"I See You There"
Moral quandary: If the point of DJing is moving the crowd, when is it appropriate to prevent people from dancing? Could it possibly be when it's nearing 2 A.M. (we Cantabridgians need our rest) and I'm looking at the front door? In the word of Marv Albert, Yesssss! And let's face it, if you haven't been dancing to my shit all night, I'm not about to let you oblige me now just because you're drunk. Hypothetically, of course.
Caveat: When the people appreciate Lord Finesse's "Bad Mutha," some but not all of the above becomes okay.
Random Claim: Am working on a review of Ellay Khule/Rifleman of the Chillin' Villain Empire/HipHopKclan/Project Blowed/Afterlife. Ellay is tastefully, impossibly fast. You know how Twista double-times his rhymes, only he's not really saying anything of substance so he's just double-timing nothing? 'Cool, he just said "KeithSweat" twice as fast as I would have.' Ellay's not like that. Just take my word for it. And search out the 'Skillenium' 7-inch, wherein our hero infinity-times it over a drowsified bit from 'Planet Rock.' Here is something Dave Tompkins wrote on Ellay that is occasionally intelligible and always inspired.
Happy New Year. It should be a doozy.
