they got away from there orginal goal, they tried to be to much like XXL or the source and so the orginal readers(like myself) bounced... And they were left trying to impress teenagers.. they should have stuck to the script....

I wish actual hip hop music worked like that...

REMIX is a way better mag anyways

It was good at first then turned into another Xxl or Source and thats when I and I think
ALOT of people stopped bothering with it ... I didn't learn much from it however unlike w/other
magazines such as Remix, EQ, Sound on Sound and etc ... With the other magazines you
learn things and get deeper insight more than anything scratch has ever placed in it's articles
in my opinion ... It was a case of good gone sell out/flashy

I think it's market forces at work, they didn't have a large enough demographic to sell to.
Even though it was kind of light, it still had some interesting articles, I wish it could have stuck around a bit longer.

They had no choice but to change the format when cats wasnt buying it when it was just about Djing and Producing..so dont blame the editors at Scratch...blame broke mo fos.....Unfortunatly the selling out didnt work for them either...I will miss it...but Remix is a better mag

damn... i wanted to get my ass up in there... cant take nothin for granted... as soon as u get an oppurtunity, take it and run with it... hopefully, another company (Source maybe) is salivatin at the chance to do it, and do it better... Remix might be a better mag, but i felt like this was MY mag, all Hip Hop, all the time.

the problem is the demographic was very small to start with add to that the fact that the 'hip hop producer' set aren't the most reliable bunch ! most of them won't even part with their own money to get equipment on the lastest cd they would rather crack it off the net and its unlikely that you're going to sell many copies !
