Imagine if we had a chance, as aspiring MCs, to meet face to face, learn one on one, with the likes of Eric B and Rakim or Jay Z. To be able to ask them how they execute their lyrics flawlessly and where they get their inspiration for such sophisticated metaphors. To immediately converse with them and cut the lag time of learning a specific skill exponentially.

How it works: Thoroughly explained by DJ Qbert himself are the basics of setting up your gear to the advanced “battle tactics” that made him a DMC Champion for 3 years straight. As well, for the digital enthusiast, Scratch Live andTraktor, the leading digital DJ programs are also taught in the curriculum. QSkratchU members use ArtistWork’s 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 QSkratchU 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. Most recently, filming has also begun of “Secrets of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz”.

Their knowledge and insight into the DJ experience will be a special feature and they will be diving into beat juggling, turntable drumming, tones, team routines, trick mixing, musical selection, and the path to a successful dj career.

“It’s cool that Skratching has so many fans around the world and we can all be in one place now and learn from each other no matter where we live.” – DJ Qbert “What I enjoy most is the ability to download Qbert’s practice beats in the “BEATS” section instantaneously to train with on my own time. Kutting it up for hours upon hours of never ending practice time. The exclusive music that you’ll be able to download and to train to is worth the enrollment at the school on its own! “ – Yogafrog
