Why so little scratches on bay area records ?

[Raphas]

can yall think of bay area songs with scratches in the hooks ? This gotta be some old school because I don't think I heard many spins on westcoast lps lately especially the Bay Area. I heard AP9, jt or mac dre allfrumthai put some but on the real not that often.
While the east coast maybe abuse some of this shit I think bay cats can find djs just about anywhere and add a little extra to the hooks. I have to listen to mixtapes to hear scratches feel me. Is it cause the Bay ain't feelin it ?

"City of Dope" - yukmouth has scratches.

I think it's because most DJs are whiteboys who want to be black, or niggas who want to be white - either way all they do is spin "Jeru the Damaja" and spin on cardboard. I don't think the bay has too many faggots like that.

There's this cat, DJ Epic that did some scratches on Lynch by Inch. He makes some tight ass beats too.

They need more DJ involvement out here thats for sho...

Well, that's quite a generalization...I'm a 100% Bay Area DJ and u can ask anybody who's met me if I'm lyin...I don't wanna be anything but Italian dog...and I've liked to think I've paid some dues in this to not be lumped into that category...True, alot of DJs are "underground", but it's also because hip-hop in GENERAL has forgotten about the importance of the DJ...

Mark is also one of the only Gay Dj's from the Bay.



j/k
Hit me boy. I need to get with that twerk.

 

[Mr. Illmannered]

Dont even reply to that shit Mark. One of the baddest dj's in the bay period, DJMARK7 - Raphas - when you do hear cuts on albums in the Bay, its usually courtesy of Mark. One of the latest albums he did cuts on was Black C's new one.

I agree that scratching is a forgotten art in much of the bay rap coming out in recent years. I try, but pretty much suck at it, so the cuts on my records are fairly simple. :cheeky:

 

[V-BOY]

yeah we need more of that shit in the bay

 

[Saucy Sounds]

From what I've heard there are plenty of scratches on Pat Rich's new cd, Bulletproof Pimpin' Pistol Packin'...1

 

[MeloTrauma]

Nobody in the Bay needs a DJ anymore, because nobody here hardly presses vinyl anymore. Its a digital age and in the Bay Area rap market where money comes before art, the hustle dont cater to the turntablists

Of course I know who DJ mark 7 is illmannered, heated mixes and producing. I liked the showcase he did at studioZ. Stay busy
