Mistabishi faking it - Thoughts?

[aymat]

Here's my take:

Yes, the music is what is most important, but so is integrity. If I'm paying money to see one of my favorite djs play music I enjoy, that's exactly what I expect to get. I'm paying to see someone who has elevated his art form or does something unique. Why the hell would I spend money to watch some guy hit play on a cd player and talk on the phone?

DJing is not difficult, at least not in comparison to countless other jobs you could be doing. But if you choose that as a profession and you don't have the common sense to treat it with respect, then you have no business calling yourself a dj in the first place. And you definitely dont have any business conning people out of their hard earned money with your scammy bs.

If you consider djing your "job", then treat it like one. This means you have to work when youre doing it. I can sit on my ass and play a cd while talking on the phone... does that make me a dj? Apparently in this day and age it does.

The point is, there are people who do what they do because they have respect and passion for it. And then there are those that don't. Its a simple balance. You have to decide what side of the scale you want to be on.
