This is a beat that I made with my mouth (beatboxing), some samples and my computer.
I also used this beat in another video I made about teaching English in Korea.

The Crosswalk
Here’s the latest creative video that I made. I first did a little beatboxing, recorded it, looped it with my computer and then scratched over it with my turntables.
I also used a little sound sample from the crosswalk ticker and some footage around the neighborhood.
Lately I have been watching a lot of Jordan Peterson’s stuff. He is really interesting. I signed up for one of his courses online called self and future authoring.
Some of the questions that are asked in the future authoring course I added to the video. Something to think about.
He Doesn’t Pop, Lock Or Do The Robot
Here’s a video that I made that combines some of the street performing that I do as well as some dj scratching.
I came up with the idea for this show since before pushing play many people thought that I was the robot kind of guy. They assumed I did the robot or danced.
Not really, but I do beatbox and scratch. And in this video I mix the beatboxing up a bit and then scratch it.
Blu Man Fu Tells Secret Sauce Story Then Scratches It
Here’s a video I made that combines a little of the street performing I do and some of my dj scratching.
The secret sauce is a sort of joke I made that was inspired from a kung fu teacher I had in Taiwan who used to break bricks with his hands.
It was tricky matching the video to the sound. It has quite a few layers to it with the music, the scratching and the video and getting it all to sink together was a challenge.
DJ’s invented Hip Hop
Hip Hop music was invented by DJ’s. DJ’s that changed DJ’ing forever. These DJ’s did not use the turntable like it was supposed to be used. They pushed the limits and invented a new form of music and a new way of using the turntable.
Hip Hop music was invented by DJ’s such as Kool Herc and Grandmaster Flash. These DJ’s would take breaks – drum and other parts of a record and play them back. They would get double copies of a record and “juggle” the break. They would take that small bit of the record rewind it and play it forming a continuous repetitive beat. This repetitive beat evolved into Hip Hop music. They transformed the music and made a new one.
They used records and turntables just like your grandparents told you not to. Many years later Hip Hop DJ’s are still doing this, but on a whole new level. See Mix Master Mike here scratching, juggling and using the turntable like an instrument.
DJ Scratching to Pete Rock – BMX
Here’s a bedroom mix of me scratching to Pete Rock. That song is from “The Surviving Elements” by Pete Rock. Pete Rock is one of my favorite Hip Hop producers. I saw him DJ live in Shanghai, China. Anyways it’s about 3 minutes of DJ scratching.

Why I Love Hip Hop – Part 5
5. Beatboxing
What would the MC do without a DJ? I guess he could still MC, but he’d really need a beat. And what if there was no drum? It’s not always convenient to have a set of drums or turntables on hand. This is where beatboxing comes in.
Meet Rahzel and Afra.
