This past winter I went to a Sundance party where Kid Millionaire was spinning. I was much more impressed with the opening DJ's (some local, Salt Lake City kid) ability and song selection. Someone (corporate sponsor) wasted some $$$$ that night.
I work for a company called Skinparty. I do some design on the side. They paid dj skribble like $10K for one party on New Years a year or two ago. They lost their ass on that party.
Why would a porn company shell out that much for music? Did they already have enough coke?
DJ AM is the antithesis of real schitt. his mixes are a good reference point if you are struggling to understand how to cater for the mainstream audience i guess. i don't care how many pictures he puts on his myspace smoking blunts with Nas back in '94, he ain't credible and never will be.
AM is one of the best DJs alive and has been for some time now. He's a "celebrity" DJ because he put in time as a REAL DJ smashing clubs in LA for years, then getting discovered by the Hollywood set and the whole Nicole Richie thing. Don't get it twisted, it's NOT the other way around.

can't really argue with that.
hahaha this is hilarious. this fool chizzle fell victim to some jedi mind tricks.
How many times have we had this thread now? I'm not really into the style of music he plays, but I can't front on his dj skills. Some of you dudes are looking mad
just saying i never realised AM had a secret past as a REAL DJ. obviously now he has achieved celebrity status he has pretty much abandoned it (well the skills are still there).

This guy gets chicks dancing on tables, with skills to boot. Whats the problem?
Next time you have Record executives at a club handing you unreleased Akon and asking you to play it... I want to know what you are going to say... "nah man I keeps it real!" or has this ever happened to you?..
you dudes are some hatterific fuckin' cornballs. Don't get mad just work harder so "REAL DEEJAY DUDEZ" can tear the clubs playing instead.
The "DJ AM?" thread is like a soulstrut monthly and it's a bad look. I'll wager big money that everyone who whines about AM's selection and skills would trade places with him in a second. This thread is the extra-embarrassing corollary to the "Why can't I play good music in the club" and "Why does no one come to my club night" threads.

That sucks.
Skribble got a bad rep from some folks because of being on MTV, but he's been grinding just as long as AM has if not longer (YBT!!!). He's just as nice with house music as he is with hiphop and reggae, i got some good radio tapes to back that up. I've been to a couple of parties that he straight murdered, only time I saw him where it didn't work was one night in Twilo he came on in the middle of a house music night and cut up Peter Piper for what seemed like an eternity.
Everyone has off nights, but it's hard to concieve of some of these dudes who've been djing for 20+ years all of a sudden sucking or forgetting how to rock a party.
I think there have been some threads where dudes on here have dissed Funkmaster Flex, I can see some younger folks around the country some day calling him a celebrity dj too without any knowledge of his history in NYC.
Pointless sidenote: Skribble was a busboy at my friend's parent's pizza shop.

He gets paid to play the Rocky theme?

I can imagine that he has.
Uuuuhh! Uuuuhh! What did I do? What did I do?

No hate for AM... wish I was a good celebrity DJ
you played yourself. end of story. stop digging the hole even deeper.
A lot of of "real deejay cats" that i've seen, checked out on myspace, and had to sit through their mixtapes suck as well.
