That's NOT what turntables were invented for! Stop it!

Check out the Invisbl Skratch Piklz http://www.asphodel.com/bio/invisblskratchp_.html - one of their members is Mixmaster Mike who gained fame on the Beastie Boys "3 MCs and 1 DJ" track.

4. J-A-Y are the letters of his name

Cutting and scratching are the aspects of his game
So check out the Master as he cuts these jams
And look at us with the mics in our hands
Then take a count, 1 2 3
Jam Master Jay, Run-D.M.C.

And we got the master of a disco scratch
There's not a break that he can't catch
Jam Master Jay that is his name
And all wild DJ's he will tame
Behind the turntables is where he stands
Then there is the movement of his hands
So when asked who's the best, y'all should say:
"Run-D.M.C. and Jam Master Jay"

Jam Master Jay is the one in charge
It's up to him to rock beats that are truly large
He is the master of the scratch and cut
So move your arms, so move your legs
So won't you move your butt

5. I don't know, do they even?

I remember that those things were really cool five years ago, when I was almost in touch with my youth. All laws of youth culture indicate that whatever was cool five years ago cannot possibly be today.
