Laffa Yett My exact thought lol!

[@spencerdoyley8143]

Looooooool

[@blackned9704]

second that !

[@patrickincharlestonsc4935]

Watched this loop for like many years lol. I’m with you bro.

[@777NuBelgrade]

PLEASE !

[@microspark]

this has got to be one of the sickest drops in the entire history of hiphop.

[@revoslaxx]

Still

[@hcm1457]

THEE sickest drop....FIFY 😮

[@itiswhatitis4821]

And out of nothing 😅 what a master

[@bigLanky34]

My god. 17 years later and this still bangs.

[@KarloSalgado]

May 2022 and I still come back to play this on repeat. This is art folks and it will live forever!!

[@tommills1985]

The whole documentary was amazing, but this is absolutely the highlight. I still think about it regularly since watching it when it first came out. It’s just genius.

[@Niarfor]

Yep, I've been coming back to this for many years now, and every time I can never listen to it just once, probably 20 + times each time. I hope this video is never deleted...

[@boogiepep]

every month one time

[@aqauriumaddict]

Can you believe it's been about 20 years since this came out.. timeless!

[@SeanLovin]

It is man, it's probably one of the best scratch sets in history. Selection, sound manipulation, mixing, cuts, creativity, complexity, abstract, simplicity. In less than 50 seconds.

[@FreshLyte]

Easily the top 49 seconds of all content KZbin has to offer.

[@KingsBlend1]

I wish this video was about an hour long...

[@divizors]

I m with you bro

[@hcm1457]

I make it an hour long LOL

[@LawrenceCrecy]

All DJs can go home now. I remember seeing this back in 06 and could never watch another DJ scratch without wanting to tell them to go see how Mixmaster Mike does it on this video.

[@DuffmanOhNo]

Back here 13 years after watching and doing the same thing to show somebody .

[@superluvdub]

My favourite scene of the whole doc

[@DJJESSEJ]

What documentary is this from?

[@masterblockwarrior]

@@DJJESSEJ Scratch by Doug Pray

[@jaydoe647]

My fav part is when shadow and qbert are together in the same room

[@Niarfor]

I've been coming back to this video for many years now, and every time I can never listen to it just once, probably 20 + times each time. I hope this video is never deleted...

[@baadbwoy4381]

He looks like he knows some thing we dont know, before he starts the scratch. A prodigy

[@travislarson9776]

LOL

[@11CTS-V]

He's seen the other side for sure. My man is on the next level

[@matt4477]

Thank god for Mike

[@crystalbirch298]

I caught that too. A glimmer in his eye and his excitement to share such and ill scratch 😊

[@matt4477]

Been coming back to this for 15 years

[@sonofdonpedro8853]

I Watch this once a month!

[@matt4477]

Haha. I promise I watch more

[@ezioauditore8845]

you know it ;) BCHadoken!!

[@bikeswillsavetheworld]

This scene (and this film) changed everything for me

[@Arenow]

This is art. No Ableton, no edits, just skill and talent.

[@soulspace9088]

One of the best videos on KZbin. Not an opinion, fact.

[@Nanku42]

indeed indeed

[@c3h3o3]

true

[@MASONMAXEY22]

100% fact

[@MustacheMaxKC]

I almost forgot to watch this today.

[@JordansDroid]

16 years later this is still a banger

[@jasonnocero6497]

I could listen to this over and over and over…..

[@3ddvisuals501]

Man... I haven’t seen this in years had it in my mind looked it up and it’s still so satisfying hearing this particular scene.

[@bushhippie7372]

Almost twenty years later this shit slaps so hard.

[@NathanBeveridge]

I was looking for a different clip from this doco and stumbled across this... this is my favourite part and I have skipped to this part on the DVD so many times to show people. Glad to find it on KZbin! I love the look on mike’s face before he starts one of the greatest mixes... what a master.

[@Nickel138]

Took an amazing sound, Robert Johnson, a masterpiece in history, and make it a whole new thing that’s super dope. He took art, and elevated to a point where it’s a whole new piece of art. Amazing. I remember first watching the documentary, and this is what locked me in.

[@AudioAndroid]

nobody can do it like Mixmaster Mike ^.^

[@TriptoCo]

You're the GOAT of the spin. No one can come close to MMM! No one!

[@Craigo5000]

0:10 Checks interviewer. Smiles. Looks down the lens. Smiles. Looks back at interviewer and smiles again... 0:21 all hell breaks loose...

[@elphilosopher]

This is my favourite scratch its embeded in my memory!

[@simongumn3154]

Man I'm gonna be 40 next year but it still sounds the same...

[@db742006]

haha whenever im down and need cheering up i listen to this!!!mixmaster mike is a legend!!!!

[@cam5364]

Literally one of my top 3 KZbin videos.

[@untrue7295]

The whole tune bassline with him scratching is 100% needed!!!!!!!!!

[@doogieddkb]

my favorite one yet. Dropped in our lap for our listening pleasure.

[@BIgHOMIEaZ]

i seen this in high school and been scratching ever since, glad i seen it

[@cannywf1]

Yeah, scratching your arse I bet.

[@FADEINEXT]

17 years and I still love this so much!! use it all the time, listen all the time. its so so so so so dope

[@louiseknox4449]

One of my best memories of all times!

[@MASONMAXEY22]

I wish this shit was a whole fucking joint ..gives me CHILLS

[@clokwize]

mixmaster mike is one of the pinoneers of skratch history!

[@themadscientest]

best turntabalist ever he scratches like crazy but lets the music be its natural form too

[@cbwavy]

This is the definition of Hip Hop.

[@myoslonorway]

This is just brilliant! Love MixMaster Mike!

[@larshogue1618]

I had this documentary!!!

[@raymondpissed]

His face just before he starts Dead Prez is fucking ace. It's almost as if he's saying: "Wait til you hear what I'm about to do now." Quality.

[@keorodriguez]

There can only be ONE ❤❤❤❤

[@therealdjeat]

Prolly the one of the most bad ass thing I've ever seen a DJ do..

[@BeatProfessor]

It's one of the original blues artists from the Southern Delta in Mississippi. His name is Robert Johnson. I love it when tableists bring in the old and mix it with the new. That just gave Mr. Johnson a fresh new breath of air.

[@matt4477]

Thank god for Mike

[@scuc831]

Probably my favorite scene in this whole documentary. I love this film....so ILL!

[@93nicd]

Watched it about 10 times its still incredible.

[@MateoKupstysChica]

For my ears, the best music to "scratch" is, precisely the old one, you know, blues, funk, jazz and the like. The mixture is great!

[@ale050505]

scratching with country & rap, that's awesome !!!

[@htiawe]

MIXMASTER MIKE IS THE MAN!

[@mandrasigma]

This is pretty cool. It may not sound very well mixed but it actually was. He started the dead prez beat on the 4th beat to lauch into the session on 1.

[@andreasprethaler5705]

This was the first Video from mix master mike was i have see in the past.Thats a good mix.Klassik and hip hop.Kreativ.

[@TonyHarrison78989]

Listen to this every few months. Gets better each time.

[@ColdasCarter]

Oh man is he a god, I love it when talks about thinking he was communicating with aliens.

[@albertdaveys]

i love this dvd could watch it all day long.......

[@doublecheeserecordsNC]

I find that after four years on knowledge of this clips existence it remains to be one of mankinds dopest skratch sentences.

[@joshua.mulholland]

Dead prez - hip hop IS THE GREATEST SONG OF ALL TIME !

[@hotfuss84]

Robert Johnson "Ramblin' On My Mind"

[@styhy]

❤

[@djgman00]

Totally awesome, went on here to find this video. The rest of "Scratch" is freaking cool too.

[@HellolzEveryone]

holy shit, robert johnson is one of the guitarists that inspired me to play guitar, and mixmaster mike is one of the people who inspired me to start scratching. NOW I SEE THEM SIDE BY SIDE?

[@OOOLDSKOOOOOL]

so insane. come back to listen to this like once a week..

[@laustenfound]

I revisit this video every once in a while, it does the body good.

[@SeanLovin]

Legendary.

[@nintruendo]

I fast-forward to this part of the movie all the time.

[@miata350]

I like how it completely changes musical genres with the same music in a split second

[@mr1zog]

Found the dvd last week, watching it now 😁🤘

[@LAEUROS1]

Man, never thought I’d hear someone scratching up some Robert Johnson.

[@alexk9614]

This part always gives me chills. I grew up listening to Bad Boy Bill scratch. I was listening to cassette tapes I'd buy from local raves, no track list, nothing. We refer to songs as to how it made us feel.

[@Tadesan]

I like his smile as he knows what's coming :)

[@matthenley3886]

0:18 that face you make when you know some shit is about to go down

[@bjtucker5]

The dopest, illest 49sec of all time 🐐

[@malek2900]

j'ai eu la chance de voir mike deux fois, à chaque fois on avait l’impression de voir un gamin de 12 ans derrière ses platines. meme apres une si grosse carriere le gars s'eclate toujours. thanks mike

[@PendingName]

By far one of the best scenes in "Scratch." How did he even think of mixing these two songs?!

[@donnybrascocoliogne819]

Now thats DEE-JAYING!!!!! Creative n making beats... GrandMaster Mixmaster....Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiike.

[@OOOLDSKOOOOOL]

seeing this made me go out and get the dvd.. some reall cool stuff on there..

[@kozzyphoto]

lol ive been watching this video for 17 years jfc

[@mikecwir]

First I saw this clip (back in 2006), then I bought the DVD, then I bought a pair of 1210mk2s, then I hunted down both these records (wasn't easy nor cheap back then) and then I tried to learn it. Obviously I was never able to play it anywhere near how MMM, but at least I learned how to scratch a little, learned to mix, collected 100s of vinyls over the years and now my 14 year old daughter is listening to music on those decks every day and she started collecting her own records. And it all started with this youtube video.

[@mportugais]

man i was looking for this exact demonstration from mixmaster mike. I remember when i saw scratch it gave me goosebumps ... still does! i was prepare to search for this for a long time but i got it in a second thanks to you!

[@DCSTUBZ]

Definitely got chills when I first heard/saw this.

[@Holdingolden]

this never gets old over the years, just such a great idea

[@mrmeoff]

I can watch this over and over again, sic!!!

[@eclipsepatent]

That was awsome mate you have me hooked. Thanks for the video clip as it was really great. Cheers Wayne from Essex.

[@KiLlaSnaiLZz23]

i can listen to this over and over again

[@alleycat8509]

i know the scratches by heart and sing along when i watch this video

[@GREALER]

The greatest thing I ever seen !!!

[@BrucknerMotet]

As a musician myself, I like to lean towards the values of exploring the potentialities and building on the static (i.e., dead) works of others. This is not plagiarism, mind you, but growth. An experiment that succeeds or fails based on the listener's personal tastes and subjective judgments. Speculating on how the deceased composer might have thought about Mike's scratch is counterproductive. Artists often want their music to outlive them. Others are content to make music in this life.

[@trawczi]

he proved his musical imagination with this one! and i love his mad face when he puts on the first record :) priceless! :D

[@Gunsrosesacdc]

this is honestly the best thing Ive ever heard

[@santoro19782]

i was lucky enough to see him playing live with the beastie boys and solo and he's just unreal with the beats he digs and the way he scratches......

[@thebox1976]

I love this. I really like the point at 18 seconds when his face shows that the good times are happening! Quality

[@3viz404]

I’ve watched this bout a thousand times

[@maxbizz94]

The king of scratching best beat !!!

[@recogntion]

i have the dvd that this scene is taken from its ''scratch'' anyone who doesn't u should get it. its a great insight into the scene of hip-hop viynl digging and scratching's evolution load of rare footage from africa bambatta to qbert to invisible scratch hampsters.... well worth a watch

[@BrucknerMotet]

@AbraXaDabra Think of it this way AbraXaDabra ... Robert Johnson here is being celebrated and his the life of his music is being prolonged, extended, expounded upon. Mike is slowing it down so you can hear it better, as if using a microscope to magnify the image of the music. Mike is giving credence to specific portions of Johnson's music that cause thrill and magic in the ear. Mike expands these moments and creates. Johnson would be blown away.

[@HuYWoO]

this is why he is the mix MASTER

[@ben_silver]

Now have it as my ringtone, can't get enough of this...

[@sapien82]

fuckin class that shit blew my mind when I first seen it , two of my favourite songs in one

[@djaywrek]

I always loved this scene in the movie. It just tripped my mind out!
