DJ Shadow released this on his label yesterday: http://liquidamber.bandcamp.com/album/ruckazoid-scratchgod-i-ep Discuss.

Anyone going to the London gig tonight?

This is how I practise my flow. I take any song with vocals on it. I try to copy exactly the rhythm and the pitch of the vocals. Then, I find the instrumentals for that song and try to scratch from memory. That's how I build up my flow. Nothing flows like the human voice, after all. Honestly, my flow is pretty much a collage of Organized Konfusion, Big L, Heltah Skeltah, and Redman. Copying exactly is bloody hard, though. Much, much harder than learning a particular scratch. P.S. not a fan of Tim Dog's flow.

I'm awed by Chmielix's scratching. It's like a voice, it talks to you. It's as if there's a life, an organism behind it. Damn, I gotta try the same.

this was the hardest one to decide in round 2. dopez.

I thought you quit djing jimmy

Steve, given your timeline, where would Boot Camp Clik, Def Squad and D.I.T.C. fit in? Post-golden, right?

1 - Chmielix 2 - Chinmachine 3 - Dopez 4 - Redmist 5 - JesusKut 6 - Symatic 7 - Jimmy Penguin 8 - Backtrack

Let me know where the pre-drinks are happening. I'll join ya.

jacken, this is the scratch you asked about.

Yes—COCC.

scratching is not pointless. fuck the haterz. nice kutz maaaan

this is the best skratch video i've seen for more than a year. period. fucking wow.

awwwwwwwesome flares dude.

skratching is a hobby of mine. it's a fantastic distraction. the experience is great. i love talking about it. i love talking/bitching about skratchers. i love hanging out with other skratchers. all in all i do it because i love it. that's the point. it's not pointless. it's a personal pursuit. i'm sure it's the same for battling. given the amount of time you need to invest, you can't do that shit without loving it. this is what a hobby is. it's mine, and i don't pretend it's a hobby that works for everyone. trying to convince others to take up skratching—now that's pointless unless they already have an attraction to it.

Nice shrimps. And crescents. I thought I was listening to Red Jacket for a bit there.

Try it with babies (instead of chirps) and go really fast. I think either Muzzell or Tigerstyle showed me that.

Thanks for cutting out my bad bits.

So who's going from St Pancras?

Should be able to make this one.
