Classic Scratch Choruses: Public Enemy - "Rebel Without A Pause" Chords

_ _ [C] _ _ _ _ [G] What's up everybody this is DJ Al-Aham once again coming to you for another edition of
[N] Classic Scratch Choruses.
Today I have the one and only DX representing Wax Murderous Crew.
We are [F] live right now in the [E] Wax Murderous Professional DJ [N] School.
We're glad you're with us today.
We're going to review one of the classic hip hop songs and scratch choruses, Love It Without
a Pause by Public Enemy and who [Ab] was the DJ on this DX?
[Ebm] To our knowledge it was Terminator X.
That could be [Eb] questionable.
Big shout out to Johnny [N] Juice Revital.
You do know our history.
It could have been Johnny Juice but we'll say Terminator X.
What we're going to do is just kind of break down the chorus, listen to it, see what we
can learn from it.
So without any further delay let's get straight to it now.
Terminator X. _ _
_ _ _ Terminator X. _ _
_ _ _ Terminator X. _ _
_ _ Terminator X. Terminator X.
That was the first chorus.
Right now this is Fly's [Bbm] group for Classic Scratch Chorus and I'm going to let him just
kind of tell us a little bit about it.
Why do you like it so much?
What's so classic about it?
[F] Well to [C] me what is really classic about it is the fact that you already have a [Ebm] really
chaotic sample and the James Brown grunt sample [C] that's going on, let alone the funky drummer
as [Ab] well, James Brown.
[C] But they actually took another record.
What was that [N] other record?
What was Chug Rock?
_ They took another noisy record that has a lot of guitar in it, Chug Rock, Rock and Roll
dude, and that was the record of choice to put over another noisy record.
Technically that should not work but they did find a way to make it [Ebm] work and I'm going
to demonstrate how they did it.
Okay, this right here is the original sample [Gm] from Chug Rock and Domino as it says featuring
Hitman Howie T, Rock and Roll dude.
_ _ [Cm] _ _ _ _
[Gm] So that's basically what was taken.
_ [Bbm] _ [Gm] Then added a little [Bb] trampoline.
_ _ _ _ [N] _
So now that we got the breakdown on that, we're going to check out the second chorus
and see what he did on that. _
_ [Em] _ _ [C] _ _ _ [N] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] Terminator X!
_ [C] _ [Abm] _ _ [N] _
Terminator!
_ Come on!
_ _ Come on!
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Alright, we're back now.
What we're going to do is kind of break down that second chorus line.
_ Well, one thing to keep in mind with that second chorus is there's some additional things
going on [C] there.
There's an additional scratch which is coming [Ab] from Joe [C] Skelo's hit record at the time, Pee Wee's _ [G] Dance.
That's the little hit that's in there.
[N] Get busy y'all!
So that was added in there too.
[Ebm] Notice that those scratches were very simple.
They were just basic baby [Eb] scratches. _
[Fm] Not to get too [N] complicated with what you're hearing there.
That was right on top.
Not to get too complicated with everything that you're hearing there because [Db] you're already
getting a lot of complex _ [Ebm] transforming with guitars over a siren sound.
So it was actually [C] really cool the way that he went for another sample which may have
seemed like overkill but it wasn't because it had to be simple.
[N] Another thing that you can learn as a DJ is selection of what you're going to scratch
but then also choosing how you're going to scratch.
Sometimes you don't necessarily have to do the most technical run or you're phrasing.
Terminator X said a lot with a little.
It was very funky.
It was very good.
And then Chuck D [C] became an instrument as well with [N] him saying Terminator X!
_ Not just mouthing off all over that.
Just coming in here and there with the come on!
Hit the Terminator!
All of that just done on perfect timing to make the whole thing just work perfect.
So once again everybody, DJ Allahan.
Another edition of Classic Scratch 4 System.
My man DX.
We out.
Check it out.
Terminator X.
Rebel Without a Pause.
Peace y'all! _
