Dj vs Artist

Im having one of my off nights but I really wanted to get
this topic through as hard as it may be to articulate.

It pisses me off bad when I see a track name changed from
the artist's name to a dj who used the record on an album.
Who is more deserving of praise here? lots of djs barely do
shit to records but beat match them. Is it right that they
become rich off other peoples hard work? I dont quite know
myself what the piont is. Its just seems ridiculous
sometimes to release mix albums. Often I dont see the
difference from a mix album and a infomercial compilation. I
guess I just dont get how some shit is able to be released
sometimes, and how much a dj's ass can be kissed.

Well wouldnt it be more obvious that the Dj changed the
track to more of his/her beat- some mix's are better then
the actual track-you respect where the originality is, but
you give praise to the one who mixed it just right

And if he/she did the track wrong them you send that fucker
to hell.

I agree some djs just make it work. But if you looked at
some American Djs I think it would clarify my point. Which
is: look at this shit!!!!!

My best mate is a drum n bass DJ.
It's tough shit but we both know that producing is "tougher"
overall.

He's getgin back into producing (me and him used to both be
FL heads before he stopped).

BUT mixing is more of a fun thing.
Tons of our mates have shots on his decks and scratch andf
shit (scratching isn't a smuch fun as I thought it would be,
I've only ever really had a go of it liek 3 times, mixing is
really boring to me).
He loves it though.

He has a bunch of my mp3s he wants to scratch to and beatmix
etc hahaha

It is fun, but when I see Oakenfold(padon my french) mixing
a kosheen track lets say. Its always "oooh oakenfold is the
shit, I love his songs, look that group of girls over there,
they are gonna suck his cock after the show, along with that
group of sasha & digweed fans."

usually record companies pick one of their best djs to make
a mix/compilation of their artists, i dont see any harm in
that

remixes are ok... sampling without permission ... a little
bad.

Im not trying to stir anyone. I dj on occasion, I dont feel
Im at the level whered Id assign myself a cool call sign
like Im a jet pilot or anything. But I get the feeling that
what Im doing and what alot of djs are doing pales in
comparison to what a lot of artists do. Maybe Im just
feeling inadequate. Or maybe guilty about the admiration I
sometimes get from spinning other people's handiwork.

...but honestly as long as you're having fun who cares if
you're getting more adoration that you deserve?
