I don't mind it if it doesn't get in the way of the music - but people like Claude Young nooooooooooo! Leave the records alone! Leave it to the hiphop DJs - I want to hear the record!
I've read this line a few times. Don't know if you buy records, but you sound like a either a potential customer, or a true hater. I would like to think that you are a potential customer. So please buy. Good records tend get hard to find after a while. But to borrow a hip hop line, "don't hate, congratulate". Some dj's are more skilled than others. And I really hate boring dj's. There are to many in the world clogging up the arteries like bad cholesterol. One last thing, In Detroit, we learned to play by having to have to play many things, for many types of people. And some of us liked many types of things. Variety is the spice of life. If you don't like the style, you can always leave, or not go at all. Everybody is an expert now. I remember when this was hated. So buy these records, and play them at home. Don't be mad at the successful ones. Shake Shakir. Frictional Recordings.
