Scratch Shows Why He's Still a Beatbox King

Erstwhile Roots member Scratch reaffirms his status as one of the best vocal percussionists by transforming hip-hop classics -- including songs by Eric B & Rakim, T La Rock, and Public Enemy -- into beatbox art. Scratch's innovative approach to beatboxing is an exhibition of skill in the purest hip-hop sense. His latest album, Loss 4 Wordz, featuring Kanye West, Damon Albarn, Talib Kweli, Musiq Soulchild, is in stores now. Check out his take on ol' skool classics below:
