Communication

”Please tell me you speak 【DJ】”

“Do you speak any 【DJ】? “

“Do you understand the words that

coming out of my 【turn table ~turn table~】” （《Rush Hour 1998》）

“How can we in confusion?

How can we keep things straight?

If we can write the words we speak

we could communicate.” (Unknown track)

“But what about the other language we talked about?

It's an amazing language, the language of 【DJs】“

“I speak clearly so you can understand

put words together”(Ain't No Half-Steppin' by Big Daddy Kane)

“fresh communication”(Poetry by BD.P.)

“pieces and bits of all the hip-hop hits”(I Ain't No Joke by Rakim)

“speech techniques”

“know what I’m sayin’?”

“I speak clearly so you can understand

put words together”(Ain't No Half-Steppin' by Big Daddy Kane)

“fresh communication”(Poetry by BD.P.)

“pieces and bits of all the hip-hop hits”(I Ain't No Joke by Rakim)

“speech techniques”

“Understand where I come from”

“now to begin with, Here are some expressions you will use most often”

*scratchin*

I don’t understand that one(?)

I don't understand either

Sorry, I don't understand

you're just not listening at all

Can you speak 【DJ】?

Is there anyone here who speaks 【DJ】?

I speak 【DJ】, he said ”m**f**kers ~ the way 【I】 communicate”

? with ~my hand (I Can't Live Without My Radio LL Cool J)

It’s just too complex.

? I don’t wanna keep your suggestion

Just listen to what I say, because (La Di Da Di by Slick Rick)

I speak with the hell ?

I speak with the 【scratch】 they?

Excuse me, no comprendo.

Well. Poor ? had a hard time making himself understood, didn't he?

How much easier it would have been if he had used a name for

So 【DJ】 began to create on names for things

and they found they could talk to each other.

But if someone wanted to remember something important

or talk to someone far away, it wasn't so easy.

What he needed was a way to put his words down

for somebody else when he wasn't around.

When you put down the sounds 【scratchin’】

and when you're using 【scratches】to stand for the things you say,

and see, that's the language of 【DJ】

let's find out more about them.

*scratchin*

Now that you know the sounds that all the 【scratches】 make,

you can put them together to make words

put the words together to make sentences

and put lots of sentences together to make paragraphs

But you may need a little practice so try it.

All you need is a 【turntable】

For those unfamiliar with modern stereo terminology

a turntable is a mechanical device that contains both a rotating disk and a needle.

Your turntable must move the surface of the disk

past the cartridge stylus at a constant rate of speed.

Excuse me, I do not understand
