Nice…I’m gonna hit you up on facebook…I’m in Orlando as well. As far as request, I play them on my time and on my terms unless its the person that is paying me. A request is just that a request…doesn’t mean that I will play it. Now I’m pretty good at being able to work peoples request in so its usually not a big deal. I wouldn’t worry about that one dude too much. Unfortunately stereotypically Hip Hop and Urban punters are really bad about waiting their turn to hear their music. It was like that 13 years ago when I was DJing school event to today. Everybody else would wait patiently while I played Hip Hop and as soon as I switched it up and played the other request I would have all the Hip Hoppers come over and say I need to change it back.
The one thing you need to do though is establish that you are in control of the music and that you will play request on your terms. This will show you as a strong DJ and keep request to a minimum. If you play request as soon as they come in, then you will surely become just a human juke box and nobody wants that.
