  It's time to lace up those shell toes, because the Scratch Soundtrack is 
  taking us back to the old school! With the most innovative and 
  'scratchingly' fresh combinations on the ones and twos, the Scratch 
  Soundtrack flawlessly chronicles the turntable movement from its creation 
  in the early 70's on. 
  As an avid fan of the current hip-hop movement/scene, the turntables are 
  just something I always assumed existed. The film Scratch, however, 
  reminds us of times without turntable beats and takes us back to when the 
  turntable art was just being born. The film documents the creation and 
  history of the turntable, and the movie's soundtrack acts as a bible to 
  the art, telling the story of its evolution, and reminding us how 
  immensely essential this instrument is both to and for hip-hop.

  This CD is much more raw than us current hip-hop heads are used to. It 
  takes a few minutes to warm up to, and I will admit it is strange to 
  listen through an entire hip-hop CD without hearing Missy Elliot coo in 
  the background at least once. However, once you ease into this amazingly 
  historical soundtrack, you will surely be satisfied. While every track 
  serves its purpose and delivers the goods, I especially like track number 
  ten, which is merely a fifteen second interlude track. The interlude is 
  so ironic, and provides the basic theme to the soundtrack and to the 
  turntable art form in general. We hear a random man's voice: "Turntables 
  were originally something you walked away from when you put a record on, 
  you know? You never thought to sit there and look at it and say 'what 
  else can I do with this?' You were never supposed to touch it, your 
  parents were like 'don't touch the turntables, don't touch the record, 
  you'll ruin it!'"

  Aside from fun interludes like the one mentioned above, the soundtrack is 
  jam-packed with appearances by big name scratchers, such as: Jazzy Jay, 
  GrandWizard Theodore, MixMasterMike (yes, of the Beastie Boys), DJ Craze, 
  Afrika Bambaataa, Qbert, Rob Swift, NuMark, and many others. Some of the 
  artists mentioned above, (along with Babu, Faust and Shortee) collaborated 
  to create the CD's most obvious (and illest) standout, a revamped version 
  of Herbie Hancock and Grandmixer DXT's "Rockit." 

  No doubt, if you're a hip-hop fan, this CD is a must have for you 
  collection!
