Give it to me. No poll, there are too many to list.
My vote goes to Jeff Milligan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9I8VXgiGqF4) or Jeff Mills (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bLanIfR13A). It's funny how similar names they have.

I mocked that thing but damn, while favorite/best things don't annoy me what's with the utter fascination this forum is suddenly displaying with celebrities?

QBert is much better than either of those the OP listed.
dj q bert-d styles skratchcon 2000 (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=a_FFe7lmPuA)
Mix Master Mike is better as well
Beastie Boys - Three MC's and One DJ (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=PT8YUB1Ym0A)
There are others like ISP etc but not in the mood to look for them.
The guys seems pretty amateur honestly OP.

I think you missed the idea. Not DJ's who spin other peoples shit, Dj's who scratch and mix etc. Not saying they cant do it but all it is, is some audio tracks with no video and that first one is just noise.

Also, Ferry Corsten and Armin Van Buuren are good.
How fast you can flick some switches and shit does not make you a good DJ, it's the music. Those first two tracks sound totally bland to me.

Watch the Beastie Boys one and tell me you cant respect the skill sit takes to scratch the beat of an entire song from a record?
Takes much more skill than todays music artists who play the same 3 fucking cords over and over and over. *cough* green day *cough*

They're working on a totally different field, Q-Bert and Mike are turntablists. I can assure you that keeping four decks in time isn't a very easy task to do.
Q-Bert and Kid Koala might be my favorite turntablists. Q-Bert has probably the most amount of raw skill, but Kid Koala is very experimental and fun.

Turntablism and DJing are different matters. Anyway, both can be included.

Well, I was kind of dating myself with posting up Qbert lol. I've been out of the scene for about 4-5 years now due to other hobbies. Have not really kept up on anything since then but I have heard of Koala before, he has some skills.

I can mix records myself no problem ( cant scratch worth a damn ), thats not hard to match beats. Just throwing up some music video though proves nothing. I could throw up DJ Theo's Braveheart remix and call him a god but we all know where the music came from and we dont see him doing shit.
Hell, I Figured you were looking for more than someone posting up some drum and bass video and calling out OWNAGE :D

True, it's not that hard to learn beatmatching. Anyway, playing right records at the right moment and so on, is very hard indeed.
Raw skill alone almost never makes you a great DJ.
