I'm well aware that those Wheels of Steel didn't get a lot of exposure for many, many years (maybe decades..) But when listening to the new Beastie Boys CD I suddenly realised, that obviously Scratching has faded away completely out of modern day HipHop.

"To the 5 Boroughs" is the first new album I heard in a loooong time that has that old school scratching sound on it, even on several tracks. But I must admit I don't follow todays Hip Hop scene very closely, so I have a question for the ones keeping up with the times:

ARE there any new releases out there with classic scratching? And if so, what are they?

Please, help an old school dude in getting a bit up to date

[bGOOD QUESTION....I DON'T EVEN SEE A HEAVY PRESENCE OF DJ'S PERIOD ANYMORE...MIXTAPES NOWADAYS EVEN USUALLY HAVE A BUNCH OF INDUSTRY CATS RHYMIN WITH SOME ANNOYING DJ YELLING HIS FUCKIN NAME OVER THE TRACK A COUPLE HUNDRED TIMES...I HAVEN'T HEARD ANY SCRATCHING LATELY...THAT I CAN THINK OF....]
