djustinh Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 Does it bother any of you that most of the DJ's we praise and go to hear either 1ce a year or 1ce a week, take something to enhance their ability to perform?I personally don't give a hoot, but it bothers alot of people I know.What's your take?

magilicuti Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 djs take recreational drugs, athletes take steriods and everyone else is on anti depressants and other shit. look at all the people in the world that couldn't move without having a pack of cigarettes in their pocket.

xxlea Posted March 19 Report Share Posted March 19 I think even further back than the 60's drugs have influenced music makers. How about art and literature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PinkFloyd40 Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 no it doesnt' bother me that they use drugs... why should it?they're just doing what the majority of people are doing at clubs.. enjoying the music and using chemicals to enhance it.. if its ok for the clubgoers, why shouldnt' it be for the dj's?and ya can't equate it to steriods.. roids have a direct positive affect on performance, while coke or ecstasy do not improve a dj's ability to spin..though i do think its the BS that people praise JP for extended sets while he's getting help from Tina.. *that* is a direct connection..

cintron Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 I'm well aware that there are DJ's who do it. There's a line though, between creativity and blatant abuse. Some can use drugs to enhance their performance a little or to give them that creative edge they want...then there are some who can't live or spin without them.to each their own, I say. I'm a sober partykid, but I'd be somewhat curious to know what DJ's do what and how often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keough Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 if i`m gonna take drugs to watch a dj, why shouldnt he take drugs to perform for me, if he`s just gonna do things thta are cool on drugs, i`m happy. I find someitmes fucked up you can be more creative and shit. Almost all of wall street did coke at one point, prolly still do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bro, you drink......thats a drug too.To tell you the truth, if some djs do what they want to do and feel they perform better, so be it. Mick Jagger is known as one of the best stage performers in history and he was completely fucked up every time out there. Personally, all I need is a 40 and I'm game.

It sucks because it gives athletes who busted their ass and did it the right way, the clean way, a bad name.Made it sweeter for me when I used to stomp their asses when I knew those fucks were juicing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention, cause of the sport I was playing at a division 1 school. It was amazing how many kids were juicing and wrestling all amped up.........and when I won it just added to the flavor.Its a bunch of bs.....just cause someone is an athlete doesn't mean he is enhancing his performance unnaturally......it can be done.Do you think Pedro Martinez juices?

magilicuti Posted March 20 Report Share Posted March 20 its been studied that athletic ability is 75% genetics. if some guy with no cordination takes steriods it won't do shit for him, and the steriods might not even play any role on his body. people that think steriods are magic know nothing about steriods.
