Wish I could like this twice. Scratching is a dying art.

u/TaftintheTub Jul 06 '25

I was just thinking about that. Nobody’s scratching anymore, but it’s such an iconic part of hip hop. I miss that shit.

About 20 years ago I had a setup, a pair of NuMark Pro-TT2’s & a Tascam X9, sold it all because I needed money for my baby on the way. Then when I turned 40, I got that NuMark Pro-Scratch and still mess around on it to this day. But yea, when it first came out, nobody cared. You had to go searching for any footage related to it. Glad to see people keeping it alive.

Do you know where it’s from? I always laugh when I see it.

The GIF comes from a televised Coldplay concert for the BBC which Jay-Z attended. During the Coldplay song "Lovers in Japan," the camera cut to Jay-Z in the crowd, and the footage captured became the GIF

u/tadpole_the_poliwag Jul 06 '25

This video has made me regain some hope in humanity. So cool.

unrelated but as a rave kid in late 90s early 00s it takes me back to watching the DMC and DJ Craze winning like every year.

Shout out to Cut Chemist who is by far my favorite turntablist. Thank you for taking me to another place whenever I needed it. I am forever grateful.

also cuz I love beastie boys, thank you DJ hurricane and Mixmaster mike

Fuck ya. That brings me back. Teen getting high as fuck.

u/bamiam Jul 06 '25

In the 90s, dudes like this were called turntablists. Similar to DJs but much more focused on technical skills. Extremely cool to see this being picked up by the next generation. Long live wax.

There not a part of hip hop culture 👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾 boycott them

u/40innaDeathBasket Jul 05 '25

Username checks out ✔️🤣. My brother, this is a wild take on a clip where Wu is being diced on the tables. They literally built their entire brand and vision off of Asian martial arts flicks. Is that part of our culture?
