Here's a summary, "I'm not really a producer, I make beats everyday, I'm a rich white dude with my own SSL, and I can't get any beats on G-Units albums". Well, that's what I remember. He was thinking, "I make hotter hooks for other artists, than my own songs!".

I'm just hating, sorry. Em if your reading this hit me up Homie!

Sik mag tho. LONG overdue. Nice idea executed very well...

Me like SCRATCH thumbsup

[illynoise]

Yeah, I like it too, I can't front. I'm in a race right now with some of my "friends" to see who gets in it first!

I thought that the issues up until the just blaze cover were the best. Kind of like ATCQ albums. First 3?

I dont know why, but the 2nd one with Kanye on the cover is still my fav.With Scratch talking bout his production routine and all.The Dre one, first issue, was good too.I can recall, which was the 3rd?Is that the Neptunes on?The Lil Jon one was ok.How's the Blaze one?Thats the one that makes mentioned of Maestro.

Btw Illy, pretty funny on that Em hooks thing that u just ran down.

I REALLY LIKED the just blaze issue because he talked about how much they actually made on the song breathe.

it was the most realist interview ive ever heard.

Speaking of which, how much did they make on that song Breathe?I still cant get over that sample.Its that "crime of the century" track of Supertramps I believe.But he really did his thing and F-A-B-O just brought it.Still luv that track.I want more of this coming out this year on radio.

As for u Maestro.......u know ur fam man.We gotta big up our fam when they make the headlines and keep spreading the goodness.Big ups to u cuz.Keep it steady grinding man.Btw, I'mma get at u soon bout something.

Scratch had some staff shakeups recently and I doubt it will be worth reading soon. The guy that actually knows anything about gear is no longer with them.

"XXL Jr." am i the only one who feels dumber after reading this magazine? superb idea with horrible execution. the album/mixtape reviews are ****ing ********, and why do they feel the need to put clothes in there? that wont widen the demographic. the interview staff is a bunch of suckups looking for drama like the national enquirer.

When I first saw it I was happy. Then I realized that it was like, in the skateboarding world, a Transworld Skateboarding. Tablist is alright but really too thin for me. Again: check out REMIX mag. They do a good job of really balancing out electronic and hip-hop and all of those in-between. Some occasional bullshit reviews, but they can be hard on albums and products, good technical info for producers and tracks, stories, interviews, and news. And much more content than SCRATCH will ever have.

Last month Depech Mode had the cover, this month it's Pharrell. And I know Prince Paul was on a while back.

Trust me, it's worth a look.

When scratch magazine first came out they had a lot of good interveiws, topics, etc. But the last few issues were butt. I canceled my subscription!

Why does this always have to happen.Do I hear echo's of "The SOurce".Seems all the Source is good for of late is just a source of trouble and fashion.But they, I havent actually read it recently.My opinion could change if I'm informed differently though.

As for Scratch........I havent read that one of late either.Let's hope it doesnt go spiralling down like a new artist's career who's in the game an album too long.

yeah if anyones got the issue with just blaze on the cover (not the one with blaze & saigon) and wants to sell it pls mail me at mhann83@yahoo.com
