A personal favourite of the Rapshack camp, Malcolm McLaren has died at the age of 64 New York yesterday. He had been suffering from cancer. He was one of the most notorious persuaders in rock's history and self-proclaimed inventor of punk.
Malcolm Mclaren's influence in music and fashion covers a vast spectrum of genres from the Punk anarchist ploits of The sex Pistols, managing them in the late 70's/early 80s. To the Break Dancing Scratch DJ in the '80s and bringing the art of the Scratch DJ to the UK after witnessing it in New York, U.S.A.
It was with this latter scene that first attracted many a young fan in the UK and around the world to Hip Hop, Breaking and Scratching. His Album, 'Duck Rock' (1983) has been one of the most sampled records in Hip Hop and Scratch DJ history. It was probably one of the first recorded pieces of work which sampled voices, noises and scratches to make a record. Even the cover, with the crazy stereo with the extended aerials and bull horns has been copied and mimicked. This can be seen on the Stones Throw Scratch/DJ Tool, 'Super Duper Duck Breaks'.
DJ Q Bert's now infamous "All That Scratching's Making Me Itch" scratch routine c.1997, used just those words, the sample taken from the album. It can be seen on the Technics DMC video, 'The Summit'.
R.I.P Maclom Mclaren.
