I think y'all got it wrong, back in the day, the DJ made the beats, and scratched it up. I mean they would take the break part of a beat and loop it with the tables while the mc emceed. Then time went on where they would sample, and make their own beats, but they would throw scratches in cause that was like their solo part [see terminator X it!]. So the deejay was mainly the producer, but now, the dj is mainly a record spinner hype man type. Cause now the producer/dj, can walk on stage and rap too![see the intro for every new song]. Cause if dre does a track for you, he's not gonna go on tour and stand in the back spinnin records for you, your DJ's gonna do that. All the old school cats still get out there, and rep [premier, Jam master Jay (rip), mister Cee], cause thats how it was, and always be. But new cats don't have dj's, or rather "dj nobodies" spinnin and keepin the show goin cause they got multi producers on the album.

^ same thing i said... except you had way more examples...

i guess this clears it up

like im new to this nn all, so how can i actually battle then

^by sucking my dick WRONG FORUM!

im sure there are plenty of people on the site who can spin, scratch, juggle, mix and everything else that goes along with dj'ing, its not the hardest thing to learn, lol. Took me about 3 months to be able to mix my beats into eachother, was scratching within the month, still working on smoothing out my juggling.. but ive only had my tables for about 4 months, it ain't that hard...

^RAPbattles.com

Yeah that would attract a hoarde of DJ's..

Obviously you do not do anything remotely hard when juggling. . If you think it takes 4 months to become a good DJ.. You're kidding..

Post pics of your equipment.. Then I shall believe you.

DJs arent always producers just as producers arent always DJs...

and I think making a beat is alot harder than scratching a record on a turntable.

^Shut up. lol It's like you only joined to post in this one thread.

theres alot more to djing than ppl think.....

but the difference is that Producers are the studio guys that do all the equalizing and alot of the beat making, but a producer can be a dj too....an example of a dj/producer is DJ Premier....he makes Gangstarr beats and spins them on stage.....a example of just a plain producer is Eminem, he makes beats but he doesnt spin them on stage.....i think thats right
