Completely New to DJing. I'm from Long Island/Queens and go to school at the University of Delaware as a Pre-Vet Major. I live off campus at a shitty ass townhouse with 4 of my friends. I've always wanted to DJ, so I bought myself the IDJ3 Numark. Music has always been the most important thing in my life. Listening to my collection of about 7,000 hip hop/rap songs gets me through the day. I've always wanted to DJ at a house party and I'm hoping to get good enough to do that.

I can't stand what the radio has done to Rap. If you like the following "artists," then you've been brainwashed by crappy music too.
These are the artists that have/are ruining Hip Hop: -Lil Wayne (All his mix tapes, albums, appearances on songs, everything he's ever done blows. He has no lyrics, annoying beats, and his voice sounds like shit) -Drake (If you're not a female or a homosexual, you shouldn't be listening to him) -Usher (Same as above) -Trey Songz (Same as above) -Ne-Yo (Same as above) -Chris Brown (Same as above) -Everyone from Young Money -Wiz Khalifa (I don't hate him, but I have better quality music to listen to) -Lupe Fiasco (Same as above) -KiD CuDi (Same as above) -Mac Miller (Same as above) YOU SHOULDN'T LIKE AN ARTIST JUST BECAUSE HE'S YOUNG AND TALKS ABOUT WEED -New Eminem (He's a total Vagina now) -New Kanye West (He went crazy and decided to put a lot of noise in his beats) -Soulja Boy Tell 'Em (He's everything that is wrong with music) -Gucci Mane (Ignorant rapper that has no messages in the lyrics, just a loud beat) -Waka Flocka Flame (Same as above) -Yo Gotti (Same as above) -Plies (Same as above) -Tity Boi or 2 Chainz (Same as above) -Roscoe Dash (Same as above) -T-Pain -Anyone using auto tune (this makes music possible for tallent-less and skill-less "artists" we hear today)
