I listened to a bunch of rap when I was a little kid and I grew to really like songs with a lot of, or at least interesting, record scratches. As far as I've heard, the rap game these days don't have a whole lot of scratching or samples. . .just mostly people yelling 'what!' and autotuning. Here are just a few of the songs where I like the scriggity scriggity scratches. Compton's Most Wanted CMW started around the same time that NWA did, but they never blew up worldwide like NWA did. CMW as a group only released 3 albums, then MC Eiht went on his own for the most part. The older CMW songs were sample and scratch heavy which are the best kinds of heavy. Wanted - One of my favorite scratch songs, I always liked the final 6 or 7 seconds the most. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mqi4_6wGb-s Another Victim - scratching the verse 'downest is the Eiht from the CPT' a bunch of times. . .because Eiht is downest. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n8_J0X11Sqc Mike T's Funky Scratch - Self explanatory, really. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT4C1knotI0 Slick Rick Slick Rick's first record 'The Great Adventures of Slick Rick' has a ton of scratches. Some of the standouts: Teacher, Teacher - I really like Rick's rhymes too. He grew up in London so he has a slight British accent, which makes lines like "When I was a lad, my style was bad so I had to use what little bit of knowledge that I had so I quote and I wrote til I was up to par, some rhymes were 'boo-hoo' some rhymes were 'Ha Ha Haaaa" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=03M8f93GCfk Lick the Balls - Such scratches, so wow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O44Dvm6GZEk Eazy-E, NWA, Ice Cube Not a whole lot of scratching in the early stuff. I never got into the synthesizer poo poo that replaced sampling and scratching but to each his own. Still Talkin' - I love the scratches during the 3rd verse, which is basically where they're all at. We used to giggle like bitches to this song when we were little. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ib7H05Rhu-g A Bird in the Hand - Good stuff https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI9qYtpP4R0 Public Enemy Public Enemy had one of the best dj's in Terminator X, too many to choose so I'll just put a few Shut Em' Down - scratching between the lyrics is incredible. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wOcOBjB3uU Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos - One of my favorite songs of the 90's. I used to play Ninja Gaiden to 'It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back' and this song went really well with the boss fights! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM5_6js19eM Contract on the World Love Jam - The opening to 'Fear of a Black Planet'. I rewound and listened to this song about a dozen times before I moved on to the rest of the record. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAEB914yOcw Beastie Boys Licensed to Ill had some pretty basic scratching, mostly the same cut over and over again if you listen to it. However, Paul's Boutique and later albums made up for the weak scratches Licensed to Ill provided. Car Thief - Maybe my favorite song on P'sB. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EupKmHIQK9w Year and a Day - Buried in 'B-Boy Bouillabaisse' I dig the poo poo out of this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV2dxOlGKXQ So What'cha Want - Obviously. . . https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ru3gH27Fn6E There are tons more but this is a decent start. Post up your favorite fresh scratches.
