Revision as of 03:53, 19 September 2007 by 72.191.180.241 (talk)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Scratch is a magazine about the art of creating hip-hop. It features articles regarding producers, musicians and DJs that make beats for rap records, and details the secret methods, stories, partnerships, philosophies and equipment behind the music. The magazine's tagline is "The Blueprint of Hip-Hop".
Scratch is owned by Harris Publications, the same company that publishes the popular hip-hop magazine XXL, as well as King, Rides and Slam. It debuted in January 2004, and is currently published bi-monthly. Various hip-hop producers, DJs and rappers have graced their cover, including Dr. Dre, The Neptunes, RZA, Lil Jon, Kanye West, DJ Drama, Timbaland, Jermaine Dupri, Mannie Fresh, Just Blaze and Eminem.
Starting with its March/April 2007 issue, Scratch was relaunched as XXL Presents Scratch. It is now operating under the wing of XXL Magazine, with XXL's former Senior Editor, Online, Brendan Frederick, acting as the new Editor-in-Chief and XXL's current Editor-in-Chief, Elliott Wilson, overseeing the magazine as the Editorial Director.
Sadly, it was announced that the September 2007 issue of Scratch would be the last issue of the magazine. Harris Publications canceled the magazine for unknown reasons. Scratch magazine is now looking for a new publisher to attempt to become in print again.
