Rob Swift - "understand what a person is doing.. learn it.. make it better", "keep the art progressing" Amen brother!

This video is a GOLDMINE. So cool to see the techniques and skill on display here by these gentlemen. As a child of the 1980’s and growing up on 1970’s-1990’s rock music AND hip hop music, this video is like a technical manual helping me to explore and understand the “what & why” I found turntable scratching so fascinating and loved artists like Run DMC, LL Cool J, and so many more. Throw on the movie “Beat Street,” let me get some cardboard for my breakdancing crew and let’s get busy!

So much knowledge from the greatest djs to ever touch a Turntable

It cannot be overstated - this is THE scratch primer. Insane.

This is how teachers should be. Professional, skilled, humble. Men I got a lot of respect for!

Rob Swift has always been a teacher

Flare told me that he was trying to transform and accidentally came up with a new scratch.

"You can use the marks if you want, if you're on that level. Or you could use headphones if you're just spinning in the clubs or just spinning for...at picnics or whatever you're gonna do." RIP Radia!

So cool. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!!!

17:30....that's what she said!

cash money was the shit, way above jazzy jeff.

50:26

From what Ive head and read. Dj spinbad also out of Philly is said to be the creator of the transformer scratch. Jeff & cash money also did it. But when all said and done props goes to Jeff not for creating it but for show casing & giving it the name.

JAZZY JEFF CREATED THE TRANSFORM SCRATCH
