Jeff is a kick ass DJ and producer. I still think him and DJ Cash Money are the two baddest Hip Hop DJ's on the planet, and both are from Philly!!!!

look at 1:15 and see who's scratching their head in amazement..
and I was there and it wasn't even close to being one of Q's best shows.. but yeah, I idolized Cash Money and Jazzy Jeff growing up.. Cash money still does the same routine til now but jeff has stepped up his game.. great producer also..

I was lucky enough to be on the same lineup as him a few years back. Amazing DJ, and fantastic producer. Good to know he's a Live user too.

The way I heard the story back in the day, it was actually a dj from New York who invented it, but I would definitely say that Cash and Jeff took it to a whole other level.
According to Qbert, it was DJ Spinbad.

Most people forget that "that will smith song" with Jeff came before The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. But Jeff is a legend in his own right.

I was thinking the same thing. I keep checking the website. I would like to see what Jeff is doing with Live.

jazzy jeff.. one of my idols that got me scratching along time ago.. he got hit by a electrical storm and then transformed!! I never knew who really started the transform scratch... I always thought it was Jeff but some people say Cash Money was the one..
