i wanna start to do stuff like this, but i have no idea where to even begin. where can i get vinyls with just a loop like that , and others that are good to scratch on and what not?

They sell special scratch records, I've seen them in local record shops, so I'm pretty sure they'd be even easier to find online.

And don't get discouraged easily, because it won't sound good without a lot of practice.

Just get a battle record with the infamous Fab Five Freddy "fresh" sample on and practice every waking moment with it.

Here, something like this: http://www.33third.com/details.asp?..._detail&ID=1476

Although this should be a given, make sure you have two tables with enough torque and a mixer with a slippery crossfader. It helps if there aren't any knobs and such around the crossfader (stuff like this can slow down or seriously inhibit fader manipulation).

whats on that record you posted? i mean that site sucks for not giving any previews or something

Once you get the vinyl you need, search up dj qbert on youtube. He has alot of scratching tutorials.

Chances are you're not going to find previews for battle records. They generally contain a lot of short samples and one to two bar breaks (which is what I linked you to).

turntablelab has some nice short samples for each record. Check it out here -

As others have said, all you need are turntables and a mixer with a somewhat sharp crossfader curve.
