WOW great post.
Looking forward to dive into all these videos. Brings back memories from my youth.
Tnx!
@idigit Thank you for your feedbacn and glad that it brings memories from the old golden era of that time, Hope you enjoy mah man! Kudos
Scratch was the movie that single handedly got me into DJing. Cheers for the reminder. I haven't watched this in ages.
Also I think this movie serves as a great little time capsule, given that it was made around the time when DJs were mostly still using vinyl, just switching over to CDJs, and Serato and Traktor were still a ways off.
Mos def mah man this is a gem documentary right there, must see for DJ's, grate diggers and Producers also for the general knowledge on the history of how it all started and how it evolved. Salute to mah fellow DJ @rawselectmusic Glad to meet a like minded in this community. I'll be doing more write ups about other HipHop documentary soon, thank u for the support!
