both those figs are 2+ months old and from pretty shortly after they were released, don't really tell us any more than the first week figures

yah but call him 'gucci' & ... etc
― *gets the power* (deej), Friday, 14 January 2011 22:47 (thirteen years ago) link
you'd have to be pretty new to the internet if you think typing "gucci" is the quickest way to find information on him, as opposed to shortening the name of a guy who's name is three nonsense words

had a serious crowd from 12:30-3:30, prolly the biggest ever. Kind of annoyed at myself that I didn't ask for a cut of the bar in my guarantee, because people were going ham. I played "Gucci Time," "I Just Wanna Party," "Whip It Up" and "Hard In Da Paint." Kind of regretting not sneaking "Let Me Smang It" in there.
Deej and/or other DJs: do you find people react differently to pre-Dre, breakbeat-era hip-hop? I remember playing a wedding and no one would dance to all the 60s/70s shit because there was no drum machines. I was doing a successful all hip-hop night but was scared to play anything that didn't sound "modern" since ppl were diggin it. I think the earliest song I played was Blahzay Blahzay. Really wanted to play "Know The Ledge" after it got packed so I could feel like I was in Juice.

also, like every Lex Luger song exists in this 70-72 bpm clusterfuck on my computer, lol
― I Lost A COGHdrop in His Pato (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 15 January 2011 16:24 (thirteen years ago) link
it would be interesting to kind of figure out what old rap songs still work in clubs and if there's some connection to whether the production style is at all similar to modern stuff
― some dude, Saturday, 15 January 2011 16:29 (thirteen years ago) link
i had no fucking idea Lex was only 19
― strawberry shartcake (San Te), Saturday, 15 January 2011 16:32 (thirteen years ago) link
was a cool interview with him in XXL where he indirectly suggested the reason his beats 'all sound the same' is cuz the rappers just choose the ones that sound like BMF and MC Hammer.
― strawberry shartcake (San Te), Saturday, 15 January 2011 16:33 (thirteen years ago) link
which also included an eyerolling quote from Waka where he says he is not a lyrical rapper because he is a Southern rapper. (mutually exclusive? nah)
xpost i mean, i know like "It Takes Two" and "Children's Story" and "The Choice Is Yours (Revisited)" still work and shit, but if i'm gonna go full-on wedding dj, i might as well just put "Billie Jean" on an ipod and shoot myself in the mouth.

All night dude with booze-breath kept coming up to me like "You know would get this crowd wet? Is if you played "north carolina, take your shirt of and spin it like a helicopter"
― I Lost A COGHdrop in His Pato (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 15 January 2011 16:36 (thirteen years ago) link
I would dance to Children's Story! not Petey Pablo tho

pretty much every producer ever has that gripe/defense, but they don't STOP making beats that sound like their signature hit and offering them to artists along with their attempts at more creative or varied sounds
― some dude, Saturday, 15 January 2011 16:36 (thirteen years ago) link
true, though I think that's cuz he wants to close the sale. he claims he sent over 40 to Rick Ross.
― strawberry shartcake (San Te), Saturday, 15 January 2011 16:39 (thirteen years ago) link
that's what i mean. guys like Bangladesh kinda try to have their cake and eat it too by complaining that every artist wants an "A Milli" beat and pointing out that they're capable of something different, but still go ahead and provide what people want from them to keep their career going.
― some dude, Saturday, 15 January 2011 16:47 (thirteen years ago) link
wasn't baiting you (i have far better things to do), just pointing out the terrible logic(!) behind yr resolution
