I love dj scratch, that’s my dude, but any real dj knows that dj revolution way crazy sharper with his scratches, dj scratch was just very smart to disguise this fact by, adding theatrical sneaker 👟 tricks, and mouth scratching, if it came down to body tricks and triple beat chasing, etc etc, scratch would probably win anyway, but Dj Revolution’s cuts were ridiculously sharp!!
Revolution is a beast, but he's a turntablist. Scratch is a "DJ". Im from the same school as Scratch, he's actually a friend by the way. We're considered old school. We learn to actually SCRATCH more with hand movement, control, balance. A lot of newer school DJs or Turntablists, are all about the fader. But even though the term Turntablist was coined by Babu, Scratch would be considered one of the first true turntablist of my time. I "scratch" my first record in '83 at the age of 11.
DJ SCRATCH is a Pioneer in this GAME.You can't beat him unless your a QBERT type OR Jazzy Jeff that can perfect a great Experimental Scratch Mix,which takes years to perfect!!!
It wasn't about who was MORE hip hop. It was about who had MORE skills. Rev killed Scratch. And it hurts for me to say that because Scratch is a pioneer and legend. What I thought was very cocky and arrogant was when Scratch was saying "how dare you go against me. I'm DJ Scratch." Well, as far as I am concerned Rev is a legend too and he could have said the same thing towards Scratch. That's what hip hop is about. Battling.
I'm an old school scratch dj, since '86. This is a classic old school vs. new era battle. Amongst DJs, Rev wins. But old schoolers have more showmanship. Move the crowd, thats why I started dj'ing. Hence more old school djs that travel the world making real money for their performances, and DMC champs still practicing in they moms basement. TRUE. But also, I find that a lot, not all, of newer DJs dont have the fundamentals that older djs have. They trying to crab, flare, etc right out the gate.
Dj Scratch is old school, Revolution is from the new school of Scratching Thought. Im from the Dj Scratch era where all our movements was in our wrist work but the new school djs movements come from there fingers which is way smarter. Im converting to finger work ayyy! Revolution #SALUTE
James Willingham You guys had everything wrong!lol Best dj there was q Bert and he showed signs of humbleness, even though Allen those competitors you can tell they barely starting scratching 3 months ago back then, dj revolution he's very good and been doing this for a while But him his the example all of the good combos of scratching the made him Seem legit, but when you see his personality is just a typical hater with the shity attention get you know where, Is very obvious the participants were expecting a very good vibe for him But nah the guy is trash instead to be cool and be humble and help the participants and help them and motivate them Every one knows the he was very good The fact that you're pro doesn't mean it made it okay for you to treat them like shit because they're just starting learning Like he really stupid, once you're a top dj other DJ's look up to you and this revolution guy was so pathetic that he already knows the winner of the event he's not a pro scratching dj Instead just to congratulate the winner He wants to battle him knowing the other dj just started scratching!lol He should've just leave like that And be more humble and be like yeah Me and the winner we gonna team up and play together, to make him look good Because revolution got no class Why he would wanna battle the rookie winner when they all know his a pro He's just pathetic a hater than thinks is the best dj in the world and the type of dj that hates on you if you have an event in the weekend and he does he's mad because you got work and thinks he deserves it more because he's the best dj ever! Fuck the dumbfuck
I met Scratch and he is cool as a fan! I asked him how you go go on Master of the Mix, know dang well you was gonna win! He chuckled, gave me dap and we parted ways! #Jude2!
Mixing music, not using beat counters but listening for compatibility in the melody is how you get to be a great DJ. Young dudes now use too many technical cheaters to compensate for not understanding the melody & tempo of the records they play. In the olden days dudes had to push records to keep the tempo & would cue a record manually. Look up Larry Levan, Shep Pettibone, Patrick Adams, Rock Master Scott, Terminator X, Jam Master Jay, Tat Money, those guys could work a record & the crowd.
I love DJ Scratch's scratches from the EPMD Days he was one of my inspirations. Revolution won that scratch off in my opinion, his cuts were way cleaner and much more complex. But being that Revolution was unfortunately already eliminated in an earlier challenge this was more of a demo than an actual challenge.
Crabs and flares dont always make you dope dj.....if you dont have showman skills all out then you aint a DOPE DJ!!!!!! SALUTE TO DJ SCRATCH!!!! A TRUE PIONEER IN HIP HOP DJS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rev's cuts were super dope, no disrespect to any of these dj's cause they are all dope in their own way BUT it is sad that cats who are in a battle on a national level don't have their scratch game up to par
Remedy21 No i'm not. That's fact.He's only been scene juggling once in the 92 dmc.After facing and befriending the X men he stuck to his guns scratching.Why the piece of crap?Because of he sold out with Vestax which went under in 2014.Turntablism as Babu called it was way ahead of the coined terminology. Just check MARRS,Herbie,Jazzy Jeff(the actual first 2 albums b side were dedicated to his cuts) and so many others.You dumb asses keep following never leading thus DMC is fading which is sad. Q owes more to mix master mike but yet they parted ways?Says a lot. Mike was way better so was apollo.The X men and so on.I've been around and give the credit where it's due.
As much as I love and respect Scratch, he's still stuck in the 80's and 90's. That's what the battles in the 80's and 90's consisted of.....gimmicks and tricks.
Scratch lost Revolution precision scratches and speed will always beat a dj who has to use gimmicks to make up for the fact that he can't scratch.If it were back in 89-90-91 i would be impressed with Scratch,,,,seen and heard it all before
I respect both of them for their style. Rev is a beast, as well as Scratch (even tho he used the gimmicks). On a bigger note: HIP HOP saved ALL of the liquor companies from financial ruin. So now with all of this competition, liquor has officially attached itself to a culture that was once labeled a fad by the media & will control & destroy the DJ & MC culture if the ones not aware don't see it.
BRAP! loved it! Old school took out q berts prodigy LMAO! That's why DJ Scratch is a NMS 1988 champ! EPMD's original ! but I have to ask why he look so much like 50 cent at the end?
chris allistar its a SCRATCH battle dude...its all perspective i guess, but idk what your background is....but in a SCRATCH battle, I rather get a nod from a Q/Craze/A-Trak than a thousand Kendall Jenners throwing their hands in the air and wooing
Julio Lui K that's fair two respective styles that have clashed and basically killed turntablism.See I respect your judge list but do remember that these battles contain hidden politics you don't see such as sponsership, friendship, and even crowd heckling. My generation made yours, almost 30 yrs of copy cats.Dj scratch won NY new music seminar 1988 the winner after that is known as the pioneer of juggling that's Dj Miz. Crabs,Tweaks,twiddles are just transformers with fingers instead of wrists.Scratch won it's not hard to tell.
+chris allistar again you are talking nonsense (apart from scratch winning I'm with you on that). dj miz didn't start beat juggling it's actually Steve d who is credited for that who won the NMS in 1990,as for various scratches just being transformers with fingers,well that's just ignorant.
well if that was the case then you respect what the east coast did for scratching in general........ between jazzy jeff, spinbad, and cash money, they brought evolutionized turntablism from the very start...
the breakdown of this battle is this-if this was based on just scratching,Rev won it but since this was an over all battle DJ Scratch won with a combo of visual and technical-visual using tricks.plus he was in his hometown-really.-overall both are dope dj's
i think its harder to do cuts really fast like flares or chirps. rather then doing them slow n focusing on different cuts. ioonoe it just depends. i like revs stuff
dj scratch hasnt been practicin for years, never forget time he played hey mickey your so fine ,after i had masiv crowd set up for him ,, nxt minute everyone left hehe
its funny how all these critics here are saying Revolution is better than Scratch but guess what.........He is a pioneer of this DJ shit and without him THERE IS NO DJ REVOLUTION!!!!!!!! SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!! LIKE IT OR DONT LIKE WHAT I SAY........OH WELL!!! RESPECT TO THE LEGEND DJ SCRATCH!!
It is possible that DJ Revolution may have been better than DJ Scratch but the way I see is t was DJ Revolution was Tommy “The Hitman” Hearn, Viktor Duplaix was “Sugar” Ray Learnard and Scratch was Marvelous Marvin Hagler. DJ Revolution was still pissed about losing to Vik because he went technical, so he tried to redeem himself by going for scratch and got knocked out.
That I agree with you on. Scratch did make him look foolish because of his battle experience. But you can not honestly say to me that Scratch can cut anywhere near as good Revolution.
respect forever to the pioneers of hip hop..I never liked kid capri. his style is wack. if what he has is an actual style.. i am wack as well so there you go.thanks for the upload
the speed alone makes revolutions more complex, i can mimick qs first all day, but takes some study to really get revs pattern down, hard off of one listen
@@DJDAMIAN72 that should be simple.....What legendary group was DJ Scratch a part of that made classic records in the late 80s early 90s????? Where was DJ Revolution at around that time frame?? I'll wait.
@@Iamdjqu1975 You don't have to be a member of a big Rap group to be a great DJ/turntablist... how about legendary DJs like Cash Money, X-Ecutioners, Q-Bert, some of the Scratch Pickles and some of the Beat Junkies (I said some of them because Babu and Mixmaster Mike were in 2 big Rap groups)... those are just some examples but there are so many great legendary DJs who were not members of big Rap groups and nobody cares about that when talking about the greatest DJs/turntablists out there. DJ Scratch is a dope DJ & a dope beat producer BUT when it comes to just DJ skills I think DJ Revolution is on a slightly higher level. I remember having my mind blown plenty of times while listening to DJ Revolution on the wakeup show back in the mid 90's and I still get the same vibe when I hear him spin now, he is still one of the most skilled DJs out there... both are 2 very dope DJs though!
mixmaster mike and qbert I can totally agree with.... flare not so much outside of his variation of the transformer scratch...... only thing I give flare credit for on some DJ stuff is his vinyl sets Ive owned in the past before dirt style started dropping better tools with qbert... hell it took qbert, apollo, and mike to take down DJ david from my hometown..back to the battle though, Rev lost because he was scratch too hard and the needle skipped lets be real..
Revolution and Scratch are both dope, Revloution is more technical with speed, Scratch is more visual. However in the battle Revolution won that in my opinon
opinions.. main.. when it comes to Djing.. there is no old school or new.. a cut is a cut.. a transform is a transform.. a battle is a battle.. a win is a win and a loss is a loss. Scratch won because he was just as nice to look at as it was to listen to, Revolution was good to hear.. but Scratch put on a show, and thats what did it. Remember, its not what you do, but what you do while you doing what you do. lol
This man right here knows his shit. Also, didn't DJ Cash Money did it first as a battle DJ in the late 80s? Philly DJs were very tech back in the days.
@djstarscream ...VERY GOOD POINT!! But you have to understand, Q is like the Teacher, and Rev and Scratch are the students...Rev EASILY won that challenge, but the judges screwed him over...as usual
I do agree Rev killed it right there, b.u.t. you have to go back in the days to Scratch's performances on the EPMD albums 'n see that he basically "invented" that scratch! Rev shoulda got funkier on that one...Peace!
She probably wanted to get some US exposure, and felt she was qualified cause she's a deejay. It's like that one techno/house deejay from Holland competing in the 06' DMC World Finals.
Uh, no. Creator of the transformer scratch is Spinbad. And not the Spinbad from NY. The Spinbad from Philly. Jazzy Jeff was the first DJ to put it on a record, however.
No one is dissin Jazzy J….I'm not from the west coast. And just because he invented TRANSFORMING does NOT mean he invented crabbing. All scratching is a transform…but there are different techniques that were invented by others. You can't sit up and say the crab scratch is the same as the 1 click or 2 click that Jazzy Jeff came up with.
Rev got Scratch on the cuts but Scratch got him on the showmanship. But Scratch wasn't even suppose to be going up against those DJ's. That was some weak shit. He's a pro vs them.
disagree, you clearly have seen Cutmaster DC perform in the 80s. He used to use bike tires, basketballs and stuff like that while cutting on THREEE turntables.
qbert was probably like "why the *uck am i here?"

Is very obvious the participants were expecting a very good vibe for him
But nah the guy is trash instead to be cool and be humble and help the participants and help them and motivate them
Every one knows the he was very good
The fact that you're pro doesn't mean it made it okay for you to treat them like shit because they're just starting learning
Like he really stupid, once you're a top dj other DJ's look up to you and this revolution guy was so pathetic that he already knows the winner of the event he's not a pro scratching dj
Instead just to congratulate the winner
He wants to battle him knowing the other dj just started scratching!lol
He should've just leave like that
And be more humble and be like yeah
Me and the winner we gonna team up and play together, to make him look good
Because revolution got no class
Why he would wanna battle the rookie winner when they all know his a pro
He's just pathetic a hater than thinks is the best dj in the world and the type of dj that hates on you if you have an event in the weekend and he does he's mad because you got work and thinks he deserves it more because he's the best dj ever!
