Uh, it was cykrider who brought up the discussion of money.
Yeah, $80,000, and that’s if I get a bad job. I will most likely make anywhere from $90,000 to $115,000. Plus, most companies offer luxury cars to employees as an incentive. So I’m sorry if I’m wastin your fly flava, but you need to shut your trap.
Tokiwoki, you just don’t get it. What you might someday make means nothing to the subject at hand. It’s just you trying to act superior cause you’re mad about how I used the word “gay”. It’s not working. you don’t look superior, you look foolish. Money aint that important.

This is how the money issue was brought up. And from the looks of it VDlovindj has yet to explain these musical concepts to me. Musicians, painters, actors, or pretty much any artist know about their trade. You are not a musician, you a teeny bopper twerp who pushes a button to modify music.
I’m sure this could be said for everyone here. Maybe ten years from now everyone will read this thread and see how pointless and stupid all of it is. cykrider will cringe when he reads his “cunt” reference. He will also have learned by then that techies aren’t the only people making money. Nacho4Sara will wonder how she could ever have been so holier-than-thou. Then again, maybe we’ll have to wait 20 years for this.

No, I don’t consider modeling a “real” career. And I’m not too worried about fucking up your universe, so if you’re offended then cry to someone else.
By the way, individuals who have a college degree make an average of $20,000 a year more than those without one. That’s the difference between your Honda Civic and my Lexus SC 430.
Come on, you can do better than that. If you know anything about modern dance music of any flavor, you’ve got to know that good DJs know their craft, easily as much as any musician knows their instrument. It is most certainly not “pushing a button to modify music”. Get off your high horse.
cykrider:
That conversation is covered in this thread.
I’m 25, and just to keep the trash talk flowin’, your a freak nut sucker tryin to play it hardcore, but your really just playin’ candyland, bitch.
Fun stuff, huh?
DaLovin’ Dj
I never said anything about you using the word “gay”. Don’t even get me started on that. I’m not the one who looks foolish, G dawg.
Wow, you’re really into money, aren’t you? How sad. Should I pray for you?
[Dennis Miller]
Hey, people are sailboats and wind is money and with enough of it, well you can get blown just about anywhere.
[/Dennis Miller]
Weren’t you the one who stuck up for yourself by flaunting your financial status?
Please, pray. I’m sure I will be damned to hell if you don’t. :rolleyes:
Jesus H Buddha, I can’t figure out what is more irritating – DaLovinDJ pretending he’s straight out of Compton or Tokiwoki pretending he’s Donald Fucking Trump.
You all are painting yourselves as gigantic babies.
I’m a dj - hippity-hop-flava-playa …
My portfolio is divergent as it relates to the pork-belly market and the new Lexus XYZ Class luxury Sedan…
Bitch!
Cunt!
You’re gay!
You suck!
Do not!
Do too!
Here’s the lowdown -

[li]Hip hop lingo goes down great guns with a hip-hop crowd. SDMB is not a hip-hop crowd. You want to keep it up, feel free, but don’t be surprised when a majority of people have no idea what your “rappin’” about.[/li][li]Nobody gives a shit about how much money you make or what kind of car you drive.[/li][li]Spinning records and being a musician are vastly different. Yes they both take skill and talent but they aren’t even remotely the same thing.[/li][li]The word “Gay” is a touchy term. You will piss some people off by using it as an insult (we went several rounds here to try to figure out whether or not the word “queer” was offensive - this is the same ball park) - deal with it, if you insist on using it that way.[/li][li]Rap sucks if it is performed by talentless people. Just as rock sucks if it is performed by talentless people. The problem is, in today’s musical climate there seems to be a wealth of people willing to throw money and recording contracts at anybody claiming to be a Rap Artist - so we get to see a lot of talentless rap.[/li][li]I’m right and everybody else is wrong, so everybody just shut the hell up and go home.[/li][li]Sheesh![/li][/ul]
How do you know I’m not Donald Fucking Trump? 
I’m a musician…I would be hard pressed to explain in words those terms. Most of the musicians I know couldnt either, because they are not classically trained and don’t use words like that. So what. Are only classicly trained musicians musicians? nope. I’ve seen instructional videos with Buddy Guy where he didn’t know the names of the chords he was using. I think he’s an incredible musician. I hear SRV didn’t know any thing about music theory, either.
I was classicly trained as a Violinist until I got bored with it and moved on to elctronic music. I went from there to blues piano and organ, and havent even thought much about theory in almost 20 years. There is an MP3 here of an organ solo I did with my old band(youll have to rename it .mp3) . Its not my best work, but I think its music. I know some incredably talanted musicians that don’t know theory. That doesn’t mean shit. I think just because someone uses a differant method to create music doesn’t make them any less of a musician.
Ever listen Isao Tomita? Much of his stuff was, and I quote from the liner notes “electronically created”. We used his version of the pacabel cannon at my wedding. My mom likes his stuff, and she is a graduate school theory proffessor, with a Doctorate in Music Education(she hated it when I dropped violin). If you look at the stuff he used to create his music, Its not really musical instruments in the traditional sense.
I think Moby has great deal of talent, and a lot of his stuff isn’t performed in the traditional sense of the word. There are some hacks who just re-cycle and sample other peoples works, and there are those who do something new and original with it. I haven’t heard our friends work, so I cant comment which group he falls into(If I were in New York, I would check it out).
It’s interesting that a lot of people here say they’re trying to fight ignorance, but then they jump on DJ for his choice of lifestyle. That’s funny stuff.
It’s got me laughing…I find it an interesting comentary on tolerance.
What sort of crowd are we?
What is being a musician? I thought it was someone who makes music. Now there are sucky music, and I for instance, hate accordian, but I wouldn’t tell an acording player that he’s not a musician.
Just thought of something. Rick Wakeman used a mellotron on a lot of his stuff with yes. That kick ass choir sound during his solo/exerpts from The six wives of henry the 8th, where he broke into the Halliluja chorus, was done on a melotron. melotron, for those of you who don’t know and probably don’t care, is the fore-runner to the sampler. It consisted of a rack of tapes and tape heads, with a sound recorded on each sound(one tape for each key). So for instance, you would record a choir singing a note, once for every key, and it would play each tape at a differant speed for the pitch of the note. Hitting the key just turned the tape pickup head on for that loop of tape.
So, was Rick playing the mellotron not being a musician because he was merely playing back a pre-recorded sound at pitch? Richard Tandy of ELO used one too…so did Tomita…I almost bought one once, just for the novelty of it. I think it was the clear one on this page, since it was in dallas when I saw for sale many years ago. I can’t imagine too many of them being for sale in dallas.
I just want everyone to know a few things, especially dalovindj. first off, RAP SUCKS!!!
Secondly, contrary to probably everyone on this board’s belief, I am female. The reason I go by bobevilsquid is it was the only name i could come up with that wasn’t taken. My older brother goes by bobtheevilsquid, I just didn’t want the ‘the’ in there. Fooled you, didn’t I?
Not that it matters, but more details of how this thing worked
