The true heads such as my self will feel a bit let down, but DJ scratch is damn near an answer to a Hip Hop trivia question... who was the DJ for the legendary group EPMD? Ask 10 random Hip Hop heads I guarantee you are going to get no more than 5 correct answers. &amp;nbsp;In most peoples mind EPMD was a two man group anyway. Thats why the fans haven't been complaining. And the only reason why we know about this is because &amp;nbsp;DJ Scratch said something.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;quot;It's like Run DMC without Jam Master Jay&amp;quot;..... is it really?</description></item><item><title>re: EXCLUSIVE: DJ Scratch Splits from EPMD</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/06/27/20234162.aspx#20234761</link><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:01:58 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20234761</guid><dc:creator>DAREALGUNSMOKE</dc:creator><description>OH WELL!&lt;br&gt;WHEN THEY LAST ALBUM DROPPED?...EXACTLY&lt;br&gt;I THAUGHT THEY BEEN BROKE UP, WHEN ERIC WAS DOIN HIS DEF SQUAD JOINTS.

Erick has always been a problem man I worked at Sony Music when they broke up the first time which was the same year we broke Redman's first album at that time and though Parrish was the problem the first time like Scratch said. Erick was no less shady back then either...Remember he set up Parrish to get robbed at his home in L.I. rather than discuss and legally handle the money issues they had the first time around. Which is EXACTLY what really made Parrish and E split the trusty factor was gone completely between them....SMMMFH!!!!!! Greed and money will be the downfall of our people especially in this business. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;DAMN!! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;One Love Scatch!!!!</description></item><item><title>re: EXCLUSIVE: DJ Scratch Splits from EPMD</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/06/27/20234162.aspx#20234930</link><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:15:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20234930</guid><dc:creator>HTX2DC</dc:creator><description>I wanna hear what Eric and Parrish gotta say before I pass judgement.</description></item><item><title>re: EXCLUSIVE: DJ Scratch Splits from EPMD</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/06/27/20234162.aspx#20234995</link><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:22:35 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20234995</guid><dc:creator>BlackSean</dc:creator><description>Sad day when even legends/pioneers can't keep it together.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As it is, Scratch was... what, the 2nd or 3rd (and longest lasting) DJ since &amp;quot;Strictly Business&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Still my favorite group of all times~ still gonna cop the new joint. &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;But this news is like sneaking a peek @ Christmas gift..... &amp;amp; finding sum shit you really don't want.</description></item><item><title>re: EXCLUSIVE: DJ Scratch Splits from EPMD</title><link>http://allhiphop.com/stories/news/archive/2008/06/27/20234162.aspx#20235014</link><pubDate>Fri, 27 Jun 2008 16:23:55 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">0ab0b95d-286f-42d5-ba9b-6086957539ea:20235014</guid><dc:creator>KidKameleon</dc:creator><description>You can't blame him for that.
