DJ Stone Crazy

Dudes like that are scared that a woman might out-do their house guy so they feel they gotta resort to doin/sayin stupid things like that.While over here a dj is a dj weather they got a pair of breast or a pair of balls……feel me?
Last time I read, a drum-n-bass DJ by the name of 187 had both. Still, we feel ya.

Naw, playa, you ain’t a real DJ. Just messin’ with you.;)
ParticipantI don’t know how it is elsewhere. Yet, I found out there’s a regional stereotype here in the States. If you’re a Southerner like me, folks assume you don’t know diddly about New York hip-hop and the history of hip-hop in general. One night I was playing a lot of New York hip-hop and folks swore that’s where I was from. And my Southern drawl is pretty obvious.
ParticipantYou might have to kick his a$$ again.
ParticipantYour buddy was jealous of you. This is why he was being a pain. Sometimes alcohol reveals people for what they really are. And he hadn’t apologized for his actions.? That should tell you something right there. As for me, I’ve had friends who talk and talk as I try to work.

I hear ya. In the beginning, I attempted avoiding certain songs. Yet, when people request it, you have to give in…unless you make it strictly an underground hip-hop night or something like that. I play “make it rain” because I know women dance to it.
ParticipantDeeJayIvan, post: 3993 wrote: I have no problem being a dick to patrons who’s request is for me NOT to play a certain genre of music. My experience with this usually happens with hip hop heads who have no tolerance for house music, especially if I had just finished playing a massive urban set and had barely played my first house/dance track and they’re crying for more hip hop already.
You’re right, they can be douche’s too.

I started beatmatching/blending across genres to keep myself sane, but it ended up being a useful skill that can keep a room of disparate interests happy enough to drink for several hours. What were you playing besides “Make It Rain” at the time? I’m curious. Sounds like Cure douche was the dude trying to be a rapport leech for requests he couldn’t get in outside his car or house. There’s nothing wrong with not playing every request, to be sure.
My all-time favorite THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE WORKED moment was at a frat party when the social came up (absolutely hammered) and insisted I throw on the chicken dance in the middle of a banging club rap set. It so totally worked.
True enough, diversity is the key. Still, calling it “ghetto music” was uncalled for. I was also playing house music.
ParticipantI agree. Still, some folks are asking for a stomping when it comes to request. Last Sunday, some dude told me to stop playing “Ghetto Music” and play the Cure. Heads were nodding and he tells me to change my music. I’m still holding on to my belief that rock music lovers are the biggest douches.
ParticipantIn the States, we call this player hating. I agree with pilotmike327. You threaten them. Because of that, they resorted to stereotypes. In their minds, the only thing a female is good for is being a groupie. Heaven forbid one calls herself a DJ. I guarantee some listeners picked up on the same thing you did. Ignore idiots like this and keep doing what you do. 😉
July 15, 2011 at 1:32 am in reply to: What is a really good dj website supposed to have in it? #3829ParticipantI hadn’t prepared any mixes yet. I do write the occasional playlist. You’ll see my address under this comment. Oh yea, one thing that has attracted folks to my blogs are photos of girls. And I only include the girlie photos when it’s convenient.
ParticipantWhen doing hip-hop in clubs and bars, ignore hip-hop purists. The main focus is getting people to dance. Personally, I focus on the women. If Laffy Taffy gets them to dance, I’m playing it. As for mixing itself, I attempt beatmixing towards the end of the song. Also, just like DJs in other genres, I mix by notes and try to mix not mix songs 4 BPMs slower or 4 BPMs faster than the current song. Oh yea, despite the popularity of not playing the whole song, a growing number of people don’t like that. Keep that mind when you mix.

DJs are stuck up snobs who only DJ to get laid/get famous/etc.I do it for the music, man! 🙁
Another one more is:
DJs are too cool to mingle with regular people.Yo, Adam, DJs get laid? I didn’t know that. 😉

“You don’t scratch, DJs scratch”. GTFO, they’re turntablists, not DJs (IMHO, turntablism is separate to DJing, the skills are so different, but still similar… like bus-driving and racecar-driving).
i get that all the time. And you get this from folks who wish they had your gig.
