This has to be one of the most important videos of hip-hop culture ever it shows the old generation the ones that started needle dropping been taught to the younger generation that is now our current hip-hop
The base ingredient for true a producer.....knowing how to manipulate the wax on turntables. Technology takes the art to different levels but it(hip hop) started from the DJ and those tables with black wax. Respect to Kamaal (Q-tip)
I haven't been around vinyl alot, but I can only imagine the skill needed to do this. Probably have to have a deep relationship with the track to know exactly what soundbite is where while also accounting for the spin and rhythm of the record. Like holy shit. And with "needle dropping" I can only infer you're using a fucking needle, so you need pinpoint accuracy. The way he's able to flow and make this look easy is incredible.
THIS RIGHT HERE, I WOULD'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO JUST SOAK IN ALL PRODUCTION LEARNING I POSSIBLY CAN... CLASSIC... FOREVERRRRR CREATIVITY, FOREVERRRRR NATIVE TONGUES.......
i just checked back on one of the first videos i posted. good to see so many folks from across the world checked it. it was a great moment in time for sure.
There's a video (no longer) floatin around of No ID in the same studio session needle droppin the same record and he kills it. Q-Tip loses his shit. #supreme
I've been trying to do the digital equivalent of this with Ableton's sampler by looping phrases and dropping the sample start point into new sections as it's playing
there are both hardware and software means of sampling and sequencing your loop. please google your question. im sure youll find endless answers to your question.
thanks to the diggers. yall are right gents. bobby rush it is. its been a while since ive been on here. thanks for the comments. new video up. questo. q-tip. dilla. peace.
the song is bobby rush's "chicken heads" you can find it on the black moan soundtrack, dope ass track and shouts to durdatl for posting this dope vid which in turn made me want to e-dig for this jam, now it's on repeat!!
Why can't Rap/HipHop music get back to this??? This is simple yet hotter that whatever is being played in 2013!!! Using samples in a CREATIVE way is what made this genre what it is. (ie: J Dilla, The Bomb Squad, DJ Premier, Pete Rock, early Kanye West)
good question. not that i heard. i did the knowledge on this video, and found out that exile (from blu and exile) lect q-tip a bunch of 45s from his personal collection. but ive never heard the sample in any major artist's song. maybe too much for the sample clearance?
@durdatl What does he do after he finds his sample? Does he upload it on to a PC/MAC or is a device needed? If a device or certain software is required can you recommend any?
Check it out! I lost my heart, and my head went to. I lost my heart, and my head went Heart! I lost my heart, and my head went (3 minutes and 10 seconds) 🔥
agreed! RIP j dilla. if only the soulquarians were still around. actually, theres still good hip hop being made. check ughh.com. and sirius xm stilll plays the classics. but like my mans krs one once said, hip hop is not on the radio.
absolutely. (actually, i hate using that term. i think absolutely and amazing are the two most overused adjectives being used today. but, eh.......) anyway, i have grand wizzard theodore's set from the a3c hip hop festival on my channel as well. please feel free to check it out. it was from 2012.
he's doing what all djs do... guess you cats never knew q-tip is the original (secret) dj for tribe. he used to rock out under the producing moniker, the abstract. just about any dj will sit and repeat the shit they like by lifting the needle ever so slightly as to make the record repeat. where you think looping comes from in hip-hop? haha
if he did a show of nothing but needle dropping, I'd be there
This has to be one of the most important videos of hip-hop culture ever it shows the old generation the ones that started needle dropping been taught to the younger generation that is now our current hip-hop
RuSSiAnSWaGG2012 no doubt man. This shit should be in the Smithsonian
Shit definetly inspired me.
When hip hop still had culture
Made me love and appreciate the art that much more
Official statement.
When you consider the accuracy it takes to do that real time...sheesh. I'm glad I paid for the Renaissance CD. Q TIP is under rated
I still watch this weekly
"I lost my heart, and my head went to...."

the magic started at 2:42 oh my lord
3:03 got me
@@bigTTTTT 3:08 made me cry
The rhythm had the camera even bopping its head lol
TITLE COULDN’T BE REALER🙌🏽
This is honestly one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen.. on video or in life
Making me find new concepts I wouldn’t. Have known the meaning of it. Bipolar is making my thoughts sporadic to the point where I can’t stop fit
q-tip is an old soul. he definitely know music in general. please read ?uestlove's book "mo meta blues" for lots more on q-tip. it's a fantastic book.
NO I.D. most slept on beatsmith
Remember there have been plenty of this needle drop style chops that never made it on record. This is just fun in the studio.

you should really watch grandwizards demo of needle dropping. its absolutely stunning the amount of skill and finesse
THIS RIGHT HERE, I WOULD'VE BEEN FORTUNATE TO JUST SOAK IN ALL PRODUCTION LEARNING I POSSIBLY CAN... CLASSIC... FOREVERRRRR CREATIVITY, FOREVERRRRR NATIVE TONGUES.......
Bobby Rush - chicken heads
I Love Q Tip's Sampling and his Music. 5 star. Love the Melodies. 🙏😍😀😇 Great Job Q, Your Grrreat!!!
Genius at work dude, imagine the time you have to put in to be able to do what he's doing
big up Grand Wizard Theodore
i just checked back on one of the first videos i posted. good to see so many folks from across the world checked it. it was a great moment in time for sure.
"Drew, Y u weren't recordin?" Somebody wasn't doin they're job!!
would love to see it brother! he's been doing his thing for a minute now.
I can see how skipping records and CD's helped shape the sound of hiphop.
man Tip catches it @3:02
Qtip is a Jedi and Ye is still learning.
Yall should look up Grand Wizard Theodore, he originated the technique Q tip's using.
Shits incredible, nuff said. My mans in Buffalo used to needle drop like in’79
Im gonna apply that technique someday in order to get the party really festive. Damn that beat is nice tip!
There's a video (no longer) floatin around of No ID in the same studio session needle droppin the same record and he kills it. Q-Tip loses his shit. #supreme
I hope there is an archive of it
Listen to the new LL album to see how much of a genius Q-Tip is.
The Song is "Chicken Heads" by Bobby Rush.
This what you call real mixing!
I've been trying to do the digital equivalent of this with Ableton's sampler by looping phrases and dropping the sample start point into new sections as it's playing
there are both hardware and software means of sampling and sequencing your loop. please google your question. im sure youll find endless answers to your question.
The flip side is fire also.
Notice the camera boppin' to the beat. The cameraman got caught up for a minute :)
2:04 sounds like real hiphop. 🔥
It caught my ear as well
2:56
thanks to the diggers. yall are right gents. bobby rush it is. its been a while since ive been on here. thanks for the comments. new video up. questo. q-tip. dilla. peace.

True art!
This Deserves More Views .. Like Yo ! MTV Raps Or Something lol 😭😭
Now THAT, is RYTHM ALCHEMY.
the song is bobby rush's "chicken heads" you can find it on the black moan soundtrack, dope ass track and shouts to durdatl for posting this dope vid which in turn made me want to e-dig for this jam, now it's on repeat!!
Memories.....
Incredible. I wasn't familiar w/needle drop but, i can tell Tip did his thang. It takes a lot of precision and timing. Very nice!!!
Aboslute legend, real needle dropping for real
it's been a minute since ive been on here. i'm going to take a minute to respond to each of the comments. thanks for all the input gentlemen.
Love that song, he freaked it
the small bit at 2:57 goes hard
You already know! 🔥

I agree. It's gotten WAY to far away from the basics where they sampled great blues, funk, soul and even jazz.
And madlib!
So was that Kanye or what??? Cuz that dude was just star-strucked by Tip.
This is when Ye knew he ain't a Jedi yet.
Hip Hop at it's finest. 🍺😎👍
young guru brought me here
... and so vapor wave was born.
good question. not that i heard. i did the knowledge on this video, and found out that exile (from blu and exile) lect q-tip a bunch of 45s from his personal collection. but ive never heard the sample in any major artist's song. maybe too much for the sample clearance?
thats dope...i used to do this tho, but it still crazy
Lol I always see No I.D. Wiping his nose
Mf doom should have added the quote on accordion where he says more cheese the Cheetos doritos or freetos drop beats like q tip drops needles 🪡!
@MegaHastle right on my man. i take the good with the bad brother.
@durdatl What does he do after he finds his sample? Does he upload it on to a PC/MAC or is a device needed? If a device or certain software is required can you recommend any?
genius
cat's out of the bag now brother. wasn't my intent though, initially. but thanks for the comment.
