Since trump lost - are you guys gonna take the trump signs out of your yards and take the flags off your trucks? Or are you keeping them up for the next 150 years like the confederate flag after you lost the civil war? Btw- both lasted ~4 years.

If you have “DJ” in your name, and all over your social media, and you’re in my DMs asking me how to determine the BPM of a song, you should reconsider calling yourself a DJ until you do some fundamental research.

For years, as a kid, I would throw on @gangstarr “Code Of The Streets” and just cut to @REALDJPREMIER on the hook. I got a lot of my swing and funk in my scratches from listening to Preemo and mimicking that unfadeable style. Thanks for inspiring a generation! 🫡 and #RIPGuru

social media as promotional tool for artists, musicians, DJs- is easily ~8hrs/week of work or more, if you’re making your own “content”. It’s exhausting and draining to say the least. It also sucks the fun and creativity out of creating things as art
