A friend sent me this.
Grandmaster Flash is the father of hip-hop. His words are right on.
“this is the madness. This is when the whole crowd is losing their mind. And that is when you most be at your most calm.
“If you’re going to do this you must be able to get in the minds of them. It is so important.
“It’s either, get into them and become a legend of all-time, or get into yourself and be a legend in your own mind
“When a human being provides a service to another that makes them happy, you have done your job. So once you figure these monsters out, you must serve. And once you can serve, the world is your oyster”.
I dunno if being a DJ gave me empathy, or having empathy made me a DJ… the ability & skills to tune into this energy? It’s like being able to stick your finger in a socket.
Such an amazing feeling to build up andticipation – everyone knows something is coming… hit that crossfader and the crowd goes wild! Get down on the floor… lost in the madness, calm in the eye of the storm.
The kid with the Bobby Brown gumby is a nice touch. Much love!
