Why did I decided to write about female dj's, oh well I've been receiving a lot of questions lately why didn't I venture this whole music industry since I am affliated with a lot of people in this industry we called show biz. From record artists to underground performers. From sound engineer to the boom boy.Some actor and actresses here and there, even my own sisters - both involves in this entertainment stuff. I became friends with too many of them especially dj's.
DJ-ing, looks fun. Trust me its something that gives you pleasure when you see the crowd dancing to every beat you produced. Whether you're a Skratch Dj or a Mixed Dj, it doesn't matter. It gives you pleasure seeing people happy, dancing letting the melody taking over their body like they couldn't careless about everything else around them.
But it's a hardwork too, you have to come out with something new all the time - cause people would get bored if ya keep doing the same thing over and over again honey... You have to be creative, and keep up with the revolving music industry. Looking at my friends hard work everyday, put a pause down my dream to pursue a career in DJ-ing, lol..it's not like i've thought of doing it...haha..
But a female dj ? It's kinda odd when ya try to picture a ladette up on the decks spinning, skratchin' when she's the one suppose to be on the dance floor alluring every guys into her cage, lol...
We're still lack of them, society still have the thoughts that being a Dj - you have to be in male with a dick hanging out in "da hood" and start your thug"gish" slang. " Wanna hang out in my crib ma ? " "Yo..yO..YOyo...wanna play roll da yoyo's with me ma ? "...starts walking around bopping ya head and put on the hoody when it's not even drizzling...and what so ever..
I think that BOTH male and female's are equally talented. Yes male dj's are a dime a dozen. What sets the female dj apart is that people tend to think to themselves, "Man, this chick can spin!". So they focus more on the fact that a girl is playing records, rather than some talented individual is making your body move.
A guy can be jumping around the booth, clapping and smiling as much as he can. but if a girl goes and does the same, I bet you would enjoy her set more. I guess it's more of a novelty.
It's a known fact that women have a much more delicate touch and sensibility when it comes to art...and music is no exception.
Female Djs should not be treated as novelty acts, no way...I'm glad there's opportunity for them to show their stuff and at the same time, they better be good...the fact that they are female spinning doesn't really impress me...I want to see some talent.
How about me ? Well I'll just stick to skratchin' balls and spins my body around the floor aight ? I'll just stick to doing my thing on the dance floor. But probably pursue more in acting and singing, owh you gotta hear me sing - I'm the famous rain maker.
Fizzle ma Shizzle,
