Scratching is a fundamental technique in DJing and has played a significant role in the development of hip-hop and other music genres. DJ Soul is one of many DJs who have been credited with helping to popularize scratching and turntablism.

The history of scratching can be traced back to the early days of hip-hop in the 1970s, when DJs would use two turntables to create new sounds by manipulating and mixing records. Scratching involves moving a vinyl record back and forth under the needle while the turntable is playing, creating a rhythmic sound effect.

DJ Soul, like many other DJs, likely started experimenting with scratching by accident, while playing around with different techniques and sounds. Over time, he likely refined his skills and developed his own style, incorporating scratching into his performances and creating new and innovative sounds.

Today, scratching remains an important part of DJ culture and continues to inspire new generations of DJs and music producers. It's a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of DJs like DJ Soul who helped to pioneer this technique and push the boundaries of what's possible in music.
