Whats Wrong With This New Generation? Doesn't Anyone Care About Lyrics Anymore? Fuck That Southern Shit (Besides The Geto Boys & UGK) But 95% Of That Music Is Wack Club Shit. All These New Songs Are Fuckkin' Love Songs, No Wonder Why All These Kids Are Such Pussies. I'm About To Be 21 This October 26 & I'm Glad That I Was Alive During Raps Best Era Also WTF Is IT With These Niggaz That Be 30 & Over Bumping Lil Wayne? Fuckkin Sell Outs
I remember I told the DJ to throw on Lets Play House at this college party and everybody stopped dancingshit was embarassing
DJ's are in a great position to educate the younger crowd, i wish more dj's would play one less known track and then a more popular one.Then just keep alternating using that pattern.

I may do like 1 older but known track every 5-8, then 1 that they may not know every 20...because the crowd can turn on you fast as hell. You can make em dance hard for 15 tracks in a row...but they'll hear that one they don't like and be like "WTF is this?" It also depends on the type of event and all too...not all songs are meant for all events.
Ya I feel ya'll on that. "Ain't No Fun", "California Luv", "What's My Name?!(Who Am I)","any tone loc shit, "Bop Gun", "Let Me Ride","G-Thang", "Made Ni$#az", "Hail Mary", any mixalot shit, "Hotel", "Sprinkle Me", all dat shit still gets the club crowd active even if they don't know it. Tistic I remember you from wcrydaz and tjs djs, how's it been bruh? You still make beats?
I think it may be different at other schools though...if I did a HS event somewhere in the suburbs, the kids would probably look at me like I was playing some damn Barry Mandelow or somethiin. For y'all...does it seem like the youngsters know anything about, or care anything about the 90's music?

For y'all...does it seem like the youngsters know anything about, or care anything about the 90's music?When I first started DJ'ing in clubs 2-3 years ago, all I would play was old school rap and r&b and the people loved it. That was at a 21 & up club/bar. Lately I've been doing this club every Friday night that is 18 & up and when I drop some shit like California Love I'll get a good response from about a quarter of the crowd and then a super mediocre response from the rest of the crowd like "wtf is this song?" or "why is he playing this old bullshit?" So it's definitely changing as we get older.Honestly though, as a DJ I've found that when I'm spinning, I get way more into the songs that crowd likes if they're into it, even if the shit is wack as fuck. I mean there's no point in playing Gin & Juice and clearing the dance floor and feeling like an idiot when I could toss on Flo-Rida "In The Ayer" and have the whole crowd going nuts throwing their hands up and shit. It gives you a rush when you have the crowd moving like that. I tend to keep my personal tastes to myself when it comes to dj'ing, and because of that, I've become a better DJ as far as reading a crowd and knowing what to play when and it's really advancing my career.My advice to all you wannabe dj's out there, when it comes to rockin' crowds, play whats hot today, and keep the throwbacks to a minimum.
