My vote goes to Bad Boy Bill without a doubt. I never heard anyone scratch like him. Also he makes the scratching seem like its part of the record. That's talent.
I'm bigger and bolder, and rougher and tougher, in other words sucka, there is no other. I am the one and only dominator.

scracthmaster of hardcore is dj sy, scratchmaster of rave in general is a toss-up between dj sy and dj hype
scratchmaster would be someone like dj craze or any of the others you see in scratching competitions. they're mad!!!

I dont really know many dj's out of UK. So its gotta be the scratch masta himself, Scratch Masta Sy.
Dj hype is the next after him.
Hixxy is very good aswell but with the music he is spinning right now, it would really fit.
Brisk is okay.
Lukazade is wikkid at scratching, and is still very young so he will take over sy's place 1 day I think.
DNA is okay too.

In the hardcore scene I'd also probably say Sy but overall DJ Rectangle I would say is one of the most talented scratchers I've ever heard.

Sy is awsome but in honesty Hixxy was as good, if not better in his early years. When I saw him live he actually did a set with some sweet scratching and it blew me away.
At the current time I would go for Sy

It is quite a rare thing to see Hixxy scratch ne more..he is more focused on the future and progreesion although I think some nice scratching is always apreciated. If ne1 was to scracth it would not be done on decks but with a synth and keyboards..*sigh*

I've seen Hype play, in the past, at a local Reading club where you could actually watch him spin his tunes and I can confirm that he cheats (or used to)!!!! He was definatley using the handy little transform button when he was scratchin'. And if you've got an good ear for transforming, listen to some of his tapes you can hear the (possible) cheating button being used. Im not saying that Hype can't scratch - far from infact - he IS fcukin good. But there's getting respect for scratching and there's getting TOO much respect; And I think he gets too much. Question: Anyone tried transforming over 4 records in a row? Hype does. My arm kills me after I've done about 2 minutes of solid transforming.
Please don't read more into this post. Im not dissing him, just pointing out what I have seen.
In answer to the question; Sy is the scratch master - always has- but as happyraveuk said - there are alot of much, much better scratchers around - I went to see Cypress Hill @ Brixton Acadamy not so long ago, they were supported by a group called "The Dillated Peoples" and their DJ was awesome - I had never heard some one scratch as fast and accuratley as him. I was dumb-struck.
