Master Of The Mix DJ Scratch Vs DJ Revolution

On episode 5 of Smirnoff's Master of The Mix, DJ Revolution is brought back to battle DJ Scratch. Got to Masterofthemix.com for full episodes!

[@djairalert422]

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!!

[@ORIGINALDJZERO]

Yep

[@johnfry8286]

Revolution always uses the same scratch most the time 😅😅😅 Mad over rated

[@vondada1]

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.

[@daillmeskin]

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.

[@MrJSiQ]

qbert was probably like "why the *uck am i here?"

[@caption46]

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

[@murked89]

How is dj skratch even competing he is a legend already

[@mac8050]

Same thing i was thinking lol

[@cervantemccloud9448]

I didnt understand that either

[@AveMcree]

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...

[@db3crashcoursecinema]

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!!!

[@juliolui7517]

scratching with different objects don't mean your killing it...that shit was stupid

[@chrisallistar8007]

Julio Lui Yeah actually it does it called crowd impact you get the crowd you get the win.

[@juliolui7517]

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

[@chrisallistar8007]

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.

[@WeBoogie28]

thats because you know nothing of showmanship..you just an opinionated spectator..skill is capturing a crowd and then superv technique

[@djbond9972]

+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.

[@vondada1]

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.

[@jaydublis]

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

[@alexandermoon7218]

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

[@DylanCole914]

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

[@Iamdjqu1975]

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Iamdjqu1975]

On that note since Im not going to debate on this....all I have to say is....EPMD - RAMPAGE!!!!! THE CUTS SPEAK IT ALL!!!! IM DONE!!!!

[@GalaxieMarauder]

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.

[@GRILLARECORDS]

[@leebrandon3842]

omg this is brutal. I cant believe this show got canceled. revolution sucks sorry. all he can do is chirp, crab, and those stupid 2 finger clicks what are they called twiddles or something. just fast and the same shit over and over and over.

[@chrisallistar8007]

dj roho sadly he does it better than his teacher which is q bert

[@djmeagaaim17]

+LEE BRANDON Was it confirmed that the show was cancelled?

[@diggindeeptv]

FKN LOL!!!! scratch got owned and he knew it, but rev - cmon son you looking mad salty in this LMFAO

[@GalaxieMarauder]

You must be a baby.. Cats were scratching in the 1970s. The Technics SL-1200 came out in 1972. The MkII came out in 1978. Scratching is no more complex now than then. It is a parlor trick. The mixing they do here you can NEVER do in a party because it ruins the musical flow and if the people aint dancing, the club owner aint happy. Biz Markie isnt a scratch DJ for nothing and he never was. He is a hip-hop, breakbeat DJ. The young dudes now worry too much about scratching & not mixing.

[@TargetAcquisition]

Did you listen to Scratch in this challenge? How you sayin he's even CLOSE to Jazzy J!! I've met Scratch and we had a few sessions….he may be legendary in terms of being known and djing….but scratching….nope

[@palomino13]

i could not finish this shit after Rev he could not replicate that shit either , or did he? he don't have the funk.Q and Scratch are funkified.

[@leebrandon3842]

revolution is just the same repetitive fast technical scratching. I think he sucks

[@WeBoogie28]

+LEE BRANDON basic and complicated

[@GayWorldOrder]

+LEE BRANDON yall niqqa soun tite cuz ol skool thugbeat rhymz dope

[@SmoothBlendzTV]

The arrogance of Scratch is insane. Does he really think he scratches as good as Revolution? It was clear they're not even on the same planet!!!

[@AveMcree]

were we watching the same video? lol you talk about biased and your being baised

[@lelandchapman1]

DJ Scratch should NOT! be competing in with a bunch of scrubs. Stupid ass show. Scratch is a damn legend!

[@mufongo]

i never watched this show...just this episode and one other....but WHY THE FUCK was revolution even on this show...and how did he get kicked off?? and i heard total eclipse was a contestant too???? and he got kicked off? how does a dmc champ lose to some rookie ass dj's?? this show is fixed!

[@djmeagaaim17]

+mufongo This show is allegoric to DJ's with actual skill.

[@daillmeskin]

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.

[@DJEmirMixtapes]

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.

[@michaelwilliams6704]

elisa brown I agree with you. That’s like Jazzy Jeff challenging Grandmaster Flash. I really believe Revolution was still in his feelings from being the first one eliminated and felt he needed to redeem himself.

+chris allistar are you kidding me?... you're joking right?

[@chrisallistar8007]

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.

[@DJDAMIAN72]

How is that if they came up around the same time?! 🤷‍♂️

[@Iamdjqu1975]

@@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.

[@DJDAMIAN72]

@@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!

[@turntablistrecords]

That is completely wrong !!! DISK from the SKRATCH PIKLZ was the first to coin TURNTABLIST !!! DISK taught QBERT all of the old skool style of cutting ,,, QBERT started in 1986 and DISK started in 1977 !!! No one on this plant can mess with DISK ,, just cause he's not part of this cheesy world of SERATO dj's ,, thats does'nt give you the right to give out false information ,, do your homework first !!! Cause of DISK there would be no TURNTABLISM !! his bio speaks for itself and his skills !!!

[@djsk1200]

LOL

[@grimboost1554]

Totally right! And Flare was cutting early in the 80s as well and is quite obvious they were way advanced in the game back then And still keeping it going to this day. That's when serious respect comes in to play as well as keeping the art alive and moving forward

[@encdee]

biz marks mug is fucking priceless

[@daillmeskin]

Scratch was dope as hell in the 80's and 90's. You can tell he's rusty. Don't let the rustiness fool you though. He's still a beast.

[@47phredsmile]

Eloise Aka ...Biz is a DJ. Before he was a rapper.

[@AveMcree]

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..

[@deejaykriskrush]

what is a dj if he cant scratch?

[@MixFiend362]

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.

[@djsoulplay]

Revolution killled scratch by faaar, scratch was more fun & creative, BUUT REV kills him technically..

also lets be serious.... crab, flare, and orbits are just expanded versions of the transformer scratch.....

[@AveMcree]

LMAO LMAO LMAO Qbert uses serato these days as welll get with the times... Oops my bad he uses tracktor

[@djpaulsid]

It was DJ Disk who originally coined Turntablist

[@TargetAcquisition]

What does old mixers have to do with this? They are ALL using the same mixer here. And what did Scratch do in this challenge that was so great? Took his shoe off? 1 forward, 1 back…transform. You don't need to feel the record for that. And if Scratch was doing those back then why didn't he come with something more than what he did? So if I take my shoe off and learn that way….i guess that makes me better than Rev too.

[@TargetAcquisition]

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.

[@TargetAcquisition]

I know you said they were better. I know you were defending him. I wasn't. Maybe it's the bullshit of this show but Scratch did not look or sound like a legend in this series. They let all of his cockiness and mouth on camera, but listening to the actual djing was horrible. Now I KNOW Scratch is much better than what was shown in this episode, but come on…they played Rev.

[@screwedupdeejay]

Not really. DJ Scratch came up in that era where battle dj's incorporated all of those things into a set. You can't really fault him for being flashy and knowing how to draw the crowd(and judges) in and get them hype. DJ Revolution was doing some GREAT scratching...but frankly he was boring.

[@carlosmoore614]

Looking at the contest scratch didn't beat revs!! All that sneaker, lip service was not part of the deal!! Oh yeah he did challenge you b!! Love biz, but hasn't been doing it long enough to judge. Mix master Mike yeah!! Maybe they should've had jazzy Jeff. Maybe dj babu nameen. But it looked fun. Plus I'd separate club dj's from trick dj's!! But it was entertaining! Tagg216 peace yo.

[@TargetAcquisition]

You got waaaay off topic. What does a mixer from 1980 have to do with creating transforms? Nothing. Creating DIFFERENT ways to cut is what other djs did. You trying to say the crab scratch is nothing but a transform….EVERY FADER MOVEMENT IS A TRANSFORM.

[@TargetAcquisition]

are you serious? Only 2 are better than Scratch? There were ALOT more djs who were destroying the scene. Just because he was on EPMD doesn't mean he was the top dog. Qbert? Shortkut? D STyles? MMM?

[@GalaxieMarauder]

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.

[@colossus808e]

Damn, none of these DJs can skratch for sh*t. Just Rev; that's why he felt he had something to prove.

[@beezilla87]

clearly from 8:11 to 8:19 revolution murked Scratch. Plus the crowd was east coast biased. Beacuse that transform with his nose,and his shoe was mad sloppy. And it was a battle of 2 styles Old School visual (scratch) vs New School technical (revolution). Scratch is dope for the era he came up in (80's-90's) but his scratches didn't advance with the times "crab, flare,orbit, etc"

[@issacbluecoat7597]

dj scratch was the shit back in the days but no advancement he came totally 1990 on rev nothing new .so what you saying -if your name is dj scratch you SHOULD know how to do ALL of them the big payback i never seen or heard dj scratch do a crab or a flare or a drumming solo body tricks sound wack and sloppy if you dont look at them scratch won the belt one year and funky piano was the shit but he still lost and this id hip hop no need to get racist shit what you clean his house or what dude lol

[@ftnrbhmwk]

@Dj TeeOh 1st of all, those mixers were built different. the faders had more tension. some u couldnt hardly move. 2nd, u couldnt crap on those old of numark, or gemini's..They just starter building the MTX, PVX, like 89, 90 those old mixer use 2 bleed within 6 months.especially a dj who practice scratchin like, Jazz, n Cash.Im not way off the topic. That the bottom line. The battle mixer have sharp, no bleed, instant cut. 3rd of all, if ur not from Cali, u must b from the mid west. like KANSAS.

[@ftnrbhmwk]

@Dj TeeOh.omg u have a lot of comments replying to me. 1st thing DJ Scratch scratchin with his shoe; is not easy Ur hands cant feel the vinyl. The scratches Revolution was bringin; Scratch was doin that n the 80'. Once again, u need 2 listen 2 the EPMD cuts Twice again, they didnt have cut, sharp battle faders n the 80's..U know what, I know so much about this game, maybe thats y MAX POUNDER; u know the who has the BATTLE vids. ask me to to get with him as friend n subscriber "I get with u MAX"

[@ftnrbhmwk]

1st of all DON'T DISRESPECT JAZZY JEFF!!!! I c u one of the Jealous Cali Kats.. Jazzy did invent the transform scratch..2nd of all crapping is just transform scractching real fast... N Jazzy didnt use a battle mixer in 1986 or 85.. Jazzy Jeff was the 1 who incorporated the turntables to be verticle with the pitch control @ the top.. U talkin real reckless about Jazzy Jeff. He was 13 14 yrs old in 1980 doin parties in NCY. @ whole n the walls sometimes. Thats how good he was n still is..Wow!!!

[@ftnrbhmwk]

1st of all what r u talking about? I said Joe Cooley.. Did u read my statement.. Omg.. I was defending DJ Scratch.. I said Philly DJ's were beating NYC and Cali Dj in the 80's when it came to battling. World. Music Seminar.which Scratch had won.OMG..Cash Money was scratching was way ahead of those Cali Dj's u mention.. Again, they didnt have BATTLE MIXER WITH BATTLE SCRATCH FADERS IN THE 80'S..SMH.. All u have 2 do is look @ "find n Ugle women" n "might hard rocker"..

[@ftnrbhmwk]

They were cutting, chirp, chirp...Jazzy Jeff Invented the transform scratch.. Which everybody does now!!!!!!!! Now they call it crabbing now.. Are you kidding me??? Joe Cooley can't come close to Cash Money or Jazz.. Philly DJ's were fuckiing Cali Dj's and NYC Dj's all day back in those days None of those Dj's you mention as far as scratching goes; could not close close to DJ SCRATCH.. All u have to do is type EPMD vid Type in SO WHAT YOU SAYIN'.. I can't believe u just mention DST. LOL. SMH..

[@ftnrbhmwk]

hahaha.. It must be lots of HATERS on this page.. Disrespecting DJ Scratch.. Nobody was scratching like him in the 80's. All you have to do is listen to EPMD.... those scratches were technical and way ahead of it's time.Nobody was scratching like that..Eric B, Marley Marl, Davy D, Chuck Chill Out.. And no battle scratch faders back then. Only DJ's that are better than Scratch are DJ CASH MONEY AND JAZZY JEFF..Only certain races of ppl Hate when black dj's do body trick while battling (WHITES)!!

[@Iamdjqu1975]

Scratch beat Rev? not likely, not ever likely. I was a Scratch fan when he was with EPMD but he aint fucking with Rev!! that was some BS!! pick up any of Rev's work and get some of Scratch's ( that's cuts not beats) and I bet you'll understand my point!

***** You're fucked! Q bert litterally looked up to him before he was a name. Scratch was a champion before q bert entered puberty.

chris allistar my opinion!! And growing up seeing Scratch Perform and being in the same era, for years Scratch hasn't evolved or advanced. But to each his own opinion. But he has skills but never up to par as far as a Q-Bert Now Days... And of course everyone has to start from scratch but no advancement come on now????

[@chrisallistar8007]

***** That's very fair to say ( no advancement) on either part.My guess athough I know not personally is they both have sat on their @#% being respected for what they know.Sorry dude but Qbert really sucks bad.He can scratch but he can't juggle he can't mix and please for *&^% sakes remember that two of his three wins were with a crew and his solo win was regional only.He's highly over rated the same way.But as you said to each his own

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

[@stendari07]

Revolutin had more skills no dout. Scratch was just oldskooltrick type a guy cause he did knew that he loses in skills. People who knows of scratching, knows the trued.

Another thing Scratch is using fucking relative mode in Serato to make the record unskipable while Rev is using real wax..

Anybody could do the bullshit that Scratch did-that shit was so simple. All of those gimmicky tricks weren't even on beat.
