Lmao I am gonna d this the next time some one comes up to me asking me to play something they can dance too

I dunno man, Seems like he blew it outta proportion to me, There was no need to stop and cut off the music for 2 mins cause someone asked for reggae. Wouldn't it just be easier to tell her no? or explain that to her and not embarass her? I dunno. It did make me laugh though.

He may have done that already

That's a solid point.

+1. But maybe it was an ugly chick...

I think I got Reggaeton, Party in the USA, "New York" by Jay Z (Empire State of Mind), and Come on Eileen requests, by the same girl in a 1 minute span, who by the way went from sitting to sitting all night, last night. This was also after someone requested someone else to tell me to play something other than "North West stuff" while I was mixing Mos Def and other, very not Washington, hip hop. kinda wish Kid Capri had been there haha

im gonna try that at a wedding.

+1

Real talk.

good luck

That was awesome. +1

It was funny...my guess is that Capri had a few shots in him...and just had a moment...I don't think that would be the norm for him...but hey, what do I know.

1 of the guys who spins at my residency (mulyi-room bar) also has times where he gets on the mic, kills the music, and calls out a dumb bitch. And every time he does it the girl deserves it

if your cowd is entertained....they won't request shit.

Hahaha, fantastic!!!!

But if your at a pure underground Hiphop party you cant expect to hear Reggae. And I love my dancehall. She should have went to a Reggae party that night.

agree with the first part but not the second. I cant really stand HARDCORE hip hop or rap, but WOULD go to a hip hop club to see Kid Capri perform. It's highly unlikely he'll ever do a Ol' Skool R & B or even a EPM club.

thats fucking awesome, props

awsome haha

this is nothing new from Kid Capri - I saw him once in NY where he pretty much did the same thing but the after effects of it didn't last that long :)

yo i would have ordered 25 shots of johnny walker blue on him lololol

word, next time I catch him spinnin, I'm making some damn requests and gettin me some drinks! hahaha

Kid Capri is more than just a dj he's a real entertainer doing a real show, that girl calling out during his set is like heckling a comedian.

Sorry ya'll, I respect Kid Capri who's more than a DJ, but he should've handle it wayyyyyy better. At his status, he can't treat his audience this way. He should've act like a pro and laugh his way out of this, joke about it for like 5 seconds, maybe mock her a bit, but that's it. You CAN'T interrupt a DJ in that league, but maybe his ego made him go Kanye on her. Just this time, the crowed didn't cheer him up. That act was too long, too disrespectful, too unprofessional. It's just wrong.

ive done that shit before.. shut the music down. some dood comin to me saying noones dancing.. but my floor is packed.. put that muthafukr on blast, just cuz i wasnt playing his shit.. suck a dick. had people fuckin laughn their asses off at this dummy.

the best is when theres a fight.. and i shut the music off and tell everyone we taking a pauze for the cause.. time to take out the trash, u just cant be playign music and being all serious, entertain the crowd! haha

Nah thats just the way Capri is. he is really up front about everything, when i hosted a DJ battle last july, Capri came and spunn a set and he just gets down straight Bronx style. he is the type that demands respect and he gets it.

lol

ive by to a party were hes done this before.......its a regular thing for him when peeps interrupt his sets to ask for a request.......he takes it as a form of disrespect and i agree...........when i saw him do this live, everybody was like what the fuck was this chick thinkin an the dance floor was packed...lol

that was funny. But true. Hiphop club but she want to hear raggae

I have to admit I LOL'D pretty HARD @ that VID!! Bigups Shamann!

i wanna party with Capri!

legend

i wonder if it was the same chick he just brings to do that at shows, like how TI used to have some dude throw a drink at him at every show and chase after him in the crowd to make him look hard lol, easy way to get your friends free drinks

fyi that was at tony touch's party at sutra - a VERY small spot. a bar, not a big club. there were maybe 50 people there so it probably wasn't that big of a deal.

that being said yeah he overreacted. get over yourself. i would be pissed if i was in the crowd and i had to stand around for a minute and a half while he humiliated a girl. hes lucky the boyfriend didnt give him a crack.

not every DJ can do that, ok - I think he handled that very well or else someone would be up there requesting Drake after that!

+1 benny

But you know i feel kid because i work in a night club and i be trying to do me and play the music that's hot today! and the shit that i get tired of is that some drunk bitch will come up to me and ask me to play some off the wall shit! after a while that shit gets old real quick! so i totally understand his fustration as a dj!

word, if you got the floor packed and people are dancing and having a good time then you are doing your job and don't need some idiot asking you to play something we can dance to when the whole club is dancing except them... or saying nobody wants to hear this when again the whole club is dancing and singing the lyrics.
I don't go to their job and tell them how to put my fries in the bag so back off and let me do my thing.

this made me lol

why would you say "jus sit there an let me do me" an then ask the crowd if they want to hear new shit or keep it old? thought you didn't want people to tell you what to do

I had this girl last night who wanted to hear some chitty bang bang remix of MGMT Kids... and I'm in the middle of playing down south hip hop... I think in the entire time Kids has been out, I played it one time, and never got a good response from it.

She not only requested it, she played it for me on her Iphone... and then asked again like 3 times... and then she wouldn't go away. I feel bad being mean to people making requests, but people get so pushy sometimes...

I'm going to get a pair of iPod headphones and keep them with me, so the next time someone brings their iPhone up to me, and they want to hear a song I'm not going to play for them I can hand them the headphones and tell them they can listen to the song as many times as they want.

1. He did too much

2. It seems like there were only 15 people in the crowd

3. She deserved it to an extent, but once again, #1. He did too much

It seemed like he's been planning to do that for a while. He was probably thinking to himself "next time someone requests some stupid shit I'm gonna go off on them and I'm gonna say......"

He was right to do what he did, So stop hatting
Had that been Am, Z trip, or A Trac All you haters would have called that girl all kinds of names, but because it was Kid Capri you have to find a reason to down grade a true hip hop Icon.

I am the first to say that Kid Capri is not the best in the skills department but he is a true pioneer not a made up fabricated pioneer like ZTrip, ATrac and Am.

Those three guys are average dj,s. One of them even has the
nerve to say he invented mashups in his bio on his website, And you know thats a out right lie.

But we have some deaf, dumb and blind fuckers on this web site they hear an Am mix and swear they can not hear the RunDmc sample in his mix these idiots really thinks he made the beat. No he did not make that beat. He looped that shit Rick Rubin and Jam Master J made that beat you deaf bastards.


What you dj's need to do is when you see these so called super stars you should go and call them out on he spot if you think you can really step to them, but they do not want to battle a real dj.

Give the true pioneers their just do and respect.

If you really think Kid Capri is that weak of a Dj. Then you should step to him and call him out to a battle in his face not that post a mix bullshit or post a video lame ass dj wanna be style .
You cats need to start acting like real Dj's not some wanna be ass haters.

have u ever actually played out anywhere?... lmao theres always "that guy or girl".

Didn't he play Lil Kim's Ladies Night?

is that reggae\dancehall?!?

can you imagine the reaction on this board if pauly d did that

Nah...it's weak as f*** hip-pop music...I was making the point because the guy said a pure underground hip-hop night and Capri played that trash.

If you think you can do better go to a Kid Capri Gig and tell him that your self in person. And then ask to battle on the spot.
If that's the way you truly fill as a matter of fact he has a web site and a myspace why you griping to us go to one of Kid Capri sites and tell him that if he does not slap the shit out of you when he meets you he might just battle you.
You won't your scread!!

Did you really just call Atrak an average DJ? The average DJ has won all three DMC, ITF, Vestax battles? And the average DJ has won the DMC at the age of 15?

Yes i did. So that show that you have limited skills if you they are the and think they are top of the food chain dj's

he average get over it

haha . Mayhem

HAHAHA sorry bro ATrak is DEF not average. very far from it. dont get me wrong i am a big Capri fan but Atrak is def one of the greats as well.
TOTAL FAIL!!!!

DJROBsf1 is my new favourite poster.

He intentionally likes to start arguments. His posts are all full of hate and he constantly challenges people, it's funny actually.

dont post it if you dont want us to roast it, write that one down

Capri is a duchebag DJ AM wanna be.! Do that if you're in XS or Haze. Then you'll get my props. That chick pays for his Drinks! and he just ruined her night.

she bought him drinks....well that changes everything

What is the Definition of Average for you?..... That's what I wanna know.

You wanna battle me huh.....huh......ok well say hello to my lil friend

DAAAAAAAAAAMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN look at ritmo step up to the plate!!!!11

I know where you are going with this....

Is it just me, or did he ease up a little when he realized that there was a man backing her up?

Just watched it for the first time and I think Kid Capri acted like a complete asshole. I know it's kind of annoying when someone comes up and asks for something totally different from what type of music is already playing but hell, we are there to entertain the crowd, stop being a jackass and maybe just toss a hip-hop track with a reggae vibe to it on the deck and keep your paying customers happy.

He created a real awkward vibe when there was no need to. And Manny, your right, he did settle down when the lady's dude approached the booth. Kind of dissapointed I watched that cause I always respected Kid Capri.

And the whole "DONT COACH ME" argument loses credibility when only a minute or so later he asks the whole crowd shall he play some new stuff or keep it old.

who ever said dj am,dj atrak and ztrip are average needs there head cracked.that is the most stupid shit i ever heard...do your home work. lol! need to relax with that stupid talk.sounds like a new dj that started lastnight. haha

now with the way kid capri acted i would of not acted like that but i have felt like doing exactly what he did on many occasions....... i just laugh it off because as djs we run across alot of ignorant people.it happens and always will happen as long as we dj out.even doing specific events hip hop,reggae or dance you will always get that person that acts ignorant and wants there song right now and if you dont play it they wine about or get violent acting. ( this is the down side of djing ) which is normal.sad but true!

i do agree that capri might of handled the situation wrong but i respect what he said.because alot of people are ignorant and dont understand what a true dj is.

I hear ya but to the normal average person in the club, we are the ones who just play the music so I think they can be forgiven for asking for music. This whole "no requests" crap make us look so up our own arse, and as most DJ's claim not to have pre-prepared sets, what is the big deal about tossing in a few requested tracks here and there. I dont think the girl was boisterous about asking for reggae, Capri just blew it out of all proportion until her man got pissed at the blatant lack of professionalism and manners directed at his girl. Yes, Capri, you are a legend in the game, yes you have paid your dues 10 times over but it goes a long way to showing a mans fibre when he has to feel the need to stop the music, get on the mic and embarrass a paying customer cause she asked for reggae. You aint splitting the fucking atom!, just either play a reggae track or politely tell her that you dont have any reggae and will maybe throw on a track that has reggae in it if you can...thats the problem with a lot of DJ's now too, thinking they are a lot more important than they really are.

i got to see this when i get home

how do we know how she talked to him? maybe she was being rude.... for me i would of played her request in some kind of way because i take request from nice women if it fits the venue.if she was rude i would of smiled and said i dont have reggae sorry.

you notice i said fit the venue ? he was booked to do a hip hop show.i agree maybe she didnt know it was strictly a hip hop show because she is used to asking for request ( maybe she was being rude while asking ).....she could of came off hard and talking shit to him and maybe not she could have been a nice lady asking.we dont know that.regardless he did put her on blast with a spotlight :) ha!

there plenty of times i have had women come up to me and act like a damn full and disrespect me about music they dont like or a request.( this is 20 yrs of djing ) so u will go through things like this.i do feel its a djs job to make costumers happy and entertain them as much as you can but when your doing your thing and you get someone talking shit to you.it changes the game sometimes if they catch you at the wrong time its even worse and i do believe kid capri was caught during one of these times.it happens in all professions.........

to say he acted 100% correct with the situation maybe not but i know i have been in situations where i wanted to put them on blast like he did.............

when it comes down to it its hard to judge when we dont know the real situation........regardless kid capri is a dope dj and a true pioneer.

we have some big name DJs and NY locals on this board someone get kid capri on the phone and lets get to the bottom of this!!!

i dont think he created an awkward vibe at all, if anything he rallied everyone together. Most likley that was a hip hop event and the people were there to see hiphop and were fans of hip hop. Capri even gassed up the people there pointing at them saying they were hiphop. As a hiphop fan who dosent like reggae i would have been hyped up on some we hiphop get ya shit outta here tip

Fuck it! Have fun!

lol he did tone it down when dude stepped up.

i gotta give it up for dude steppin up for ole girl, thats a real dude right there. I woulda been the loudest one laughing and pointing in the crowd....she woulda had to put up with me laughin the whole car ride home

capri was probably thinking "I'm gonna put this girl on blast and everyone is gonna think i'm hard and cool"
Then that guy came up quick and was like whats up all serious, and capri is like uhh i dunno you guys want me to buy you a drink, just want you to have a good time. Yeah thats not what you were thinking at first when you were like I'm gonna put the spotlight on this girls ass.

Damn! Thats a real ass DJ for you.. he got a "dumb bitch request" 1 too many times...

I think thats what is really was. I mean, he does spin at different spots on the regular so I can't imagine all the dumb shit he must've heard in his time. I bet that was just a venting episode for him due to all the sheep requests he has to deal with on the regular. Some other DJs might've handled it a different way but....it is what it is.

Real SHHH there. I hate requests!

You should find another profession then

true

I have a profession and I still do what I want on the tables. Want to request go to the juke box!

Can never understand a DJ that says no requests...Im not saying that you should have to play everything you get asked for but keeping the customers happy equals keeping them there and will probably result in you having a longer residency at said club. Most of all it will stop you looking like an arrogant ass. Im curious to know what is it you tell people when they request a track (good or bad) or are you one of those douches who wear a "no requests" T-shirt.

No I am not a retard DJ. I play requests but I hate people that are their early and want to hear all the hits one after the next after the next.

oh OK, it just seemed like you were dead against requests...my bad. I get what your saying. You will always have certain people that approach you with the mindset that they are the most important person in the room and want every song they request played extra quick, to them people I always just say "Ill see what I can do" or tell them to do one if they get too pissy but if someone comes up and is regular and cool and asks for a decent track Ill definately try to throw it on soon if it fits in with what I am playing at the time.

"I'll try to work that in for you" Goto line all the time, whether I don't have the song at all, or it's coming on next.

It'd have been funny as shit if after all that he just kicked it off with a reggae song.

I mean it'd have been cool not f.a.s.

People say PEEZY can you play "Blah Blah Blah," I then hit them with HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GOT! Get's them everytime!

Should put a TIP cup in front of my coffin with the word TIPS in fluorescence orange across it!

Instead of TIPS write REQUESTS!

here's a tip....don't do that.

love that movie!!!!

He's cool and all but he murdered the vibe......

shit i have a tip cup at my DJ booth and have had it for as long as I have been at my club. People will tip if you play there track. I play the track I get a tip and the patron is happy and comes back again. I can do pretty decent on tips depending on how many requests I take.

There you go...thats how to handle the situation...you ask for a decent track and I play it, spin a buck or two to my tip jar and everyone is happy.

lol i wish i coulda seen dj am do a set with a tip jar for requests, kid capris prob BANKING off that show id be pissed if i was an owner paying him that much and hes up there groveling for dollars

Of course that dont apply to DJ's getting major wedge for a show...I was talking about the rest of us broke-ass DJ's lol

lol i was just picturing it for kid capri in the current situation, capri how much did you make tonight, i made $10,000 for the show and $14.87 in tips :)

LOL only $14 bucks I made about $120 one night off tips and it was cuz this NY cat from Harlem was in the club visiting San Diego and he was play Jim Jones this play Pop Champagne that. He was putting 20's in my hand every time.

Also I was going to book kid and I got the Family rate cuz I know a chick he used to date out here and he was gonna hit me for $3000.

Id wanna lot lot more to have to subject my ears to pop champagne and jim jones lol

I've seen one guy a few years back who took a stack of 1's (100 if I recall) and made in rain the DJ booth from a song request... was pretty funny. I wasn't the DJ, it was a friend of mine. Friends of mine regularly get $20+ tips in upscale clubs & lounges for requests... Best single tip I ever got was $50 at a teen birthday party (7-10pm before the regular club opened) for taking requests, of course that was from the girl's father...
