Heard Cutmaster Cool V doing this in his Biz Markie warm-up set last night: was not tired of it.

Bobcat reminisces:
So we met LL, and this is a good story I am going to tell you right here. The first time we met LL we was nervous and excited because Jam Master Jay, I was always real close with Jason, he had always told me that if me and this rapper named LL ever hooked up it was going to be ridiculous.That's what he used to tell me, so I already had that in my mind. So anyway - and no disrespect to my man Cut, because me and him still talk, and as a matter of fact he's a part of our organization [The Foundation].
So anyway, we was in the studio and LL was like "Yo, let me see something. What's up?," so I got on the turntables and I acted like I couldn't cut. I would do like these sorry little scratches and then I would act like the record was skipping. LL, he's real impatient so he's like "Yo, yo! C'mon man, let my man Cut Creator show you. He's from New York!". So Cut Creator got on and he started doing his thing. So I sat back and watched, then I said "Yo, can I get another shot? Can I try one more time?" and he was like "Sure, ok, c'mon. What you gonna do?". I said, "Can I warm up first?" and he was like "Sure, I don't care".
Now in the studio normally you know you have just one turntable hooked up just for the purposes of scratching. So I asked, "Can I hook up both turntables?" and once again he was like "Sure, I don't care". So I hooked both of the tables up and I started cutting "Rock The Bells"…[mimics scratching] and I started going off on "Rock The Bells" and he, I can't even explain to you, and he'll tell you if you ever interview him and if you interview him ask him about this story. He…Went…Crazy! You feel me? Because again, we [west coast DJs] were like light years ahead of them at this time. I know DJs in New York is bananas now, but then we was so far ahead. So he was like "You gotta join my crew, and you gotta go on tour". I was like, "Naw. I DJ for Breeze" because I am a loyal cat. This was a life changing invitation, but I was like "Naw, I DJ for Breeze". He said "Talk to Breeze". When I went to Breeze I was like "Morgan… LL wants me to - " and he cut in "Man, I just knew he was going to do that" (laughs).
