Lol...my 1st hiphop experience was just as bad, well not bad for the ppl, but for me. I had a friend give me two cd's with about 60 tracks in total mp3 format. I just used the quick fade technique and played with the effects on my DXM and the crowd loved it.

lol, oh yeah, i was rocking the FX the whole night especially the "zip" onboard the CDJ200s.

also i guy asked to "play something you can grind to" hmm....let's see, i usually put my grind stuff inbetween the deep house and minimal tech-house....

this and everything else you mentioned is exactly why i have no interest in ever playing for a hip-hop crowd...

edit: err, i forgot. i did play for them once. it was pretty much exactly like you said. it was back in high school. it was so stupid.

i dont meen to sound like a cockass, but if you call that putting up with 'bullshit' while playing top 40 and hip hop, then you sir are a lucky lucky son of a bitch and i envy you in never having the experience of playing to dumb ghetto wannabe ass mother******s who should be exterminated...




...seriously

Now you see over here we don't really get the "every party wants hip hop" thing... it's much worse than that

Most of the young people over here just want cheese. By cheese, I mean a sprinkling of cheesy pop that's in the charts at the moment, some of the big commercial dance tracks (that I can cope with), the odd big r'n'b or hip hop track, whatever indie tracks are big at the time and the bulk of it is filled out with 70s, 80s and 90s pop like the same Queen tracks you hear at every fucking cheese night (normally 'Don't Stop Me Now'), shite like 'Build Me Up Buttercup' by The Foundations, Chesney Hawkes, Brian Adams, S Club 7 (I don't even know if that was a 'phenomenon' which reached the States) and so on... we're talking about the majority of people aged between 16 and 25 here, it's sickening. It's literally all that 80% of university girls will listen to.

BAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAWHAW, I LOL'd... I did a shitty house party once and all I got was "yo man turn dat techno shit awff and throw down sum gangsta beats yo". seriously... who says yo twice in one sentence... douche bag

ive had some bad experiences from doing hip-hop parties because the people are so freaking rude and they freak out on your ass if you dont have or play the song they want.

the worst night was when i did some girls 17th b-day party at her house. Before i started she sent me a list of songs that her and her friends like and like i expected, all really hardcore rap and hip-hop...ugh. So i get to the party and the father of the daughter came up to me and was like "dude, i feel sorry for you." after some conversation, i figured out that the b-day girl advertised her party by posting flyers all over her high school as an open invitation. About 2 hours into the night, there were like 300 people packed into the backyard and all around the house and most of them were gangstas. I had to repeat walk it out and ballin like 20 times each which was annoying as hell. then i had people requesting rap from artists i have never heard of...then they proceed to flip out. so basically i got treated like dirt so towards the end i just start playing some tech-trance and house music and half of them left lol....that made me smile

but yeah, i feel for ya man
