I need about 2 million dollars, a bottle of vodka, and space. . .
Ya know, dj’ing has been interesting. It’s 3:15am and this is what is on my mind. I’ve been doing my thing down at Rapture/R2 for about a year and a half now. I’m thinking about the music I played when I first started and the music that I play now. For those who don’t know, I am a HUGE deep house music fan. I like my house soulful, vocal, and layered with big beats, nice chords, and soothing basslines. Back in the day, I used to rock a deep house set (as part of a mixed set with some other dj’s). I really liked that. Now, I find myself playing to the crowd: top 40 hip hop (what they call hip hop nowadays) and other urban radio play. Being a fan of Talib Kweli, Mos Def, The Roots, Common, Jean Grae, Jurassic 5, Little Brother, and a few others, it’s hard to hear folks like Lil Jon, T.I., Webbie, and the rest of that southern tripe and consider them HIP HOP. I threw on some REAL HIP HOP and the floor froze. Put on Snoop and they move again. *ugh* This is such an old VENT of mine. Why bother using the space??
I just want to be able to rock a deep house set to a crowd that appreciates it like I do. Is that so much to ask?!?!?!
All I need is about 2 million dollars to open up a small club/lounge in the Ville. I’ll need a bottle of vodka to wash down all the racial shit I’ll have to go through to open something like that here. And, then when it’s all done, just give me some space/time to show folks what REAL music is.
Dream over....
