Salute to Kenny Rogers. Salute this dollar bin classic.

- RIP Kenny Rogers! Yesterday I posted a picture to IG/FB (link: / b-bz7crhjzx ) of double copies of his eponymous dollar bin DJ beat classic LP and explained how this record was famous in the underground digging circles not for its great songs per se, but for some of the breaks and samples on it. Some people requested to hear what those beats sound like. Well, here you go. Rockin' some Kenny doubles to salute the man, his hair, and this LP. Enjoy! If you're a DJ, go find yourself a pair and get busy. Might have to be an eBay/Discogs purchase during this time of quarantine, but I'm sure they still got it for cheap on there. Peace, y'all!
Here's my caption from the original IG/FB LP cover post:
RIP Kenny Rogers. He'll go down in history for a number of reasons. A golden voice. One of America's pop music icons (yes, The Gambler is ICONIC). An incredible run as a music/food entrepreneur (respect). He also possesses an upper-echelon hair/beard combo, both of which truly stand out in their class, but TOGETHER? A league of their own. Some of the finest hair ahead has ever donned. And seeing this LP cover, casually majestic mane & rusty grey beard prominently displayed while sifting through record bins would always make me smile while on a digging mission.
Musically, this particular record is special not so much because of the actual songs in their entirety but because this is one of the greatest "free bin" DJ beat records of all time. I remember starting out digging in the late 90s & talking to the OGs about breaks & samples & they were like "yo don't sleep on KENNY" & I was like yeah right & then one day I saw it in a free bin & was like okay well I could just toss it out if it was "a trap" as my man Gordski used to call records that looked like they should have something good on them but actually don't (you know the ones I'm talking about). Anyway, it turned out that it had (by my count) 3 dope breaks/beats on it.
I found another one the next week sitting on the side of Barrington St, and saw it every week of my life after that (I'm not even joking... maybe it wasn't just me who didn't like the entire song with all due respect to the man). I took the 2nd copy home & marked them up to double up. I'd cut & extend the breaks & people would ask "what's that??" & then I would let the songs continue to where it really went "full Kenny" and they'd be like "damn this is not what I expected". It was an early lesson in my digging days of "not judging a book by its cover". There are dope beats to be found everywhere.
But I'll be damned if you can't judge this to be one fantastic LP cover. And every time I saw it, every week, it would carry with it the spirit of digging that still lives with me to this day. Still looking in unsuspecting places and still looking for the perfect beat. And there he was, "KENNY", there to tell me, again, "keep going". ✌🏻

DJs these days have it far too easy with vinyl. In my day we had serato and CDJs - they took real skill
TheRasteri 🤙💯🤣😂🤣😂
TheRasteri 😆😆😆
Pinned.
I started DJing with 2 belt drive turntables and a radio shack realistic mixer. Big technics over the ear headphones Heavy ass pioneer wood speakers and amp. Reverb and 20 band equipment. Damn my back hurt listing it
With that roller pitch control and wobbly platter. I used the cardboard from Pepsi can cases for slip mats. Realistic up/down mixer no Crossfader.. Y’all remember when Radio Shack had Shure/Realistic we carts and stylus for a good price.
WOW! Who knew Kenny had some heat? Salute to the bastid 👍👍
RIP TO THE LEGEND!
Like the Gambler, you, sir, "know how to hold'em" (the ones-and-twos that is). This is the essence of hip hop: taking something old and making it new (and dope) again. Very nice tribute, Scratch Bastid. Mr. Rogers would be proud.
That was dope bro! RIP to The Gambler...
go4gin74 Amen!
R.I.P. Kenny Rogers. That's was a excellent tribute Skratch Bastid👍👍
R.I.P. to the Gambler! Scratchbastid has done it again. The Ginger Prodigy from the North. Showing masterful scratch mix while maintaining integrity to artist's music. #SKILLZ
Love seeing vinyl worked this well. Just frickin pro, and what a bastid send off for kenny
Ok I've ALWAYS liked Kenny Rogers but seriously! Now I gotta go back, dig in the crates to the mid 70's and grab some Country and Western! Eddie Rabbit, Oak Ridge Boys, and Loretta Lynn here I come!
yooo wtf when he turns off the one turntable to slow the bpm to transition into the next song 🤯
Saw this video earlier today where someone was randomly touching knobs on a DDJ-1000
Seeing this video has cleansed my DJ soul
Thank you for introducing me to the this album, the tracks you cut up are superb but tracks like Goodbye Marie and Coward Of The County are equally so good. I finally found this for $1.00 in a thrift store in London and guess what - duplicate discs! Another DJ clearly loved to cut this up and it was fate that I found it
I've never heard Kenny like this. (I didn't know there was this much funk in his music.
Everybody runs out and gets Kenny Rogers Records , cant wait to see what everybody mixes... :)
I was going to say the same. If he didn't let on at the beginning he was spinning Kenny Rogers I would have thought it was some classic funk/soul songs. Wow. That was amazing
That's what happens when you give a good DJ a chance. You never know what they might introduce you to. We may not know how to play a musical instrument, but some of us know music that we can manipulate in musical ways that a great musician might not be able to perform as seamlessly. #trustthedj
U make a shit song sound fucking better
@@djbis I disagree .. to me turntables are an instrument therefore good DJ's do know how to play one
"You killed Kenny you bastid" south park
Seriously though that was nice
Best comment on here.
🤣
Very underrated comment...!!!
& That Ladies & Gentlemen is what you call a Legend paying homage to a Legend! Flawless P!
Thanks IV!
@@mathieujalbert1793 A legend? A legend of eh at? I mean no disrespect but about all the issues doing is changing records with a scratch or two years and there. Look up DJ Jazzy Jeff. THAT is DJ.
You act like the dude is grandmaster flash or something
@@Sas3603 grandmaster flash is better than jazzy Jeff
@@Sas3603 You're a fucking idiot... THIS DJ... In the video... IS JAZZY JEFF'S FAVOURITE DJ... Do your fucking homework fuckboy!
Kenny rogers gambler is my gabling theme
Mix Master Mike, with the scratch routine
i watch this at least once every 6 months.
Cool to see some old schools cuts... seems like a long lost art
Goats respecting other goats in their own goat language. Priceless
I just pictured 2 goats screaming back and forth at each other
I know Kenny has some classic tunes like "Islands In The Streams", "Lady" & "The Gambler" but DAM, you went for the deep cuts to find some funk in some hidden gems off a Kenny album. Goes to show you need to do your homework and listen to any records to find some grooves from unknown places. Great job Skratch. Rest in Paradise Kenny!!!
Ah you should check out Kenny Rodgers and The first addition
Love your tributes SKRATCH!! NOT long and whiney @ all! You fucked that whole set at the end of the tribute (👍👍) with the beat juggling fast run I was like damn that GINGERS ON 🔥🔥🔥You never let me down! Skratch 4 PRESIDENT
KInda bummed I can only give this one thumbs up
I'll like my own stuff on your behalf, just because I like you
Top drawer 👍🏻
More proof that the 70s had the best breaks! Thank you DJ!
I've wasted a lot of time on TH-cam whilst in isolation but you've just made it all worth while. Absolute class 😎
I remember going to eat Kenny Roger's rotisserie chicken in Las Vegas when I was a kid and it was the BEST food out those days!!!!!
R.I.P. KENNY ROGER'S
We had 1 in Santa Ana, CA also
We had a few locations in Brooklyn, New York.
Kenny updated his sound when he moved to RCA Records. That explains some of the poppier/funkier elements of music for that label. He still recorded ballads, but experimented with other styles. R.I.P. Kenny Rogers
Kenny is rocking up in Heaven to this dopeness!!!
Just rewatched this. Like every legend, it gets better with age.
hey @skratchbastidtv - you made me fall in love with this album and guess what - I found a copy in a thrift store with double discs!
RIP Kenny. That was dope Skratch Bastid.
Dude!!! Kenny was the man!! Been a fan of his since I was a kid!! He's always had a huge cross-over appeal and this amazing session just proves it!! As always, your skills are first rate, Bastid!!! Much love and appreciation to you!!!
OMG....thank you so much for this vid, a ray of light during these dark times....I salute you Sir 👊🏽
Man no you didn’t straight 🔥🔥🔥I hope some day I can do tricks like this ain’t easy but anyway much 💚💙🤎💜🖤🧡🤙🏾🤙🏾and respect
i always thought tulsa turnaround was ridiculously dope for the first 30 seconds. there's a track by muro (japanese hip-hop artist) that samples it.
awesome. your timing is impeccable. Joy to watch and listen to.
Been waiting for this tribute since I heard the news about KR (RIP) - Amazing routine that pays homage to the Gambler.
DOPE when the STONED part comes in.
Out of all the great songs he did you chose these two?!
Damn man, that was out of this world! RIP Mr. Kenny R. Rogers!
Brother that has to be one of the dopest tributes I have ever witnessed and heard.....cheers mate!!!!!!!👍👍
Love this SKratchBastid, Thank you for sharing this with us in such a interesting time
.
Kenny got the badass Roaster beatz! Daaaaaaaaamn! Now ya' know.
Nice one man .I always loved Ruby Dont Take Your Love To Town.
In my best corny British accent...... "BRILLIANT". You turned a Kenny song into a 70's soul/funk break beat rhythm. 😲
Well to be fair the album has a lot of funky intros and the songs even start out a bit funky before turning back into Kenny Rojers.
The funk was always there , we just got to hear it in a different context
YO SKRATCH THAT WAS ON SOME 1980'S WILDSTYLE B-BOY CUTS !!! MADE ME WANT TO GRAB THE PUMA'S AND SOME CARDBOARD AND BUST A WINDMILL 😂😂😂
Don't try this at home on your dads stereo, only under hip hop supervision!
@SkratchBastidTV - I used to DJ way back in college and shortly there after (mid-80s to the early 90s). So I have a good set of basic skills. I've been thinking about getting back into it as hobby. Of course everything was analog back then and just about everything is digital now days. It would be a blessing to be able to be brought up to speed from a few of the best old school DJs in the world who are still in the game today. How much would you charge for 1 or 2 hour training session on scratching techniques on the latest digital DJ'ing equipment after this quarantine is over??
Wish Mr. Rogers could've watched this
The Kenny album was considered a country disco album. So I shouldn't be surprised you found some good beats off it.
Kenny had some great songs. Respect to the mix and turntablism skills displayed here. 👍🏼
Yo, imagine bein' the DJ that "Turn the light on" and switch back & forth'' at a down souf wedding...
Well Done, I met Mr. Kenny Rogers , In Delaware back in the day. Really-Really Really cool man..I did a two night tour with his production team. We ran lighting (Baltimore Stage Lighting) He showed everyone full respect. Just one of the great professionals.🙏😇RIP
Would love to see you beat juggling some Brazilian gems you dug few years ago!
Before you had all of this DJ technology this was the real way it was done so how can you say these are fake DJs that's impossible...this is the real skill set
And who are the 16 d-bags that disliked this?
Cardi B fans
😄
Kids
They lost at poker to "The Gambler"
@@jasonlambert5552 😂
So Good & Great skills....Love his broad smile as he walks off at 5:10. That's what good music is all about!
Stellar job. I got to witness Kenny Rogers and Lionel Richie many moons ago at The Houston livestock Show in The Astrodome. They both absolutely killed it, and I got to meet Lionel Richie.
Brilliant! I remember seeing Kenny at Landsdowne park in Ottawa with my mom when I was a kid, I probably didn't appreciate his music at the time but I do remeber him throwing frisbees out into the audience :-)
Yea man ❤ us in hip hop as always done this....way back early 80s cutting up tom Jones e.t.c.....check LIVE at Hammersmith odeon.....nice to see it still going
138 people can't handle how clean it is
Everyone tempted to cry “fake”! But this is so so real 🙌
Random TH-cam recommendation; old school Kenny; old school scratching; DOPE; immediate subscription!! Can`t wait to hear what else you have in store....
And a fellow Canadian as well (going by Raptors and 11/11 poppy) Wish you were around when I was in highschool, playing NHL 94` with buddies and getting mad high!!
Bruh the mix is dope & don't even like Kenny Rodgers
You're my biggest inspiration. Everything you touch turns to gold. I've always been a huge fan of you and always wished to be able to scratch like you. Keep doing what you do brother, you are the best of the best. 👍 ☺ 🙏 🥂
This is the most wonderful thing I've heard. Creative af.
This ain’t in the dollar crates anymore!
Standard mix........jokes
Afuckingamzing display rocking real records.
Peace RIP Kenny Rogers
Hey bud. My OCD is kicking the shit outta me right now. Could you possibly move your top left quarter shelve to the middle to meet up with the top right shelve please. Oh, great mix BTW!! RIP Kenny baby!!
Dang that was fresh!! Thank you for sharing!
How about some Marvin Gay.....
Hey, Skratch. Any chance you'd remix Santiago Midnight Moonlight off of this, with your extensive knowledge of odd beats and what nots? Prolly too late to ask but, it was always my fave track off of that album as a little boy.
Thought I'd ask. Maybe?
Keep on doin' it oh, so well.
You the man.
Jeeves
It's really excellent !.... back to the old schooll DJing... You have a great skills... Greetings from the Czech republic in Central Europe.
Incredible. Incredible skills and homage to classic late 70's early 80's sound from the man.
Easily one of the top 20 videos of 2020.
My compliments.
Listen up Serato/CDJ/Software DJ's!! This is how it began, how it should be, and how real DJ's flex their swag. The 4th element in hip hop culture being demonstrated at it's best. Keep it rollin'!!
The Gambler had some funk in his country vibe. Not much for country but it seems KR had a different style. “She said f*ck it, but she gave me the toss and turn around”. Never knew KR had it like that... Thanks SKB for an homage to The Gambler. Tight AF!
Hip Hop is just magic.
Word!
Hip Hop is the style... this is DJing.
Marty Warner he’s DJing in a hip hop style: isolating the break, looping two copies of the same segment to extend and recontextualize the song. Never forget that hip hop started with DJs playing breakbeats. So yeah, this IS hip hop.
D Escalade damn right! Marty’s just being a know-it-all!!
@@djstarsign Agree!
Dear Mr. Bastid. Please can I come to your house and learn to do all this... err, stuff? I fear I may have missed out on something. I used to play the recorder at school if that helps? Thomas UK, aged 52 (well nearly 53). Ps, I haven’t got a record player but you seem to have a spare one. Thank you very much.
Respekt my friend! That are real skillz man! No digital messup.
Thanks for sharing!
What do you say about the technics mk7? I'm thinking of buying two.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😃 THAT's how you dig aa crate and make somethin' awesome! From across the pond, Thanks SB!
Absolutely outstanding!!!!
Looks easy I will tell you I have first hand experience....it's not it takes lots of practice & skill...good shit bro ,💪💪🔥🔥👌👌✌️
Sounds like the song “Celebration” at the beginning by EWF. Throw that into your next mix of this song. Didn’t realize Kenny was so
funky country...
Correction....Celebration was Kool and the Gang and not Earth, Wind & Fire (EWL).....Awesome mix though.....
im proud of you you using real turntables wow great job great dj skilz buddy
I gotta rate this grezer for rhis mix i always wanted to play something apt when i go over cemetery and my mum and dad loved kenny rogers but i dont like country but this mix entices me 😊
AAAOOOW!! I thought I loved Funky Butt before, but Chef spiced it up another couple of notches! Dap, Bastid.
Only ignorant fools don't know there's some serious dope drum breaks in country music songs. Oak Ridge Boys, Area Code 615, Billy Swan, Alexander Harvey, Jessi Colter, Johnny Paycheck, Dolly Parton
Did your skill is amazing DJ and skills like yours man are dying breed homie thank you for staying true to the roots of DJ homie you're a blessing to the craft man and I love listening to you what you doing with a Kenny Rogers song making a sound hip-hop dude that's just amazing
I am sharing this with Hoteps, MCs, DJs, .....like WHOAH, this is .....peace, you're the man.
@skratch who sampled the first cut "in and out of your heart"? I feel like Diddy or Ma$e or someone like that used it but I can't find the track.
In these days when being a “man’s man” is frowned upon as patriarchal and misogynistic, it’s great to get this honoring of what appeared to be one of the good guys. Thanks!
It's not wrong to be strong.
But be fair to everyone.
Daaang u just dropped the knowledge. Really great info u spit on ur lil description. THANK YOU 🙏👑
*Listen... do you hear that whirring sound??*
*That's Kenny Rogers spinning in his grave!*
*EXCELLENT and AMAZING MIX, my friend!*
When I refer to you as a fuckin' Bastid, I mean it in a good way!
I am very appreciative of how you approached this seemingly impossible task.
Who knew Mr Rogers was so funky? Mr Bastid, that's who.
The Gambler approves
Watch and learn. Two turn tables and a two channel mixer. No hot cues! How we did it back in the day. I bet over 75% of todays top DJs cannot mix on turntables.
RIP to The Gambler. Looking at time he went out u could say he really knew when to fold em.
that was fire
Salute Melo! Thank you bro. DJs ^^^ Follow this man's page
"I just dropped in to see what condition my Skratch Bastid was in". Turns out he's pretty fucking cool as per...
Which mixer is that bra
Ive done sound for scratch and dj jazzy Jeff and mix master mike were the absolute best live. Check my videos of them.
Very cool indeed😎
So out of all the decks you use 1210's reloop pioneer etc what are your favourite ones?
All the best from the🇬🇧
