Don't Be Mad, UPS Is Hiring
Props to TheBeautifulStruggler for this one:He looks happy.
...and even if they aren't, this recession is too ill for folks who don't deserve their jobs. Someone else is always, ALWAYS waiting in the wings to replace you. Personally, I'm just waiting for someone to realize that I would be better than Toure at whatever exactly it is that he does.
Meh.
Whatever. I'm talking about people who don't deserve their jobs and specifically, wack-ass DJs who aren't fit to rip the 1s and 2s. Or the F1s and F2s, it seems these days. Man, I was in a nice little spot this weekend and there was some DJ I had never heard of spinning. He was playing all types of jams: Black Moon, pre-bitchmade Nas and of course, some Michael Jackson and Slum Village. Folks were jamming extra hard...well, they wanted to, but dude was LITERALLY only playing about 20 seconds of each song. Just enough to let the beat drop and then...next! WTF? Was he just trying to show off his collection? Did he simply want people to know what he had? Or did he get off so much from the way the crowd went wild every time a new song came on, he had to have the feeling over and over? It was truly puzzling. Who wants to hear that ill Ronnie Laws sample (thank you, interwebs, for teaching me all I ever wanted to know) drop from "Who Got The Props", only to have your dreams crushed as another track queues up? Not me, dammit.
Speaking of wack DJs and the late, great King of Pop (still doesn't sound right), y'all DO realize how large this man's catalogue is, no? I need to put this out there now, as I know there will be some celebrations of his life at the end of the month to mark his birthday on August 28th. I am sure sick of DJs who only can come up with MJ tracks found on "Number Ones". Between the Jackson 5, the Jacksons and Michael's solo work, there is so much to choose from that one needn't fall back on "Rock With You". Honestly, I am tired of "Rock With You". It's one of my all-time favorite songs, but I heard it in the club and on the radio regularly before Michael passed and now it's getting out of line.
