Hey there once again. Now I need sometime to vent so feel free to comment of you can relate to any of this stuff.
How many of you had to deal with people who're annoying or just out to take something because they know you like something or someone? Yeah we've all been there but the thing that really upsets me is the fact that we repeat this behavior no matter how old we get. Its all out of childish jealousy. But what really makes me mad is the fact that when it comes to groups or anything else you always have to be left out or they choose someone else making you feel invisible or like nothing at all.
That's some seriously stupid bull(bleep) pardon the language but in a way its true. Its enough to make you want to retreat to a different place & never come back. Also another thing that I really hate is that whenever a group comes up that you want to join because they seem like they have the same interests as you it turns out to be about 'requirements'
So they'll make up some called rules or have you do all of this stuff to qualify/ (There's always a catch which is so annoying.) But anyway some of these clubs & groups are all about keeping up a certain image which is so tired. So here's what I say something's you're better off without because if being apart of a group means you have to forsake your friends or your tastes just to be cool then it's not worth it. It's better to do your own thing.
So as you can all see this has gone on long enough & I'm tired of it. For one we all work hard to try to make something out of ourselves or try to get where you want to go only to get lost. Other times you just feel that sometimes that some people don't want you to really have anything or be around anybody. It's enough to make you want to cry or just ask why bother,
So I guess my main point in all of this would be if something seems to good to be true sometimes its false & that's the last thing you want to deal with.

Loss of legends
Hey there one & all DJ Dizzy here & I wasn't really planning on posting this but it has to be said just last month we lost a legendary singer that of Prince.
Now to be honest there are some songs of his that I enjoy listening to & he was the kind of guy that brought versatility to his work & you could really hear it in his music.
Also in addition to him we also lost another one this year that of the wrestler Chyna.
She was not only a well know but also she was an actress who unexpectedly died at the ripe age of 46. Though its unknown how its speculated that she wasn't breathing. She was a wrestler I truly liked cuase she proved that she could really hold her own with the guys & she proved that you can be both pretty & tough all at the same time.
But these are two people that'll be greatly missed but strongly remembered for their work & we'll never forget them for it.
So out of respect for Prince here's my own tribute in the form of a live performance of lets go crazy.
Prince & the Revolution Lets go crazy (Live 2007)

Until then I'm out so keep calm & ROCK ON!!

Thoughts of a DJ: The Rules of singers & musicians
Okay the following has to do with a few thoughts I have regarding the habits of some of these singers & some of these awards shows so pay close attention because I have some rules that it's about time I shared the rules of singers & musicians so pay close attention.
Rule 1: Stop showing off! Okay now I can't stress this enough because if there's one thing these singers do is they show off their octave instead of singing the song. (They scream & they take too long.) But overall sing the sing its about the music not so much your voice.
Rule 2: Don't over do the wardrobe: Okay I've seen a lot of these singers overdo the wardrobe what with jewelry & furs & sequins first off this isn't "The Pimp Awards" So either keep it dressy or casual. Don't make the performance about your costume or outfit. Image is nothing.
Rule 3: Stop showing your pipes (Literally!) I've seen most singers do this a lot. When they sing they really open up their mouth a little too wide Okay unless your doctor is in the audience quit showing off your tonsils or the rest of your gullet that's kind of gross & most of all save the lozenges for AFTER the show please?
Rule 4: Bring a few people with you. Once again on award shows you've seen how they bring a whole mess of people in their entourage well no disrespect but keep it to a minimum of family & friends it doesn't take that many people to accept an award. Its not a buffet & its not a funeral or a wedding. Don't bring like 50 or 60 people with you half of them probably don't know you anyway.
Rule 5: Know the words. To all you singers out there when singing a song it helps to ACTUALLY know the words to the song quit mumbling & sing it.
Its okay to mess up but not when you're live.
Rule 6: STOP LIP SYNCING! I've seen enough live shows & concert to know that some of these singers are faking it what with auto tune so unless you guys want to goes found out or lose your fans stop lip syncing just because you can't really sing doesn't mean you should cheat.
Rule 7: How you sing. Okay another thing sing from your diaphragm & your guts not so much your throat or your nose I've noticed a lot of these singers doing that. This is why most of them don't have much of a voice to work with after a while.
Rule 8: Know what you're doing. I can't tell you how many shows I've seen where there are singers or musicians that really don't know what they're doing when it comes to performing, Don't be about the fame but rather about having fun & the music.
So anyway that's all I have to say regarding some of you so called singers out there. Be about the music & not about your voice so much or your image. This is all coming from a DJ so listen good. Music isn't about groupies, Fame, The spotlight or anything else. If anything it should be about self expression & showing people what you can do with your own talent. Not trying to be someone you aren't just so you can win something.
So instead of trying to be about having ties to anyone famous how about being yourself & most of all have fun with the music. Its born to be free.
Rule 1: Stop showing off! Okay now I can't stress this enough because if there's one thing these singers do is they show off their octave instead of singing the song. (They scream & they take too long.) But overall sing the sing its about the music not so much your voice.

Not The Sellout- Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Underneath all
the glam
deep down I
feel like a robot
at your
beckoned call.
Do this, do
that well to them
I say thanks
but no thanks.
Trying to be
someone so hot
When we all
know they’re not
Between you
& me I’m
better off
doing my thing.
Try to make me
the star
you want me to
be
dude that’s
not me.
Breaking free
from the life
I once had but
don’t want to know.
What’s done is
done I’ve had my fill
(Chorus)
Busting out
from this prison
Make your move
yeah I dare you.
Don’t change
me for the better.
I’m shouting
this out from my soul.
Yeah!
Not the
sellout you want me to be
No way I’ll
sell out myself or my beliefs.
(Repeat)
(Verse 2)
Superstars
everywhere
Ruling their
tricked out golden hell.
The last I
want to do is hide in a
frozen faced
shell.
Not about
endorsements
It all makes
no sense.
You won’t catch
me on any billboards.
modeling
designer clothes
Or material
things
None of that
matters to me.
Selling out is
what I won’t do
From it all
you have to break away.
(Repeat
chorus)
(Instrumental)
(Chorus repeats)

Spectre Child -Lyrics
Spectre Child
Who am I exactly? Just try to figure it out!
(Hard Rock Instrumental
(Verse 1)
I am the person that you thought
would never really
ammount to anything.
The girl you picked on
& turned away.
But now here I stand
back with a vengence to make you pay.
You've done nothing but either
torment me that or get rid of me
By leaving me behind.
The problem with that
I only wanted one thing
For you to respect me
Despite me being partially blind.
(Chorus)
I am the girl that you slammed
& straight dissed. The same
girl that you rather not
miss. The same person
deemed as unruly & wild
I am the Specter child!
(Verse 2)
I am the person you'd rather forget
I stand walking with many regrets
Because you want to decieve
Now I have no one to believe.
It's all because of you that I was
able to set my darkside free.
I keep asking if things
are even meant to be.
Too bad we all can't
be as privilledged as you. & thanks to you
I have a near broken soul so feel my fear
for its the day you'll soon rue.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Instrumental)
(Repeat chorus twice.)
(Instrumental fade out.)

2016 Grammy's Review
Hey there one & all its your old pal DJ Dizzy here & its that time where I do a review.
This one involves the Grammys which I had the pleasure of watching last month
well lets begin. For one the hip hop category was on fire this year what with Kendrick Lamar taking home some wins &11 awards. But there were some good performances though. Including a share of tributes such as Lionel Richie & David Bowie. Now my thoughts on that would be only this: WTF?!! Okay how're you going to do a tribute to David Bowie & not do anything for Natalie Cole? Though I enjoyed when they showed her singing that duet with her dad but other than that they could've done a little more for her like have another singer do one of her songs. That right there was not only a snub but also a slap to the face. That's just as bad as what they did to Farrah Fawcett when she passed on. (They didn't pay tribute to her at the Oscars for those who don't remember.) But anyway there was also a Broadway performance of Hamilton which was a first & it won an award & pf course Taylor Swift won Album of the year & for song of the year Yeah you guessed it Uptown Funk..
But the best part of the night neither Kanye nor Justin Bieber won (Thank Goodness)
But overall this years awards were pretty good compared to some of the ones in the past. So if anything this one gets a 7 from me.
So with that said here's the winning song of the year so get up & shake what you were born with.
Uptown Funk- Mark Ronson
Until I am OUTAA HERE!!
Thoughts of a DJ: How people impact our lives
Hey there one & all its your old friend DJ Dizzy here & I've been doing a whole mess of thinking about this for quite sometime & I'm sure that we've all had one or a couple of people make a huge impact on our lives. Sometimes its a friend or people you lease expect.
You sometimes wonder to yourself if you're good enough for them so what do we do? We put on airs by lying about who we are just so we can get their attention. (Who hasn't done that once or twice?) Sometimes we even do that to authority figures because we don't want to fail or get shot down.
So the question I ask is only this: When you get that person's attention is it worth it in the end fearing that they might leave you? Well lets hope so there's always going to be someone special in your life but its always going to be hard to see them change because they aren't that same person that you once knew but you also figure that part of them is still there or might be.
But you never forget the impact they made on you & sometimes you never forget that. But overall sometimes what you say to a person & how you treat them can impact them depending on how you do it.
