Lowest Pay for a Hip Hop DJ???

Def DJ Hypnotiq 9:37 PM - 18 November, 2013
Question DJ's....in your opinion what is THE BARE MINIMUM A DJ SHOULD GET PAID AT A MEDIUM/MEDIOCRE TO BIG MAINSTREAM CLUB??? I personally think the DJ should get paid 1 dollar per head that enters the club...eventhough that RARELY Happens....

Get paid? I thought it was customary for the dj to pay the club to play there now adays?

The question was Not well thought out because standard pay rates vary from country to state to city to neighborhood. It is illogical to believe there is an answer that works for all regions of the world.

I was wondering more what they are doing on the EDM nights where there are 10 peeps on the lineup?
Now it seems like its DJ idk VS DJ idk x's 5 and that's your night. They have so many kids wanting in they are stacking them. He's on line one the other gets line 2.
Can't blame the kids for wanting to play out... But It's gotta be for fre fre free..

On the other side the club owner gets to have live ent all night..

10 hoodrats = $1

1 dime piece = $5

100 hoodlums deducts pay
