that’s a dope gif, ima have to steal it lowkey

but anyway help me understand what you trynna say then fam

classic

fam. All u have to do is read the post. I don't know how to make it any clearer than i already have. Y'all seem so hung up on the title when i clearly explain what i mean in the body text

• you saying DJs weren’t cool anymore to feature on projects

• you think newer gen brought them back

• you questioning if it’s a trend or gimmick

what am I missing?

nice, now tell me where in those bullet points do i say that DJ's overall are not cool anymore or have no place in the industry, or are this mysterious cryptdid that people under the age of 35 don't know about?

Why is the title more verbose now

because half of the people ITT seem to have only read the title and decided to attack some strawman of what they think i said so i decided to remove any aspect of ambiguity

the idea DJs weren’t seen as cool on projects is wrong tho

I mean the idea that they are nostalgia bait doesn’t makes sense when they broke out many of the acts that become stars in the newer gen
Chief Keef & Lil Uzi just to name some

Because OP didn't hear DAMN and is dying on this hill

Disc jockeys

Lmfaooo

IDK how to break this to you chief, but we're getting close to 10 years now since lil uzi was broken as an artist

And also a lot of people hated DJ's on tracks to the point that No DJ tapes were desired

You wrote this thread like you work for pitch fork or complex or Spin, one of these magazines tryna fish for content. I’m watching you!

Bruh I KNOW you didn’t just source another ktt thread of four pages to back up your point

OP doing Olympic reaches itt.

no

He pretends to have made this sample flip on his own when dilla had already done it.

OP was born in 2012

Edit: and isn’t American

I like my classic mixtapes with DJ Tags

African rapper actually, he’s Nigerian

First thing that came to mind

I get what OP is saying though. To an extent.

Niggas like Kendrick can do it cuz he understands the cultural significance of having Kid Capri or whoever on a song. Same for Tyler and Drama or Logic and Flex. They also not hurting For bread to not be stressing the royalties.

But the average new rappers ain’t tryna split royalties to have a nigga screaming on their s*** and since all tapes go straight to streaming now that’s the real reason it died off Imo. The DJ would have to either forego royalties, which they probably wouldn’t go for when they think of how Drama made a lot of those tapes better with the s*** talking and drops, or the rappers would have to say here’s 50% of my money to scream like a madman over my music so fans can complain for a version without you anyway lol
