there seem to be alot of peeps on here who wanna get to grips with scratching and all the technical stuff, but i just gotta say that you will reach a point where you will need to decide what your doing this all for,
on a personal leval, i started all this stuff cos i wanted to add a lil bit more to what i was already doing, plus there is always something new to know when you have the right equiptment/time and willingness to learn!!
i have met so many people who wanna scratch, i get loads of offers for battles n stuff which to be honest, im not interested, i dont care whos the best, and ok, the dmc/itf etc will pick out a bunch of talent, but there are so many people around these days who can flick the vinyl but when it comes to rocking a crowd, they just dont know,
what in all fairness im saying is, some people do set, which they have worked on and perfected the drops of tunes and can do thart same worked out set, with there heads down looking at what their hands are doing, fair play, you got skill, but then theres what im in it for, i wanna see what the croud is doing and suit the crowd, its been so long since ive actually worked a set out, mainly cos i know my music, i know what will go down and when, and then you can flick a bit of the old technical stuff in just to liven the set up a bit!!
all i want to know is what do you do all this for?? is it to win a dmc or to rock a crowd?? cos i will tell you from what i know, if you go out and do a load of scratching, 90% of people will look at it and basically not even understand it, and if you intend to do that in a club you will only be on a hipe with the people who will go and buy a q bert dvd, a shadow tape or go listen to the scratch perverts, these people are the minority, and doing 3 click orbits, crabs and turbos will get you a few hand shakes and might get you recoginsed, but the best thing for me is getting a party moving!
so which is it??
DJ or Turntablist??
