well I have my opinion and you all might not like it, but i think dj's who play cd's are toy.
here's why:
1. Vinyl sounds much better on a large system
2. If you want to mix properly you have to know your vinyl (no auto bpm, no push button que no looping)
3. Most CDJ's don't have any concept of scratching or beat juggling.
4. Down loading mp3's does not count as digging! Nothing will show you musical diversity and appreciation like getting your fingers dirty in a record store.
5. You cant look to the future if you havent seen the past. Having vinyl is like owning a peice of musical history. How else would you know that Twilight 22 was sampled by nearly every breakbeat producer out there.
6. Its a cool way to destroy the enviroment. Much more fun then driving an SUV.
7. Vinyl DJ's get more pussy/dick. Its true ask anyone.
8. Its a good workout. Vinyl's fucking heavy. If you have ever hauled 2 crates after the house party from Oakland to Frisco on the BART you would know what I'm saying.
I welcome your comments. Please tell me how much i suck.
I have nothing but love and respect for all the real oldschool breakbeat producers. We all sampled your shit and most of us have no idea. Props to Twilight 22, T-La-Rock, Mantronics, DMX crue, Art of Noise, Newcleus, Kraftwerk, and everyone else whom we jacked beats from.
Peace,
Karlo
