shit forgot about this...
back in the early days of this present hip hop revival ,8 odd years ago, the 1st hip hop dj crew that were really doin it was the scratch perverts: the most loved MR THING and the funniest dj ever FIRST RATE 2 guys who had the skills to pay the bills. As a team they were djing everywere and rightfully so coz they always rocked. After a couple of years of successfully riding the wave of the ever increasing popularity of hip hop [fondle em, rawcus, arsonists, mos def, juggernauts, stones throw, eastern con all the quality major lable stuff etc golden times] and firmly establishing themselves as the uks leading battle team, they decided to let other skilled djs join the group.
i remember harry love playin with em for a while, prime cuts joined and after winning the ITF [i think thats what its called] they asked tony vegas to join..
Pretty good idea you got four of the uks best djs in one team the scatch perverts! mr thing, ist rate, tony vegas and prime cuts.
the reputation of the group got bigger and bigger as did the uk hip hop scene. 1st rate and mr thing had born the UKs first non rave super dj group and everything was looking rosey.
'men folk are weak and greedy' lord of the rings 2004
yeah believe me son ,while the perverts were competing in the itf team championships and winning hands down as a group, tony vegas was sneaking round copywring the scratch perverts name and setting up deals for just himself and prime cuts , 1st rate and mr thing didnt have a clue they were just happy djing with this there new super group.
when vegas had secured the copywrite to the scratch perverts name and set himself up with enough work he told thing and 1st rate they were no longer needed in the group, there group, they coudnt use the name 'the scartch perverts' there name theyd used for 5 years before vegas had joined and in a nutshell fuck off you had a great idea, worked hard to realise youre full dj potential and through years of hard graft and 1000s of people entertained youre now out the group coz im ripping you off, so what you gonna do about it and im not exaggerating.
so there you go a little expose of something that i thinks pretty deplorable. i hope this gets round and people stop booking the ahem 'scratch perverts' but who cares anyway coz they only play at cheesy raves these days. but to rip youre mates off esp when they put so much hard work into it and basically had been the scratch perverts for many years before vegas even had a sniff.
my mate used to share a flat with vegas and he didnt even know about this, such is the level of snideness involved..
so kids when you see posters for 'the scratch perverts' you know you aint getting the real deal, its a group built on lies and dishonesty.
and bottom line who could rip off mr thing possibly the most loved man in uk hip hop!! oh yeah tony vegas could
