boys (jabbawockeez for example, I actually got a friend that's a relative to one of the dancers), and there's a couple crews in my old highschool, but for some reason I never got into it lol.

man that Kid Koala was sick, i remember back in 2000 DJ'ing and Break Dancing was getting really popular here when Freestyler from Bombfunk MC's blew up, but then it died down.
