My Night As A DJ-GONE BAD!!

[Protege]

Before I satrted to do production I dj'd for three years. I had a gig at a long island club last night, and Boy did it go wrong!!! I was doing the two hiphop sets. I started my first set by playing older shit like dating back to '98. I mean, your supposed to... i play the really recent stuff in the second set. The owner of the club told the head of the party to shut me off, because I played Pitbull's "Damitt Man." They said it's not TOO commercial, and to play shit that was on the radio. If you listen to a hiphop stattion whether it be in Miami or New York- Pitbull IS popular. They took me outside to give me this long, boring speech.
When I got back in, the dj who replaced me was playing all NEW shit!!! in the first set. It was ridiculous. There is a set of dance after the first set of hiphop, so I had pretty much NOTHING to play after that except reggea. I played two reggea songs and they AGAIN cut me off!!!
I guess what you expect when you're doing a party for fucking guineas. I'm white by the way, well half, I'm half latino too. I just wanted to post this b/c I like how the Illmuzik.com family is and hope you guys can give me some positive feedback.

Lol thats Pretty weak if the Promoter or Owner Was like that with you especially since they Hired you Im assuming based on your Skills and then dont trust you to Bring Da FIyah

Maybe next time Record Hot 97 and pop the Cd when you get there grab a Chair a Couple Drinkz an Chillout

But I feel you My Dad's a House Dj an he would always be complaing more about how dumb girls in the club be coming up making Requests that would fuck up the whole Set .

That really sucks. You should have thrown some vinyl at his head ninja style. I can't stand that shit when they expect you to play EXACTLY what they want! It's hard enough just trying to keep everyone on the floor happy.

That shit happened to me when i was spinnin back in the day. I was in Shaolin and I was spinnin some old school forst cause it was like 9Pm or 10PM. Then the promoter came over and started poppin shit. I told him to spin the rest of the night or shut the fuck up. He left me alone. Matter of fact that was the night that Raekwon, Ghost, and Inspekath Deck came thru. This was 94 I think when they first started to get known. I remember I played Cream and I got the nod,,lol. I tried to get them to freestyle, but they were on some tired from doin shows all week,,,somethin to that effect. They were mad cool tho.

Bitches like that should take the wheel themselves. I also hate bitches asking for rnb when Im spinning d&B somwhere like biatch, you on the wrong fuggin' party.

Or you spinning the raw nicey nicey hiphop and some bitch comes crying for a tu pac track to rap-a-along with the dipshit.

Word to that.


DJing sucks man, hahaha.

Everytime I used to DJ, there would be drunk ass girls coming up to me requesting chingy or some shit.


Now, I have the best weapon of all.

A NO REQUESTS sign.

They come to you, put your hand up like HALT. They look @ you, stunned, and you point to the sign. Then, before they can react, you put your headphones on, pound a beer, and stare @ the tables.

Works everytime.

[The Bastard]

whats a guinea?

derogatory word for italians

 

[Copenhagen]

I have never tried that in my career but, as most people mentioned, you get the lame requests, usually from girls, or some guy trying to impress a girl. Sometimes, I just do what Hoppa does, or just say that I'm not sure if I brought it, but I will play it if I have, and then never play it.

 

[Protege]

What sux the most is that I gave like the three people in charge all demo cds. They listened to them, so why would they be surprised at what I played? I know why, they're fuckin ignorant to what hip hop is... Stupid fuckin guineas.
