The lost art of turntablism part 2

I’m compounding some facts I dropped last week in The lost art of turntablism about how the artform has lost its musicality and is now dominated by teacnique freaks, geeks and nerds. I found 2 video’s on youtube that extoll this trend perfectly.

The first is a brilliantly funky and  musical juggle by DJ Babu and the second a geeky, nerdy boring ass explanation of how to bite the juggle by a monotone muppet. Seriously did Babu and co. learn everything from videos and seminars or did they just get on their decks and express themselves? The crowd reaction of the 4 onlookers is what turntablism used to be all about.
