antifm Posted November 18 Report Share Posted November 18 not really thugzactually THING wannabees and more so just people who have been led to belive what they are hearing is HIP HOPIts notthey are hearing RAPtheres a big differanceHip hop is a culture. The music is actually GOOD. it has creativity. a skill that you can pick out instantly and you can even hear the words in the music.Rap however...... while sitting at the Clearchannel studio in NYC, we played a new release from a new rapper. The girl sitting next to me who has been in radio for 13 years was tryingto understand most of the song.It wasn't on air yet, and wont be until about Feb 2008. Even still. the point is that RAP sucksHIP HOP however is something that needs to be BACK in thisscene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NauticaX Posted November 19 Report Share Posted November 19 Went to Avalon this past Saturday and was very disappointed. Crowd was pretty ghetto. The House room was dead. At around 1-1:30 I can count the amount of people in that room with both my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbert Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 Is Avalon making money or not. Why dont a another club or new people buy the club. Shut it down and redo the club from top to bottom and make it a world class nightclub like Pacha.Fog ,machine ,laser light shows and dancers and Plasma TV or flat Panel screens.

antifm Posted November 25 Report Share Posted November 25 pacha isnt world classits just really really BIG.say for example there was only ONE floor in pacha..... would it be any different.world class IMO is where all the big named djs come from outta the country and outta state to play........ and if you look at the calender, that isnt Pacha.I know a number of djs who contact me on a weekly basis whom want to get onto my radio station, the frist thing they tell me is of their weekly spot or regular spot at pacha.To me , djing at pacha is a waste of time. Theres so many djs in there and so few people going FOR the djs, even if i played there twice a week, still no one would know my name.The same goes for these other djs contacting me.the reason its not just shut down and bought out by someone else is .... business smartsits already a place that has very little if any trafficthe current owners arent making anything on it so why would someone else take it by the reigns if it has nothing really to offer the public.Since there is a LEASE agreement in place, they cant break it.If someone wants it, theyll have to wait til that runs out. ----------------Now playing: My Vision Of Dancefloor #01 Mixed By VERSUS 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sashadude Posted November 26 Report Share Posted November 26 Went to Avalon on TGE to see Eddie Halliwell and others and let me tell you something, I have never seen Avalon in the shape it is now from all my years going there. They had to set everything up on stage instead of DJ boothbecause its all torn up. I am not even sure if they are trying to fix it or what.Place was almost empty considering that it can hold thousands.The way they are going,its not going to last. On the other hand Eddie and Co. absolutelyrocked that place. What a night of great music and I just dont understand why they could not fill that room with line up like that. Oh well...more room for me to bust a move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
