If you didn't know, I love Hip-Hop. Damn near everything about it, really.  The art of sampling, the production, the rapping, the graffiti, the breakdancing and especially the DJs.  At one point I became obsessed with the art of using turntables to not only mix  music, but the scratching and tricks that would go along with it.  I remember bugging the shit out of my parents to get me a set of turntables. Something that didn't happen until one day I got a set of Numark turntables.  Before that, I was obsessing over this documentary: Scratch

 

This documentary had me giddy as fuck over the history and the advancements of DJing since the birth of hip-hop to the present (at the time).   It had all the legends from Grand Wizard Theodore (who invented the scratch) to DJ Qbert who was one of my absolute favorite DJ's.

I'd go nuts listening to the Invisibl Skratch Piklz and would constantly watch "Wave Twisters" whenever I got a chance:


It was a crazy sci-fi adventure involving DJ's, crazy space dentists, wristwatch turntables and babies with luchador masks with a whole host of tracks including my favorite, "Razorblade Alcohol Slide"

Around that general time I was also sort of still forming my tastes in music when I bumped into the X-Ecutioners on MTV. I'm sure a bunch of people may remember their track with Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda "It's Goin Down"  but one of my favorite tracks had to be "Let it Bang" with M.O.P.



but yeah... this is last minute, but I wanted to have something...

My apologies...
