Hey LADY BUG , I played your songs...the whole 2 times you have come to my gigs....wait, with the new year party a few years back that was 3....thats rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrright...
Yeah..I just played everything she wanted to hear because I was getting tired of her stopping me everytime at the metal detector...she kept thinking i was bringing in contraband but it wasn't true...it was my metal arm that kept going off!
One time she even went as far as asking for a strip search!! imagine that!
This is one DJ with attitude.....and I love it....lol...he's so funny....pls read the whole thing......
Things Not To Say To A DJ!!!!
Well first of all... To request a song in a club isn't a bad thing at all. Actually it could be a great thing. It just depends on how you ask the DJ! It could be that the DJ wanted to play your song anyways... and he just forgot to drop that...But sometimes people can be really annoying, disrespectful and just dumb.
Here are a couple of things you better not ask or say to a DJ!
§1. PLAY SOMETHING GOOD, SOMETHING WE CAN DANCE TO ! Always keep in mind that a DJ has to play for more than one person..... So what is really good? Keep in mind that the song you hate may be another's favorite song and i am pretty sure that EVERYTHING played in a club can be danced to one way or another. If you can't dance... its not the DJ's fault!
§ 2. WOULD YOU PLAY SOMETHING WITH A "BEAT" ! BE SERIOUS! I don't know of NO songs played in a club that don't have some sort of BEAT! I never played an acapella joint.... Flying Pickets or an Gospel Medley
§ 3. I DON'T KNOW WHO SINGS IT AND I DON'T KNOW THE NAME OF THE SONG, BUT IT GOES LIKE THIS.... PLEASE don't sing to the DJ. We have to put up with smoke filled rooms and dangerous decibel levels all night long...Do us a favor and DON'T give us a rendition of your favorite song.
§ 4. EVERYBODY WANTS TO HEAR IT ! Oh, sure... you polled everyone in the club and, as their spokesperson, you're requesting the song. Can i see your clipboard real quick... i wanna see the diagrams and the statistical analysis
§ 5. EVERYBODY WILL DANCE IF YOU PLAY IT ! You probably also polled everyone to figure that out... now you know everybody is gonna dance.... I see....... But The DJ won't dance to it. I guess that blows a hole in that theory!
§ 6. I CAN GET LAID IF YOU PLAY IT ! Why settle for one night? Buy the album and get laid for a whole month! And to be honest i dont give a **** if you get laid or not.
§ 7. I WANT TO HEAR IT NEXT ! The ONLY people who can get away with that statement write the DJ's paychecks!
§ 8. WHAT DO YOU HAVE ? It's a lot easier for you to go have another drink and figure out what you want to hear than it is for the DJ to recite the name of every record he has in his crate! Especially since I and a lot of other DJ's nowadays play with Serato... i have about 10.000 songs on my hard drive... i am definetly not going to name you every song.
§ 9. HEY, MAN, NOBODY CAN DANCE TO THIS ! It's NOT advisable to say this when the dance floor is packed (but some people do it anyway) ! HOWEVER, even if there is only ONE person on the floor it STILL contradicts the statement!
§ 10. PLAY IT SOON, BECAUSE WE'RE LEAVING ! If your gonna leave after I play your joint, why shouldn't I wait till the very last song so you stay all night! And again... to be honest i don't really care if you stay 3 minutes longer.... Bye Bye!
§11. YOU JUST CAME? If you ask for a song and the DJ says he just played it, DON'T SAY "Well I just got here." It makes absolutely no difference. One time somebody wanted me to play the song that was playing at the moment ...again from the start... just repeat it... because he and his friends were at the coat check and missed the first verse..... .LMAO.... Come On people... give me a break
§12. MUSIC STYLE? DON'T SAY "Is this the only music you play?" If you go to a Chinese restaurant you wouldn't ask for Italian food. I am also not playing any national anthems in the club. Especially if you are Irish.
§13. BE SPECIFIC! If you ask for a song...BE SPECIFIC. DON'T SAY "I wanna hear something....anything but this!" Try going to the bar and saying, "I wanna drink something....anything but this..." You can't complain if you're not SPECIFIC.
§14. I DON'T HAVE YOUR SONG, SO WHAT! HOWEVER, if you are specific and the DJ says he doesn't have that song, DON'T SAY "What!?!? What do you mean you don't have it? what kind of DJ are you? I MAY SHOOOOOOT YOU!
§15. HE PLAYED YOUR SONG!!! Yes ... you were successfull... The conceited DJ played your tune... you were crazy about to hear. Please don't take this as an invitation to come back every 5 minutes to request the next favourite song of yours. You're not the DJ. He is....respect that... and by the way....a DJ is no ****ing Jukebox...
§16. A DJ IS NO COAT CHECK! If the DJ doesn't know you really really good... don't ask him to take care of your bag, coat, keys, ipod or any other **** you can't take care of yourself... leave your stuff at the coat check... or leave it at home
§17. BUYING DRINKS Stop trying to bribe a DJ to play your song by telling him you will buy him a drink. The DJ drinks on the house... all night long.... so he doesnt give a **** about a free beer.... Rather give us the money ... haha
§18. OWN MUSIC Please stop bringing your own music / demo cd's to the club and asking me to play that **** if i don't know you. You could be the best new cat out... best singer on the planet. That one guy that will have a #1 hit-single next year. I definetly will not play any songs that i haven't heard before i entered the club... and i am definetly not gonna listen to your demo while i am trying to entertain the crowd.... Especially if you claim that everybody will go crazy to your music... I just don't care.... You can give me your cd... and i will check it out at home.... If its fire... I will play it the next night!
§19. CAN YOU PLAY SOME TECHNO? I don't wanna say anything bad about techno. Some like it. I don't like it. But chances that a DJ that is playing Hip Hop will switch his set to TECHNO after you give him a visit at the booth are very low. So please think again before you ask such dumb questions.
§20. CAN YOU PLAY SOMETHING CRAZY? Sure I can... I will play Gnarlz Barkley - Crazy... and let the bouncers kick you out of the club.... its going to be really crazy... Are you ready?
§21. BIRTHDAY REQUESTS I will not say on the mic: HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARL.. TINA, BELLA AND CHRISTINE LOVE YOU AND ARE READY TO PARTY.... its just not going to happen!
§22. REQUESTING SLOW JAMS I am not going to play any Beyonce Break Up or Make Up Songs. I know that it is your favorite song right now, you have it as your ringtone, you and your girls know all the lyrics and can sing a long.... and its also your anniversary tonight... what a coincidence...stilllll.... I am not going to play Slow Jams period. We are in a nightclub people wanna dance... ...
§23. PLAY SOME OLD SCHOOL Chingy's first album is not Old School. Re-Educate yourself please! And to all B-Boys out there... if you request some classic B-Boy Anthem.... be specific i might drop some Break Dance Machine... Usher "Yeah" is no B-Boy Classic Anthem for me.....
So give us DJ's a break! The next time you request a song, stop and THINK before you speak.
And above all....if the DJ has one hand on the mixing board, one hand on the turntable, and the headphones on....Don't bug him
....HE'S MIXING!!!!
NONE OF THESE APPLY WHEN A) THE DJ IS YOUR GUY BEST FRIEND (RIGHT GAMBOA) B) WHEN U ARE THE BOUNCER AT THE CLUB (RIGHT JSUN & MEGA)
C) WHEN YOU HAVE KNOWN THEM FOREVER AND YOU MAKE THEM FEEL OBLIGATED TO DO SO CUZ OF THERE DAD!! (OH THATS FOR CANA DULCE!)
