  Grand Wizard Theodore invents the scratch at thirteen years old by accident while trying not to get in trouble with his mother. Grandmaster Flash&apos;s turntables are preserved in the Smithsonian Institution alongside Abraham Lincoln&apos;s hat. Mister Cee records a teenager rapping on a Brooklyn street corner and passes the tape to The Source — that teenager becomes Biggie. Jam Master Jay is shot in his studio in 2002 and the case takes twenty years. Afrika Bambaataa is a Bronx gang leader who puts down a weapon and picks up a crate of records. And Kool Herc throws a party on August 11, 1973 for twenty-five cents admission — and generates the entire history of hip-hop from one turntable technique. Twelve DJs.

  DJ Spinbad is where the idea of the transformer scratch came from...DJ Cash Money FLIPPED IT, and show&apos;d DJ Jazzy Jeff...they had a DJ group together called &quot;Twins Of Spin&quot; as youths!

  I appreciate the person that put this together, I feel some dj&apos;s were left out but the most important thing is d j &apos;s were mentioned that are key components of what makes the culture what it is today and forever
