Back in the day when I first began learning how to scratch, a lot of my inspiration came from the group the X-Ecutioners, specifically the album X-Pressions, which I remember listening to over and over and over…until the tape fell apart!

What I liked about the group was how smooth and accurate all their scratches were. Instead of stuffing as many advanced scratching techniques as they could into every song, they instead seemed to focus on delivering precise scratches and rhythmic patterns.

While most of my friends claimed Roc Raida as their favorite, I always sided with Rob Swift for some reason, which is why It was a pleasant surprise to come across this video of him doing what he does best.

Nothing new here in terms of the scratching, but just as good to listen to as it ever was!

Shout out to the homies at The LAB for the link!

This was one of my favorite jams back in the day…and still is actually.
