I really don't see why there's so much hate for Pauly, he's simply taking advantage of the fame he's been given. Any one of you guys would do the same.

Surely he should be given respect for the fact he's still rocking the turntables and showcasing his actual abilities rather than using some kind of autosync bullshit and making people hate on him even more!!

Do your thing Pauly, I for one have no hate for you whatsoever.

Well said.

The Real DJ Pauly D said "Why on earth would I do that? You cant scratch with autosync" and I dont have an problems with my beatmatching. I rock crowds proper, I'm a party rocker son. When you start making the paydays I do you can make these kinds of statments but until then mabye you should try something with auto-sync. #justsayin

You can scratch period. Check our your own videos for proof.

Thanks for the support!!

but when he calls himself better than average dj

LOS ANGELES – Mix up another batch of Ron Ron Juice.

The tanned misfits of "Jersey Shore" are down for a potential fourth season of their popular MTV reality series, which documents their hard-partying, slap-tastic lifestyle while living under one roof. Paul "Pauly D" Del Vecchio and his castmates said last month that they haven't signed up for another installment but would be juiced for more T-Shirt Time.

"There's been talk about doing another season," said Del Vecchio. "If it happens, I'd love to do it."

Del Vecchio's dream edition? Transplanting the mostly Italian-American cast to Italy. Jenni "J-Woww" Farley, Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola and Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, the hulk known for concocting his blend of alcoholic juice, share the sentiment, though Ron Ron warned he's "only got two more left in me, and then I'll go do 'Dancing with the Stars.'"

Before the cast could return to The Motherland or the ballroom, their Miami-set sophomore edition, which has continued to dominate in the ratings, will end Thursday with an episode featuring the gang road-tripping to Florida's Everglades for an encounter with, as Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi calls them, "crocodillies." Then, they'll be reunited on an Oct. 28 episode.

Polizzi and Del Vecchio are rumored to be filming their own MTV spin-offs, but the network declined to confirm any new commitments to programming related to "Jersey Shore." The cast's much-ballyhooed return to the boardwalk last July in Seaside Heights, N.J., will set the stage for the upcoming third season, likely to begin airing early next year.

"It's the same deal," said Vinny Guadagnino. "It's the 'Jersey Shore' you know and love. We never fail to entertain. We have a new roommate, and we stay true to who we are. Seaside Heights is not a complicated place. There's like three bars, three clubs and that's what you see, and that's what we keep doing. It gets funnier and funnier by the second."

Angelina Pivarnick, the feisty outsider who battled throughout the second season with the other self-proclaimed "guidos" and "guidettes," was replaced for the third edition by Deena Nicole Cortese, the "partner in crime" of Snooki, who recently completed community service stemming from her arrest for being drunk and disorderly on the beach in July.

Since the cast of "Jersey Shore" last partied together at the MTV Video Music Awards, the foul-mouthed twenty- and thirtysomethings have been working hard to extend their 15 minutes of just-add-bronzer fame. Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino tangoed on and off "Dancing with the Stars," while J-Woww brawled on an episode of TNA Wrestling's "iMPACT!"

"I think we're all doing our own thing and taking this opportunity and making the best of it," said Ortiz-Magro, who is currently appearing in "Just Dance 2" commercials. "This gave us the chance to get our foot in the door, and I think we're all doing pretty good. We kicked the door wide open, and now we're just doing whatever we want at this point."

That mostly means hawking clothes, energy drinks, makeup, health supplements and an array of other products, including novels. Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, is scheduled to release Polizzi's "Shore Thing" in January. Just don't expect the cast to get into politics. Ortiz-Magro isn't interested in being a full-time role model.

i've heard many worse djs than Pauly D.

getting immature now...

these posts are getting immature now...

i just googled "DJ Pauly D hater" and guess what? This post showed up on the first fuckin page. All u assholes need to take a fukin bow for makin this guy even more popular. Even if its negative, you're still helping him stay in the public eye. I swear yall are too stupid to fuckin believe. An i mean every word of that shit!

There are worse STD's than syphilis but that dont make them ok.

have you ever considered anger managment, you seem upset, is ciroc doing bad or something??

I mean seriously dude how high of a pedastal do you have this kid on to get this upset over people talkin bad about him

Dont fuck with diddy. He will have the southside compton crips take u out.just ask pac and biggie. Real talk. Cops aint looking for obama just ask biggie momma.
Back on this subject. Any post hated towards pauly D should be deleted. At least he's using serato and not vdj, torq, or ni. Ya'll take to much time worring about a millionaire, then looking for gigs. I wish i had his gigs. Instead of being mad at fucking craiglist post with $30 hr dj's that we all have to compete against. They are in fucking coach with us, but pauly d is in the milehigh club. Get a life. While 85% of us is at home cuz the $30 hr dj took our gigs.

Shame on you DJ Alkemy. Reading that made me almost spit my coffee all over the desk.

I agree once there's autosync in all of the software everyboby and there momma going to be dj and also there's going to be no more skillz in it.

Man...... for everyone hating on the dude, he's got every chick in this club SCREAMING

Watchwww.youtube.com

i can do that too... just scratch in all the hot top 40 garbage thats out right now... look at his mixing. its GARBAGE and YOU know it. this is wat DJ'in has come to. im being pretty dead serious. i cant take pauly d seriously.

yea yea yea hes famous and wat not but he OBV does it for the money and fame.

just garbage.

Well sure... anyone can scratch in top 40 all night with little mixing, but can you make 400 girls scream just from doing it?

put up, or SHUT up kid, let's get the battle on son, anywhere on the east cost, i'm there, why don't we battle on your up coming mtv show......

I would pay good money to see this..... you guys should really make this happen....

I've made more money in 2 years of looking stupid than you have in your entire successful career, who's really the fool here. GTL!!!

i'm not going into my Retirement Fund for you, be realistic about it son

i'll put up a life time supply of hair gel with all the junk you put in your hair, it should be close to 100K

put your training day dvd away son, we don't need no denzel impersonators in here, that was 2001 it's 2011 kid

you 100% correct, he makes a valid point, that he makes money off of his tv show fame, not because he has skill......

me i make money cause a have skill, it's not every one that makes a living off of music, i do, i don't have a day job, i love what i do, & i am fortunate enough to make a good living off of it

Dj-M.Bezzle, that's the best idea you ever had..LOL....... who's gonna sponsor me....LOL

Interesting you brought up the date because your the one still playing by old rules. Its 2010 and your still playing 1960s ball, step out past the 3 point line its there and its useful. Its 2010 there's a new rule book to play by. Before 2000 it was all about skills, now its about who you are, what you are, and what you can bring to the table to make everyone money. Skills aren't enough to ride on anymore you have to have that something extra to get you to the next level. Jazzy Jeff got to where he was by skills, AM (RIP) got to where he was because he dated a celebrity and without AM jeff was thrown off stage. People in the crowd dont care about the crab scratch chirp flare you perfected in your room in 96. If you want to be be a start you need to act like one and give the corwds what they want. DJs and some guys want to hear all your crazy skills, I play for the women and where the women go the men will follow.

I think this video speaks for himself how he really mixes...

he pays my 10 year old cousin to make mixes for him, 2 g's a mix....my little cousin makes more than me a month!

prove it

Those sort of gigs don't exactly attract the sort of crowd that has a sophisticated understanding of the difference between a good DJ and a bad DJ anyway.

Painful.

This is the best scam EVER.

the reality is you are fungible

Fungibility is the property of a good or a commodity whose individual units are capable of mutual substitution. Examples of highly fungible commodities are crude oil, wheat, orange juice, precious metals, and currencies.

wikipedia

And the sort of DJs that spend their time hating on dudes like Pauly D and being jealous instead of honing their skills.

I find the whole attitude of hating on DJs who use Auto BPM/Autosync pretty silly. I spent years learning how to beatmatch by ear, but guess what? When I play live, I'm still going to be using those features because they make my job easier, and I can spend more time making sure the mix sounds good. I think people that argue that you're not a real DJ if you're not beatmatching by ear have a very low estimation of what sort of talent a DJ should be bringing to the table - as if that is our only stake in the territory. I do think learning how to beatmatch is important, but it's only one piece of the puzzle.

and i doubt this guy is even the real pauly d because noone making the money he makes to just show up and wear hair jel would waste there time arguing with the likes of you jealous basement DJs.

AM used to show up and argue\discuss all the time

lol but you said it yourself...bein cool IS his technique

lol i meant am would argue technique or things of actual meaning

Atleast hes using the EQ's to transition,

Preeeeeeeeeeemiiiiiiiiiixxxxxxxxxx

Preeeeeeeeeeemiiiiiiiiiixxxxxxxxxx

but in that whole video, it was just a single crooklyn clan track, no mix, no transition... not riding his jock (nh) but I've heard a ton of guys play CC remixes. I'd rather see him do the remix live, but that's not the way ur average jock does it nowadays anyway.

He's just playing the track, and posing for pictures... like I said, if you were in his position, ur publicist would have you doing the exact same thing, in the same damn t-shirt!

So what about when you see him pushing the vinyl to sync up the tracks, atleast hes doing the effort and actually trying to make the transition,

Well you cant see him moving the EQ's but i see him pitch shifting the vinyl, maybe it is all fake and they just tell him to do this and that every once in a while, lol, like a puppet, and the strings leading to the ceiling of the club with Tiesto as the Puppet Master!!!!!!

pauly d just twists knobs...

For no apparent reason too

Do we dj for fun or to make money? Maybe both? It took me about 3 minutes to post this. I'm at work at my shitty job and can't wait to go home to spin records to the wall until my resident night....

Meanwhile Pauly D is sitting on his ass making 10 times more cheddar than me and has half the skill...I'd switch with that dude in a heartbeat, bring on the blowout baby.

You do realise the 32 threads about him on this board are the internet equivilent to those headless chickens running right

Im being very realistic, that's couch change for me. How am I supposed to take you seriously when you can't even cover my discounted apperance fee. Go out there use your skills to get some real gigs, make some real money, and come see me when your ready to play with the big boys. If you cant pull that then how is anyone supposed to make money off of your apperance.



Dude I'm PAID to wear hair gel, think about it. Man seriously some people think their on top of the game and they don't even know what game their playing. This is chess not checkers!

I'm 16. Looking towards a future with DJing as a side job. Learned Traktor 3 in and out and I don't use the sync button- mix by ear, pitch shifting, etc. etc.;

I play a lot of good progressive trance, some detroit-style techno, good old school house, trip hop, drum and bass, and I've developed a good enough ear for tracks to where I can pick solid tracks while keeping a harmonic mix going for 30-45 minutes easily. The dream crusher here is that (at least in the U.S.) no one gives a fuck about that kind of music, or how well mixed it is, or the REAL technique behind solid, albeit not overly complicated mixing by ear with 2, 3, or 4 decks in Traktor. If I had the money I'd get a serato setup in an instant, but that's a different story- I'm a bedroom DJ. The crowds want to hear that fake ass pop shit that tops the charts. If I were to just show up in Miami with my setup and play at Space or something along those lines, where people might actually care about the mixing and the flow and effort behind it, I have a feeling that I've honed my skills in more than good enough and I know my tracks well enough to raise the roof just like this hair-gel addicted nut, but the problem is is that that whole collective culture of people who actually care about mixing is largely gone, or at least holed up in their bedrooms, hiding from exposure to fruitcakes like Pauly D, so therefore, my potential audience is, for the most part, gone.

dude......did you just sign up for an account purley to complain about how pauly d is single handidley holding you back from making the jump from your bedroom to one of the most top tier clubs in miami............ thats some next level ish right there, add another point for Mr D

Haha, he's not holding me back so much as making me realize that there's not much demand for actual good DJs anymore. I'm not giving up on anything, just maybe putting things into perspective a bit more haha.

hows your scratching??

Ok so let me get this straight, your only skill is beatmatching niche genres that are all within a very limited very structured BPM range with a korg nanokontrol and your complaining the public has no demand for "good djs"............come on man seriously....i mean seriosuly?

Being able to make 4 deck mashups sound well orchestrated and good, live, with a piss-poor cheap setup is not easy, and neither is keeping all of that beatmatched

the demand is there, but the club owners and the people making those demands aren't necessarily making the best judgement when they book guys like Pauly D over others

Its happened to me before where people who don't beatmatch, much less make a transition with their top of the line serato-based setups have gotten the gigs I've vied for.
[/quore]

which is 100% your fault, you chose to play very small niche genres, in the states theres not much of a market for deep trance techno and trip hop ect. Most gigs are about pleasing the crowd so with little crowd for what you play your gonna have to focus on forming a following early, put alot of mixes out there, put some vids on youtube, befriend people on twitter and facebook and build your own croud you can use to leverage position at these places

I am so MOTHAFUNKIN' MAD that this dude is 100% correct.

Only Reason You Get Gigs Is Cause your On That Stupid Show...

...No Real Dj's Who Really Mix and Scratch Give You Any Props Cause You Suck!!! Your Not Even In Our League...You'll Never Get A Radio Mixshow In Any Major Market, Cause No Program Director In Their Right Mind Would Give You A Mix Show Cause You Suck Ass!!!!

Stick With Fist Pumping..Thats The ONLY THING YOU DO GOOD!!!

If you were the real Pauly D you wouldn't of said this. Cause infact Pauly D did smoke on the Jersey Shore. GTFO you poser!


Dont try and front on me I know who joe cooley is, hes the cigarrette mascot right. Just because I dont smoke dosent mean i dont notice things.

the sad truth is you'd be nothing if it wasn't for MTV that is the hard reality behind all your fame :)

You found a way to market yourself on a TV show any of us could of been in your position and that's the damn truth.

that u were nothing but a bar/small club dj

only reason why u get crowds is because the fact that mtv made u what u are today, and thats the main reason people come out

i don't watch the jersey shore because its possibly the GAYEST show that has came out since queer eye for the straight guy

im sorry but there a million other djs that are better than u homey

besides britney spears sucks ass anyways...how honored are u that u get to dj for the same bitch that shaved her head, got caught of driving with her baby in her lap in the front seat, showed her coochy to millions of people and has the intelligence of a rat?

plain and simple....ive seen pauly D live....it aint all that special....honestly MTV blew u up for no apparent reason and now ur getting bookings all over the world....before that u were nothing but a bar/small club dj....only reason why u get crowds is because the fact that mtv made u what u are today, and thats the main reason people come out....i don't watch the jersey shore because its possibly the GAYEST show that has came out since queer eye for the straight guy....but dude u can have all the diamonds and shit but its the amount of respect that u get behind the tables that ur lacking...im sorry but there a million other djs that are better than u homey...besides britney spears sucks ass anyways...how honored are u that u get to dj for the same bitch that shaved her head, got caught of driving with her baby in her lap in the front seat, showed her coochy to millions of people and has the intelligence of a rat? check ur self before talking homey u aint that tight dude...its not about the equiptment that u use its about the skill...and honestly u aint that skilled...ive seen 85 year old grandmothers dj with 8-track decks better than u lmaoo!!!!

Correct me if im wrong but isnt every successful dj a small time club\bar dj before they blow up or are some born superstars?


yes but your missing the point, the fact is I am getting crowds and people are comming out.


If you don't watch my show how can you form an informed opinion on it? Also you seem to have alot of knowledge of queer eye. I wander why that is.


I agree. Same could be said about you and millions of other people. It's ashame their not doing more on their part to make it.



who are you opening for?

You're 100% correct I would just be another small time DJ such as yourself if I had not been blessed with the oppritunity in which I capitalized on. On the same note DJ AM would be in the same situation if he had not had the oppritunity, obama would not be president had he not had the oppritunitys that he had, and you would be unemployed\have no gigs, had you not had the oppritunitys to get them. Everything anyone has is the product of an oppritunity. The key is taking advantage of the oppritunity. There are tons of people who have oppritunitys handed to them who still manage to pass on the chance to make something of it and I would say I made the most of mine thank you

Check your PM ;)

Anyway I'm done with this rant im going to go cut up some video mixes while you work on your baby scratches :)

Most of us didn't get into this to compare the small skill set that 99.9% of people out side of DJ'ing don't even care about such as scratching, mixing, turntablism etc. .

and this is why DJing is shit these days.... lack of skills.

lets be real for a second....

aside from the exploits of viacom (mtv)...

has anyone here actually seen or heard my man pauly d live (not youtube practice sessions)?????


because, realistically, after being in music forums for years, and i mean this respectfully, most ppl who talk that 'im better than you' shit are trash. so by my logic, paulie d is probably a better dj than 75% of the dj;s in this thread.

We have technology that can fix all of our mistakes as DJ's for the most part

Really? lmao. Would you care to elaborate? Auto-sync doesn't work so no, it doesn not fix our mistakes as DJ's. I'll like to see you elaborate as to this wonderful technology.

Apparently I do that well enough to be as successful as I am, what do you do well again?? With the time it took for you to put your hate for me into writing you could have been directing it to a MTV talent scout, master of the mix recruiting people, a clubs booking agent, sending a hot mix to your facebook or twitter fans, comming up with a gimmik of your own, perfecting your scratchs, perfecting your look, or hundreds of other more constructive avenues to further your own career but instead you chose to use that time to do something that did not benefit you in the least, as a matter of fact you did something to hinder your career because now i will definatley never battle you as I wont bring you up to my level to have my shine on you to give you a chance. WHat do I have to gain from battling nobodys again>? Thats right nothing. Good luck with your career and I wish you well at getting that anger problem checked because it can't be healthy. I need to get back to filming my new spinoff show so good day to you sir.

You still have to know the basics. And, that's just to get by. To stand out, you have to dig into the art.

@ Bezzle.... I'm sure he's talking about live mixing. If you suck as a DJ, no technology is really going to help you. You still have to know the basics. And, that's just to get by. To stand out, you have to dig into the art.

Yes if you want to stand out amongst your peers then you need to know how do things better than most your peers. If you want to be accepted by mainstream there are programs out there that if you can't mix they will mix for you. Mixmeister and Virtual DJ are programs that will do that for you. If you can't sing then autotune (and someone who knows how to manipulate it) will correct your voice. Either of these will allow you to be popular in the masses. To your peers? No technology will not help you with your peers.

It all depends on who's "JUDGING".

If it's a bunch of DJ's dedicated to the art, Pauly might be considered someone who sucks.

If it's a bunch of screaming chicks and promoters cashing out - He's the man.

So, you look at what part of the population each group takes up...DJ's dedicated to the art, are a VERY SMALL MINORITY...

So, out of a crowd of say, 100 people, chances are 4 or 5 of those people MAY be DJ's dedicated to the art, who would hate...

That leaves 95% of the population liking him...

Anyone else still want to talk smack and say they wouldn't trade places in a heartbeat?

Just the fact that anyone is using a latop PERIOD or hell a CDJ is technology that is making it MAD EASY to DJ.

Imagine NO LAPTOP.

No Cue Points

No Skipless Records

No Relative Mode

Hell, we already know what an issue it would already be for SOME of us to, dare I say it?

Mount a Cartridge on a HEADSHELL?

If they bring it back to 2 pieces of REAL vinyl and a mixer, the DJ game would kick out ALL posers who weren't dedicated to the art.

Murderous....

So you're saying that if a person wants to DJ, they need a laptop and that automatically will make them DJ?

the problem with what you said there is that there are so many "djs" out there now using these programs that alot of the masses no longer know what the "right way" should sound like. Ive had so many customers come in saying they want to hear crap song A followed by crap song B followed by crap song C at 60 83 and 115 bpm, when i tell them theres no way thats happening, not only because im drivin the bus but because it wont work musically, they list off 30 of the 40 djs in my area who have no prob doin it.

Mixmeister? Virtual DJ? lmao - they don't mix for you the right way. In that case, you better throw iTunes in there. I thin the fade out/fade in feature is better.

Let me clarify... making something EASIER, doesn't mean that is "automatic" as this guy is suggesting.

We have technology that can fix all of our mistakes as DJ's for the most part

2011 must really be gettin close because i agree 100% on johnnys side on this one.......fuck ill be back in 5 i need to drink some clorex for typin that

Is that what he's saying here?



I don't see where the "automatic" reference comes into play.

Is that what he's saying here?


I don't see where the "automatic" reference comes into play.

Yes if you want to stand out amongst your peers then you need to know how do things better than most your peers. If you want to be accepted by mainstream there are programs out there that if you can't mix they will mix for you. Mixmeister and Virtual DJ are programs that will do that for you. If you can't sing then autotune (and someone who knows how to manipulate it) will correct your voice. Either of these will allow you to be popular in the masses. To your peers? No technology will not help you with your peers.

Let me clarify that "successful" is NOT just about money.

Actually, it's about WHO IS PERCEIVING IT...

Successful to "You" may not mean the same thing to "Me".

People have different standards...

And the DJ world has gone from DJ's depicting what's successful, to the PATRONS/CLUB OWNERS/PUBLIC making that determination....

Same with music selection...

The DJ doesn't hold that trump card anymore, the Radio Stations and who's promoting it do...

You get in where you fit in.

"fix all of our mistakes" - That means that you can just basically go crazy and the technology will "somehow" (automatically I assume) is going to make you a good DJ with zero mistakes.

You CANNOT Assume he meant "Automatically", as there is a LOT OF POST PRODUCTION STUFF, that CAN fix our mistakes...

And yes, you can basically "Go Crazy" with the Technology, and thus said person will sound like a GOOD DJ with No Mistakes..

Nobody said anything about "Automatic" or "Real Time"...

regardless of who is perceiving it.... successful has a few definitions and it's not solely about money.

Well, he said mixmeister and Virtual DJ... those are NOT post-production softwares.

Like I said, YOUR definition of SUCCESSFUL might NOT = Mine, or his, or the rest of the world's...

So you cant' set up cue points, loops, and premade mixes in those brands of software?

regardless of who is perceiving it.... successful has a few definitions and it's not solely about money.

Like I said it all depends if you look at this from the busniess or art perspective, the "sad fact" as you call it is that most artists of any art dont make the big headlines to the mass public whereas commercially viable "art" will be accepted by the mainstream as true "art". Neither is wrong because art\music is subjective to the viewer\listerner and its all about what you take from it. True art\skill dosent translate well to the masses. Its not hard for a smart person to understand something stupid but its nearly impossible for a dumb person to understand something very intelligent so if you want to succeed in hitting the masses the stupid route is the path opf least resistance.

I was going by the definition of successful as in THE DICTIONARY. One that WE ALL GO BY.

lol

I was going by the definition of successful as in THE DICTIONARY. One that WE ALL GO BY.

lol

Remember, we're DJs, all we need to do is play tracks that people enjoy, it's not about the live mashes or tricks.

Look up a little bit... "REAL TIME"... See? He didn't say it, but there it is....

and you can't just throw PREMADE MIXES in there... cause now, the software is NOT fixing anything. Just playing them.

We have technology that can fix all of our mistakes as DJ's for the most part

---- Yeah. Pauly D is successful...

So you agree that Pauly D is successful?

He said -


Which is true...

You've got Autosync, and basically, YES you do need to know where to bring it in so it would sound "Correct" to the DJ's ear...

But to your AVERAGE LISTENER, it would probably be a moot point...

Plus we all know, the REAL talent of a DJ (from a Technical point of view), is how to actually ride a mix, AFTER you know where to drop it in.

So basically all he REALLY needs to know is "Where" to drop it in", and let the "Auto" do the rest....

It's a question of what you mean in the fullest sense of the word "Automatically".

I just said he sucks as a DJ.

I've never said he wasn't.... I just said he sucks as a DJ.

Wrong. Drop two songs that are way off in BPM's.... auto-sync will sound like shit doesn't matter if you drop it on time.

I have personally seen a DJ live in a public venue mix from the cupid shuffle to all i do is win, with NO beatmatch, NOT at the right time and WITHOUT a slam, he just pushed play on the CDJ then moved the crossfader over.....SLOWLY. From a musical perspective it was the worst live public transition i have EVER heard, from the perspective of a customer.....the dancefloor was PACKED with college kids doing the cupid shuffle who immidatley got hype as hell and putting their hands in the air............................and they stayed there and they stayed there going up and down. Noone on that floor gave 2 shits that he annaly molested 30 years of culture with 1 wrist flick

So, even though he "sucks" in your opinion, he's still successful.

You do realize you are a part of the 5% of the General population who would think so...correct?

As far as DJing is concern... in skills... he is not successful.

It depends on what your looking for in a DJ, if you just want to hear hot current songs, and you dislike scratching then hes a great DJ

Well, a DJ has to at least be able to mix without trainwrecking....

i dont think ive seen him trainwrek?

Wrong. Drop two songs that are way off in BPM's.... auto-sync will sound like shit doesn't matter if you drop it on time.

I don't know what you're trying to get at Johnny. He is successful in the definition of "money" and accomplishments.

Well, a DJ has to at least be able to mix without trainwrecking.... the stuff I heard from him, he has trainwreck more than Amtrak in the last 50 years.

It depends on what your looking for in a DJ, if you just want to hear hot current songs, and you dislike scratching then hes a great DJ

So how many "DJ" are out there that trainwreck CONSISTANTLY, that are still employed?

Unfortunately, by "Today's Standards" a DJ doesn't need to know how to mix.

Lol. The jealousy that burns inside you must be a horrible thing to wake up to every day. If you were a doctor would you be ripping on other doctor's saying "Your only the top brain surgeon because you went to Harvard, If I went there I would be more famous than you!".

All we do is DJ. Most of us didn't get into this to compare the small skill set that 99.9% of people out side of DJ'ing don't even care about such as scratching, mixing, turntablism etc. Most of us don't have that break dancer mentality where we feel that we have to battle each other to make ourselves feel better about ourselves. We're playing other people's music for a living. See the bigger picture and find another avenue to make your self feel better about yourself each day.

You've already stated he would be just another club DJ like you if it weren't for the tv show. Pauly D has even acknowledged he was blessed with the opportunity to make it to where he is because of that show.

Your just simply on here posting your anger that it wasn't you that was made famous from a tv show for doing something you love to do.

WOW! I could really care less if I was famous or not. It has absolutely nothing to do with jealousy what it boils down to is skill.

because he blew up, he's watering down the game......

Proven fact #1 He does not get booked based on his skill. He's booked cause of how many ppl he can pull due to his celeb status. We can argue about this all day but that's the truth!

ALL DJ's either get booked because of how many people they can bring in or how little they work for.

Before you go and say "I know DJ's that get booked because of their skill" Your lying to yourself. If they are really skilled and alot of people like that DJ and will see them spin anywhere then that still falls into the category of getting booked because how many people they bring in.

There is no club promoter, agent or nightclub owner/talent booker that is booking DJ's for anything other than how many people they will bring in or how cheap they will work for. That is the sad truth. It's always been that way with bands as well.

What the hell was he doing with all those arm movements lmao

he's juggling the beats but putting in too much effort like it's not that hard lol. the scratching was not in time in most of that video. The drops were random and his set was all over the place. If you think it even sounded somewhat decent you are tone deaf just like pauly d.

once again, did you notice the PACKED crowd going crazy??? Musically he may have been horrible but was he rocking that crowd??

Yes I saw the packed crowd mostly all female chicks.

really? you realize pretty much every touring dj plays the same routines when they tour...

People going to watch Justin Bieber are gonna be going wild. Dont mean I gotta like/respect/give props to him for doing that.

really? you realize pretty much every touring dj plays the same routines when they tour...

The Bieb is acutually a talented musician

really? you realize pretty much every touring dj plays the same routines when they tour...

that's one thing i really don't understand, like I dj 3 nights a week but it's never the same routine. Fuck that would really bore me to play the exact same set at every club.

Ok

Yes I saw the packed crowd mostly all female chicks.

Try finding time to make new routines while travelling city to city.

you make a good point even AM switched up his sets alot. If you are a well known dj you can pretty much just mix the music whether it be Top 40 or not and prob still have a crowd screaming

who gives a flying fuck about anything else other than skills.

Yes I saw the packed crowd mostly all female chicks. if you think this is a crowd going crazy then I really need to record myself at my gig on a thursday ladies night.

and you think thats a bad thing???

If that was the case, 95% of the DJ population wouldn't need logins here...



You need to put into perspective that the GAME HAS CHANGED...



And if you don't adapt, you will be left out...



Ask me, I KNOW...



And I'm better than MOST on here (Including you..lol) ...and I can STILL respect his marketing game...



He's someone who SOMEBODY ELSE wanted to exploit, and you would be LYING if you say you WOULDN'T be doing the same thing he's doing during his 15 mins of fame.

And I'm better than MOST on here (Including you..lol)

And stay off the peace pipe.

And I'm better than MOST on here (Including you..lol)

And stay off the peace pipe.

I SMELL A BATTLE!

And stay off the peace pipe.

most of us are just interested in skill levels as a DJ.

Thats my point. If Im on a DJ board then the pre requsite for a DJ is skills and he aint got them.

I get what ya saying but when people say, "look at the crowd though" when referring to Pauly D's fans as if that has anything to do with his skill as a DJ. And like you said, on THIS board, maybe. Thats my point. If Im on a DJ board then the pre requsite for a DJ is skills and he aint got them. If I was on a business board or a boar that was about maximising your 15 minutes of fame then he would be one of the 1st people I would reference. Sadly, it is a DJ boardd so I stick by what I said.

who would think they're the coolest thing since Relative Mode...

I can say, the same - "The pre requisite for a DJ is skills", but how many people ON HERE actually would meet that "certain standard"?...

Some would claim their "Mic Game" is more important than DJ'ing..



Some would say, Track Selection..



Some would say, the ability to rock without a computer, cue points, skipless records, etc., might be important...

:D

U ma dude tho...

But hey...

Some would claim their "Mic Game" is more important than DJ'ing..

All of them things are skills in my book. All adding up to a complete DJ. None of these things you listed I would put Pauly D forward on as a selling point to him being any good asa DJ.

Did you just decline a battle? Wack. :P

And I'm better than MOST on here (Including you..lol)

So you think someone's MIC GAME is more important than DJ'ing?

ALL DJ's either get booked because of how many people they can bring in or how little they work for.

Before you go and say "I know DJ's that get booked because of their skill" Your lying to yourself. If they are really skilled and alot of people like that DJ and will see them spin anywhere then that still falls into the category of getting booked because how many people they bring in.

The last couple hundred replies sound like the first couple hundred replies to this thread.

LET THIS SHIT DIE ALREADY. Hes famous, making money and hes definitely not slowing down. Let him be.

I believe he was calling you out... and you said... u ma dude tho.... meaning, you wouldn't battle him?

And you already WAXED me... let's not go there again.

No. I said ALL them skills adding up to a complete DJ.

I think a DJ's job is to handle the mic as LITTLE as possible, except for last call...



Speak with your handz.

I agree, but in this day and age its called for a lot more.

who gives a flying fuck about anything else other than skills.

everyone on the planet EXCEPT other djs

Other DJs of your style.

Celebrity DJs have been around for ever! It's not a new thing, Music Radio is pretty much founded on celebrities playing music, before people started with all that mixing. You can't go back in time and say those people aren't "real" DJs.

everyone on the planet EXCEPT other djs

where did i say anything about celebritys or people being real Djs?

First part aimed at you, second part not so much.

I think it's going to be a continual source of annoyance to the peeps here that what most people in the world understand to be a DJ, isn't what most of the people here think it should be. They need to get over it, it's not going to change.

Exactly. We are on a DJ board.

But at the same time,some people here on the board thinks that if you cant scratch you have no skills,i know a lot of dj's that are really good at scratching but their music selection and reading the crowd suck! Ive also know dj's that suck scratching but know how to rock the dancefloor, i also know dj's that claim to be the shit but cant buy a 200 dollar program LOL

here's my penny's worth......
don't hate on the "celebrity" DJ. don't hate on someone doing bigger things than you.... negative thinking yields negative results. I'm sure that there are a TON of DJ's better than me.. and a ton better than other cats who some people on this forum knock... but they got their break..they made the best of it...and they're doing the best they can to EXPLOIT it... if you haven't learned by now that you have to do anything and everything to position yourself in a better light than the other 20 million DJ's on this planet...then you're at a loss.
It's the success of Pauly D from Jersey shore that made mere-evaluate how to attack to get to another level.
I'm absolutely positive that 99% of the DJ's on this forum cut, scratch slam better than I do. I haven't attempted to beat juggle in years... at the end of the day think about this:
What's your end goal? Do you want to be a battle DJ. Do you want to be a club/event DJ.

From there form your game plan to go about doing it to the best of your abilities... and never burn a bridge...poppin sh** about other dj's that are in a better situation than you...just makes you seem bitter....stop being so negative and see what works for others and incorporate other people's marketing schemes into something that fits your goals..
#JUSTSAYIN

Here is a life lesson that some of yalls need to read twice and memorize. I'm reading these posts and some of you seem personally upset and even angry at me and my success. Your blind to what is really going on, it's not me it's you your really angry at.

Think about your position, if you are a resident at a widley popular club in your area and your spinning to 2000 people every night and you log into facebook and see that some kid who just started Djing landed a gig spinning a 9 year olds birthday party are you gonna get upset and shower his status with hate comments about how hes not a real DJ and he dosen't have skill? No because your happy with your position in comparison to him, you may even be proud of him for getting it because it does not threaten you or your own self worth.

You know how I know I'm doing everything right, because the people who are mad at me know all about me and they take it personally and get angry, but I have no idea who these people are. If they came and hung out with me for a week they would be furious, they would rant about how im an asshole and how bad I suck and they would rant all the way down to what I ordered for dinner not being up to their standards. All this because they feel they deserve it more and don't have it. On the flip side I could spend a week with them in their routine and I would have a blast and go right back to my life happy as can be not thinking twice about the week I just had other than the fun I had and all the hot women who were DTF.

I have a great life, I'm financially set, I do what I love an dhave passion for, and I bring my art to a huge audience, and whats sad is I layed out the blueprint on how you can get this as well. I showed you how a DJ with "no talent" can make it to the top and live the good life doing what you love and instead of using what you consider to be your "superior talent" to take it to even higher levels (because who cares about anything but skill right so if you had what I have and skill skiys the limit right?) you spend your time ignoring everything I've shown is proven to work and you stick to your delusions that some big time connection will stumble into your 500 person club and hear the same crab scratch that 15,000 other DJs are also doing and decide your crab scratch sounds a little bit better than most so hes going to go out of his way to expose your "amazing talent" to the masses, who will no dout recognise that your adding an extra click than most in your flare than most and embrase and love you forever immortalizing you in the halls of the DJ hall of fame for revlutionizing music.

Dont even give me the "I don't want to be successful" or "I don't care about the crowds" speeches because if your playing out you either A) Like making money or B) enjoy showing off your "skills" for people and I am maximising both so by the very nature you want what I have and your upset because you feel like you deserve it more, you feel entitled, and it is funney because none of you know how much work I put into achieving what I have, in other words "its not me your mad at its you". If your not interested in either of those then stay in your bedroom and keep your opinions to yourself because they dont matter out here in grown up world. Heres a suggestion, stop trying to tear down other DJs who are successful, instead figure out what it is that they are doing right and try to improve on that to better your own position in the game. If you cant understand a book written in a different language you learn the language you dont burn the book.

STFU idiot.

It's the success of Pauly D from Jersey shore that made mere-evaluate how to attack to get to another level.

STFU idiot. Why would someone go to this length to write an essay about someone else. Get a grip.

C'mon man, you're know you're arguing with a FAKE, right?

This right here is what EVERYBODY should take from this...

So tell me Johnny. Are you, at 45 or whatever looking to "take it to the next level"?. Are you trying to get to Vegas and have commercials etc. Are you planning on advertising cereals?. Just curious as to what you can gain from following Pauly D's business acumen.

people need to stop worrying about other people and worry about themsleves, its true what they say once you start making money everyone is a hater and they say "im just stating my opinion" no you are hating

The venture will involve STRAIGHT POLITICS, and I already know that. It will involve some FREE *ISH from ME, but I'm prepared to do that now. I'm prepared to rub elbows with people I KNOW I won't like, and to hold back on embarrassing "Established DJ's", until I can get past them to really put myself on.



THAT is what I've learned from Pauly D. Skills are NOT as marketable as they used to be...You have to have a different edge.

The term hating is there for people who dont know the difference between an opinion and being bitter.

You needed a Pauly D thread to learn you that?. Hmm. Ok then.

So, what does being 44 have to do with anything again?

There are a lot of DJ's on here who I respect. Yoshi being one of them.

So, what does being 44 have to do with anything again?

That wasnt a diss, it was merely to point out that I doubt you are really looking to becoming an established touring DJ. Am I wrong?

There are a lot of DJ's on here who I respect. Yoshi being one of them.And that once again is solely down to his DJ skills.

This isnt directed at you alkemy but the "hater" term IS being used correctly in the context of MOST of the posters in this thread.



Opinion



"I dont think hes very good", "I dont like him"



Bitter



"He sucks"

DJ Alkemy - Do you "Respect" any DJ that can not DJ as well as you can?

But if someone says he sucks on a skill level then they aint really far from the truth.
