theres a certain amount of skill involved in learning to play and instrument even if you're playing someone elses music. i've seen some incredible hip hop DJs who i would consider both artists and musicians. rent SCRATCH if you don't believe me.
my point is not with you it's with 460 and his point saying that DJ's are artist and Cover bands are not.
Keyser broke it down for me.
Some DJs merely "play" at weddings and batmitvahs (sp?) others are innovative and transcend the boundaries of "record spinning manipulation "(for example, Incubus' DJ...forgive me, I can't think of his name...)
funny thing too, I had a discussion regarding "Scratch" the other day with a couple of mah peeps...the end result was that I had to see this movie.
