Why do DJs Scratch the Ahh and Fresh Samples all the Time?

Where does the Ahh Fresh sample come from? The ahh sample is used in over 2400 songs on Whosampled.com. It would be hard to argue its not the most popular scratch sample for DJs. In this video essay, I take a look at the origins of ahh (Change the Beat Fab Five Freddy). Who popularised the ahh sample since its use from Herbie Hancock Rockit and why it is still so popular today. I mention Grandmixer DST, Herbie Hancock, Fab 5 Freddie, DJ Qbert, and the characteristics of the sounds themselves.
