DJ Craze is one of the most respected deejays working today. In 1998 he was the DMC champion of the United States and the World. He has also worked with some of the biggest names in the business. So it goes without saying that he takes this whole music thing very seriously. He also has some harsh words for anyone he believes is not in it for the right reasons. Speaking with D-House Entertainment recently the deejay said, “If you [play music] for the right reasons, it shines. If you like playing all kinds of shit and you like doing all kinds of shit, it’ll show. If you do it just for the money, it shows and you’re corny. Flo Rida you’re corny.”
But he was quick to praise some he considers a true artist: Kanye West. Craze related some of his experience from touring with Kanye on the emcee’s 2008 Glow In the Dark Tour. He stated, “I was just thinking, ‘Kanye, the superstar guy, was gonna finish doing his the show, go to an after party, get with the hoes, just be a rock star,’ and none of that [happened.] The whole time we were on tour he was working on 808s And Heartbreak. When we were in China…everybody went to the Great Wall to check it out. And I was like, ‘Where’s [Kanye] at?’ And they were like, ‘He’s in the studio.’…He had a makeshift studio in the dressing room and he was always, always working. This guy wasn’t getting any sleep. He wasn’t messing with girls or trying to go party…The work ethic was just incredible.”
Craze also has music of his own in the works. He described his forthcoming release, an EP, as “coming out sometime in March or April. [It’s called] Dance Alone. I think my fans are going to be like, ‘What the fuck is this?’ ‘Cause it ain’t hard bass stuff, it ain’t turntablist stuff, it ain’t Hip-Hop stuff, it’s some different stuff. I’m gonna wait ‘till I put it out to show ya’ll people.”
Was the Glow in the Dark tour the one where Kanye turned his stage in to a space ship and pretended he was a robot? That was so fucking gay
man this is an intelligent comment. Glad we have people like this in the hip hop community to keep us all grounded
So dude basically hates on Flo Rida for selling out then announces he’s releasing a dance album? Hmm… irony.
That shit was fucking hilarious: “I think my fans are going to be like, ‘What the fuck is this?'” What the hell does he expect, the shit is probably going to be literally shit.
Fuck Flo Rida, he corny… by the way, Buy my dance album! ahahahahaha
LOL!!! This shit made my day
Craze has spoken…
I had the pleasure to kick it w/ dude the other night. Brilliant dude.
People should already know by now that Flo Rida’s not really that much of your typical rapper. His music is more like dance-style hip hop. Kinda like the Black Eyed Peas’ music.
I met DJ Craze before, he’s a good dude. But I honestly think Flo Rida enjoys making the music he does, I’m not a fan of that bullshit but I know some people like that club ex poppin shit. And yeah Craze does spin techno and shit so this was funny to me, and the album coming too- pure comedy.
And you know the funny thing? Niggas love “Rick Ross” fat fake phony badge wearin’ ass, but give Flo the blues… when in reality, Flo Rida is a muthafuckin’ reputable goon who REALLY ran with Boobie. He don’t have to play hard in his music, cause his history in the street is impeccable. He made it out the game, and wants to be happy now. Big up, Flo. Matchbox, stand up!
LOL, it’s funny people feel entitled to criticize Flo Rida as if he inherits some kind of obligation to make a specific type of music.
..Let the dude live. He likes to make dance music so he makes dance music. And honestly, for what it is, his shit is good… You can’t listen to hoodie boom-bap rap all the time, fuck outta here..
Agreed.
Craze is the fucking man. Watched him and skibadee a few time heavy shit.
Flo’s corny with 14 milli in the bank.. DON’T HATE! Just show love for Kanye (if you got it) and keep it moving…
The dude above me is plain stupid… Flo’s a corny mofo with millis so what ? many people make money thanks to corny shit we’ve to denounce them.
