One thing’s for sure, he’s not talking to the real dj’s who do in fact STILL do exist today. If in anyway you were offended by his comment, don’t get mad. It’s your own fault.

JD is right TO A SMALL DEGREE, and thats because djs is trying to get paid also. He cant say djs are dead because no matter what or how big tyme rappers look at a dj. They still have to repect the fact this it is the djs promoting there shit, in every club around the world. WE ARE YOUR PROMOTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And how can JD talk when he is or was a dj his damn self. LOL. I saw him djing at a kids party in New York. Now was he only playing and promoting his shit?? Or other rappers shit as well. Smile

And my last point is. They talk about djs like we are doing something wrong. I dont see any rapper putting big money my pocket. But im putting money in theres because again. We bring the shit to the club so people hear it and then they go out and buy it. So dont say the djs is dead, cause without us djs (good or bad) Artist aint shit.

Its a case of one hand washing the other. Its about money.
And everybody is trying to get paid. So why can we get paid. Or are we suppose to just put your shit out there so you can get paid and we sit back and watch you grow.

And LIL Fame i mean LIL Wayne is talking that same shit. Here is a brotha thats been on all kinds of mix tapes and now acting djs are fucking up with him.

It shows everytime. Niggas wit money DONT KNOW HOW TO ACT.

HAHA @ FLIP .. “.. as a college graduate i didn’t understand a muthafuckin thing this nigga said ..” HAHA .. shit is clownin ..

word to tommy blak .. the djs that are truly about the art of djing (exposing the masses to new and undiscovered artists) are always overlooked.

He speaks the truth for dj who do not want to work hard to get their name out there. They want to get big overnight by passing off what it is they’re doing. Unfortunately a lot of the dj’s who aren’t doing what JD is describing (they are actually playing the new stuff/local stuff/and scratching) aren’t given great opportunities for gigs. Where I’m from, won’t really say, but a lot of the clubs here will overlook a talented black dj for a crappy white one. It’s not nice to say but it’s the truth. JD is dealing with folks who see him for who he is, a celebrity. But it’s not everday a dj is trying to pass out his mixtape. I think it’s too early for him to speak on this issue, maybe he should wait a few years before making that statement.

The DJ IS an artist. Having albums like Khaled’s (that may be spelled wrong) isn’t new. But the DJ Clue Professional albums were compilations. Khaleds’s album was an album version of a mixtape. It sounded like a mixtape. I acutally thought it was a mixtape. You dont have to be a rapper to put out a rap album. But lets see some of the DJ’s do an entire album with one rapper and see how they do. I have more but I dont want to go on forever.

It has always been like that though. DJ cool use to do it all the time. The times he did drop an album. The professional was filled with calbo’s. This is nothing new. I think people are upset because they do not capitalize themselves off of a certain thing. Jermaine started out as a DJ I guess he didn’t see the money, so he switched. It is what it is.
