I did something different from my normal broadcast with this video. The description has different chapters so you can skip over sections you might not be interested in. How do you like this type of video? Hopefully you learned something new.
dope upload .
Nice I am learning what I forgot from the 90's. Great tutorial!!! Keep spinning
I was DJing in the early 90's at a couple of clubs & did a Hip Hop, House show on ST. Michaels College. I am 50 y.o. now & bought two 1200MKII turntables a few month ago. Now am back doing what I love-spinning at home. This video is great. I did forget a lot of what your teaching being away from spinning & mixing. It's my hobby, passion!!!. I have been building you my old school Hip Hop, dance & House 12" singles every week.
That's dope to hear! Happy you are getting back into it. Make sure to check out Discogs to get all of that old school vinyl you might need to repurchase.
@@HipHopHistoryGuy yes I have buying a lot from Discord it's a great site. Watching you video I heard some Lords Of The Underground. Now I am going to get "funky child", & more from them. I am a huge Public Enemy & A Tribe Called Quest listener. I am from Burlington, VT, keep in touch. Thanks for the the video & info. Not ready to go digital, real DJ's spin vinyl. From one old school dj to another Be Safe.
@@cjsocool3307 Keep in touch. You can DM me on any of my socials @hiphophistoryguy
@@HipHopHistoryGuy sounds good, Be Safe.
this was very informative and helpful! thank you 🙏🏽
Glad it was helpful!
very insightful man thank you
Nice! I just picked up "what I'm after" 12" single. Also I did learn some things from this video. I was shacky on the beat juggling. Keep Spinning!
Great to hear! Happy I was able to help. Keep watching my mix shows and if you see a trick you like, just try your best to mimic it. "Musepic" app allows you to reference a specific begin/end time of a CZcams video so you can just loop the one part you are trying to learn.
Very informative!
They really had to do things the hard way back in the day.
Chopping up samples on my MPC seems like an absolute dream compared to this.
Respect to the DJ! Haha.
It's more fun to master! haha
Hey man, just a young teen from Boston trying to get into scratching. Appreciate everything you taught me in this video man super informative and I can’t wait to get more into this shit and get some equipment.
Dope! From a fellow Bostonian - good luck and keep practicing.
@@HipHopHistoryGuy appreciate the love man, probably gonna come back to this comment section if I have any serious questions if you don’t mind.
@@ajreid2529 You can ask me any questions you would like, either here or via any of my socials which can be found at my official site: hiphophistoryguy.com
Ayy MASS represent 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 looks like I found someone to look up to that’s somewhat local
This was so DOPE. I’m tryin to come up on 4gs ASAP
Happy you liked it/ learned from it!
I'm never going to scratch, but this is an awesome tutorial.
Thanks for sharing these techniques ❤
Hope they help! Amy questions, just ask.
Hey Bro! Thanks for the tutorial
No problem, hoping you found it helpful!
I used to DJ in the 2000's. I started with some cheap ministry of sound belt drive turntables and progressed onto some SL1200's. I could beat match and stuff perfectly and do a lot of interesting long mixes but I never learnt to scratch. I never actually looked into learning properly, if there was something around like this back then it would have been awesome. I don't really DJ any longer but I was thinking of maybe picking up a cheap-ish controller some day and maybe I can finally teach myself!
It's never too late to learn! I found scratching on a controller to be quite difficult, coming from turntables. I still love the feeling of x2 Technic 1200s and a mixer with a nice cross fader.
Fresh
I love scratch
oh yeah the technique 1200s came out in 1972!
Can someone help me understand my my scratches have no power they seems extremely weak.
Audiotecnica LP120X
That's a bit of a difficult question to answer. What exactly do you mean by "have no power"?
I miss that website.

Whats the mic youre using in the video if not the one in the description?
Some junky Audio-Technica mic. Just get a Shure SM-58 (mentioned in the description) along with a pre-amp (like a Focusrite) and you'll be much better off.
@@HipHopHistoryGuy I like the quality:)
does scratching ruin the records or turntable?
Over time, it will deteriorate the sound quality of the vinyl especially if you scratch the same exact part(s) and you have a lot of weight on your needle.
How much weight you should put the arm on?
As light as possible without the needle jumping when you scratch or back cue. It will vary based on DJ due to how everyone's hands are different when manipulating the vinyl on the turntable.
SMH 🤦🏾♂️ I’ve gotten juked!!!! I sold those same turntables at a pawnshop for $80 😢!!! I was young and didn’t know any better.
If you sold even a single Technic 1200 turntable for $80, you got completely robbed unless it was beyond repair. I've been monitoring the prices of these since the mid 90s and I don't recall ever seeing one sell for less than $300 used whether in a store or direct from someone.
@@HipHopHistoryGuy 😢 yes!!! I was young and robbed pretty much. The guy kept asking about it all the time then boom 💥 smh sold it
what records is he using?
Started off with: King Just - 'No Flow On The Rodeo'. Next record was: Lords of the Underground - 'What I'm After'. Next record was: King Just - 'Warrior's Drum'. Final record was: All City - 'Who Dat?'
Masterclass…🖕🏼…Analog>Digital..
Thank you and I agree - analog sound can't be beat!
Putting your counter weights on backwards will deffo effect the vinyl.. The stylus his very hard and it will wear out vinyl over time. A lot quicker than sweat. Don't put your weights on backwards for more weight on your needle. If you set up your turntable correctly it will not jump.
Just watch the video. Counter weights on backwards for extra weight over the needle and it still jumps and skips. If it's balanced properly it wouldn't do that. Common rookie mistake. Record skips so they put coins on the headshell... If it's skipping you need less weight.
I'm not sure if you are referring to me as a rookie, but I've been DJing since 1993.
@@HipHopHistoryGuy this is the shit! I love it!!!! Here come the Lords!!!!
Go make your own videos keep it movin
