So you want to be a Dj?



     Even today in 2018 it still seems like everyone wants to be a dj. Some truly want to study the craft and become part of the culture while a large portion of these alleged knowledge seekers are infatuated with money, fame and potential affection from women with poor judgement in men and bad taste in music. But for those who truly seek the path to higher levels of turntable enlightenment Rob Swift and his Brolic Army are here for you.


    In 2014 Swift began teaching a course called 'Dj Skills & Styles' as a professor at the New School for Liberal Arts in New York City. During the course students use turntables and vinyl to learn the fundamentals of mixing, scratching and beat juggling. With only twelve student per class each semester you are damn near getting one on one time with one of the most respected and experienced turntablist on the planet. If you are like me and desire to battle then this right here might be exactly what you are looking for. How serious you are will determine if going to New York for four months to work on your scratching is worth it or not.

TSS Presents 'The Thing About Pre Rolls'

I don't roll joints and it's not often that I smoke one either however I am a big fan of the pre rolled joints that you can get in any of your local dispensaries. Typically the pre rolls are a full gram and are usually priced between five and eight dollars. The trick to pre rolls is not to light them. Instead open the tip and pour some in your bowl and you will find that you have several small sessions worth of weed left to get you through the day. The usual low price of pre rolled joints also allows you to sample multiple strains of cannabis without putting too much pressure on your pockets. If you are in the Denver area I recommend taking a look at  https://www.cannasaver.com/  to find great deals and coupons on pre rolls and other cannabis related products. The third photo illustrates how much of this joint is left after smoking two bowls (possibly three but I don't remember). For the record this particular joint was a 1.5 gram Super Alien (hybrid)  Kaviar...

TSS Presents 'Friday Freestyle Report #07'

If you are looking for a way to fast track getting your rap name known outside your city here are two platforms that are not charging artist to come on and spit. The expectation is that you're not going to show up and do some bullshit. This is for elite level emcees. As a viewer who hates the wait between videos I don't want one to come out and it's a disappointment because you suck at rap. The first video is a conversation between one of the host of 'Bars On I-95' and the hostbc of the 'No Ghost Writer' platform. Reach out to these guys and make get deeper into the culture. You help keep this alive in the proper form when you participate. You can't buy this type of respect but you can earn it and here are two places you can start.    Popperazzi Po gives a lesson.
