besides the Becky classics (Get Low, In Da Club, Humpty Dance, Sexyback, etc)lately I've been getting requests for Buy U A Drink, Pop Lock and Drop It, Unk-2 Step, Party Like A Rockstar (yeck) and Umbrella of course.so what will they be asking for tonight/tomorrow? Fabolous w/Ne-Yo - Make Me Better? Enrique Iglesias - Do You Know (The Ping Pong Song)? We Takin' Over? Lean Like A Cholo? Lil Boosie? Eve - Tambourine?Timbo - The Way I Are is very likely

I do not know any of these songs and that makes me so happy.
I had the same thought.
I said I'll take a request, but she was really insulted i didnt let her just jump right on in the middle of my set and find her favorite becky classic.
WOW...
Also, in the middle of a little soul/disco set, had asses moving for the first time all night, get a sour-ass becky like, "are you gonna play some hip-hop soon???"

The game has advanced.
I wonder how often this has happened to Microwave??? DJs.
-e
I like that Eve song
on the other tip this is yet another path for a DJ to get some stanky
what if you use Microwave
I think you would have so say 'DigiCrate' .
why is s_e_r_a_t_o changed to microwave? i am clearly
the timbo joint sounds nothing like whats on the radio. sounds like an old record.
i gladly play records like these.
not once have i played party like a rockstar or countless other shit songs.
"Becky
Does anyone else think this sexist term is also racist? I mean, it's used to describe loud, coarse, demanding girls with tacky taste? Hm, sounds like it's implying JAP to me. Or, am I just being oversensitive, and this is a non-denominational sexist insult?
Actually, I have to say that I don't think Beckys' taste in club / bar music is all that bad (I assume it's top 40 hiphop, RnB and 80's hit's like Prince and MJ). That stuff is way better than the "college" music that your pale, navel gazing, glasses wearing, journal keeping, I-pod cozy knitting, allergy having, tea sipping, wispy, bangs sporting, cat petting, Tim Burton loving, muffin top over thrift store brown Levi's cords showing, bicycle with a basket riding, vegetarian, girlfriend likes.
Your girlfriend is like the anti-Becky. What should we call her?
I think DJ's forget that when folks go to the bar / club, they don't care to hear something new and challenging. They're not there to be awed by the rare original 45s in the DJ's box. They're there to get drunk, feel sexy, and maybe get laid. In order to do that, they wanna hear something thumping, familiar, danceable and catchy that they can get down on the dancefloor and do their best Shakira to.
Once in a club, I attained the next level of existence while dancing like a stripper to Britney's "Toxic." Three minutes of transcendance.
Not saying I would ever own a Spears album, but, would I request "Toxic" in the club from the pretentious, skinny DJ in Buddy Holly glasses and converse? Hell yeah! And if I annoy him in the process - even better!
Shalom,
Rebecca "Becky" of Michigan"
"racist" against jews?? well, as "jewish sounding" a name as Becky is, i think you might be a little off-base. if we called these girls "Yentils", you might have an argument.
"I ain't talking about knishes and matza balls, mang".
what is this, is this real? I cant figure this out, is there someone here neamed becky or is this a cut and paste from an email or something.
If you have not DJed in a bar or club, then you don't know. As annoying as Becky can be, I generally feel sorry for her.

i think i've held out on Party Like A Rockstar so far. I'm not hattin' on the Timbo stuff btw...wish there was more like it actually...as far as innovation/creativity
ps- DIE
So for example:
DJ Purity Test:[/b]
Give yourself one point if you've ever...
...been asked to play hip hop while hip hop was playing
...been asked to play "something we can dance to" while the dancefloor was completely full
...been asked by someone if they could plug their iPod into your mixer
...seen people having sex on the dancefloor while you were playing
...had a drink spilled into your crate
...had a drink spilled into your mixer or decks
...been screwed out of money by a coked up club owner
and so on, feel free to add on.
Becky,
Are you hot? if you are then I agree with you .... these soulstrut jerks all all a bunch of sexist pigs!
if not .. then I don't
That is all....
"can you play something good?"
"can you play some Tupac?" while youre playing it.
I've dealt or seen this happen before.
I've made a guy cry once because of his ridiculous requests. I feel good about that still.
oh and make sure your PM's are clear. There is someone in here with a buddy glenn. I still have yet to meet this glenn.
hahaha!
...told that you are not a REAL DJ because you won't get on the mic and announce birthdays, graduations, 21st birthdays, bachelorette parties, etc.
...told that the DJ last Friday was WAY better (when that was you)
Something she can dance to.
