Songs with GREAT scratching! I don't listen to much hip hop nowadays, but one thing I miss are DJs who really know how to work the turntables.
What songs have some of the best scratching? Ὅσον ζῇς φαίνου

"Rockit" from Herbie Hancock
"So Excited" by Janet, although I'm not a huge fan of the song, I can listen to it, and the scratching really ads a little rhythmic element to it. "I Feel For You" by Chaka Khan | |

I don't listen to hip-hop either so i'm guessing this is great. The only reason I know about this one is because it's a Herbie Hancock record. ...Rockit - LIVE Regardless, Grandmixer DXT is a very cool cat and has more on the ball than just this.

I always thought EPMD was OK, but lately I'm really feeling this performance by their DJ K La Boss. He starts cutting it up at 3:48...

Best I've heard (analog mixing anyway) were the underground 12 inches from the mid 1980's.

In my opinion Jazzy Jeff is the most underrated DJ there is. This boy is BAD!! "Love is like peeing in your pants, everyone sees it but only you feel its warmth" | |

We used to dance our young and bad asses off to this lp by 2 Live Crew when it first dropped. 
As far as the actual dance to this song, even Janet worked it in the video for "Pleasure Principle". In fact, for that video 
I'm sick and tired of the Prince fans being sick and tired of the Prince fans that are sick and tired! | |
