I'm shook. I took the offer to play the main public concert stage during All Star weekend, but I'm seriously considering backing down. I don't wanna get nerved up and wreck my name. Big dudes, please to offer advice.

    Definitely, I'm about to dedicate my 2nd comp just to building overviews and doing other Serato related ish.

    I pretty much gotta do it, I just gotta get some drank in me first.

    As a DJ who has played in front of really large crowds (the biggest being over 14,000) you will find that it's easier than you would imagine. When dealing with crowds of that size they'll go nuts by just hitting them with bangers and keeping it fluid and moving. For instance, there's nothing that quite like the feeling of playing a song like Busta Rhymes "Pass The Corvoiser" (which was a hot track at the time) and when he's like "Don't this hit make my people want to JUMP JUMP" and actually having 14,000 jumping in unison. It's some real shit that you'll never forget. Definitely do it, bro. You will regret not.

    Like I said... it will be easier than you think.

    yup. listen to cosmo. real talk. you just gotta keep it simple, don't try anything crazy and make sure you have good monitors (you will). it really isn't stressful. you don't have to make anyone dance.

    MORE REASONS TO DROP THAT PROJECT BLOWED PIFF!


    So this is going to be at the actual All-Star events (dunk, three point, and the actual game). Please to post "all-star weekend playlist".

    On second thought, maybe he shouldn't take this gig. Dude just PMed me to say he was gonna "set schitt off" with Kurtis Blow's "Basketball" and then "do this illy blend into the Wu All-Stars 'Soul in the Hole.'"

    I don't know, man.

    Even a non-DJ like me knows that that's not the move--what he wants to do is mix from Kurtis Blow into the Bow Wow remake...
