Starting point is 00:00:01 Hit it. Time it is. It's time for the die. Castle a Jack. We back. We back. Night long. What's going on, everybody?
Starting point is 00:00:44 It's your boy DJ MC Jag. And what up, Steve? We got something new, man. We finally did it. We have officially arrived to the next level because we are the DJs that like to spin it. Mix it. Throw it back and dissect it. And videotape.
Starting point is 00:01:04 And video it. this point because it is all we you guys got to see this studio you guys this show up the studio real quick you want me to start right away with out the gate dude they got to see this dude look at this what we did i mean they're looking at it right now the only people are going to be able to see this is through my phone but i do no what you're going to put this together i do i do want to just like capture what it looks like from my vantage point now granted with this ladies and gentlemen we are just starting there's cords and stuff all over we're going to figure all this out to get it nice and tuned in but for the most part i mean we got a full functioning video
Starting point is 00:01:35 podcast studio happening at this point. This is months and, dare I say, years in the making of us planning on how we can take this podcast, turn it into a visual medium, and go next level with it. Because we spoke a couple months ago about how it was the last episode in the castle tower and we were moving to the castle fortress, which we've arrived at here. And the entire plan was we were going to set up a studio in my new place and turn it into this so that we can have video podcasts available so you can finally see what we're doing the whole time we're jamming the songs and we're talking about bullshit because it's a lot
Starting point is 00:02:17 more fun that way I'm going to tell you you're going to have a lot more reason to get invested now with the dissect DJs I got to get used to these camera views man we got so many like I should be like we could focus on this one and then I could push it over there and then you got your camera then we got the double and then like we could pull out of our this is amazing I just can I just tell you I'm proud of us. I'm proud too. I'm still hiding my face behind my thing. Look at this.
Starting point is 00:02:38 I'm looking at the camera. Like, look at how bad. I'll get better at this, ladies and gentlemen. I swear, I'm going to look at the camera more. Focus. I realize the entire first segment that I just went off on that. I didn't even know where to look. Right.
Starting point is 00:02:50 Because it's never, it's never been something I've had to think about. What's a, a boy, it's a boy, Cattle. It's a boy JAG. Yeah. We're about to die six. I'm goodness. I can pass the video to you and you're literally like,
Starting point is 00:03:01 the end of the video is going to edit. It's going to be a learning process, y'all. Bear with us, but it will be entertaining that much, I promise you. And don't forget that Casso is a master editor of, like, all things. And we are putting me to the test with this. With us, so you can fuck up. And what is this, dude? Only people in Brazil that love us in, and what is it, Congo, or somewhere else.
Starting point is 00:03:22 There's many different places. Ajar Bajan. Yeah, there's some random places that follow us. So thank you guys. That fuck with the dissecting. And I hope you guys enjoy looking at us because, hey. Here we are. If you've only listened to us to this point, and you've always wondered what it looks like while your DJs are dissecting, here we are.
Starting point is 00:03:39 So, we're going to be live up on YouTube at Rye Castle. That's my YouTube account. I'm going to be putting a podcast up over there. And we'll be cutting up some socials for you now. We have a lot more to work with in the past. I've always had to take the audio and try to find all these different ways to make it interesting while you just listen to our voice. It'd be a lot easier to work with now. So I'm excited for that part.
Starting point is 00:04:01 More work on my end, but more entertainment for you. So I'm excited to do it for you. And then we, of course, had to start with one of the famous DJ. I don't know if you guys remember, but our first episode. Our first episode was, Hey, Mr. DJ. And so we were like, you know what? What are we going to start with with our first video? And Castle had to call out this one.
Starting point is 00:04:19 And this is one of our favorites from when I met him. And we get our dance onto this. Classic DJ song. So the story is when we first began the Dysect Dijs, we were back and forth between two songs. as to which make our first episode. It was the Hey Mr. DJ by Jean-Ain, which is the one we ended up going with.
Starting point is 00:04:40 And the other option was the world famous Supreme Team, Hey DJ, which is what you bring in right now. So we figured since we're starting a whole new medium and we're bringing it to a visual platform, we may as well just restart our podcast with the OG idea. And that is, hey DJ, let's play that song. which was a jam that was created back in 1984 by the world's famous Supreme team which I told him I don't know how famous they were they can't self-proclaim world
Starting point is 00:05:10 famousness that's true but they did it and uh maybe they were famous they know I was born if you were around yeah I was either in my dad's balls at the beginning of this year or pull he popped out of the into the earth by October of this year so I was I was not really aware it was actually released on January 1st 1984 Oh, yeah, I was definitely in my dad's ball still. Soon to come out, though. I was definitely like two weeks away from like, let's get in there. Starting to kick.
Starting point is 00:05:37 Yeah, yeah, I was ready. I was swimming. No, so they come from New York, which you could tell when you see the group. You know, they had that classic New York hip-hop look. They got the Adidas and they got the old school arcade. This video is iconic. And that's another thing that's going to be fun about this entire process is we're going to be able to miss the video with ourselves talking about it and kind of like bring you the whole gamut as we go through it.
Starting point is 00:06:02 And with that out the gate, he hits it with hit it. And then a fantastic beat. Would you agree? That beat is just super smooth. You got a groove to it. If you're not moving to it, I don't know. You're definitely not friends of ours if you're not grooving to that. And then goes, huh?
Starting point is 00:06:17 And then we would like to dedicate. You're really going to go over all the lyrics, huh? We would like to dedicate this record to all the DJs in the entire world and all the ladies sing along. But before we get into that, you know what I hate? Let us not gloss over that. What? All the DJs in the world?
Starting point is 00:06:30 He dedicated this to all the DJ's entire world, including... And that's what I was like going to get into. Them that dissect the best of me. The dissect DJs. As I thought about that, I had to think, for some reason, you know my brain and you've known, you've been, you know, you've been knowing me for... How long has it been now? What?
Starting point is 00:06:48 Damn near a half a lifetime. What was 2006? I feel like it was that. Yeah, and we're in 2003, so what is 17, 16? 23, actually. We're around there. 20 years later. Shit.
Starting point is 00:06:58 I don't know, do math for me. 18, 17, dude, we're 17. 17 years. So yeah, double R. I've known you half my life. And with that said, you know, I like to hate on things. I don't know why it is. Apparently that's a learned come to find after reading.
Starting point is 00:07:13 Oh, that's a negative on you. That means you have something wrong with you. Fuck that, okay? I like to hate on things because I like to point out things that make it are obviously wrong. And in this case, I have to say, one thing I can't stand about me, DJs and DJs in general are DJs that are always hating. You're describing you more than anybody. Isn't that ironic?
Starting point is 00:07:34 That's ironic, right? DJs, if there's one thing about my DJ industry, it's, oh, you're using that equipment? Oh, you mix that into that song, they transition, you don't even use your cross fader? Oh, DJs hate more than any, like, nobody, people in the crowd won't even know. They're having a great time. If there's a DJ in a crowd, he's hating. There's something about this, my career and thing. that is not only wasn't in my personality,
Starting point is 00:08:00 but the job in general is loaded, flooded with other people that hate on other DJs. And that's been one of my biggest flaws at growing as a DJ is like, man, if I do that wrong, people are going to hate. I don't give a fuck anymore. Dude, I DJ how I made a career out of it over 18 years now. The only time you've known me. And so how I DJ is how I DJ. And clearly people are happy with it. So, but that's one thing I got to say.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I had to speak that out the gate because all the DJs in the world, stop fucking hating. I hate y'all. Are you going to follow your own advice? I just hated on other DJs hating. I don't know if I guess. I'm literally like. I've never known anybody that actually has a harder time getting past the DJ that kind of sucks at a club than you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:45 Because I can ignore it. If it's a good DJ, if it's a good DJ, I do not. You appreciate it. And I jump in, we dance our ass off. But like if the DJ is playing music, that is good. I can surpass like bad mixing. But you as I've been around. round for many years just cannot deal with it.
Starting point is 00:09:00 He has to be like, he hears these mixes and he's just like, oh, once he knows the DJ's not mixing it well and he's just throwing shit in there. He just throws it in there. It just needs to hit the same BPM and flow correctly and at least, you know, there's no train wreck. I cannot, if I hear a train wreck from a DJ that's literally being like paid to be out there, you've got to go learn just a simple mixing, man. It's not that hard to get the basics. And that's all I asked for.
Starting point is 00:09:24 So, yeah. So that's me, man. So anyways, that's the. first part and then the ladies come in and do a fantastic dance that uh pretty sure castle uh edited us doing a dance with them i mean we just yeah that's good one this video in general just screams this video is iconic because not only do you have the world famous supreme team being like classic 80s rappers with their whole new york early upbringing hip-hop look but then we go to this arcade with all these ladies who are all wearing like different classic 80s vibe get-ups.
Starting point is 00:10:03 Pristine 80s get-ups, man. All bright different colored like hoodies with a little short shirt. Something in their hair, big hair, like everything. The hat that like what's the guy's name, rerun? You know, she's got the rerun hat right there. It's like flat on the top. It almost looks like a little short baker hat. That's like orange?
Starting point is 00:10:20 No, I think he's from Fat Albert. Oh, Martin. The guy from Martin, they used to wear a bunch of brand name. Anyways. Tall dude, that was like his neighbor. He always was bald. He came in with every single possible hat ever. It was.
Starting point is 00:10:32 Anyways. That was 90s. Random fact. So, I hated all my DJs. Castle, tell me something like, what do you? All right. So since you're hating on the DJ side of the experience, I will go ahead and comment on from the fan, the other side of the DJ booth, stuff that kind of drives me a little bit out there.
Starting point is 00:10:53 Okay? So DJs. I'm going to come with some things that maybe It bothers me when you Wait wait but here's the thing You actually called out DJs too You were supposed to come at it from a side That like what it sucks to be
Starting point is 00:11:04 From the DJ perspective And you instead just called out DJs So now it's just like we're piling on DJs Well that's just one of the thing But yeah pile on them We'll give them credit in a second Dude this is like the most We'll build them up
Starting point is 00:11:15 This is the most like hey DJ Like we love DJ's song And we're coming right out of the gauge Just like shit on DJs Get rid of the bad stuff first Let's like show them out And then we'll like be positive after Maybe
Starting point is 00:11:24 I'm going to start with this. I'm going to start with this. Okay. I'm going to point to my camera. DJs, I have hard respect your abilities to be able to get in there. Get sweaty. Get in the trenches. Hang out for an eight-hour thing.
Starting point is 00:11:39 Way too often people just think, you know what? Okay, let's start with this. Comment that I hate when people says, oh, everybody's a DJ. Everybody can be a DJ. People love to say that. People love to be like, you know what, it didn't be going to be a DJ these days. Oh, really? Here's what I want you to do.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Go play a club. Have a new song ready to go. That's going to keep people dancing. Switch it up to the proper BPM. Make it mixed tight. Okay? Don't just like change the speed, like just switch the slide over and we're into the next song.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's how I started DJ. Yeah, I think most DJs did. Okay. Actually have something, the combination of being able to come up with what is hot, What is a song that's going to work right now? What works with this speed? And I'll tell you why I have this appreciation for it
Starting point is 00:12:29 because my early DJ day training, I was trying to learn on straight up records, tables. Originals. Yeah, I never touched those, man. Yeah. And Gary, you know what just happened right now? A bunch of DJ hit it on me. Oh, I'm not a real DJ.
Starting point is 00:12:43 Fuck you. Fuck anybody that just said, fuck you to me and said I was a shitty DJ. I just want you guys to know. This is your first time coming into the Diasic Dijas experience? is what Justin's going to do. Oh, yeah. He's going to hate on some things,
Starting point is 00:12:56 and he's going to tell people how fuck. DJs that try to hate on me for being a DJ the way I DJ. Even if it's something that he just completely fabricated in his mind. He heard it. That's right. Yeah, it was there and it spoke it loudly. I find myself still looking at randomly off to places I shouldn't look.
Starting point is 00:13:11 Should I be staring at the? I don't think you need to, like, stare down the lens. I'm like looking for it. I look at it when I keep, like, having a point where I'm like, DJs. I want to give you a shout out. experience. I love it. We're going to get good at this, but right now I definitely feel like this is my first time.
Starting point is 00:13:28 Oh, yeah. I'm definitely going to have to like look back at the tape and be like, all right, don't do that anymore. You're doing a lot of that. Whatever that is. Yeah. Don't look that. Why do you keep looking over there the whole time? It's not your angle. It's not a good angle of castle.
Starting point is 00:13:40 You're hiding your face behind the mic. I feel like you might be doing that. Oh, I actually probably am. Yeah, yeah. That's what I'm noticing over here just from seeing. Oh, okay. So this is how we learned. Thanks for calling out.
Starting point is 00:13:47 I'm kind of hiding already too. I just did it myself. Shit. While telling you to stop hiding yourself, I'm literally hiding myself as I look at the camera, dude. Yeah, yeah. I actually think I've been doing that the whole time. But in which case, if I got to talk into the mic,
Starting point is 00:13:58 I have to kind of look this way. That's why I have it pointing you sideways, so you should be able to do it like this. See, I'm doing it, kind of. Did I need to move to the microphone? If I need to go loud, I guess I turned. Oh, you just got louder. Yeah, if you turn at the mic, of course it's going to.
Starting point is 00:14:10 I know. So I'm trying to figure out a combination of how I can kind of stay off to the side, but I'm still talking into it. So I just kind of got to look in this direction. I think. I also think you just talk loud enough. It'll catch. You got to keep it consistent.
Starting point is 00:14:23 Don't do too many of these. Microphones are good. All right. Thank you. But thank you. But thank you for the compliment. It is not just to play music and switch from songs. It is a lot more into it.
Starting point is 00:14:32 I did not finish my story. So I learned off of way back in 2004. I bought a DJ turntables from a guy who worked with at Albertsons. And I was determined to learn. Got a bunch of records. My big bro and fraternity. He was a DJ who also worked with records, and he also just passed away this past year. Rest and peace.
Starting point is 00:14:56 Definitely. DJ Sandoval. He taught me how to mix and how to listen to it, and here's the thing about anybody working with the decks, is you have to hear the song, figure out what BPM it is. Nowadays, it just tells you on the screen. You can organize your library by that, but you had to figure out what it was, figure out another song that would work, that would vibe with the crowd, that was around the same BPM.
Starting point is 00:15:18 dig through the crates, find it, put it in there, and this is the part I actually struggle with the most, get that needle right where it needs to go. Get it in the perfect spot, and then just slide it right in there so you get at the right speed, and if you didn't, you had to slow it down or start again and, like, go over it. It was a whole process until you finally maybe got it, and then it was like, there, there we go, I mixed it. Guess what? You got to do the whole thing again, and then you got to throw all, come up with the next one,
Starting point is 00:15:48 Dig through the crates again. Yeah, it was a whole thing. So anybody that has learned and mastered the ability to work with straight up real decks, records. Real records, not a deck the computer and it passes of the thing. Yo, that is just like... Put a deck. I give you credit, man. That is, like, learning.
Starting point is 00:16:02 What I learned from trying to figure it out myself is that is basically learning an instrument. It's the same, I think, as like trying to pick up a guitar, try and learn how to play the drums. How about the clarinet? You know? You got to learn notes. Trumbone. You got to be able to figure out to have the ear of it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:16:16 No, trombone's easy as fuck. I don't respect that. I'm just kidding. I just try to match your hatred. Harmonica. Trumpets. I love y'all too. I just, you know.
Starting point is 00:16:24 No, man. Trumbones. Every trombone player is too. Fuck you right now. That's what they did. Wait, you say trombone or trombone? Any trombone players. Brass instruments.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Y'all got work. Okay? I respect y'all too. Anybody that has learned an instrument. Of DJ and even the deeper DJN of true turntable DJN, I give them credit as well because I never did learn that, never going to learn that. It's not ever going to be part of my repertoire.
Starting point is 00:16:47 and I don't need to. But if you know how to do that, it seems like the world-famous DJs are doing that in this record, which we should probably give that. Which to me, I got one thing to say. Hit him. Hey, DJ. I know, think DJs, cable, TV, and radio station personalities
Starting point is 00:17:03 for the new tunes we hear today playing clear across the nation. And thank you for country, western funk, jazz, and death slow records of the past. You see, we're living in a time of rock and roll, Hip-hop new wave in Classica Come on everybody Turn you down Up and down
Starting point is 00:17:22 Down and up by yourself Then sit back Get your face out of the two Ha ha And let it make you Oh Roll Dance you have to
Starting point is 00:17:33 Don't go Shoot Just this Strats to beat world Excuse me while I pay Oh They're sitting Wait wait
Starting point is 00:17:53 Wait wait Wait, wait, wait, wait. We got to come back. Bad fade. We got into dancing. This new thing is new to us. I mean, you're actually, I'm blowing it. You've always been jumping up and dancing the way he just did.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Yeah, but I usually get back to the song before it hits. Although I thought he was going to do. They were going to go a little longer. I know. We thought it was going to get a little longer. Well, it was also the breakdown dance moves that were, they got the little leg. Fire.
Starting point is 00:18:18 Hey, I like their. And all the outfits. You called it out earlier. The outfits are fantastic. The leggings? What about the leggings, ladies? I like that look Yeah, bring leggings back
Starting point is 00:18:26 Yeah Are those like Leg warmers? They seem hot It's only problem They look very hot And I don't mean like Yeah
Starting point is 00:18:33 Like their body temperature Is like up there Very yeah So All right well So real quick What are you getting into? Well
Starting point is 00:18:41 I feel like at a certain point We should actually break down Like some of the lyrics Because that's what We did the first time We actually didn't break down In the lyrics You started to
Starting point is 00:18:49 We did the first one We would like to dedicate this record And then we stopped And then we'd not get after it And all the ladies sing along. And then, yeah, it's basically just keep me dancing. Dancing all night, all night. Which is what the DJ's supposed to do.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Yeah, yeah. So that makes sense. But catchy, catchy as hell. I'll give you that. And then we get into the verse. Go ahead. And then he says, now thanks DJ's MC's cable TV and radio station personalities,
Starting point is 00:19:11 which immediately dates the song magnificently to the 1984 Tradskip. And I love that because that was how we all had to, I say that like I was there. It was yet to be boring. But that was how people took in their music and their, I don't know, radio personalities. How would they do it? Like, what else would you need to add to it now? He'd be like, podcasters and YouTube streams.
Starting point is 00:19:33 Yeah. YouTube influencers. Yeah, yeah. Something like that. Whatever it was, it would sound less cool. Less cool than it did then, which was like that. This was cutting edge at the time for all the things that he just called out. For the new tunes we hear today, playing clear across the nation.
Starting point is 00:19:49 And thank you for country western. jazz and them slow records of the past you see we're living in a time of rock and roll hip hop new wave and classical ha calling out all the the different music genres that are you know singing up the world at that point come on everybody turn your die up and down down up find your sound then sit back get your face out the tube oh so I didn't even realize it until I just read the lyrics Get Your Face Out the Tube is referring to like, hey, stop watching TV, okay? Get your ass up and get out there. Go join a dance party in the streets.
Starting point is 00:20:30 It's 1984 in New York. I'm sure it's happening. I bet you there's a block party as soon as you turn your corner. And what's crazy about that is people only got more attached to the tube at this point. They're like everybody's locked in the screen to this thing. I feel like now it's more your phone screen than it is the tube. You know, that's transition. It's anybody with a screen.
Starting point is 00:20:47 I basically say, get your face out the screen. If you change it to that, it's computers like we do. It's TVs, it's phones, it's iPads, it's everything. People do not go outside anymore. It's trippy. My neighborhood, when I grew up and I've been there for a while, a bunch of kids all over the place. There's not a single kid out there anymore, dude.
Starting point is 00:21:10 It's almost like depressing. They don't like. Nobody. There's not a single kid that plays. None. There's no kids that, no biking. No, but it's a crazy way. bottle caps, no dominoes.
Starting point is 00:21:22 Nothing, man, it's crazy. Oh, that's your head Justin's family tournament, then there's plenty of dominoes. Oh, yeah. Much I lost this year, man. Did you get a second-place trophy? No, I didn't even get to the championship. Did somebody get a second-place trophy?
Starting point is 00:21:33 Yeah, my girlfriend won. She doesn't even play dominoes. I don't even know how that happened, man. It's like... Kind of makes me question the difficulty of the entire sport. It's, I doubt myself now. It feels like a sport of complete luck. I don't even know how to play it,
Starting point is 00:21:43 but I feel like you just throw stuff against the wall and then, like, hope that the numbers... Not true. Not true. all the domino players hate you right now. All the Dominole players said, fuck, Castle doesn't know how to play Domino's.
Starting point is 00:21:51 You don't know what the fuck you're talking about it. I know, because I just heard all the Domino's players say that to me because it's pretty much just you. Shout out to my little sister, if you're listening too, because you hate it on me and my friend here,
Starting point is 00:22:04 which I'm not even going to say how what you said, but quite disrespectful. We never actually brought you up in my show before, but you know what I got to say to you, little sis? Never mind, I ain't going to do it. I almost did it.
Starting point is 00:22:15 You're going to ask me to cut that out, so you should. No, no, keep that. That's why I stopped, because I almost said it, but I didn't. I love you. Whatever. Let's keep it rolling. Justin's white friend loves you too.
Starting point is 00:22:25 Yeah, Justin's white friend and my friend. Exactly. Weirdo. All right, let's keep it going. Move, groove, dance you out, your dogging shoes. Move, groove, dance you about your dog on shoes. Justice, yeah, stretch the beat. Well, excuse while we dance.
Starting point is 00:22:44 All right. So what is something. that you hate about the DJing process from the behind the booth from the people that like come up to it what is something that people can say to you that you get that you would like to issue out there right now like hey when you see a DJ sure sure don't do this yeah I'm a few I'm one of the few DJs I enjoy requests yeah I don't mind them at all I don't mind them and I love them even more if you throw a dollar or five dollars just to be like yo throw a song on for me I got to you I love you play the song you know what I am going to mix that song for you no problem I don't necessarily need the tip to play your song
Starting point is 00:23:16 but it helps, right? It's a little more incentive to find a way to mix the song that this person wants to hear that's in my establishment. Love that. You know what I cannot stand and I know most of the DJs
Starting point is 00:23:25 can agree with this. Don't you dare disrespectfully put the fucking name of the song and artists like Bad Bunny or some shit on your phone and put it over your fucking head. I swear to you, next time somebody does that
Starting point is 00:23:37 I'm throwing a drink. I won't because I'll get in trouble and then I lose my set and then the whole thing goes to shit. But seriously, guys, it's so disrespectful. Put your phone down And like I said, bring a $5 bill and say, could you play some bad money?
Starting point is 00:23:50 And I'd be like, you know what? I will fit some bad money in it for you. No problem. Or don't even bring money. Just don't put your damn phone up. So I can't stand that. That's one something I have to. Yeah, I hate that shit, Castle.
Starting point is 00:23:59 I understand why the concept that that would be a way to get your attention would be in somebody's mind. Because it's like, oh, should I actually try to yell out that? It's not going to be able to stand it. Let me actually write it down. And then the way people write stuff down these days of the phone. But I also understand how what you need to do is give. DJs the opportunity to either hear you or not hear you and decide that at their own peril. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:24:24 So it's like they heard the request. Maybe they're going to give it to you. They give you a little head nod, like, yeah, yeah, sure. And you'll see if they actually decide to play that, you know? If you're actually like, and then I know this one too is annoying as hell when they actually keep coming back. Whether or not they did the phone thing or just yelled it and they come back within like the next like three minutes while that last song is still playing that's that is it right there
Starting point is 00:24:51 man that is it and it happens way too often to say you request the song the song that you requested is currently playing and the exact same person is asking for another song while their song is playing i'm gonna give them i'm gonna give this person it's time to it's fuck you okay i swear don't you dare do go listen to your song i'm playing for you shut up Oh my God. Or I know another one that drives you crazy because I've been there with this and happen. Yeah, yeah. Do some of these.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Take a lap. I mean, there's not a lot of space in the studio. I get you in my neck. You know how I get you like the back in the neck? No, no, no, no, this one. When they give you, they give you a song and then you're like, all right, yeah, I can play that song. Sure, I'll play Champagne Supernova. Sure, that's a little out of date.
Starting point is 00:25:46 I can fuck with that. I think it might kill the dance. But this guy's asked me four times. Let's play it. You play it. And then you get like to the next song. Same dude comes back up to you. Bro.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Play champagne supernova. And you're like, Oh, yeah, that one's bad too. That one's bad too. Did you not just hear? I just did the whole. That one's almost understandable only because he may not have been in the room. Like he requested it.
Starting point is 00:26:09 They went outside, smoke, went somewhere. And then he came back and like, are you going to play it? With not knowing that he was gone for posted like 25 minutes. And I played it in between that set and didn't know he wasn't there. That was a little more understandable. Well, I always remember one time when we were at back alley, you know, our old favorite Fullerton watering hole. And I had a friend of mine that I was working with at the time way back in the day.
Starting point is 00:26:31 And it was when my house was a new song. And he was all drunk. And he kept going, hey, play my house. My house. And then you were like, all right. And then you played my house. Listen the whole song. And you mix out of it.
Starting point is 00:26:42 It comes back three minutes later. And he's like, hey, play my house. And you were like, what? I just said the whole thing I think I had to mix with that too and you were like you didn't even hear how I mixed into it out of the, oh, you're dead to me, you're dead to me. You're done.
Starting point is 00:26:57 I think I remember because I killed the baby. I was like, oh, I forget what I played with it but it was a show. I remember you tried to be like, you didn't even hear how I mix into it after the whole? Oh man, oh, you're dead to me. You're done. Wire away from this booth.
Starting point is 00:27:09 I don't want to see you for the next 30 minutes. That's true, man. Minimum. Everything you said. Yeah, that stuff would definitely. But then I, you know what? If a girl was singing to me though and saying, Hey DJ, keep play that song, we be dancing?
Starting point is 00:27:20 I would be like, absolutely. Hey, DJ, just way that song keeps me dancing. DJ, I must confess, you're quicker than sugary. And when you mix with your arms, your head, your mouth, knees, and feet, boy, you're smoother than Dr. Jay. You didn't come to the party in a limozy, yet your cuts are fresh and your rap so mean. Take your two turn tables and a microphone. You're kept on.
Starting point is 00:27:46 Keep them dancing all night My goodness The dancer that's happening Did you see that? Oh man 1984 is in the effect right now, man I want to be at that party This is a great dance party right now
Starting point is 00:28:10 And I love the graffiti The graffiti on the wall Is just a classic early 80s You know New York City Hip Hop Days trope That I can always fuck with You could throw that anywhere At any party and it works for me
Starting point is 00:28:22 but especially the dance moves they're doing. They usually see that like group worm, that move right there where there's like somebody with a feet and they all do like the worm, you know the worm's my move. So I appreciate it. They did a quadruple worm. The quadruple worm where they all just did it perfectly.
Starting point is 00:28:36 And like, oh man, that's classic. Oh, man. No, yep. The 80s effects of this video are awesome too. When the girl just points to dance in, dancing, and the whole like screen, like it's literally a drawing of the word dancing like behind her.
Starting point is 00:28:50 And then 80s effects. I love my 80s transitions too. If it's a video from 1984, I love that. The video literally started with a star wipe. That is 80s rock and roll right there. You know what else? I got to say, you know what I hate, though, about DJing? Is the constant music that constantly comes out.
Starting point is 00:29:11 So, right, I have to know all the music from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, all that music. It has to be logged in my head, BPMs, who's saying what artists and stuff like that. And then what happens is next year, a whole other fucking. plethora of music comes out and I got another best ones of that and try to get to know that and then the next year guess what happens another fucking year our music comes out and it's just a constant thing where you got to constantly educate yourself on new music and I wish it would just stop and I'll be honest with you I have my music you wish all the last would just stop I just wish you know yeah but I'll be honest with
Starting point is 00:29:39 you I stopped educating myself over the last like five years deeply and it's if it's not top 10 I don't know it and yeah that's just how I've kind of got it's been successful for me so far as a DJ one of the things you hate the most is staying on top of music and knowing what's hot and what people want to hear. Hate that shit because there's already good music. Let's just play the classics.
Starting point is 00:29:59 You know, like hey DJ. Like let me play this one, but no, everyone wants to hear the new version of this exact song that was remade slightly and has a new artist called Soidi or some shit. It's happened a lot actually. I've heard this song remixed a few times. There was one in like the mid-90s actually
Starting point is 00:30:13 that I really loved. I must want to play it right now. I kind of called that out without I know, I forgot about it until this moment. And you're plugged in if you just plugged that in. You wanted to... I forgot who made it now. All right, well, blew that out.
Starting point is 00:30:26 All right, I'm going to search for it while we're playing it. Well, we keep listening to it. Come on. Get a DJ. Hey, DJ. Just play that song. Keeps me dancing. All night.
Starting point is 00:30:36 All night. What must you do to be a DJ? Well, girl, you gotta make them. Ouch your doggo. And world, get together and sing. End on that 80s. Star wipe graphic. Look, it ends and it starts on a star wipe. That's the beginning of it again.
Starting point is 00:31:57 That's what I said. It just went right back to the beginning. It ends and it starts on a star wipe, which is just 80s flavor to the tea. I love the 80s vibe of this video. It is so classic. If you have not watched the video, do yourself a favor and watch it. Or watch this episode, if you're listening to it because we were playing it the whole time. It's absolutely worth listening to. I've found the 90s version of it, though. Oh, let's see the volumes check. Go ahead. Hit it. This one's called by End. Tice.
Starting point is 00:32:23 Hey, DJ. I was in no way what I thought it was. Should I have kept playing it? I mean, I liked it so far, but play now. I want to hear that when you were doing. I thought that was it. But you were right, dude.
Starting point is 00:32:38 This song's been fucking... Oh, it's been done a bunch. I'll go back to it for a second. I'll give it five more seconds this time. All right, I heard enough. I heard enough of that one. This rap sucks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:33:10 No, there's a different version that I actually used to listen to all the time. It was a little bit faster. Then we got Marky Mark. Hey DJ Is that the one? No, this is definitely not But I'm just curious what it is
Starting point is 00:33:20 This is This is Marky Mark, I'm intrigued Young Marky Mark You go man In the king's chair All right we get the idea So you can't find the one you want to know I mean
Starting point is 00:34:20 All these are just extra stuff Well these are all playing true to the fact That you what you said This song is being read What a fine that was though What a gem to just like mull over on Both of those were Marky Mark, a lot of people don't want to give Mark Wahlberg credit for his 90s rap career or the fact that he came from that.
Starting point is 00:34:37 I feel like people like to speak it as like some sort of embarrassing past. But like give the, that's how he made it in the first place. The acting career, while maybe ended up being a better version of his career and showed more talent than people knew he had, might not have even got that opportunity if he didn't come out with the funky bunch and good vibrations and that song. he was crushing that and you don't understand. From 1993, rap perspectives, like he was getting it, man.
Starting point is 00:35:04 That kind of actually reminded me of like, the music video at least reminded me of like his bogey nights music video a little bit. Just because like when Marky Mark is doing it, when Mark Wahlberg is like doing his music thing, he's so passionate and he's so into it. And he was in the Kings chair and that, I'll tell you this,
Starting point is 00:35:22 when I was, what, seven, eight years old in 1993, I would have seen that video and I'd be like, I want to be that guy. That's what I want to be. I want to be in the king's chair, just in a dope rap video and just, you was living my dream right there. Lighter shade of brown,
Starting point is 00:35:36 was that it? It might be. It might actually be them. We'll play that one, dude. Right, fuck. I don't remember who did it. So I'm in a fucking awkward position here. Wait a minute.
Starting point is 00:35:49 Just a couple things. Okay, one, for example, this just happened to me of my family. Hey, we're having a party. Can you DJ or should we hire a DJ? Yeah, I mean, I'm not. not going to DJ. It's in my family. I'm going to be hanging out. So yeah, if you're going to get a DJ, might want to get a DJ. What do you think I'm going to do? Oh, so we should we should hire
Starting point is 00:36:09 when then and pay? Yeah. I'm not DJing with my family. That's one of another pet peeve of my party. Dejing a family party because I want to hang out with my family. I rarely see them already as it is and I see it as a job. So once I'm behind the booth, I'm locked into the music and try to figure out the vibe of the night and I don't get to hang out in my family. I'm just watching everybody go by. So no. you Jody. I'm not going to DJ the party in a couple weeks, so leave me alone. How many family members is Justin going to call out on this podcast? They're all going to call out. Well, they don't listen.
Starting point is 00:36:38 It's a good thing that nobody listens to our podcast. It's not a single one. Or maybe my sister, older sister. Hey, younger sister definitely doesn't, or she might. Justin's fam. Prove us wrong. They don't find them wrong. They don't listen to this shit. Hit him up right after this episode and be like, yo, I heard you call another fan. What's good, though? What's good? I was well, Frank.
Starting point is 00:36:55 That's one thing I've come to notice with this. And just in general in business, It's very hard for people to support and, like, follow and, like, listen and, you know, give credit. Oh, yeah. It's like, you never hear it. Like, nobody ever says every once in a while you're here, but, oh, yeah, I listen to the episode. Like, how many people have, as far as family or friends of ours have shared our episodes? Like three, right? Jayway got a couple on there.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Yeah, but how hard is it for someone would be like, you guys, you listen to my friends up? Mary's done it, Quad City, she's done it. DJ and her wedding in a couple weeks. The castle is going to it, so it should be a fun one. We're going to have a good old time of Mary's Way. But yeah, it's very hard. So, you know, thanks guys. So that's another thing I hate as a DJ.
Starting point is 00:37:39 The lack of support that happens because, you know, but I get it. It's hard to get actual. It's hard to get real support from people. But that just means that when somebody actually does something to actually throw something out there that represents you, you got to appreciate that in much more. And put it out. And then one other thing I hate is producers calling themselves DJs. Because producing is one thing.
Starting point is 00:37:58 I don't produce, and I give credit to producers who are being able to create their own song from scratch and make an entire three-minute song. They get the money, much more money than actual DJs because you're making the song, you're making the music. But if you can't transition the music and actually play live for any events, whether it be party, pull party, bar mitzvah, wedding,
Starting point is 00:38:18 and all that different stuff, then you're not actual DJ's dynamic and able to hit up every single possible event that's thrown at them and figure it out. You're a producer. Do not car yourself a DJ, baby getta. All right.
Starting point is 00:38:29 You're not a DJ. Get off the booth. Stop it. You're not actually DJing. All he does is press play on his songs. I hate that. Him and Calvin make millions. But they get,
Starting point is 00:38:39 they DJ parties in Vegas, and it's like they're just pressing play on their own music. And when you listen to the transitions that happen, shit. Calvin makes his own music, though. They both do. They both make their own music.
Starting point is 00:38:49 It's just they try to DJ. They're like, they're their headliners at parties and stuff in Vegas. But they're not actually DJ. They're literally supposed to play on their song as they produced. I saw David Getta in Vegas a couple years ago, and it was actually fun fact.
Starting point is 00:39:04 It was the first party back after the pandemic. Okay. It was that what was it good? Yeah, but we were all just so stoked to be out there and have music and like live again. And like he was so excited to perform that everybody was just so ecstatic to be back to something that felt normal. It was like at Encore Beach, I believe. And he announced it. He's like, this is the first performance since like the pandemic ended it was what memorial day weekend that's one in may right oh yeah no that was a good time just the uh man i was out in about way before that shit so well i didn't go to florida so that was my first experience i had a karaoke gig mid-cov since pandemic and my boss was like we need to make money so we had we had indoor karaoke
Starting point is 00:39:49 i'm going to take a break from justin hating on dj's uh in his attempt to try to support them by after complaining about how it sucks when you don't get supported to put the version of this song, the remix that I recall, kind of actually being the first thing that I remember about this song in the first place and the melody. It's by a lawyer, Shreda Brown, whoever we have covered on the Dysak DJs. Actually, classic group, I like them.
Starting point is 00:40:16 They are, yeah, yeah. I'm excited to hear this. Go ahead. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Called Hey, DJ. Definitely. Walking down a sweet witch I got a blast of bumping
Starting point is 00:41:00 And thump the bright beats Always urge to rap something Returns the favor I'm getting back to all the DJ That played the old funk You know what we played And as the empty left The freestyle funk flow
Starting point is 00:41:15 Every once in a while They make the ground screen Jumping around Wouldn't think that they did Steady bobbing ahead While the girls that said Oh wait that part's good No I got it too much
Starting point is 00:41:44 We got it. We are 45 minutes into this, Gapel You're gonna have a chuff high interview You're right I got added all this, and I'm already pissing myself about it. Yeah, it would be hard. All right.
Starting point is 00:41:55 Point is, that was the 90s version of the World Famous Supreme Team, and I love that because that had a 90s sound. It sounded just like the regular song. All they did was pit bulleted it. Oh, shut up. They pit bulled it, dude. They pit bulled. Well, then they added rap, obviously.
Starting point is 00:42:10 Yeah, they made it a clean rap. That was like a real slow 80s basic rap that was talking about the elements of what early hip hop was, and I respect them for it. hip hop it evolved by what 1994 when the song was released and they made it a very 1994 track and don't you dare slander
Starting point is 00:42:27 a lighter shade of brown I'm with lighter shade all the time all right well with all that said we need to actually bring this down all the way to our because we've reached the end we reached the end a while ago and we've done all the different versions of it
Starting point is 00:42:40 now it's time to get the slaps and snaps before that I have one more thing I have to just add I know we're going over time but we were talking about complaints we have about DJs And also, I gave, at least Justin was supposed to come up from the DJ's perspective. He mostly hated on DJs as he did it. Kind of missed the.
Starting point is 00:42:58 I didn't listen to him. Miss the assignment on that one. But I can't let that whole concept go without just pointing out. DJs that over talking the mic. I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it, man. Especially when they stop the music to do it.
Starting point is 00:43:12 Oh, yeah, yeah. There's also talk over that's on the thing that cuts the music the moment anything said on the and I think they use that a lot, but still. Understand that a good majority, especially if it's a big club and a lot of people, a good majority of the people cannot actually hear a damn word you're saying. Understand that. So, like, if you're trying to, like, make sentences, make sense, give points across, all this sounds like to these people is, here, let's go ahead and do an example.
Starting point is 00:43:45 What's up? What's up? I got up by my shit. All the video and I'm saying it up. What are you doing that? What are you at? Hey, I got it.
Starting point is 00:44:02 I got it. That's good. I see what you see. Hey. Yeah. All right, man. I'll give you that. All right.
Starting point is 00:44:12 Snaps and snaps. Stop doing that. D.J. Snaps and slaps of the original. Out of five for those who are just joining us, I like this is given opportunity to reintroduce those who maybe joined our podcast. late and never have understood the slaps and snaps system. This is as good a time as ever to re-explain it. Every song, me and Jack over here, we give a five-slap system with the snaps sort of
Starting point is 00:44:39 operating as sort of a half-slap. So a five-slapper is the jam rocking, kill, drop in, bam it, busts it all day. I'm going to listen to this nine times tomorrow and probably 12 times on Sunday jam that you just can never get tired of. Five star, A plus, top notch. We play it anywhere. We love it. And that's what's been five clas. That's a five slapper.
Starting point is 00:45:02 You're going to hear horns. You're going to hear a celebration. You're going to see me dancing. That's what a five does. What else? Yeah. And well, you know. Everything in between all the way down there.
Starting point is 00:45:11 What's the lowest we've ever given? Have we given negatives? You've definitely given a zero before. I know zero, but have we given negative? I don't know how a negative five slaps would work. Can you make negative slap sounds? Yeah, I told you remember. I think I remember telling you got a slap and then reverse it,
Starting point is 00:45:22 but I think it still sounds like a slap so it didn't work out. We did some sort of reverse slap at one point. I don't know. We have over 100 episodes at this point. Dig deep into our archives. This is just our first video, but we have done a bunch on... Yeah, it was only about time that we actually got to this point. So, out of five slaps and or snaps,
Starting point is 00:45:40 how many you give in the world famous Supreme Team? Hey, DJ. Hey, DJ, come on play that song. Whoa, was that five? No. Oh, I was about to get excited. I almost got excited. It was three, two snaps, a hey,
Starting point is 00:46:01 DJ and then a class and then a fourth slap. Yeah. Four slap. Because it is. It's classic. Describes 80s. Groove to it. It describes my career and what I've done all my life.
Starting point is 00:46:11 And the dancing and the video and the clothes throughout this, I got that kind of gave it that extra slap because I didn't realize. I realized after watching it, this fucking video is on point too, man. Oh, it's the quadruple worm? Yeah, the quadruple worm brought home. And the graphics. I love the 80s graphics. It looks like they edited on the toaster, which is the quadruple.
Starting point is 00:46:31 editing software that I learned to edit on in my high school T-production class, which... Called Toaster? It was called The Toaster. And it was an editing software that definitely was supposed to be out of date by the least 1989. But it was awesome. It had all these crazy effects that you wouldn't see today. But I swear if I could find them now, they're so vintage, like cheesy 80s that I would actually love to get my hands on a toaster now.
Starting point is 00:46:53 Yeah. That's what it looks like they edit this, huh? It's classic. All right. Slaps and snaps. Go. Self-expuntiture. Four slaps and a boom, boom, boom, boom, boo-doo.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Which we didn't even... No snaps, huh? Let me have a second snap. Well, good. Yeah, this song is classic. I love this song. This song, I literally, the other day when I just thought of it that we should actually bring it back for this, I went on a run and I played it.
Starting point is 00:47:25 And you don't know when you play a song sometimes on Spotify, it'll just repeat the song after you didn't finish it. I swear to God, I listened to it five times in a run and it gets tired of it. It's just, the music is timeless, and that's why it's been recycled so many times. We didn't even mention the fact that we didn't even mention the fact that we one of Mariah Carey's most famous song sampled this with that whole sound, honey. It's a beat that still gets sampled to this day all the time. It's like, was this a sample?
Starting point is 00:47:51 Yeah. Honey? No, was the world DJ a sample? Like, oh, was it actually, did it use something else? Let me check. Oh, you're talking. Go ahead. I don't think so.
Starting point is 00:48:01 We're going to find out right now. You know how many times we've gotten this? I'm going to stake my claim on no. That's where my flag plants right now. That's the plant of the flag. Ryan stands on planet no on that one but hey prove me wrong I don't know people fucking use all kinds of shit to bring that stuff but no it's a it's a beat that goes on for the life of all music especially hip-hop and you're gonna not only hear it probably in a remix
Starting point is 00:48:27 next year you're gonna hear it the year after that I stake my claim on that too yeah I'm gonna give it another snap boom oh dang okay four slabs three snaps I just talked myself into it I don't even know why I didn't do five slaps. So apparently about damn time that we just recently did. I'm mulling it over. About damn time by Lizzo was actually, there was a sample of it in that as well, which I don't know. That was like three episodes ago.
Starting point is 00:48:52 Yeah, so that had it. I'd place this over that one. I don't know how to, I'm not seeing the samples for me. It seems like it's the first one. No, it's an OG. That's why I. Yeah, but everybody else sampled it. So.
Starting point is 00:49:06 Are you about to give it? because it's original. I feel it. Are you? We're on video. Why not introduce us with a five slapper? It's the Star Wipe. The Star Wipe is on the screen still, man.
Starting point is 00:49:21 The graphics, the 80s, it's the ability to actually make such a classic jam with like low budget. You know, they weren't working the crazy budget, you know, but they still got dope hip-hop dancers. They feel like 80s. This video feels like the 80s. So does the song.
Starting point is 00:49:38 It introduced hip-hop to America. It represents hip-hop New York, which was the birth-round of all of hip-hop. I just love it, man. I'll listen. I'll never get tired of the song. And to me, that is the true sign of a five-slapper. Sometimes when we do a song, we're like,
Starting point is 00:49:55 that's a really good song, and I fall just short of a five-slap. You know what it is? It's because, like, I'm not always down to hear it. And to me, that's what makes a five-slapper. You said that you listened to it at five different times. I was like, yeah, it's kind of a, it's kind of when I talk myself. into it. It's kind of a five-slapper. If you were able to listen to a five-time, you're right. You're right. Here we are. Yeah. Here we did. Five slaps on the first
Starting point is 00:50:14 re-episode of the Dysak DJs. Now coming to you in live 4K. What up! We didn't video on this. Yeah. I can get it in the camera's face like this. What do you know about it? Live from the fortress. We back, baby. Next!
