This is one online class that University of Phoenix does not offer. DJ Qbert has officially launched Qbert Skratch University, an online education center for the art of scratch DJ’ing and turntablism. ProHipHop has the entire press release but it reads something like this:
“Qbert presents a comprehensive video curriculum online, from the most basic skratching techniques to the advanced “battle tactics” that made him the 3-time DMC Champion. QSU members use ArtistWorks’ proprietary VMS (Video/Media Management System) to send DJ Qbert a video of their practice session that he reviews and then posts a response video on the site. The Student Video and Qbert’s response are uniquely paired on QSU as “Master Classes” for the entire community to learn from.”
“Qbert invites multiple Guest DJs and related professionals to share their insights and techniques with the student body, making QSU the most comprehensive and influential Skratch education program available to DJs today.”

Great idea for them turntablists bringing the heat. I’ll def check this one out.
No denying qberts scratching skills but i dont think he warrants a whole dedicated site for him. Hes not THAT great.

No, Skillz…Q-Bert aint all THAT great…He is all THAT great and a bag of chips…How many DJ’s can say they designed and built they own mixers and turntables. Vestax owes this guy major props for putting their company on the map….I don’t see any DJ Drama’s or DJ Green Lanterns or Who Kids putting smaller cats on game. They aint trying to share anything to kids who may look up to them…I doubt they can even scratch!
WORD!
do that shit q, dj’n is a beautiful thing. these, dick head assholes dj’s aren’t gona show u how to dj.
The University of Phoenix can't offer a DJ license:)) Being a DJ is not something that you need to go to college in order to learn. You just need to practice and be creative.
