EPISODE 242 "LETS TALK MUSIC: SALUTE THE DJs EDITION"

Well this year on K-100 Radio we will be going hard, more music, more talk, and sometimes a mixture of BOTH. On this episode we will be talking about one of my favorite subjects MUSIC. Mainly cause I can talk about this ALL DAY..but also because my home girl LADY SHACK from OVER DA TOP PROMO will be on the lines talking about her huge event THE SALUTE THE DJs AWARDS. The art of the DJ has been totally transformed over the past decade. It used to be that DJs were only the guy who kept the party crunk. But this has changed DRASTICALLY over the past few years. These days, not only are Djs looked to as A&Rs in some cases for discovering talent, they are also getting RECORD DEALS! (see DJ KAHLED) The art of scratching on 12 inch records have been replaced with Serato and Laptops. Djs are some of the most powerful people in the game, and some of the most PAID. So we will explore this transformation, discuss it, bump some music and see whats really going on with the SALUTE THE DJs AWARDS, going down in Atlanta, GA Jan 17 & 18. So tune in, call in, ESPECIALLY if you are a DJ...got a few questions for ya:

1) DO YOU THINK A DJ HAS TO BE ABLE TO SCRATCH TO BE CALLED A DJ?

2) DO YOU THINK MIXTAPES HOSTED BY DJ'S ARE BETTER THEN AN ARTIST ALBUM?

3) WHAT IS THE WORST THING A DJ CAN DO TO KILL HIS PARTY AND BUZZ?

4) GO DJ, THATS YOUR DJ! WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE DJ, LOCAL OR FAMOUS?
