Who Knew This Is Where LL Cool J Got The I'm Bad Beat From?

Wow... cool find... did not know where that sample came from.

I remember the first time I found out that it was actually DJ Bobcat (LA Bobcat) doing all of my favourite scratches on LL's album and not actually Cut Creator.

It was similar to the shock of finding out that all the best Public Enemy scratches (in the Terminator X era) were actually done in the studio by Johnny Juice.

Cut Creator and Terminator X were more or less tour deejays who appeared in videos and promos whereas Johnny Juice and Bobcat were studio producers who were more behind the scenes. (although Bobcat did tour with LL on his first Def Jam tour).

Actually, on LL Cool J's first album there were two DJs that did some scratching, Spinmaster Finesse and Jazzy Jay. You've probably heard of Jazzy Jay from the ZULU Nation, but SPinmaster Finesse was just a local cat from Queens that knew how to scratch.
 
I didn't know who did the scratching on 'Radio'... you are dropping knowledge today... haha.

The scratching on 'Bad' was some next level isht, though. Bobcat cut like a DMC battle deejay... I saw that LL tour live in Detroit with Bobcat and Cut Creator both as his deejays. No offence to Cut Creator, but Bobcat was on a whole different level with his cuts.

When I saw King Tee live, DJ Pooh (also of the LA Posse producer supergroup) wasn't touring with him so instead he had DMC superstar DJ Aladdin as his tour deejay. It was ridiculous! Ever song was different than the album... they jacked all the hottest beats of time and King Tee spit over them... then DJ Aladdin did a 10 minute battleset doing some of the most ridiculous DJ tricks I had ever seen live. Ice T was the headliner and he was actually kind of disappointing in comparison of the raw energy of King Tee and DJ Aladdin (when Biggie blew up he always reminded me of King Tee with his bass-y voice and ride-the-beat flow).
