My favourite DJ from Scratch was Jazzy Jay. He stood out most to me because he seemed to have a lot of knowledge and seemed passionate not only about mixing records and DJing but also collecting records. He has 400,000 records. And for me he was the first person to explain how a hip hop DJ operates.
He explained that rather than using the whole song to DJ with, the hip hop DJs would instead take the 'break' out of a song and continuously play that. The break is the part of the song that people dance to. Or at least that is how its described in the documentary.
