DJ Jazzy Jeff reacts to my tape scratching version of his Peter Piper routine

- DJ Jazzy Jeff was a special guest at my company's 2022 holiday party, and while he was there, I got a chance to share my own rendition of his famous Peter Piper routine, which I performed on my musical invention, The ScrubBoard. Sharing this with him and seeing his reaction was truly one of the highlights of my life. The only problem was that this all happened over Zoom, because this was during covid, so I didn't actually get to meet him in person. But on the other hand, if it had been in person, I probably wouldn't have gotten the whole thing on video. And -- because he gave me permission -- I am now able to share the video with the world! Enjoy.

Bro didn't just scratch he scarily recreated the whole routine. Props. The kick pedal aspect is lit as hell.
Part of his rig was markers and rubber bands. Absolute mad scientist rig
This is awesome- seeing your home made invention (with sharpies and elestic bands, no less) played so well and Jazzy Jeff smiling broadly hearing and seeing it is an absolute joy.
Seeing was cool, hearing it was rad!
Jeremy would have melted the audience's faces off if he performed this live on the set of In Living Color in the 80's
Straight outta the 80s! How cool to have DJ Jazzy Jeff not only critique your video and methods, but praise them too! Having someone of his status tell you how you understand the ethos, and bring it to life in an entirely new way, while retaining the essence of "old skool" scratching, is awesome! Bravo!
Incredible.
That dude is soon to be 59 years old but looks and shows the enthusiasm of a guy half his age. Doing what you love must keep you young.
Amazing skills on your marvelous machine btw. Mind blowing.
100%
this has under 1000 views and only 15 comments rn..so i had to post before it's huge, obvious that your sound engineering and resulting output are exceptional.
It's funny you say you have to post a comment before it got huge. Does it matter if it huge or not?
It could stay at low views but that doesn't mean the video is bad. A lot of people.ake great videos that people don't see.
The video is dope tho.
Good things takes time, he'll be famous.
Do you usually come back later to post comments.😂
@@beatbuildersstudio It's the "I knew it, before it was cool" thing...😂
It was just posted give it time lil bro.
DAMMMMNNNN...I've never seen DJ Jazzy react like that to another DJ's work. He was truly in awe of your work, the scratchin & your instrument. How in the world did you ever think to translate scratching into linear 2 in. tape?
Its awesome that someone invented something nd made it work. Technology is outdated
tape scratching used to be big in Lithuania
Yeah, but does he keep Will Smiths wife's name out his mother trucking mouth???
@@carlt8188some jokes are too soon. Some are too late.
Getting that co-sign from Jazzy Jeff is like getting Steph Curry telling you that you have a nice shot, or Peyton Manning telling you "Nice Throw". That is the ultimate compliment.
Great analogy
DJ Jazzy Jeff knows all about nice throws!
Completely agree with your analogy! Except Peyton Manning was known for throwing "ducks" on the field meaning he threw a lot of wobbly passes. But he also threw a lot of wobbly touchdowns! LOL!
@@DissociatedWomenIncorporatedmore like tosses😂😂😂
@@jelly7310 there’s many wonderful ways to describe his ejections from Uncle Phil’s house 😄
Love it when artists see someone's version of their work and are actually impressed by it!
Same energy as Jacoby Shaddix when dude shows him their super slow, melancholy version of Last Resort
And Coby Dick has the biggest smile on his face, hands behind his head, fingers intertwined, taking it all in, and finishes with huge praise
I absolutely love it
MATE! Why the hell is this not trending?! As someone who has seen Jam Master Jay do this live (and attempted to copy and fail on turntables myself), this was truly dope. Seriously, seriously dope. Massive respect to your technological talents, not to mention your musical talent.
The look of astonishment on Jeff’s face is a beautiful thing
Crazy ASF .. Imagine if in the 80s/90s all DJs designed their own scratch rigs that would've been a crazy tech boom
Reminds me of Flash’s homemade drum machine, of which surprisingly little information exists. There’s recordings of him using it but almost nothing about how it actually works.
Scratching with tape is brilliant. I didn't know that was even a thing, let alone that it'd sound so much like a turntable.
All the 80s babies in here smiling big. We appreciate y'all for bringing it back ❤
As a DJ, and a lifelong fan of Jazzy Jeff, which is my #1 DJ idol as well, it is something when you can blow away even him.
Great work done here
Got a sharpie holding down the piece of wood he's using for crab scratches 😅
Love it.
This is one of those turning points in music even if the tech is over 30 years old (much older lol), this is revolutionary, a truly genius idea 🔥🔥💯
That was NUTS!!! 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 Yo! he can be an attraction at ANY Djing Event or Any Classic hip hop event... #Genius 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💪🏾👍🏽
My jaw hurts from the fall! That was ridiculously cool! Not only is the machine killer but your skill/rendition was next level! And congrats on the certified legit complement! 💯
Jeff is dope AF. He really seems to embrace technology. Over the holidays I watched his live streams like crazy and Nu-Mark challenged him to an all vinyl set. It was enjoyable but you could tell he was a little out of his comfort zone. I haven't peeped his rig close enough to see if he uses them but you don't even need needles when scratching vinyl in Serrato now. Keep doing what you're doing. Try not to get too lost in perfecting all the super subtle characteristics. Jeff was impressed enough with the older version without the weighted playheads.
I love how as soon as you started he sat up like "hold up, this kid's got something" well done man, what an absolutely genius idea!
It's like watching someone play a homemade trumpet, but it sounds exactly like a guitar solo. You are a genius for being able to take resulting sounds and patterns from one form, and use an entirely different form to reproduce them, and the experience of producing them as an artist. It's like reinventing the paint brush to look like a tomato, but yet it works just as well as the paint brush. In fact, it works better...you don't have to destroy vinyl. You can still get the analog feel for the turntables, as the DJ, not removed from it by technological advances of the last 2 decades...a real tactile control, much like an old muscle car, without the safety of traction control and anti-lock brakes; you're in control, for better or worse. And still getting to experience this active and hands-on way to interact with your instrument, without having to sacrifice vinyl...you could really be onto something. I'm more than impressed. Oh, and you could scratch like a mofo too? Showoff...lol
ONE YEAR LATER!! So glad DJJJ was cool with putting this out! it was such a thrill to have this unplanned interaction and "reaction video" unfold right before us during the meeting. It was truly amazing!!
Bless you, simple things and simple minds. This was pathetic
@@leonardhpls6 The irony of you calling OP pathetic... yet opting to do so via replying to a comment made by his coworker -- implying you had clearly just spent your time hate-scrolling the entire comment section prior to writing said reply.
ikr@@von...
big up
This is by far one of the cooliest things ive ever seen on youtube
I found this guy a long time ago. I was amazed that he had the enthusiasm to take the time and build this thing and keep at it. He could have just went out and bought some tables. He has like 3 or 4 different prototypes. It's nuts. When I first started scratching I would steal the turntable from my parents old console stereo and had to put penny's on the needle head just so it wouldn't skip. If your into people being creative look on you tube fir a guy from Arizona scratches on a boombox cassette. He uses 2 of them to mix and scratch. Sounds kinda good too. Dj craze found him and was mind blown. How the hell does he keep the cue? He even does back and forth. Always loved the scratch sound.
This was super cool to see on so many levels. You being able to show such a sick homage to someone else’s work, in a unique manner that you invented, for them to witness and genuinely have that kind of reaction…that’s some special stuff right there. Kudos on absolutely everything that went into this and I’m so happy you got to have such a special moment to remember. Thank you for sharing and to Jazzy Jeff for giving permission to do so. Stay creative!
Doooood- that was phenomenal! Seems like you have the "soul" of a true DJ! And to see Jazzy Jeff's off-the cuff reaction like that was fantastic! Keep doing what you're doing!
I watched this with jaw agape. It sounded 100% flawless--not only was the scratching perfect, I couldn't tell I wasn't listening to vinyl. Just all of the wow.
Jeff's face is priceless! That's an awesome creation.
DJ Jazzy Jeff such a true legend and always a class act.
This is creative as hell!
I'm 46, I was a hiphop promoter for 15 years and a hiphop DJ for almost 20. And this is hands down the dopest thing I have ever seen in my life.
1.8k views, 125 thumbs up! To be honest, should be like 1000 times what it is. Amazing scratching machine and like Jazzy Jeff said, wow you are a genius!
Man how can you not just smile while watching this. Must feel amazing to see Jeff react like that.
Insane unique scratching and so good of Jazzy Jeff to spend time and be positive about it
This is insane!! So refreshing to see continuous innovations for the DJ artform, Kudos!
That was so cool! I guess I thought you were going to be working with reel-to-reel, but I wasn't sure what to expect really when the video started. Then you started doing your thing and I was so blown away. It was also cool to watch DJ Jazzy Jeff's reaction when you started going as well. Kudos to you! It was a privilege to get to watch that. And I'm happy for you that you got that rad moment with the legendary DJ Jazzy Jeff.
I did not know what to expect. That was certainly impressive, props for your ingenuity. Dope.
I love it. This is brilliant, BRAVO! Can't wait for the next phase.
Completely blown away as Jeff was by your tape routine. So happy for you to have this well deserved moment. Props man
Keep going! I couldn't stop smiling whilst listening
So cool. Love seeing such an unexpected pairing of people come together to celebrate such a cool art form. I just hope real DJ-ing and turntablism don’t become lost art forms.
with videos like this, it will always stay alive
This is amazing. I look forward to seeing what you do with this cool invention
Jeremy your energy is infectious, unpretentious and exudes love.
Wow this is so cool. I'm so happy to have seen Jazzy Jeff do his thing, truly one of the greatest sets I ever experienced live!
This is amazing dude I love it and Jazzy Jeff loving it is even better!
Life long DJ and Audio engineer here to say - You blew my mind. Amazing.
Brilliant stuff! Well done. Happy to see Jeff recognizing your talent
Love it! The build, the skills, the reaction from Jeff.
Lots of love from Stockholm, Sweden.
Seen this year's ago. Dope as hell. Someone give him a job asap
Awesome. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
Thats bad ass. Amazing build and so cool that Jazzy got to give you the props you deserve.
Love seeing yours and Jazzy Jeff’s studios in the back too, am geeking out
This is about the coolest thing that can happen to a musician! Jazzy is such a cool dude!
Fantastic all around! As always pure, inspiring content.
This was awesome! I remember having a Walkman where I could press certain buttons halfway down and get different effects with the pitch o f the music but this was next level great work!!!!
This is simply amazing😯. I loved how Jeremy was able to connect the dots that create the sound in turntablism, and create something so ingeniously authentic. 👍🏼
Simple genius! Incredible! 💪🏼💪🏼
Omg!! This is straight fire🔥🔥 🔥 Amazing!! I had to listen to it a few times.
i shed a few tears watching this.. long live 80s hip hop
Thank God that this arrived on my feed. That was amazing, and seeing one of your heroes reacting to your work?! That setup looked like a musical instrument really. Having a header like a bottleneck slide, using your fingers on the tape like playing a guitar, even having a foot pedal! Amazing!
Turntablism already blows my mind and to see this!!🤯🤯 this man’s a genius for real
this is intensively cool having Jazzy Jeff react is just icing on the cake, gnarly
this is one of the most inventive things i’ve ever seen. thank you for your contribution to this space! decades later, and there are still tricks to be learned. 🙂
Wow! So innovative and fun to watch, glad to see Jazzy is having fun too, bravo!
Wow I remember signing up to your updates back in oct 2014, a little skeptical of its very early designs but Im so glad you got your product in its final stages. I cant wait to get my hands on one!
It was incredible! I love it!
Absolutely incredible.
Fantastic machine and beautiful memory you have here! Big up from Poland and thank you algorithm for showing me this!
Absolutely Amazing!
Mesmerizing! This is inspiring!
❤ the awesomeness of the creativity & knowledge of the scratching peter piper. Pure genius 😊
How f'n cool is it, that you blew his mind! I love seeing stuff like this, amazing work!
I'm so happy you exist! Thank you.
this is bloody amazing!
That is insanely cool... it should be widely shared and the.masses must know of this invention!!! Well done!!
It’s wonderful to see how HipHop has touched people’s lives. This is absolutely awesome.
This was fantastic! I always find watching you use the ScrubBoard so satisfying!
That was ing amazing!!! Off to FB to share this with my DJing brothers and sisters. Well done!!!!
Dude I saw your clip on IG and I'm so happy there was a longer version. You are awesome and not to mention brilliant! And shout out to DJ Jazzy Jeff! Legend!
this makes me smile.turntablism was huge part of my life when i was younger.
Those twiddles and crabs sound so good that that crazy sharpie device you made! So sick.
Love how the tape quality gets crappier and crappier with each pass on the head. Very neat.
That's dope! Love the enthusiasm!
That's dope!!!! Even getting the crab motion 9n the "fader"
Exactly, that's the part that blew my mind the most 🤯
Bad ass.... That's so dope. Congrats.
Literally the most impressive thing I've seen in years - lets make this go viral!
DUDE! I havent been that excited over music in a minute! simply incredible
This absolutely fantastic
This was awesome🤯 I never knew scratching on tape was even possible totally loved it much respect from New Zealand
❤ the new style of scratching .great innovation. Fricken sick!!!!😮
Wholesome. What a lovely surprise from youtube this morning!
love, loVE, LOVING this!!
Wow!!😮 How has this not broken the internet??!!
👏👏👏
Talent, my hat is off to you for inventing this device. Like Jeff said, Genius!!!
This is so damn cool. Congrats, that's gotta be an awesome feeling.
One of the most wholesome videos I’ve seen
Dude, tying together art and an engineering mind in such a bad ass way. Kudos to ypu, for reals.
Really cool to see this red letter update to your ScrubBoard project! I remember stumbling across your older videos in the mid 2010s while entertaining an interest in scratching and going down rabbit holes on creative tools of the time like Ms Pinky timecode records for scratching live audio input inside of an Ableton session for a live PA set. TH-cam has reintroduced a number of familiar names and faces and ideas to me recently and I’m pleased yours was one of them :)
