djwho Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 ahhh! Listen spoon man I wasn't dissin anyone I dont think the dj's i reffered to are bad dj's at all maybe if you knew how to read you would understand that I just meant let the other dj's have a chance too.

So please read twice b4 you comment buddy!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sf97 Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Let's say you make it big (Jonathan, Jr, Danny, etc..) Are you going to step out of the spotlight so someone like you or me can take their place? Do you know how hard these people worked to get where they are? Did you know that JP's first gig was 17 years ago at Cafe Iguana? He has worked every weekend since then to be where he is today. He only "made" it in `97 when he landed Sound Factory. Did you know that Danny Tenaglia had to move to Florida to get the respect that he has now. And in my opinion Danny is just blowing up now.NOBODY is going to step down so you can step up. If you want it, you gotta go out and take it.

So please read twice b4 you comment buddy!!!!Okay, you went from a kinda silly post to a downright stupid post.I always give people the benefit of the doubt, and play nice trying not to make enemies and the like. But this once I'm gonna go out on a limb for you.You're a fucking idiot.Now if you'll excuse me, I think I'm gonna ask my boss to quit so I can have his job.

djwho Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 First of all spoon you have to be the biggest dick i have ever seen in my life. People like you are the kind of people that shouldnt go out cause you always got something to say about someone. You cant leave people alone can you? I didnt post that for you to come back and insult me. Lets talk about DJ's since your the expert over here. Yes Jonathan has been djing for a while yes danny has been djing for a while. Does that make them the only good DJ's out there? NO i think not! So stop dissing people b4 you even hear them play! Thats like saying just cause you havent DJed for 20 years "YOU SUCK" Do you think that people cant be good? people cant be better? is there a perfect person out there? come on now spoon stop trying to diss people just cause your nobody. and for the people that are saying "get booked" guys i do get booked. Im on 92.7 every sat. night I DJ Twirl, I DJ Ohm, I DJ in cancun for 2 months out of the year, I DJ las vegas 5 times a year. Im not telling you I wanna be the biggest DJ out there and take over other people's spots. All I said was keep an opened mind for other DJ's out there.

spoonyd Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 You clearly posted that you expect deejays who have paid their dues to get where they are to step aside so YOU can play, because you think you are better than them (admittedly, some of that is subtext).that makes you an idiot.I don't care WHERE you've played. The fact that you try to justify your post by braggin about your gigs makes you a loug mouthed idiot.You're the kinda dj I have to listen to every time I go record shopping. Going on and on about how they know better. That you got the shit.You say that all the big names have earned their respect and now it's time to step aside. That's fucking idiotic.I never dissed you as a dj (time for you to learn how to read yourself). I dissed you for what you wrote. That you earned.Now, let me repeat. People DO keep an open mind over lesser known talent. What you need to realize that fame is not formed on the main floor of Sound Factory. If that's what you want - you can have it. I think most self respecting deejays would rather do their own thing and earn the respect and be rewarded for their hard work.You think you're the only dj on this board looking for recognition? You're certainly the only one making statements of complete idiocy. If you're half as good as you claim, success will come, but it won't be handed to you. Try being as good as, and working as hard as these guys did to get where they are. Then you might have the right to bitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randy0159 Posted December 6 Report Share Posted December 6 Any asshole can mix some records together. You will find that ll of the big names all produce. You know, actually show some internal creativity then merely adjsuting the volume levels on prerecorded music.If that isn't enough, start your own party. Like everyone else I am a struggling "up and coming" dj, but it takes hard work to get yourself out there. If you have indeed played these otehr palces then make the most of them. If you are bitching about having nowhere to play then you are obviously not maximimizing your potential and that is jsut waht the big djs had to do.

spoonyd Posted December 7 Report Share Posted December 7 I love the fact that this assumes that the dj's he's referring to don't care about the music they are playing or the crowd they are playing to.Dude, you'll get nowhere dissing other dj's that way.FYI, there are a LOT of lesser know guys out there, doing their thing and being appreciated for it.
