Rap today isn't the same as it was back in the early 80's - it's basically the difference between Jailhouse Rock and Bon Jovi - same style, ie rock music but the latter has lost the original quality. To use another analogy the blues music of the 30's is different to white blues that came out of it later years.
Scratching and DJing was a cultural change in the 70's and early 80's that was the for-runner of the majority of studio techniques used today in the recording of all kinds of popular music. Which then went into sampling and so on. Rap, scratching and Hip-hop was a cultural event that came out of New York and was bloody darn excellent back in the day...
Hey Leon can you get the Beastie Boys?
