Isaac's Favorite Cuts - Part III

I always loved DJ Richie Rich's cuts on 3rd Bass's album "Derelicts of Dialect." In particular, I think that the song "No Static At All" contains a segment that demonstrates some of the best album scratching in 1991. Check it out.


After 3rd Bass broke up, Rich and Pete Nice released an album called "Dust to Dust" under the name Prime Minister Pete Nice and Daddy Rich. The scratching certainly wasn't
lacking in this outing either. One thing about the really great deejays on these early/mid 90s records that always stood out to me is the pacing and control of their transform scratching. You could always tell who seemed like they were moving the fader (or switch) at random like an amateur (ahem, Eric B) and who actually knew what they were doing. Here we are 15 years later, and I still couldn't match the funk that Rich displays in this segment.
