The Lexxus @ GC Spinoff Prelims '05

[the lexxus]

Guitar Center does an annual turntable competition, and this was @ the Preliminaries.
I won this competition, but was defeated @ the finals.
The intro was unfortunately cutoff of this video.

& no Dubstep in this comp, but the next 1 for sure...

So Dubstep fans are not into Turntablism?

I find that hard to swallow...

[dopedragon]

im into turntablism, and i respect the fact that you entered a dj battle, mixed and posted the video online.

i just didnt think the video was all that great.

your scratching was pretty decent. being ambidextrous won some points, but nowadays, kids are sick with the whole artform. throw some beat juggles in there and you might start breakin through the regionals.

no offense, just my opinion.

The video was shot on my girlie's phone, so the quality is about as good as it gets on a cell.

I come from a mixing background, scratching has always been something of an growing aspiration for me. I'm always practicing, always learning. I didn't enter to win, I just wanted to be respected for my artistry.

I got killed in the finals by versed Turntablists who do nothing but scratch and juggle all day long, not mixing.

When I went to QBert's a couple years back, I could hold my own on the octagon, but when it came my turn to provide the beats, they all tripped out that I could match beats and program well. Go figure.

But thx 4 the critique, no offense taken.

[dopedragon]

right on, man.

got any pics from the octagon? did Q have a cardboard cutout of chuck norris or lee van cleef anywhere? man i need to see that movie again...

keep it safe in the Sucka Free.

[marsyas]

nice bro...the vid leaves alot to be desired, but i can see u gettin down.
is funny how many of the scratch cats got 4 battle records and cant mix for the life of em'.
