How to DJ : History of Turntable Scratching

[PercivalFromWales]

Perhaps it would be more accurate to name this clip "How to DJ: The invention of scratching", as you focus mainly on Grandwizard Theodore. The term "history" suggests a broader view this video does not contain.

[finomhiphopandskate]

thank you grand wizard theodore

[analher]

trails a perv.. aka Blaze

[djpheeze]

@Clulow16 No. Flash invented juggling.

[thirokoable]

how would he scratch with a regular needle?

[savsci87]

this isn't worth the minute it took to watch

[savsci87]

@boarderdude6092 when it's in the red it's like hitting a ceiling, as long as it's red it isn't changing volume as it should. Consider the different volume knobs you can use and you should be able to play it just as loud without overloading on any one stage

[gavbag1234]

And thus, and hereby, and therefore, he invented the scratch. Thus.

[Ride1098]

Dude, that was cool. It's nice to hear about the history of hip-hop.

[qubit966]

Good information, but... As you know, I'm sure, no history of the origin of scratching is complete without at least a MENTION of Grand Master Flash.

I think most concede that Theodore started the scratching, but it's also universally accepted that Flash was also bringing it right around the same time.

As far as I know, they never battled each other though... and I'm not sure why. Probably because Flash and the Furious Five were more focused on business and making records.
