Those Hard Songs ( Example, Take some Ballin (Jeezy and Lil Wayne), Loop that a couple of times, blend in some Grove street instrumental by dropping the bass out of the Ballin, cut the beat with ‘I got a whole lotta money…’ from the song let it play… Floor will get buck wild; Same blend style with bust that head with some Ace hood – Hustle hard remix…and if you keep hitting them, hit ’em with Some Kinfolk Thugs – Dump Truck’) That 70 or 140 BPM range. As long as it has plenty of Bottom, you keep the girls on the floor and the dudes are happy….

…then just Echo it out with some Mystikal – Here I go. (<– Please don't slip on this track! it's so hot it does not matter if it does not blend…). That is about 12 minutes of just DAMN….Now if you doin it.

cool thing about that Those HARD songs when your floor gets jumping: the proverbial mix is gone when you are hitting with those heaters…and the crowd is chanting with your music. As long as the crowd is moving….

My next gig I will try that for sure. I havent heard that Kinfolk Thugs track yet, but I will check it out tonight.When hustle hard remix came out,i was i beat mtaching it Jim Jones Gretzky.Now I just go off the crowds engergy.I need to re download here i go , which I deleted it because I was playing man right chea. Yea Grove street party gets the crowd hype, and that Tyga Lap Dance gets all the ladies on the floor too.

Talk ’em out….some old slide music to get them going….Just as long as you have the girls on the floor, the dudes will follow and the floor will stay packed…

However, PLEASE know your audience….they will tell you what they like….

I usually save the hard rap songs toward peak times , which I also mix it up.I go between lady friendly songs, and hard rap.But you will be surprise that where i play at, the ladies would request gucci mane or waka flocka.

Some requests , can give you an idea on what the crowd wants to hear, which you can just go off that request and have a good set.Like everyone mentioned, some people request music that doesnt go with the vibe you created, and can get adamant on you playing that request.Im not a jukebox lol

Rap music now has to be one of the most “unfriendly to DJs” music now. No intros, breaks, etc…even when I hear guys playing it it seems like there’s no sense of flow. They’re just slamming in the next record when they see the crowd is getting bored…even if it’s in the middle of a verse.

Plus I don’t know about now…but back when it blew up bigger in the clubs (2003-2009) I noticed the crowds really didn’t care about the actual lyrics…but the “catchy hooks”. I still think if DJs remixed their tunes to be intro-catchy hook-repeat-outro they would rule the crowd.

that is very true! The song could have horrible lyrics, but if the hook is catchy, and the beat is right, they will dance to it.When I go out, Im the odd ball who knows all the lyrics lol and raps/sings to them while dancing to it.

What genre do you normally mix? Keep in mind, you dont have to beatmatch every song.(hope that helps)What songs are you having trouble with?

I had a gig this past saturday and went from playing pop, cumbias, r&b, reggae ,and hip-hop/rap. 🙂

Requests don’t really bother me, but this is an exception. No tips I might add.

yea i feel you.You play their request, and they keep coming back for songs that interest THEM only, and dont tip,Cmon lol
