Flash is spewing
There is a BIG difference between the sound that comes when you're cueing the record vs intentional scratching as a musical/percussive addition. What Flash is making claims to is what all Djs knew of even in the Disco world: Cueing the record produced a scratching sound!
raheim thinks flash invented scratching because he heard the cueing noise of a record when Flash was back-spinning.
The same sound that Pete Dj Jones (the man who taught Flash disco djing) describes here that disco djs been knew about
Grandwizard Theodore did intentional scratching as a percussive addition as described here
.
.
HipHop djing didn't really become its own thing until hiphop djs made the turntables into a percussive instrument via Scratching. This actually first started with Kool D's brother, Tyrone The Mixologist!
Grandmixer DXT talking about it
Dj Jimmie Jazz (Zulu Nation) talks about it here

Theordore is where most people heard/saw it, as he took it to new heights
He took out Flash with it; this why we know Flash didn't invent intentional scratching as a musical/percussive addition! When Flash was doing the quick mix, Theodore was hitting him with percussive scratching and Flash even admitted to this!

and Grandmixter DXT took it to even greater heights and fathered the mainstream "Turntabalist" sub-culture
