Definition of A DJ

Club DJs select and play music in bars, nightclubs, discothèques, at raves, or even in a stadium. Hip hop disc jockeys select and play music using multiple turntables, often to back up one or more MCs, and they may also do turntable scratching to create percussive sounds. Taken from Answers.com.
It was a pretty accurate definition. That was for promoters who look to book DJ's and ask "how many people can they guarantee at their venue." Promoters, if you can't fulfill your promise to the owner of the club and make your bar guarantee; don't rely on the DJ we have a job to do (please see above)! Your job is to fill the club. Hence the name, promoter.

Had to get that off my chest. On to the next...

We recently lost 2 great DJ's. DJ ROC RAIDA and DJ AM. Last night (10/22/09) at BB KINGS (NYC), numerous DJ's from all over paid tribute to DJ EFFECT. There were too many DJ's to mention. I took the liberty of posting footage from last nights tribute.







On that note... Shouts to all the REAL dj's out there. Be sure you check out my good friends DJ Mummy, DJ Affect, DJ Suss One and my brother DJ LS ONE on All Star Remix.
