thumbnailHip Hop Culture
Grand Wizard Theodore is a Hip Hop DJ and credited as the inventor of scratching. He grew up in the Bronx and his brother, Mean Gene, began teaching him the craft of DJ-ing before he was even a teen. In addition to scratching, he achieved fame for his mastery of needle drops, which he perfected. Theodore also apprenticed under Grandmaster Flash.

In the 1980s, Theodore was a part of the band Grand Wizard Theodore & The Fantastic 5. They released Can I Get a Soul Clap in 1980. He was also featured in the 1983 film Wild Style, as well as contributing to the film's soundtrack. In the film Scratch, he explains the origin of the scratch.

Grand Wizard Theodore's mixing style is still considered innovative, as he does not simply stick to baby scratches and cuts. His mix sets sound similar to extended DMC routines, using all of the current up to date DJ tricks and styles.

    "PEACE, LOVE, UNITY AND HAVING FUN." Loved that he mentioned that, because it's true...so much of that has been lost in a lot of the new hip hop.I miss old school rap! :(

    I'm feelin your message. The Hip-Hop movement has become distorted by mass pacification.
