Skillz Hearts DJs

We all know what Lil’ Wayne said about Mixtape DJs. I sat in disbelief when I first heard that ish. I am happy to hear homies like Skillz that got the back of Mixtape DJs, and DJs generally. And if this looks familiar b/c Metal Lungies were the first to open my eyes to the post. Go there to download Skillz’ new mixtape. Also, just to clarify - I DO NOT THINK SKILLZ IS RESPONDING TO WAYNE. He just loves DJs. Skillz’ words after the jump…

F The DJ? Where would me or you be without the DJ?

Iiight so fuck the dj? For real? Wow! First lemme say I don’t get alot of radio/club play, sometimes my record don’t apply & I can understand that but I don’t care if I had no spins on my record I would never say fuck a dj. No DJ at all, I wouldn’t say fuck a DJ that I don’t know!! lol It just baffles me how the hottest artist out right now can say Fuck the dj’s!! Where would he be without the DJ tho? Real talk, I hear his records and its always a dj playing it. Be it on the radio, in the club or on a cd. If you hot then DJ’s gon fuck with you but they are part of the reason you hot, its a tag team kinda combo. You rap on everyone’s song (whether they want you to or not) you jump on cats tracks and send em out to the world, wouldn’t you want someone to think its hot enuf to play? So then I heard him on Drama and he said ” Fuck them dj’s”! Niggas takin my music and puttin out CD’s that ain’t official. Nigga? You rapped on 70 songs that wasn’t official! Alot of these DJ’s are branding you. They making you hot! If a kid grabs a best of cd from the barbershop he bought that for some of your new shit, If I asked him what CD he got he’s gon say yours, not DJ (insert name here) presents you! You gave DJ’s the option to play whatever you made…YOU gave them the option, you rapped on everything. Its crazy how cats do DJ’s after they get to the point that they want to get to. No single, you been rapping over everyone else’s shit for more than a year , you even book shows and do mixtape songs for over a year and right before your album drops its FUCK THE DJ??!?! You said it ain’t about the money so why would you care if they make a little change on a mixtape or attempt to keep their name up by formatting and sequencing some of the music that you put out for FREE?? Some of these cats work at a radio station and clock in for two hours a day if that! They gotta hustle( clubs, weddings, parties, mix cds) just like you for the bread but now its fuck them? I’d go rap at a DJ’s daughter’s 8th birthday party ( and do drops while I was there) to make sure I’m in good standing with him/her, cuz as long as I make records Im always going to need them. Even when he called in to clear the shit up he still didnt really. Wow..y’all made him the hottest rapper out and he said fuck yall & then said fuck yall again? See how these cats do you? Yall really need to support the artists that support you. Yall have the power to change this shit. I have a new record and album coming out and if I asked a dj if he had my record he could look me in my face and say he doesn’t have 1 Skillz record in his Serato & I wouldn’t say fuck him! I’m scared of what would happen to my career if I did that. But my question is how can you make rap music and say fuck the dj and have a career, thats what the fuck I wanna know.
