WTF,I just don't get it

**Nzoner** · 02-18-2007, 01:52 PM

So I went out last night with 4 other guys ,all much younger than I,for our city's annual Mardi Gras party.We went to 4 different bars and at every single bar it was nothing but hip-hop,hip-hop-and more hip-hop.

Now granted I'm 44 and I saw more than a few people in my age range at each of the bars but what I don't get is wtf is up with these DJ's who play nothing but hip-hop?

I understand the bulk of your customers are into it but there are some of us who would like a little old school or even new rock thrown in from time to time.

Even when I requested a song,it's like,"I don't know man,I'll see if I can get to it."

As a former mobile DJ myself I always let my customers pick the music and although I didn't always agree with what they wanted to hear it wasn't my place not to play what a customer wanted.

I'll stop rambling now,it's just I really hate to think about quitting going out but this is getting really old and maybe therein lies my answer as I'm getting older too and it's either deal with the new or open my own rock-n-roll bar.

Didn't matter where you went... 99.9% of the crowd I saw probably wasn't even old enough to drink... BUT; they still got served...

1) Hip Hop brings out the ladies.

2) Ladies like to dance and play horny for the guys.

3) Guys come out because the ladies are out.

4) Guys buy more booze for themselves and the ladies, thinking they are going to get laid.

5) Bar makes more money selling more booze because drunk horny guy thinks he's going to get with dancing horny lady if he buys her one more drink.

6) Guys go home alone, but remember the bar where all the ladies were drunk and dancing.

7) Ladies go home drunk and alone, but happy, knowing that there is a bar that plays awesome dance music, and the guys are dumb enough to keep buying them drinks even though it won't get them anywhere.

I blame global warming.

It's Disco all over, except getting laid.....

Disco was Pre-AIDS when get laid occured regularly.....

Global warming is likely is a factor in this.

You can dance to anything when you're drunk.

I don't see DJ's playing any oldies at bars, especially these days.

It doesn't have to be old but a little rock n roll once in awhile would be music to my ears.

Yeah, I like a little bit of everything.

Hip hop has really taken over, it's pretty sad when all they talk about is bitches and hos, drugs, dubs, 40s, guns, look at the money I have, etc. In that sense, it's bad, but I just block that stuff out and listen to the beat. I like that. And it's not all bad, but most of it is. I'd rather listen to the edited version of rap music, than the real version, by the way. When I burn CDs, I burn the edited version of said rap songs because I hate every other word being vulgar, but that's just me.

THey do down here, but it's usually screwed up by making it into some sort of remix. I hate it when they play classic rock music, but put rap lyrics on top of it.
